vulgar continuance of political charlatanry, the distr

These are the mere daydreams which are kindly
permitted TO console the rebuked ambition ct the lead
ers of the Wing party Overthrow as they are, they
cannot always despair. Each waves some AIRY VISION
for the future, each different fabric and hue The
alleged distraction Of their opponents, is, however, the
ground work of hope 10 all. The American sees the
Democratic party in pieces by the rivalry of lis
leaders, and the Wings triumphing in their unanImity
and in the popularity of their Bank and Tariff primer
pies The Madisonan soemny gives out, that through
the agency OF Mr. Benton and with the consent OF Mr.
Van Buren, the adherents of the latter gentleman are
10 be transferred to Mr.. Clay. The Richmond Wing,
the organ of the Clay branch of the same party, an
nounces, with equal soemny, that the Democratic
party is to be transferred 10 Mr. Tyler, and MI van
Buren, withdrawn Thus, by the force of prediction,
turn upon eson 4f gsy Gg when these
execution they did before with the common enemy.
In their ZEAL do each other harm, they unpro phecy
all the evil which before they poured copously upon
the heads of their opponents. The MadIsonlan pro-
claims, that the Clay are about TO desert their
principles and 10 follow in the train OF Van Buren,

the Tyler party Thus, the Democracy is not only
stored to life and renvgorated with added strength by
these miracle working prophets, but the Wing party
is, in its turn, talked out of existence.
As said before, would not refuse 10 our oppo
nents whatever qualification may be found in prophe-
ces like these, in the Wing msJorities they often
chronicle on board of steamboats, and railroad cars
or, the luminous wreck Of schooners, named "Jack
son" or EVAN Buren, These have been their
laon in many pas, years of adversely They may yet
be permitted to shed their balm of hope the fn,ure
that lies before the Wing party H6any .7nas.
THE PROSPECTS AHEAD.
Nothing more decslvely indicates The intrinsic weak
of the Wing cause, than their constant cslcula
tons of success upon the divisions OF the Republican
party. Every little pickering, although it does not
tend to half dozen persons which takes place among
the Republicans is paraded Infallible sign of APP
preaching The preferences which are indicated
for The several prominent candidates for The nomination.
are regarded certain indications of approaching
power. They calculate upon success, not upon the
intrinsic merits of their own policy, or the dement's
of that of their opponents; but upon the divisions OF
their adversarics about We feel the utmost con-
fdence that this calculation will fail the Wings, and
that in the next Presdenta election they Will find
themselves in NEST woiul minority 1t Is true, that
there is variety Of preferences FOR the Presidential
chair among the leading men of the Republican, party
and that the friends OF EACH press the claims OF their
favore with great ardor and pertinacIty 1t is, ALSO
true, that there who threaten TO become NAL
contents unless they carry their particular ia
vorte; ye, with all these difficulties in our way we
do not see that there any ground of hope for the
Wings Upon every question OF constitutional law,
md upon almost every question Of national policy,
there is great harmony and unanmity of sentiment
the great body of the Republican party, and we have
no idea that any number OF them will abandon
their principles for personal preference, and
take up Wing principles and policy, TO which they
are opposed out and out We cannot imagine 10
selves genuine Republican, who will abandon HE
principles and the best interests Of his country tor
mere pary personal preferences. Such man does
not deserve the name of Republican We may dis.
agree among ourselves, to our own men-we
may wrangle with great warmth and Talk loud; Out
when we come in contact with the enemy we shall
present an undivided front and nvinc Bile phalanx.-
We have preference, but yet II that be not the pre-
of tho majority of friends, IN the true spirit
of Re publicanism, we shall yield preference
and take up theirs We call upon all Republicans to
feel the same spirit, and be animated by the same
tnient and the victory will certainly be ours
We do not know that Wing friends are without
their difficulties about men-we are not certain that
there are no personal preferences among them which
may end in trouble and possibly rupture but be this
as 1t may, we DO not rely uron the divisions of the
Wing party for success bu, upon the justice of
cause the merits of principles, and the in
dom,able and nhexble spirit of the Republican party
Nothing for men-trery hing for The cause,
[Lynehburg Republican.
