World haze allowed some disappointed Office
seeker or Loco-Foco Chapman to dis2gure some
TWO or three OF the otherwise well-tlled columns
of their last paper Long as this article Is u
substance MAJ be summed up il FIVE lines mus
"The Wings went into The l1te Presidential! can
yass without any principles, or any they dare
" ayow; ,hey succeeded By fraud and the conse-
"quence i, that they are nov broken up and ami
"hila,cd." Such IS the substance OF the article.
Ma, ~ the writers naked assertions oppose
,,de,iable fqcts It IS fact that the Wings IN
the late canvass universally proclaimed themselves
hostile to the Sab-Treasury and the Financial Pol
jcy generally Of the then existing Administration;
agains, the reelection Of any President while in
Office against the extension ~iiIch had been giyca

potic acts Of Gen. Jackson, and in favor Of
strction Of that power in favor Of restricting the
interference Of Oiice-olders in Elections III favor
Of Retrenchment Of the Expenditure. Of the Gov
ernment; in favor Of aboishing the control Of the
President over the Treasury and Treasure Of the
Nation and in favor Of regulation and eqnaliza'
ton Of the Currency Of the Country through the
action of Congress. All these important and salu-
tary Reforms we're advocated aud urged by the
Whiy party through lis Addresses, its Journals,
and the Speeches Of it, public advocates No
party ont of power ever before joined Issue with
its opponents on so many and such important
points of dificrence-no party ever before proposed
50 many important changes from the existing or
der Of things. And yet it pleases Loco Focoism
TO reiterate over and again oft-re(utcd calumny
that the Wing party ayowed principles Do
they hope that the mere repetition Of this fasehood
will ultimately give the effect OF truth
But the writer asserts that the charge is con
clusyeiy proved by the fact tia, the Harrisburg
Convention. the only authentic 0rgan(D Of the
party, made no declaration OF princirles-by The
fact that resolution offered before it by delegate
from Kentucky that an address should be issued To
the People of the United States, em5odying the
principles and measures Of the Party, me; with
such cold reception that it silently with

Now, az We happen 10 have been present a, that
Convention, and ,olerably well acquainted with its
deliberations and doings, will state the facts,
and see how far they bear out the writer's asser
tons:
The Convention assembled on Wednesday the
9TH day at December-most OF it' members ar
irving at Harrisburg that morning or the preceding
evening. Throughout that day and the ioilowingan
active spirited canvass for the Presidential nonin-
alton, including u comparison of views and OF the
local strength of the respective ndidate cngross-
ed all energies and thoughts. At 10 o'clock on
Thursday evening an informal nomination was
made, aud an adjournment Immediately followed
From that time until meeting the next dny, every .
thought was turned to the healing OF disappont
;nents and the selection Of a Vice President -
Many members departed that morning, and it was
known that urgent business would call away Far
more at o'clock-thai many were exhausted
aud weared by tho exciting canvass that the Con
vention must adjourn that day, continue with
sadly diminished numbers. In this position, just
before the final adjournment, proposition was
made to appoint Committee to report an Address
and Resolutions. Its adoption would have rcQuF
ed continuance for another day at least; to pre-
pare a proper and effective address would have
CURED at least two days. The Convention there
fore resolved not to direct it, but that instead o: it
each delegation should communicate to their con.
sttuents the nomination and the for sus
tanning it. in such manner as they should think pro-
per- Such are the facts on which the writer bases
his charge that the Wings dare no, avcw their
principles
And now let us state few more facts with
which the writer in the New World would seem
to be unac quainted:
In 1924 there were fire and ultimately four
candidates for the Presidency hut general Ad-
dress or Declaration of Principles was put forth
by the friends of either, except possibly, by those
of Mr.. Crawford.
In 1928 Gen Jackson was the selected and
cessful candidate of all tae opponents OF the ex
listing Adminis,ration-roning in by nearly Us
great majority as that of Gen. Harrison in 1910
We, no general Declaration Of Principles was put
forth by his supporters.
In 1882, Gen. jackson was again nominated,
with Mr. Van Buren for Vice President, by Ma
,iOnal Convention # their party: but no -4idress
or general Declaration Of Principles toas put
forth by that Conreation. Its absence sub
ject of general remark
We could multiply facts Of this kind; but it
cannot he necessary, since the utrocious wicked
ness of neglecrng TO pu, forth party creed did !
not destroy other parties who guilty OF it,
think it will hardly anuihilate tn, Wings, who in
essence and spirit guilty
