At the urgent solicitation of the Wing members Of Con-
srsss and in pursuance of invitations extended to us from
varion sections Of the Union the undersigned have been
induced establish at the Of the Federal Govern
ment new Wing Journal, called 4" THE lNDEPEND-
OF the necessity Of having the great centre of pol
cal information and movement spirited Press devoted
exclusively to the interests of the Wing party It were
needless for us to speak 1t necessity which all must
see
We believe that twelve years arduous struggle
that John Tyler has been basey false to every cherished
principal Of the party that elcv him power and to
this conviction, left the Wing party but
TO fight the battle over.
We shall advocate with earnestness the term prn.
cpe the rerenchment OF expenditures, reform OF the
abuses of the Government radical reduction Of the
power and patronage of the Government indispensable
TO American liberty, The distribution Of the proceeds Of the
Public Lands and National Bank, in connection with
policy In restraint of the excessive mportatons Of foreign
merchandise the only Of restoring sound
rency and good exchanges, and revving the national
prosperity.
To article in our creed we ask special attention

that the present Executive Administration is by far the
corruptes we have had since Unions existence and

EDWARD W JOHNSTON
JOSEPH SEGAR.
Washington, April LIST, ls42.
We cheerfuly unite with " Col. Webb of the
gular army" in recommending every friend of
Henry Clay, and of an od-fashioned United
States Bank" to send subscriptions and donations
to Peasants e. Co. They want money and must
have it. They almost reduced to skeletons al
ready, by short commons Unless the people shell
out they will burst up, and the Wing party will do
the same-both taking the benefit of the bankrupt
law, and following thus in the illustrous footsteps of
Colonel Webb.
We can recommend the Independent, as the
most remarkable paper in any country. In the way
OF abuse and magnity, it beats Prentice Of Louis
vile all to pieces-and almost rivals Rabeais worst
works in obscenty, falsehood, and horrible moral
depravity. Not paper is published by these "Vir-
ginians" that is not full of the biggest falsehoods
against the President of the United States, the Sc
cretary OF State, and every one that wishes to
republican government treated with decency.-
Traitor" cheat" " scoundrel," "fool," "petti-
logger" third rate lawyer" ." seducer," "forni-
Gator" 'iadulterer," thief are some of the very
choice terms applied by these amiabe and refined
Virgnans to those who simply differ with them in
opinion about the candidate fit to be next President
of the United States
This is a rare smell of some of the dishes prepared
by these cooks. Their object is to make Henry
Clay the successor of John Tyler, and TO procure
new United States Bank; and they certainly have
taken a very original method to accomplish so big
job. 1t is highly curious experiment in politics,
literature and philosophy But they can't get on
without money. Those who want to aid this pro-
ject, will please beg, borrow steal, cheas or plum
der, in order to get them the cash. Donations of
any kind will be taken by these natives of vir-
ginia''-od ,coats out at the elbows-old breeches
broken in the seat-od shoes-old boots-cold wit
tals-any thing, every thing. Charitable persons
will please TO take noce-al donations of this kind
will be thankfuyrece and punctually forward
cd to Washington to the three starving ''naves of
Virginia" All the friends of Mr. Clay are requested
to fork the needful. We ourself mean to send
a box Of" old clo'," and 500 in certain {" old |
fashioned United States Bank, to the poor men, by
way of gratitude for the choice epithets they have
generously heaped upon us. Such kindness ought |
not to go unrewarded

HIS WHE.-This miserable man, it will be re- |
membered, murdered his wife last Monday |
