A DISSATISFIED PARTY.

There is not a more unhappy set of mon
than the Wings. They are never content but
when in trouble They are never satisfied but in
the midst of universal depression. They are dis
satisfied alike with victory and defeat Their
groans proclaim national prosperity; and their
shouts national adversely Their habit of dissats-
faction is hereditary. Their fthers were dlssatis-
fled before them Under one of their old names,
they were dissatisfied with the policy of England.
When the trial opposition to her usurpations came
they were dissatisfied with resistance They were
dissatisfied with Washington and the Confedera-
ton. Under another of their old names they be-
came dissatisfied with the Constitution. They
were dissatisfied with Jefferson and his ultra re-
publican principles. They were dissatisfied with
Madison and clamored for war; when war was
declared, they were dissatisfied with war and clam
ored for peace They were even dissatisfied with
the limited dispensation by Providence of nocturnal
light, and to supply the providential deficiency
hoisted beacons blue" to lure their friends to the
plunder of their country. They were dissatisfied
with the calm and prosperous administration of
Monroe And when by palpable political colu-
sions between certain 4" great Western states
man. and a certain Eastern candidate their own
minority President was elected they soon became
dissatisfied with him and withdrew the support
necessary to his reelection. They were dissatis-
fed with Jackson and Bank, and equally dissat-
isfied with Jackson and no Bank. They were dis
satisfied with shinplasters and still more dissatis-
fled with specie currency Now, in less than a
year after his elevation they are dissatisfied with
the man they literally worshipped by psalm sing
ing, coon Staying and hard cider libatons into the
Presidency And to crown the whole they begin
already to be dissatisfied with their chosen candi-
date-their " Hero of the West'-their future
omnific creator of some fanciful order of things,
who, by oft disappointed ambition, is we'll quail
fled to be the leader of a dissatisfied party. Their
dissatisfaction extends even to the trfes of names
Tory, Federalist, National Republican, Whig,
Democratic Wing, and Others for the time being,
captivating cognomens, have been manufactured
or stolen for the occasion, and repudiated with
equal facility when surcharged: with 'the odor
of sanctity," from their Simon Pure principles.
Change-change-ch moticn-promotion
new-an endless restlessness is the prominent and
almost only characteristic Of the Universal Wing
party So inveterate has this habit of dsSatisfac-
ton become, that some of its more experienced
leaders have declared that the Whig party can act
successfully only on the ofenSiue; that it can do
nothing without some real fancied of object dis
satisfaction against which to vent its spleen; and
that cannot exist in majority for any length of
time, without danger of being exploded to atoms
by the expansion of its inherent elements of dis
cord. Hence the policy of their war upon the
President, to divert the spirit of dissatisfaction
from its proper objects. If a majority in Congress,
their dissatisfaction manests itself in fighting and
heading" one another. If majority in a State
Legislature, unless their opponents give them suE
fcient cause for dissatisfaction, they resign =
Even in death, as "the Sardonic GRIM settles on
the countenance ofthe party at approaching disso-
.lution its garruous murmurs and attitudes of ag-
gression present melancholy, yet most ludicrous
example of its "rung passion strong in DEATH"
