SrArs OF PARrIEs.-In various parts OF the Un-
ion the Clay Wings have hoisted the banner OF Hen
~ of the West, and the prospect Of his being the
candidate Of the Bank party for the Presidency, in
1874, is no longer. we think, predetermined.
Well, this is what we want, the contest will once
more be waged on principle, with the great orator
for their leader, the Whiss can no longer conceal
their principles from the pobc eye; bst sheif rotten
currency, shin plas,ers and broken hanks with their
mammoth mother and high tariff, will show them
ssl-.. ia all .he;r hidenns deformity.
The day a intense excitement has gone by. COON
skns are no longer marketable and hard cider is drv.
on from the land by the all glorious Temperance ref
ormation. The losses attendant upon broken and
failing banks has awakened the people to their true
interests, opened their eyes to their worst enemy
fictitious and deprecated currency. and their good
sense enlightened by the returning second sober
thought will teach them the proper estimation in
which to hold men who by the whole course Of their
lives are pledged to carry out certain great and prom
,nent public measures.
While this side Of the picture is quite certain, we

the great democratic party will rally around the grea-
test statesman of the age. he who by long life of
civil public service has shown great ability in the
management of public affairs and the guidance of a
great nation with success through period Of stormy
trial.
While there are many prominent men in the dem
ocratic ranks, honest capable and faithful yet MAn
TIN VAN buren,, of all others, is the man to whom
the country looks as the pilot who is to guide the
bark Of State safe through the shoals and qucksands
into which the Wings have run her.
The Wings have so far "headed Captain Tyler
as to cut off all the hopes he may once have had Of
forming third and Tyler party-with no. or but
few friends to sustain him he ESQ says rumor) has
or il about TO disconnect himself from those who
have shown so little sympathy for him and throa
himself into the arms Of the opposition for succof
and assistance during the unexprsd portion of his
term.
rupture in the cabinet is talked Of as certain and
several leading and prominent Democrats, as Gov.
Marcy Of New York, and the Hon. A. Stephenson
of Virginia, are with others to goin.
By this move President Tyler may live through
his term, but without any hopes Of longer service
while the contest will be left to the great leaders Of the
great opposing parties into which the nation has ev
or been divided.

Harris is the nominee Of the Democratic Convention,
and as such will receive the cordial support Of ma
jority Of the people Of this county, but as to ack-
nowledging themselves the party Of any man, they
never will do il. however free the Standard may he
to speak Of the Bowen party. While the principles
profcssed by the Democracy opposed as they now
are by federalists its advocates canpot be separated
or led astray by their confidence in any man-the'r
motto il prnciples-and men, protesting them 70
eUfry them out. The Bowen party" we presume
are tied down to the Doctor and have to bear all the
insults his tools may be directed to offer.
.Querry-Would the Standard suffer foreign goods
to be brought to this country. and then leave it to
the choice Of the farmers to buy them or leave it
alone, or would it have them exclude altogether =
Our impression is that il we to dispense with the
use of foreign articles the most respectful way to get
to living on home manufactures altogether, is, first
to convince the people that it is wrong to buy where
you can get the best bargains and imporations will
soon cease If we refuse purchase their goods, and
they are suffered to remain hand, we are decided
" of opinion that 10 the next quarter OF century
thew would be taken away in search Of another mar
ket. Wont the Standard give the people the same
chance Of purchacing foreign goods or leaving it
alone, that it does between Pillbox and Judge Har-
ris! How can we protect home manufactures with
out deprving the puope of their choice in selecting
articles they desire!
