WHIG PROSPECTs

II there be any Wing who desponds

months let him recur TO our PROSTATE
condition ia 1899, and from that take
confidence for the future. Then we
were every where overrun, State az
Ter State, 10 1888, had unfurled
the Wing flag in3loriously deserted
the standard and some which bad
never faltered in the Wing faith, pro-
we'd recreant 10 that year Of Wing dis
asters. With Congress carried against
Us the whole Democracy through
y united on their candidate who wa.
in Office, and welded the whole pat
ronage Of the Government TO sustain
himself, the LOcofoco party seemed
fully established in power, beyond the
reach Of attack. The prospect fo
the Wings was then truly gloomy, ana
DIE stoutest hearts might have been sx
cused for such misgivings. The veal
and faint were in absolute despair, az,

The Democratic Whig. [volume] (Columbus, Miss.) 1842-1843, 1843-08-24

But 1910 came, and the bitter defeats
OF 1889 we're succeeded by q series
ofthe most brilliant political triumphs
ever archieved in any country.
Our condition now cannot, even BY
the most timid or respondent, he ie-
garded as half so hopeless, as it was 10
1889. Now, we are united, both as

are distracted without principles, and

much folly, and such gross contempt
Of public decency, that il can avail
but little ; and when il is considered
that our opponents have to shoulder
Tyler for the use Of il. it is positive
drawback Upon them.
But there is fact in the very con-
stitution Of the two parties, which
serves fully TO explain the cause Of
these periodical discom6ures of the
Wings. The Wings, taken in the
aggregate, are those people, who do
not make politics a trade. They have
other and regular pursuits, on which
they rely for the support Of themseltes
and their families. They, therefore,
do not abandon their usual vocations
at every election; Il is only on great
and stirring occasions. that they all
quit their private duties, TO attend to
the affairs Of the Government 1t is

It becomes our melancholy duty TO announce
