all our great difficulties could be settled
in six weeks, and our once happy coun-
try would again flourish and blossom like
the rose.
But no, says this would be rs, let us
fight it out. Now is the time to re-es-
tablish the reign of Democracy. Let lis
draw tight the party lines, and exclude
from our ranks all who will not "go the
whols hog" W. will have none ofyour
Bank and Tariff Democrats among us
such "chaff" shall go with the Wings.
No neutral ground.-Unless you "down
at our bidding"-unless you come fairly
into the harness, resign the privilege Of
thinking for yourselves, and become the
~servile tools of party leaders, we exclude
- from the pale of the civil and social
> aions-ip short, we turn you over to
.,Ae Wings.
Now can freemen submit to such deg
radiation? Are we to resign our dear
bought rights, and become the slaves of
party? Yes, responds our sage of"76",
the same state of things must continue
the "Federal Aristocratic and Democra-
tic Republican party, will last till the end
of time" Well then, society in lis on
ward march, has at length reached the
ultimate limits of attainable perfection
the ne plus ultra of human enjoyment.
Truly, a greater than Solomon is here
a Prophet, and son Of a prophet, both
squeezed up into one! 1t is to be hoped
then, that Millerism is no humbug, for
we had all better be respectfully killed
by the Almighty and that too as soon as
convenient, than be starved out by this
iniquitous political contention.
But perhaps he may urge that the
triumph of his party would restore pros
perity. We all remember the twelve
years reign of modern "Democracy.''
The condition it found our county in, we
know. The condition it left it in, we
tea. The Wing leaders too, had prom
ised us ten thousand times, hat if we
would but give them the reins ~ofgovern-
ment they would speedily put all things
to rights. They would be the guardians
Of the Nations veal. They would es-
chew all party legislation and favOurit-
ism, That's uhat they would. Well, we
took them at their word; and their first
measure was to annihilate, for party pur-
poses, about the only valuable public in
s,itution Sub Treasury established by
their predicessors-sieered the ship Of
state among the brakers and quick sands,
ard have spent the rest of their time in
quarrelling about the succession to the
Presidency.
Oh! the beauty of party politics, where
party ism has exclusive reference TO self
ish ends, Gas is unquestionably the case
with both parties in our country at this
time rather than the paramount interests
of the nation. Still our dictator of '76'
has issued his ukase requiring that every
mothers son of us shall flight under the
rotten standard Of one or the other Of.
these immaculate parties, and support all
measures, right or wrong. We
shall not be allowed to express a prefer
ence for a specie currency, unless we
oppose a Tariff. Neither shall we be
permitted TO "ioid our arms" and stand
alooi from the turbid and angry waters
of political strife. At all EVENTS, we are
all to be whipped into the gear and must
not bolt or vince, however severely the
collar gals or traces chafe. Verify, this
"76" must be a prodigious great
man; at least, in his own estimation.
He says it is the policy of the "federal
wings" to preach up neutrality. But
how that course can subserve their inter-
est more than that of their opposers, |
l have not the sagacity to dis
cover;-but methinks | can see q reason
why office holders and office seekers (and
| take "76" to be one or the other)
should conceive it their interest to fan
flame of party strife. They make a
fat living by their offices, besides minis
tering to their self esteem at the expense
of the honest yeomanry of the country,
and we are becoming convinced that we
have a right TO say to them in the Ian
guage of the tabled frogs, which the
bovs were neltinu with efopec
