RICHMOND WING.
SATURDAY MORNING. JUNE n.
A PROPOSITION TO rae WINGS.


To place Wing victory in is44 beyond per-
adventure, let every wbg in the State of Virginia,
and throughout the Union, assign to himself the
task Of making one convert, or additional Wing.
The task is an easy one to accomplish, if the Wings
will set TO work IN earnest. A little indvidual
trouble is all that is requsiie-and that will be
cheapiy purchased by the deliverance OF the eoun-
try from the sway OF Demagogues and mercenaries.
In every neighborhood there numbers, who
not Wings, solely because they have moi had
to correct information. They have been misled by
slang whangers-or blinded by prejudice, and the
denominations of modern Democracy have been
carefully concealed from them. Put into the hands
of all such good Wing paper-and floods Of light
will be poured into regions hitherto benishted-
and glorious results will onsuc.
The proposed accession to the Wing Party is not
necessary to constitute that party the majority Of
the Union. We believe it is now, and has been for
years the most numerous party-but 1t must be
greatly the majority, greatly excited in 1910,
10 makeit exert its power. A large proportion of
1t consists OF business men, who DO not make po-
ltics trade, who have their individual avocations
to attend to, and are only aroused on great ocen-
sions, when uilsrue becomes iniolerable. For this
reason, it is prudent to provide supernumeraries.
IL the Wings will take the precauton we sug.
ges, we shall drub the Locos and their nllies-the
Cow -Boys-so badly, at the next Presidential cleo
ton, that we shall be saved the trouble of another
contest for half century. Even at the present
moment, with prospects, which, to the careless OF
server, gloomy and discouraging-who can
beat Harry of the Vest What single indvidu-
al can be named, who is stronger than hep His
enemies canno, point out the man now, when they
united they will be still less able TO do it, when
they torn by discussions, as they must nevita
bly, be. Calhoun, Benton, Van Buren,, johnson,
Webster, Tyler, and the Guard, nll blended into
one man, would be unequal to the cOntest-What
must be the result when Old Harry bears down
upon them, all wrsnslng and fighting among them
seves-and some OF them coming 10 his
sistance, sooner than see hated rival succeed
We will not say that the skies bright and
brghtenins-but it is our FIRM conviction that all
things working together for good, and that Hem
ny Clay, if he lives till March, s4j, will bc Presi
dent Of these States.

ENCOURAGEMENT OF LITERATURE.

LII l..
The Tyler administration takes to itself erea,
credit for one literary appointment, conferred las It

author whose name IS confessedy chief among our
popular writers. We mean, Of course, Washington
Irving.
With the Tylerites, single swallow always

and Louis XIV. were mere Goths and Van

We chance 10 have found out that near n year
ago, Mr. Irving solicited, in yan the Consulship nj
Paris-a post not worth more than from $4,000 TO
$4,000 per annum. His application wns backed by

iEFS'rhe Enquirer and Madisonian manifest much
alarm At the idea of conspiracy, which they say
is on foot to eyict the gallant Captain Tyler. That
worthy, they say, is TO be impe ached TOR some Of
his numerous sins of omission or commission, and
Mr. Mangum. lately elected President of the Senate,
is to take his place. The particular offence for
which the Captain is TO be arraisned, is said to he
order to some Of his subordinates to pay some 5
or 5000 to some person, who had no legal right to
it. The underng at FIRST refused to pay the money,
on the ground that there was no authority for it,.
lie was then preremptorily commanded by Tyler to
do so, or he Cryer) would find some one, who
would. This is the rumour, and it is said that it
be fully sustained by evidence.
This is certainly grave offence against the letter
as well as the spirit of our institutions. Its an
assumption on the part Of the Executive of an abso
lutte control OF the Treasury, and practical dispo
sl,ion of the public money TO reward his favortes
in direct violation OF the law. II his Exceency
Is arraigned upon 1t, and the charge is fully esab
ished, we alternative, but that he must be
broke. The effect OF impeachment upon such
character would be the same as that which attended
the o,racism, when inflicted upon a worthless citi-
zen OF Ahens-it will fall into utter dsuss and ne
yer more be resored TO during the existence OF the
Republic. On this account, and wishing to see the
impeachment provision OF the Constitution preserv-
ed IN full vigour, should regre, the necessity of
subjecting MIR Tyler to its penalties.
The Editor Of the Enquirer takes comfort, under
the imminent peril, which threntenshis friend, from
the fact, that nItho' his Exceency may be guilty OF
the high crimes alleged against him, he cannot be
convicted without the concurrence Of two-thirds of
the members tOf the Senatc) present" lie pre-
sumes that his party fra ends in the Senate will, of
course, sustain the Captain-the robbery of the
public Treasury, not being in their eyes an offence
which merits reprobation or punishment. The Edi-
tor knows his own irie nds better than we do, and
his estimate Of them m ay be just.

well attended, and its proceedings were eharaeteriz

tainly find me. You love me no more, there
fore love no more. o my God, forgive %
Henry guessed the meaning of the words.-
The palace resounded with his cries. They
ran up at the cry of the Prince. Some servants
with lighted torches accompanied him to the
fountain of Garenne.
Why prolong the sad tale? The corpse Of
the lovely maiden was found in the lake,which
the water of the fountain formed. They bu
ried her between two young trees.
The grief of the young Prince was unboun-
ded. Henry Nv. is now the idol of the French
people. He achieved great things, He ex-
perienced much-lost and won. But hear,
so pure, so loving and so true, as the heart of
Floretta he won not again. And the sad re-
membrance ofthis angel he never lost.
This was THE FIRST LOVE of Henry Nv this
the ONLY ONE. So loved he never again.

With earnest diligence restrain

Nerve thy young arm her steps to guide, -
If fades her cheek, be near her side;
And by life of goodnens pay
