A REPUBLICAN FARMER.
Tile RElGN OF TIE MnlGs.

Congress closed liz session Yesterday. The Wing
dynasty is ended. In two short years the standard
bearer has fallen, the log cabins have been sold for
taxes and the hard cider has changed 10 vinegar. The
fruit Of those great principles Tor which they claimed
to contend, has been harvested and dealt out 10 the
country in portions, according 10 s strength 10 bear
it, "One Presidential lerIa-the integrity oil the pnb-

Of it that there is left Lastly, and chiefly, they
struggled and fought 10 achieve the GENERAL good oil
the people, and what they nave pshed is altoge
Their too general to be perceived felt by individuals
These things have been effected By the "unon OF the
Wings for the sake Of the Union = This consi-

Of the Wh,gs, for the sake of the Union - Alas oil

But there is another view 10 be taken OF this snhec'.
The control Of public affairs deposited in the
hands OF tie Wings with an nnallmity Of voice, and
plenude cf power before witne ssed in this
Try Aad what have they done They commenced
t'eir career with unparalleled bitterness and hos
i'li'y 10 their opponents who werc in Office sweep
ing expulsion was commenced, tina, was happily ar.
resled.
With majority Of forty On join! ballot in Congress,
they next repealed tie SuhTscasu.y and in less than
eighteen months, this principle O. t!r previous eent

De1ate ard soienu declarations o. mankind. What
respect would be attached t. sac ichle and unstable
will rs this:
They next declared That they found debt of twenty
millions, which had been caused against the Govern
mcnt by The previous administration If this debt
isted, their integrity and justice required that like pru
dent men, they should economist and husband the
sources of the Government, that, q. the earliest
moment, The debt might be cancelled. On the con-
tsaFy, they long and loudly proclaimed the existence
Of the debt, and then Immediately voted to give away
donation, the choicest portion Of the national in
come. Thus the debt instead oi being cancelled, is
doubled, and the Government has teen cramped to OBJ
tain lis daily bread.
Aya'lins themselves of the power granted in the
Constitution to pass Bankrupt law they framed
taken from The creditor, the contract was annued the
debtor sci free and his property, which should justice
have passed 10 the creditor, expended in the ope
ration. After the country had endured the evils and
injustice OF the measure with almost superhuman pa
sieuce, and some COED about 10 be anticipated from
it, especially If modified, they refused either amend
OF suffer its longer existence The body Of men
voted TO repeal II, while The country witnessed with
tunismen, their freaks of instability
They set on foot scheme TO RAISE up great navy;
they created home squadron, but have never yet
manned and eqn'pped all tho vessels. The hopes and
pride o. the navy were raised only 10 be dashed down
again.
They progressed 10 he the particular friends OF ma

goods Of other na'ioas and the consequence is tina,
other nations have vas, stores of their goods hand
for which there but small! market, and we have
grannries and store houses full Of produce that
growing old and musty, and will soon be suPplan;ed
by successive crops, and the present trade is down
