TO THE WINGS OF MADISON.
1t should be remembered las has been
remarked already that the ocoGoco par
~ with defeat staring them in the face,
since the last fall election and previous
TO that time, when defeat was considered |
certain, have seen the necessity of start
ing something new to divert the public
mind from their own deformity aud hu-
initiation. They who SO long held en-.
tire sway over state and national affairs,
having been reduced to level with the
balance Of US, cannot rest satisfied. They
must at all times be engaged in some
scheme to elevate themselves above their |
fellows, and insidiously cry out, equali-
ty, democracy, on their part, and charge
upon their opponents, everything calcu-
dated to create prejudice against them
some being so completely blinded by par
ty iNfatuation, that no virtue ofany sort
can be possessed by political oppo-
neni; or fany is seen, it appears hide
Gus to them. They sacrifice everything
to party, and as their present particular
friend Mr.. Calhoun once said, 4" they are
bound together by the adhesive power

candidates in the field, or by want of
vigilance--whereas the Wing party are
frequently beaten and represented by the
most rabid locofocos, as is the case at
present in the senatorial representation

since in the congressional election in
Florida; as has frequently been the case
in this county, and various other places,
and all for want of concert and man.

true that it is not wing policy, or part
OF wing politics to be strictly party in
their character, but they should organ.

candidates as they want to elect and nc
more, vote for their nominees when they
have them, and no others. By this

candidates are frequently elected to re

mentioned. These remarks have appli

Legislature, to take place in Novembe

dislike to back out, and too many will pro
badly refuse. There are we think a hal
dozen locofocos who are very anxious e
have the pleasure of representing wings
but we will guarantee they do not hav,
more than twO candidates. If the whig
allow themselves to be defeated in thi
way, they will deserve it; but we hop
they will organize aud concentrate thel
forces. Kinds county has looked littl
ridiculous, represented in the Senate b
locofoco, and Madison will look equal
so, if proper means are not taken to pre-
vent it.
The election will turn on the bon
question. That affords the only oppo,

they lost last fall. The bond-men, as W
must call them, for breyity, who will /

probability, be wings; the anti-bond-me
will be of the opposite party. Thu
