Now, this likening his master to an

For our part. without the aid of this

our apprehension,as like one ass as an

90 The Locofoco prints affect TO
ridicuIe the Wing party by calling
them the 'coons' and reproaching them
with the pageants, which they adop-
ted in the Presidential canvass Of Is
40.
A long course Of maladministration
Of our Government, most obstinately
persisted in, had at length reused feel
ing Of indignant opposition, which
swept through the land in that memo
rable contest carrying everything be-
fore it by its resistless force. The
numerous pageants and immense as
semblies of the people, that were wit.
messed in every direction, were not
humbugs prepared for the occasion to
produce an excitement, but they were
the natural offspring Of the high
wrought enthusiasm, which pervaded
the country.
The various emblems Of coon skins,
cider barrels, log cabins s. C. were
adopted from some striking incident
with that exciting contest,
md served to relieve the severity Of
hat political struggle by the glee and
,Ieasanrry which they afforded. The
esult was deeply mortifyng to the Lo-
os and they endeavor to derive some
elief for their painful defeat by attemP-
ng to throw ridicule on the Wings |

From the New Orleans Bee.

There never has been a struggle
so unequal as that which the Wings
have maintained during the present
fall. In the frs: place, with an execu-
tive, elected by themselves. exerting
the patronage of his high office against
them, they have had to contend against
the seductions of power and the emol-
uments of place which have ever been
found powerful enough to Withdraw the
time-serving and meicenary from the
support of any cause. Add to these
the lapse Of such a man as Daniel
Webster and the fragrant apostacy Of
John c.. Spencer (the conduct of the
former "afects US more nearly') and
we have a key to the disgust that has
taken possession of the minds of many
Wings who fora space have abandoned
all connection with politics or politi-
clans.
The detection of Mr.. Webster we
regard in the light ola national caIam-
ity /; his genius, his vaes attainments,
his eloquence and his fame, had be-
come part and kparcel of the national
property. That he should have vol
anteered to sacrifice the first and tar
nish the latter, is matter deeply de-
plorable, as affecting the aggregate

That the course of such person could |
be regarded with Indifference that
his genius should only excite admira-
ton or his. abasement wonder. was not
to have beeD expected. Such has
not indeed has not been The case.
We have felt the force Of his ,harac-

Union which have no debt, are the

GThe next Congress will be very i'm.
portant one; upon it may possibly devolve the
duty of electing.the next President Of the
United States. We have no doubt but that
the Loco Focos, when they discover the inn
practicability of uniting upon any individual Of
their party, will endeavor to play their cards
SO that the game shall have to be terminated
in the House of Representatives. That the
election of President should ever have to pas
from the hands of the people to their represen-
tatives, is political misfortune, greatly to be
deprecated, but we have the strongest hopes
that the Wings viii prevent this difficulty.

@ 1t begins 10 be more and more
apparent that breach in the Van Blu
rem party must take place, unless MIR.
Calhoun is the candidate. The claims
Of our favorite Col. Johnson, seem to
be wholly disregarded. and the con-
test in the East and South is narrowed
down to Van Buren, or Calhoun. The
friends Of Mr.. Van Buren, are for a
convention but the friends of Cal
houn though they believe him TO be
the favorite Of his party, are not will
ling to trust the secret machinery Of
the cunning Albany regency. They
know absolutely that a convention
would decide the matter for Van Bu-
rem, and they. therefore, decline con-
vention absolutely. The friends Of
Calhoun alleged thatV aniBuren would
not be sure to carry the Northern
States, while they feel certsin that they
cannot give him the South. His vote
for the tariff of 1923, and the vote Of
Silas Wright, and others Of his espe-
cial friends wonId cause hin1,fo be worry
coolly received in the South. .No:bet-
Ter proof could be desired that Mr..
Calhoun will not abide the dictation Of
a convention than the fact that the
Edgefield Advertiser - published in
Mr.. Calhoun's own neighborhood. has
unfurled the Calhoun banner, with the
emphatic inscription, ''nos subject to
the action o. any convention, inscribed
upon its folds. eve have this day"
says that paper, "hoisted the flag un-
der which we intend to do battle in the
coming contest. We are, and we
hope always to be, the supporters Of
Southern men and Southern measures;
therefore we unhesitatingly say, that
we have placed at the head Of our col
umns the name of Hon. John c.. Cal
houn, as our first and only choice, as
proper person to fill the responsible
office Of President Of the United States,
without the action Of any convention"

The most iudicious ofthe WING

The most judicious ofthe Wing
prints in New York, express strong
hopes ofcarrying that State at the APP
preaching election. The apathy and
Indifference, which lost Ohio, have
stimulated the Wings Of New York to
a vigorous and united action.
From all appearances if the Empire
State should not give Wing majority
at their coming election, the contest
must be close.

THE PROSPECT BRIGHTENS!
From the Troy Wing.

! The loss of Ohio already begins to
nroducA sa1u:ary effect upon New
York. The wings OF IT,. ise Empire State
a: last perceive that on them the DUTY
again devolves Of staying the tide OF
Locofoeoism, and turning it back into
its its Legitimate channels. Their old
war-spirit revives at the thought. The
veterans OF the GRAND ARMY of 1910
again gather round their Eagles. The
young warriors are rallying in every
valley. and on every hillside. The
din Of preparation begins to resound
through the State, awakening those
who sleep, and stimulating to action
by fresh inducements, those who are
up and doing. To ARMS! To ARMS!
| is every where the cry.
Well is it that it IS so. The alarm
bell with its ''metal storm voice" can
not ring out too loud-the trumpet can
not sound 100 fercely-the spirit-stir-
ring-drum and ear piercing fife cannot
st ike upon the bearing too sharply in
the present crisis. New YORK MUST
STAND FIRM, or all is lost! New York
must STAND EIRM,s or the country will
again be deluged by the black waves
Of Locofocoism rolling their pestilen-
tial, Dead Sea waters over the revi-
wing industry of the people, and pois-
ening and sufocating the very germ Of
the nations strength. No matter if /
every other State in the Union bows
before this noxious blast. So long as
New York holds herself erect, and
stays the progress of the Destructive
principle, ALL WILL BE WELL. Her
two millions offreemen will form re-
served corps of Republicans powerful
enough in any emergency, to keep the
field until the next Presidential electi-
on shall again rally the great army of
Harrison under the banner of Harry
of the West.
We say, "the prospect brtghtens. p
And we say it without exaggeration.-
For, so far as our own, and the neigh
boring counties are concerned, the spir-
il which pervades the Wing ranks,is of
the most enthusiastic character. The
Yonng Lion Of the West, elso is be-
ginning to growl as the evil genius of
Locofocoism approaches his territory,
aud will soon put his huge pn,0 upon
him and crush him. In the Southern
tier of Countries, the old fires are bla-
zing up again, and bid fair TO light up
a general oonAagrafion from the banks
Of the Hudson to the shores of Lake
Erie. The long neglected" North
$ also ralIying in support of her Bra
dish nor do the fires Of her furnac e
.ekindle by the benign influence of the
Tariff, burn, more brightly than does
he indomitable Wing spirit in the
breasts OF her hardy sons. Every where
n fine, the OLD GUARD are sounding
70 ARMS with. their ancient energy
The war-cry is pealing from thou
,snd hills, and on the Sth of November
hey will re-assert their claim to the
proud title of the Brdvest Of the Brave.
8 The old guard neUer surrenders."

When in connection with these
things, we consider the circumstances

cofoco party, il must be confessed that
the darkest hour in our destiny is now.
The Wings had not had time to re-
cover from blows dealt them by their
own friends, or those who protested
to be such. The Locofocos have not

oruaniz,,::,on ::hat must produce divis-

We are in the worst cononrt.on for |
the full exhibition OF our strength they |
are In the best for the entire command
oftheirs. Henceforward our situation
must improve, whilst theirs will grow
worse. When they designate their
candidate for the Presidency, we VEN
ture to say that their troubles will make
ours appear light. If they succeed
with their usual address in bringing free

upon one man "a matter ofdoubtlul is
