THE WING PARTY TESTED AS If

BY FIRE.
The 6erv furnace Of trial through which Mr..
TYLER has been leading the Wing party, has
I been test Of its soundneSs aud purity that but
Z few parti~s have ever stOod, or could stand. -
I II Is true that now aud then, loRgo iaferraiio,
a Wing has surrendered TO the power Of pat
ronage, and here and there a man was bought
and paid for,--bui the victims Of corruptions
I have been few indeed. as compared with the
number Of the party. and the brillancv Of the
temptation; and the DETECTION Of these few has
not had the least influence upon the orranizs-
ton Of the whole party or upon IT'S efficiency
for action in future campaigns. The moment
Office made a man "a Tyler maa," that mo-
ment he was powerlesS with his former friends
while every day, we see Wings made sacri-
fee ii, because they viii not become "Tyler
men," pickering 10 give up place 10 principles.
Indeed hundreds Of them are thus sacrificed
wecsly-ior now that the cities are reformed,
the Tyler broom Is busting and sweeping in all
directions in the country. Ten penny post
masters as well as ten thousand dollar ones are
going. The Wing camp has now in fact, he
cnlpe pretty well swept. There are but few
Wings left ihere. The relics are chirty Tyler
men demoeraii-ed, as The new process Is called,
that Is, men ifaitorUus 90 their own principles,
10 be more iraiiorous to Mr.. Tyler as soon as
they dare tn be.
Into this fiery furnace out Of which the
Wing party hes come urscathed. Mr.. Tyler Is
now plunging the 81 called Democratic party
The Washington Globe, knowing the materials
of which its party Is compo;cj, and shfewder
than many 81 its party contemporaries, bitterly
inveichS against Democrats accepting office un-
der Mr.. ~ Ter. The Globe knows what We
are daily seeing, that an oiii-e-ho.der, under
Mr.. Tylel ceases 10 be Van Buren, man, that

and the Globe well knows too, hat when he ae-
eepts Office, the temptation Of Office viii be too
erea, Tor him ever 70 be gatheed back into the
Van Buren ied. Hence the hitter imprecs-
lions Of The Globe upon Tylersni, and Tyler
men, and upon Mr.. Tyler himself, and the
Tyler Cabinet about him-fo- what Tvetism
was in vain attempting 10 DO with the Wing
party, that Is, disoIg anize it, the Ghbe fore
sees, Mr.. Tyler will accomplish, and Is indeed
accomplishing in theirs through the patronage
Of the Government.
Now il Is the highest honor Of the Wing
parly-it is the clearest demonstration Of its
virtue, and Of the value OF its PRINCIPLES, that
it has thus wiihstood temptation. After
struggle Of twelve long years for the helm Of
the Government, il succeeled in Obtaining il.
bot on the threshold Of success, deprived 81 its
chosen helmsman, and finding the sho of State
in new and dangerous hands, il preferred TO
abandon il, and all the honors and patronage
that accompany 1t, rather than TO be compton,
ise6 in its principles or lis honor. PowerleSs
with honor, was better, IT reasoned, than dis
honofahie power. Principles are wrih more
than places. And what IS remarkable too,
that though thus 10 the arms Of victory stripped
Of oil its fruits, Wings are not ia the hast dis
eouragrd, and were seldom reader or fresher
for future action, They reason now, and they
reason well, that the exeIiions which brought
them victory once will bring then victory
