THE WINGS.

THE WINGS.
A short time ago the Wings were wonderfully
pleased with the idea of I" heading Capt. Tyler"
1t is now distressing to hear their wailings and see
their agonies, at the idea of Captain Tyler heading
the Wings When il was announced to the world
that "Tippecanoe and Tyler toon elected, and
that the Wings had a large majority in Congress,
lhey thought they had the whole world in a sling
During the canvass the Wings had declared that
General Harrison was good States Rights man
the faithful six had not only certified TO IT, but dem
onstrated most clearly TO the satisfaction of many
good republican, that he was not Bank man, and
we had his own certificate that the Compromise
should not be disturbed the Wing presses of the
South had held up Mr.. Tyler as States Rights man
of - the most strictest sect" par excellence NULL
fer they sung his praises all over the country, the
only who had the irmness and patriotism to vote
against the bloody bill in the Senate of the United
States he was held up to the State Rights men as
evidence that there could be no Federalism in any
Administration with which he should be connected.
Well, the Wings got into power, and determined to
carry their measures through while the steam up,
lest the people might have time for election, they
called an extra session. The first thing was to pass
the Distribution bill and the Bankrupt BILL they gave
away the proceeds of the pubic land, though they
had complained so heavily oil waste and extrava-
gance and almost went into SPANS at the idea that
the country not able to pay its debts this was
the first step towards economy, rerenchment, and re-
form to give away the means OF paying their debts.
1t necessary to do this TO provide an excuse for
high tariff; but still they could not pass it without IN
serting the provision that the distribution should
cease whenever it should become necessary to In
crease the rate of duties beyond upper cent, Next
came National Bank but here Cpt. Tyler began
to head them; neither persuasion OF threats could
get him into that measure and altno'lgh IL was
known to the whole country that he had always been
opposed to National Bank although he had for the
purpose of getting the votes Of the opponents OF the
bank, been held up as its incorporating opponent
vet because he would not sanction their bank he
denounced traitor TO the party and TO the
try; it said that he knew the principles OF the
party, and ought not 10 have been run by hem
less he intended to act with them they forgot that it
might be very justly replied that they knew his prn-
cpes and ought not to have put him into power unless
they expected him to carry them out. His princi-
pies were certainly much better known than theirs
he had often made declarations of his; the Wing party
never had of theirs in truth they had deemed a de-
caration OF principles unnecessary. We do not
know how 1t is with Mr.. Tyler, but whAever we act
with any party we consider ourselves Is much 90 the
party anybody else, and have As much right to
J govern the party as the arty has 10 govern US.
MIR. Tyler was doubtless inx,ous 10 tb every thing
to please his party, that he could do, without
fee of pinclpe, and was perhaps wiling to make
some sacrifices of tuat think he lid but he
| now found that nothing short of an enie abandon
ment OF all the principles he had always proiessed,
would satisfy MS allies that he was Considered by
| them mere puppe 10 be worked for the benefit of
Mr. Clay, and mat to satisfy then he mus, conseut to
be used To tins degradation he would lot submit,
he has found out thai honesty not only best,
but the only safe policy a.d We nope he will for the
| future putsue II.
! Defeated Ia tner darling scheme of the Bank, and
| finding Captain Tyler memorable upon ,h subject,
| the Wings sci about To head him. This they nave
attempted to do, by striving to makehI odou, To
the people Every Wing politician, aid every Wing
press, have been set upon hun, /, pull hm down, If
po sibe. But the grand scheme ior this, and that
which would have been completely Elected, If they
could have accompil- he'd IT, was thopassage of the
little ranT bIli, which Mr.. Tyler has lately vetoed.
Although the Wings have made grea oulcrv about
the finances of the country and lis liability to pay
Its debts and the necessity of regulating revenue
blI although they proiessed to ueier that after the
Ii 81 day OF TINS month no revenue cdld be Collected
from duties without legislation on he subject al
though they have had session of 3 months
and have been in regular session for seven month
yet they have made no provision to ard against this
state OF things they have done nothing To provide
permanent revenue Tor the country Why was this
There were great many OF the Wings who were
committed against High Tariff; they could not well
be brought TO swallow IT. while the proceeds of the
pubic lands were given away a measure that the
rulers of the party did not intend alb andun if they
made Permanen! tart! above ~ per cent and put
ton, of the WI gs who used De s.iste r,ignts
men, would not vote tor II II would be open viola
on of the Compromise, without any necessity fol it,
what is to be done Why, wait until the last of
June; pass little tariff to operate only for month";
until permanent arrangements can he made, it will
not be worth while TO suspend the disnbu Ion that

the Government will be dissolved nc will be com

the influence of discipline Ii they could have scared
Mr. Tyler into the sanction of the little tariff they
could by the same process have scared him into the
sanction of the big one, but he headed them, and he
has now only TO continue firm, and he has got them

rate such proceedings, and many of those men will
find themselves reuuked for their course when they
return to their constituents. The people are carried
great way by party feelings, in tunes of high
element, but they VIII grow cool and they will not
sustain reckless and unprlncpled politicians who ma
