REPUBLICAN WIGS" at williamsburg.

When YOU find Wing putting handle hon
orcd name-as Republican" Wing, "TyleT Wing, or
wse" Wing he is generally any thing but Wing lie has
already his heart, deserted the faith and will be
prove the first "pinch of the HILL lie has already
from among the ranks of the Wing party and If he has
openly joined it, opponents, only the opportunity
OF doing with the advantage to himself and with
the greatest injury his late associates. The experience
OF has confirmed the truth OF this obsery
at this it is being strikngy confirmed by
| Mr. Wise and the Republican Wings" vino following
him in his causees reckless and frantic denuncaons
the Wing party All men know. all see, that the Wing
party and cause, III 1910 they had advocates
Jealous than these gentlemen, have noc without shadow
of public reason, enemies vndctve and agnan
Others has formidable, but abusive and
Imperative. Were their power equal their malice, ,hey
would cSterminatc the very of Wing.
These "Repubcan Wings OF Williamsburg some score
or 50, we presume, have held meeting and among other
things, have denounced this Journal pursuing
towards Mr. Wise, unworthy OF who profess love
honour and esehew injustice, &C. (Sec the proeeedngs
This meeting has condcscendod inform the public,
rhO has constituted them tribunal decide upon what
what not honour. Their jurisdiction appears our
poor comprehension, wholly usurped, and less
pertinenco than usurpson. We very willing to con
cede them the right of private Judgment but are not
prepared install them the Sovereign urbiters other
mems conduct, submit their diefu either in
iaibe or worthy OF respect than that any other
equal number of gentlemen about whom the country knows
nothing and as little.
As to Mr.. Wise, these, his Republican Wing" disci
plies, do doubt, have be CALLED by the exposure
OF his matches ergversations. Incapable of defending
himself by argument he has esorted the most compre
hensive and undiScminang accusations of Others To shift
the issue, and withdraw popular from his own in
constituencies: and they ondcavong kim by their
puny efforts, in his strategy.
I'VE have done nothing but what il was the duty of a
tree Press to do We have laid bare his monstrous ncon
guities. We have exhibited HIM from the record as the
very PhGnx OF inconsistency, and the unrivaed
Of political tumbers. We have brought the Mr.. Wise of
SO into the lists against the MIR. Wise OF Is43 and we
have made the former reute every sentiment every charge
every accusation of the later All this have DONE but
have done it without personality and with courtesy
the individual
We cannot but suspect that these Williamsburg gentle
men proposed by their proceedings the exhibition
OF inconsistencies which they felt ought be fatal to any
public man. Will they allow say that if such was
their expectation less credtabe to them even than
10 us, and that their expedient will be ineilectivel
We profess not TO know what the "Republican Wings,
mean by the spirit OF naughty arrogance which is TO rown
down the people, by system OF petty tyranny that their
free and independent votes be purchased" Probably
we shall learn at the meeting of the Republican
Wings That would seem, from the length of feath
er on 1t, to have from the White House
We have said more than the subject deserved and dis
miss II for and all.
