eWnAr's IN THE YINp"


Ever end anon, we fpd mysterious
hints thrown out in the Democratic papers,
that Henry Clsy is moi, ai.tr I'll to be the
Wing Candidate; that he is ultimately 70
be put aside as ,tnardiiable: thet the Har-
risburg experiment OF 1910 will be play
ed over again
When these sufmises come TO be scruil-
nize1 and xamned closely, they vanish
into thin air. No evdeuce is adduced 10
support them, beyond bald assertion
here, or an Unauthorized supposliion,
there. Ia truth, the Loco Foco icish that
Henry Clay may not be the candidate Of
the Wing Party, is father to the whole
strategy by which the Loco Foco party are
endcayuring 10 shuttle Mr.. Clay out Of the
position which he fills with the united
concurrence of the Wing party Of the
country.
"Down, busy Devil, down !"
Mr.. Clay is not thus TO be whistled
down the wind, and the great Wing party
is not by such shallow ext ejien,s os these
to be ehoused second time out Of their
privilege and lheir preference. They are
", and with an ardor and heartness that
Will tolerate no other Wing candidate,
and book no SECOND disappoInlment.-
Already have they yielded enough to
patriotic spirit Of compromise, and found
themselves rewarded for II by John 'Fy-
ler's introduction INTO the Presld ency, ana
by Fare Itself becoming their f'e They
will compound no farther, and now they
are resolved either to win triumph which
will b. worthy of the name, and pfoiu
tive of the proper results oil a civil revolu-
ton, or they are prepared in the other al
Tentative to sus,ain conclusive and final
defeat.
No more compromise No more tenn
porising No more cowardly ciptnIatons
with expediency CLAY, IF HE is ALIVE,
for the next President, or else let the
Wing party disband, aud desparing Of
the direct accomplishment Of their patriotic
purposes, incorporate themselves with
their victorious adversaries, TO temper as
far as they en- the cruelty Of the conqne-
rors, if they are so disposed, and to pro.
mote Indirectly what they believe saluta.
ry for their country.
We do not believe that any Vino med
tates the exchange Of Henry Cley for
any other man. II there be such on one,
calling himself Wing, we would not give
pinch of snuff Tor his Whiggery. We
have never s en- such Wing, and never
expect to see him. Not either, that the
Wings are addicted to the idolatry of
man worship! They revere Mr.. Clay IN
certain sense indeed but il is as patriot
ism ven rates the vaor which has rescued
the country from slavery, or the wisdom
which has made it great and prosperous:
As t Aihenians vrnerated Themistoc'es
or ArIstl6es: rs all rational creatures
are bound to venerate m whom the
Creator has endowed with superior intel
Iect, and with public virtue correspoa-
dent t. II. Thus the Wings think OF
llenry Clay, and thus thinking, We be-
lave they are Altogether unanimous in
the purpose Of supporting him for the
highest It ton who is best qualified to
dorm It, and thr ugh its insirum nlaliy,
10 pr mote thr happiness and glory OF their
country
All these "sh Row devices" OF the enc
my TO or, ate suspicion n to detach the
Wing party from Mr. Clay will Prove I'M
tvailng.
