The followingis Mr.. Bolts letter 10 the
Wings Of New York, which has created
some commoiion among the Coalition;
House. or REPRESENTATIVES,,
June 10th, 1872.
GENTLEMEN

Juic Aotut iSa-s
By this mornings mail | received your
communication, informing me that you had
been appointed committee to request my
attendance at Public Meeting of the
Wings of New York, on the 22d inst, for
the purpose of presenting the name of Mr..
Clay, as the Wing Candidate for the Pres
idency, in ls44.
am proud to believe that it would be
needless assurance TO my Wing friends IN
New York, to speak of the zeal and enthu-
siasm with which have already embarked
in the same cause in which they now propose
to engage; and every days observation
of mismanagement and misruIe, tends only
to strengthen my conviction OF the necessi-
ty of calling that distinguished, and practi-
callv useful Statesman TO the helm OF public
affairs, in order to right the ship of State,
which is now in leaky and SINKING con-
jilion.
Never, at any period, has there been a
greater necessity for activity, energy and
union among the Wings than the present.
In ls40, the great mass Of the wisdom
and virtue Of the country decreed TO them,
Wing Senate, Wing House of Repre-
sentatiyes, and Wing President, thus
placing the law-makine power in their
hands, with means TO carry out their great
measures of reform in the Government,
and relief 10 the distresses Of patient and
suffering people; of this power they have
been cheated by the basest and most heart
less treachery and fraud that has ever dis
graced the page Of history since the days
Of Judas the Beirayer.
This has been the fault neither Of the
Wing Parly-nor of a Wing Congress
With the aw-making power, divided as II
has been, Congress has been powerless,
but to prevent mischief.
Ii measures, wise and wholesome for
the body polite, have not been promptly
adopted, ii has been only because Of their
anxiety, 10 avoid such conflicts with the
Executive Department Of The Government
as it has been too ANXIOUS to create, aud
such as would be calculated 10 plunge IN
to deeper suffering and distress those whom
il was our duty, as it was our desire, 20
relieve-and it becomes the honest and
patriotic now, more than ever, 10 exert
themselves, not only 10 rescue their sa-
.ed Institutions from the corrupt and pol.
ted hands into which, by accident and
.ea,amty, they have fallen; but above oil,
% shew their utter detesiation for the pue.
yie vanity, selfish ambition, and vicious
depravity, that has characterized the au-
thor Of our wrongs and to shew II in such
colors as will serve to territy all public
agents, who may contemplate treachery
hereafter.
What might have been the condition Of
Christianity, if the faithful disciples had
deserted the Saviour of the World, when
BETRAYED by one of his followers What

arms, when Arnold basely skuIked into
the enemy's camp, and offered a sacrifice
of his country and his countrymen And

and its institutions, If the Great Wing
Party should suffer the patriotic enthusi.

If this language is strong, is il at the

the country has sustained at his hands that

IS such language as it becomes every true
