oThe WIG PARTY may, in, all
time to Gomez refer 10 the action oLthe
party in the present condition Of the
Goun,rv.as an instance Of patriotism
rarely displayed A distinguished
Loco Foco in CONGRESSES said recent
" 10 have admitted. that their.yolunta-
rily and prompt rejection OF the Pur-
80, God Government scheme OF Finance
ini,s present shape, under all the cir
cums,ances, would extort the admlra-
ION Of the country! Let the Wings
ever act for the good o(their country"
HLE. Gds.,
We speak not as partisan-but as
m American, when we avow the con-
y;c,ion, that no great mass Of men in
,nra are, Rave exhibited the same pat
rioiism, the same disiuterestedne IS. and
independence, as'the Uyhigpdrly have
within the last twelve. months, They
have endured the severest ordeal WHICH
men could undergo. After an ardd--
Gus contest, which terminated ina gIo-
rious, victory, they deliberately turned
their backs upon the spOils of victory,
when offered as the price Of their prin-
ciples. TO these they have adhered
with aemanlihess and disinterestedness

The contrast between their conduct
and that ofthe late Van Buren, Party,
undef. acknowledgements, is most
striking and impressive. When the
Chief Of this latter party recommended
measures, 'whictsthep !aenHpe& i15tri-
Gus To- the EefEjte; and subversive' Of
the liberti6g ofrhe country; did. they
oppose HING Did they give the alarm
to the people, and call unto them to
raIlyt6' the rescue oftheir. institutions?
Did TREY repudialeihe .spoils Of victo-
ry, and spurh'tlie seductive. blandish-
ments Of Powers Let their conduc:
answer. Did they not, with one. &C
cord, while conlessing that the leading
measures OF their Chief were calcula-
ted TO subvert The Republic, with in
creased energy call upon their party
friends to rally around him, and sink
or acim with him? Was not devotion
10 him-the dispenser of ofice-the
great paramount and leading principle
Of their public conrse?' Was not the
