THE WING PARTY-THES SPIRIT OF ls4O-
FEDERAL DEFEAT INEVITABLE IN 1912,
AND IT'S DOWNFALL IN 1874.
"Never mind" said Wing friend of ours, the
other ~, 1--WE will show you what the Wings will
do after while Well show Mr.. Tyler that he will
not be permitted to Veto every bill which our Wing
Congress may pass at his pleasure. Clay is the
choice of the people, and we will elect him, in 1874,
by larger majority than did Harrison in 1870
We intend to rally upon him, and the spirit
which pevaded the minds of the people in the yea in
which he was elected
II all in vain for US to undertake to convince
him of the error under which he was laborDg, be-
cause at the time he had Just finished petusing The
Veto and was evidently not little chagrned at the
President for the independent stand he had taken in
regard to the tariff This being the case we left HIM
to the enjoyment of hls own NELL founded opinions,
and retired 10 mediate in private, upon the narrow
possb lily of his sangune expec atoms being real
zed and our mind Immediately fell into the follow
og train of reflection, which, to say the least OF 1t,
appears TO be as RATIONAL the opinions which our
friend had recently expressed with so much appa-
rent confidence.
lst. The Veto Message meets with the cordial APP
probation of every member of the present Admins
tration, and it is warmly commended by the Dem
ocratic press generally, that the cannot fail
to give entire satisfaction to the great body Of those
who opposed the election of Tyler in 1910. Ii then
only necessary for us to bring the Democratic aud
Tyler parties in uxta-position, and unite them in sus
tanning the President in this last noble act, and then
compare the strength of these parties, united, with
the meagre remains of the Wing forces which will
be left after the friends of the Administration shall
have been purged from their ranks. To do this we
did not it is true, descend into arithmetca calcua-
ton but we made the enumeration sufficiently accu-
rate to satisfy mind that our friend was most
wofuy mistaken In supposing that the idol OF Wing
gerry can under any circumstances be elected in 1874
When we take into consideration the host of those
who were induced to vote for odd Tip in 1870
simply because hJnest 'Ty' upon the same Ticket
when we reflect that since the Executive functions
Of the Government have devolved upon the Vice
President, another host has been added to his sup
porters and taken from the ranks of the Wing party
when consider these moving in concert with the
great mass of the Democratic party, whose name is
legion and whose is the cause of our country,
we are led the more to wonder at the credulity of
that man who can for one moment, cherish hope
in his BOSOM that HENRY CLAY can be elected TO the
Presidency in 1874
Were all the log cabins TO arise from the ashes,
and the cider casks TO be filled TO OVERLOOKING with
the Wing arguments used in days gone by; we're the
coon-skiDs of all creation resusctaied from the obli
Won to which the Wing party has consigned them;
were there tobe general among the deupct
poie.oats and poss,ams whith belonged to that
foul party they could not, and would not, the
spirit of 1910" in the minds of the people.
One after another of the bright stars of Whggery
continue to fall from their orbit and to fall in with
those who go for their country and the cause of De-
mocracy; and still the Wings say they will do some
thing glorious when their party becomes purged
