A letter published in the PhiladelPhia To.
rum states that DR.. Mrs, the Independent
candidate, elected 90 congress in tie York
and Adams district, is to all inFents and pur. |
poses a wing, and that Henry CLAY Is his
first choice for President. Considering that

Una PITCHER; the wing candidates for Con-

} CHARACTER OF a W HIG.-By DIR, Franklin
| "The Wing lives in every Stale, bat shes
to live only in free state. He claims M

: give to his neighbor He is not listed in
! sects by sounds, nor kept in them by preiu-
. dice ;khis mind is notscontracted by systems
: nor soured by bigots; it is open to God and

virtue, to his country. He adheres TO tn
men who adhere 10 these and adheres :
them no longer than they adhere to thsse.-

i these. Not lurking as d.one, to reap wha
: others sow, he cheerfuly acts his part i
, society; hedoes what he can ; he endeayor
within his sphere to promote the genera
] welfare. No matter what you call him
