They are Webster, Wise, Gushing. Spencer,
Profit and-we had almos, forgotten hi, E1cellen-
cy-John Tyler: long obs.reperous wings, and,
if Whisgi'm be culpable, every one Of them damn
ed, long ago, beyond remission.
What has made these worthless abandon the
Wing cause At least, what is their own excuse
for III
The mos, eminent OF them all AYERS tina, he holds
TO every Wing principle, and that he was decisvey
opposed TO all the leading step, which separated the
President from The Wings The others as clearly
appear, in abandoning their party, by no means to
have quarfsled with its principles. They all hold,
they say. the same principles as before.
On what. then. have they differed with the party
at Target Nothing can be more evident. Its rot
abou. Bank, Tariff. or the One Term prin -.
cpe; for on none Of these have the wings changed;
and they themselves, on most Of thsm are as b.fors
or, II not, have no right TO make their own change
ground Tor denouncing those who have remained
the same.
1t is evident. from their own com plants or apollo
sles, that their cause Of secession ha. been
simply as to the manner in which MIR Tyler was
TO be treated, when it was found that he could
no, be depended on.
Now, MIR Webster moro than hall avows Ia at hi,
own grea, dissent from tho Wing course has turn.
ed upon this-tha, they chose to break with Mr.
Tyler, when they found he would not pursue a
Wing policy; and that he. Mr. Webster thought
they should have held 10 him, lie, him act as III %
he might, under the hope Of getting more advantage
Out Of ;ha. game than the honest one Of throwing
of a leader who vas cheat.
Such is celrly the fac, as TO all the rest Of ,hes.
LocOfocoiz,ns Wings The amount Of the fact,
obviously IS that they have preferred John ry er in
office to their party cut. The force of individual
motives has debauchsd them, from the whis cause,
to tina, with which Mr. Webster avows he still diff.
iers, against which Mr. Cushing and Mr. Wise fre =
quenily voted, and which even MIR Spencer does
no, know how to defend
Every fact, then, is decisive, ss to these men, Of
political turpi,ude the most and1ned. They bav
in toe face Of public ex-cratIon ascending in the
curses and jesrs Of both parties alike, sold them
selves, in an infamous bargain, to supper, public
man whom they scorn, IN measures which they ever
opposed, and which they know to be subyersiye Of
every thing, except their own temporary influence
in an administration, the slightest connexion with
which must, in two years. become brand Of public
hate, nlmos, as indebs az tina, which God stamped
upon the forehead Of Cain.
Let such make themselves, If they will, the ,rum
peie's Of party and Of personal fasehoods. If the
public sense is fallen 50 low, that any honest man
will listen TO those who are so commemorate

There are certainly some whom this sudden ,2se
tacle Of suboins5 denunciatiOn alarms a Little, an,
who think that the public mind cannot fail to b,
affected by the concerted issue Of so many ofiea
lies al once. Blu, really, after trying with oil on
might, We find ourselves utterly unable TO thinI
that allegations not only without, but contrary to
oil proof, can make asy impression, when they com
from parties directly interested, and un orhy ofbe
lief, even II they were not swearing on their owl
account.
Where is it that Mr. webstsr's word can b. &C

As to Mr. Spencer, the circumstances Of his coai
ton with Mr. Tyler mark, beyond question, pc
l,ical depravi,y tho most isnomnious that the en-
tire annals Of ministerial corruption any wher

Of such tergivesi,ion. Mr. Cushing, like Mr. Wet
