THE BEGINNING OF THE END.

The Wings have been pretty unanimously
entertained for some time past by the little
squabbes in the Republican family. 1t seems,
however, that their turn is to come next, and no
doubt sufficient quantity of entertainment will
be furnished for the "other side"
Some time ago, if we mistake not, the Intel
ligencer said it could support Gen. Scott as
heartily as any other man for the Presidency /,
and we then suspected, if the elections in fifteen
States this summer and autumn, should demon
strdte that the Bank party was utterly impotent,
there would be some kind Of diversion in
politics. We thought that some prominent
Wing would modify his sentiments on the cur
rency question, and then supercede Mr. Clay
We see by the last United States Gazette.
what we conceive to be symptoms of the begin
ming Of that end, though. we do not by any
means aspire to be the Talleyrand in adius ing
the matter. From the extract which we append,
our readers may recognize the symptoms Tor
themselves:

PARTY MATTERS.
We have been amused with the perusal of an arti-
Gle IN the Lancaster Union, IN which the editor of
that paper takes to task for &" yindctive harsh
and repulsiye course towards those who are not
friendly to MIR Clay" This is, we believe the latest
news Of the kind and all we say now is, that it
" needs confirmation" Our contemporary of the
Union of the three four anti-Van Buren, pa
pers IN this State who deem IT a sort of monthly
duty to attack for our relations with charitable
association TO beabor stouty and loudly, not, we
presume, TO injure US feelings so much as to
keep up appearances at home. This we infer from
many circumstances, but especially from the fact
that from TO the other of these periodical vista
tons, we say nothing and do nothing that has the
Buukum articles, which we laugh at as well as the
rest
But the Union says that do not mean to acau-
esce in the nomination of the National Convention
But we do mean to acquicsce and what is more we
mean that the nomination shall be one that every
friend of the country shall acquiesce in it
But why should we be suspected Are we more
attached TO the man of the nation now than we were
IN 1899 And did not then, on the very day on
which the nomination OF Harrison was made remove
the name of Henry CLAY from our columns and in
its stead, place those of Harrison and Tyler? And
did we not, with heart and head and hand do what
ye could to promote his elections And when that
was secured did ever present ourselves at Wash
ngton the supplisnt for reward for Office
We have said nothing against General Scott the
candidate of the Unlon and the editor Of that paper
knows, and resents It; while portion of the Scot
press has been loud and offensive in IFS gross and in
.ulting attacks upon Mr. Cloy--so loud, that they
cannot acquicsce ~ his nomination without injury TO
ais cause,

OUTBREAKS OF BANK WHIGGERY
The distracted Wings have burnt President Tyler
in eigy in various places in Indiana, and especially
IN Kentucky, the Banner State, where occasionally
Wing may be found who can read and write.
Prentice, of the Louisville Journal says:
"On Monday night the efigy of the President was
burned in this city and the mock execution was wit
messed by thousands The ceremony appears 10 have
been conducted by Of the Most respectable young
gentlemen (chety Virglnians) in Louisville, and there
was as much solemnlty on the occasion as we find
usually at real executions"
1t is denied however, that those &" most respectable
young gentlemen" were chiefly Virginians." If they
were they must have had the Bots very badly

apologies to his readers for issuing half sheet by
informing them that himself and all the hands had

Good contemporary authority

| LANCASTER, July l5, 1910.
| NY DEAR SIR On my return from Columbus this
evening, received your letter informing me that it
was asserted at public meeting in Washington coun-
ty that in speech at Phade phia had said the true
question between the parties was Bank Of the Uni
ted States, and that you, from knowledge of the
real question and Of me- had contradicted the asser
ton. In this, of course, you perfectly safe.
made no such statement, but the very contrary.
avowed that the true question was and is, the resic
ton extension Of Executive po,certhat lis encroach
ments, open and covert were of The most alarming
nature, and, if not resisted must in the subver-
sion of all that is valued in the Republican princi-
Piles of our Government and that gorgeous monar-
chy in effect, II not IN name must rise its ruins
said that our opponents were attempting to make the
question of Bank the issue between the parties |
spoke Of the pudenee and absurdiiy of the attempt
That Bank was not and never had been considered
by us any thing more than mere matter of con-
venence--a useful article Of furniture in our noble
sdyfce That our opponents were grayely raising and
debating the question whether this article Of furni-
ture was convenient or necessary-whether we should
have table seitee standing in has--whle
their sappers and miners were at work tumbing its
walls and columns about our This, with ampli-
hcaion and Illustration, is the substance of what
said touching that particular subject You perceive
therefore, that you did not mistake my opinions or
my language.

him with betraying his trust, 10 deeeiyng the Whigs
who had made National Bank The issue before the
country at the election, Sc, Sc and with many like
compliments. But if the reader wishes to under
stand Mr. Tyler's true position, he will read the mas
ery letter We have repubshed IN our last page from
the Albany Argus We scarcely be mistaken in
the author
Alongside of this liberal and luminous Argument,
we place the following letter, communicating a re-
markabe reply of Mr.. Secretary Ewng-to show
that though the issue Of Bank Bank was ten
dered TO the Wings, they directly declined a. Some
of them not only Graded H. for fear OF losing votes,
but Others in the front ranks of the Wings denied
that il was the issue at all If MIR. Tyler, therefore,
throws himself back upon his ancient principles, they
have no right 10 complain. lie Is no traitor. lie
has betrayed no trust The Wings made no such
issue for him-and he is not bound by any such.

"To rnr EDiroR | have sent you a Wing paper
Of this place, containing letter written by Il Ewing,
the present Secretary of the Treasury during the
campaign OF last year You Will make such use OF
it as you may deem proper. This letter was called
out by charges against MIR. Ewing relative to the
issue, Bank Bank We who took the stump
here as elsewhere in Ohio, sought TO hold the then
opposition party to their text; but want of candor
and political integrity induced reckless and raudu
lent evasion of this important question. And now,
when the power is gained, and the people wronged
out of their suffrage the question occupies the fore
boldly threatens the dissolution and overthrow of
the Federal party, while all others become of
60 minor Importance " Mr.. Ewing first to pre-
sent plan of this institulion-frst to make it a
prominent and leading measure of the Admins
tration. And Mr.. Tyler is to be denounced because
it is claimed that he has taken stand in open def
of the will of the people, expressed IN this be-
half Such were the professions of Mr.. Ewing, aud
the leaders of the Federal party, TO bambooze the
people--such their aim and policy TO forward the
work Of innovation and consolidation. This letter,
coming from the source it does, corresponding with
every act of Federal treacbery, to obtain triumph
over the ayowed, uncompromisng, and constitutional
principles of the Democracy Of the country, II may
be well enough to place alongside of the professions
and practice Of MIR. Ewing before the people, and
whether he, with his Federal contemporaries, have
been expert gamblers with the peoples suffrage
in Bank stock, land scrips, and other splendid schemes
of personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. The public will Judge
whether the legerdemain of Whiggery has AREA
dy proved too far the merciless scourge Of the peo
pies rights

They were not requested to give any opinion as TO fu'
