which was denounced tending 10 corrupt Tue purity

purely ministerial character, most unnecessarily
conferred on Congressona gentlemen, as, for example,
The collectprship of New York Mr.. Curtis, and OF
Bos,on on ar Lincoln, in face of The notorious fac,
that hundreds al gentlemen equally qnahed Tor the
office m'snt have been found in either OF these great
cites
Another pledge Of the Wings was TO adopt mud,
ole rant coucatory system oil polcy-to restore Inc
Monroe OF good eengs-to lay that Internal spirit
of party, which dis,racs and curses our land And
how have they redeemed this pledge By the unre-
lenpg prosecution of system of the highest-toned
party measures in defiance of the circumstances, the
rights, and The feelings OF the minority, who, Gf !
NAV be permitted 10 commit an Irish bully constitu-
ted, | verify believe, large ajorItg OF the peo-
pie of the United States exciting, thereby, an exaspe
rated aud embttered state OF party feeling, almost
without parallel in the history of our country.
But 1t is entirely unnecessary that should extend
The melancholy and humiliaing catalogue of Wing Of
fences The whole history OF the Wing party is a
history OF betrayed confidence and violated pledges
Where are the monuments of lis craftsmanship and
patriotism Where is is promised reduction OF Exc

unless they to be found in Arnold's celebrated
hrmbug bill No. 54S, upon which your represen tave
Impressed the seal Of your condemnation, by record
ing his vote against it, and in certain paper resolutions
which Mr.. Clay introduced into the Senate. We de-
mand of the Wing party that radical, comprehensive,
well considered reform in The practical administration
Of the Government which ii had pledged itself to eff
feet, and are gravey pointed, in reply, TO few

E,9 ayse!., fellow citizens, having most so!emnly
pledged myself over and over again, that would not
tie Wing party, unless !, honestly fulfilled oil
lis sacred pledges 10 the country have felt myself
constrained, by every FEnc'Pie VI coHnoh HoHes'y,
10 dissolve The political bands which had connected
me with The Wing party, to renounce and abjure all
allegiance to it, and TO assume that free and ndepend
ent among the politca parties of our country,
TO which the laws Of Nature and Of Natures God en-.
iit.d me, until party leaders taught the stern but
sanitary Lesson, that the people viii not sustain them
unless they faithfully redeem Their pledges 10 the

zeal reformation in The administration of the &c.
"ernmen, To teach your politicians honesty is the
first ana highes, duty, fellow.czens, which you owe
20 yourselves and your country. This great reform
lies the foundation of all other reforms As have
