by the voluntary retirement of MANY Of

yet to hear from.
For ourselves, we have not the least
doubt that THE WING PARTY is at this mo-
ment stronger tina it was four years ago;
more powerful because more united and
compacted; and better prepared than it
ever has been for conflict with its adversa-
ries, because animated by the double mo-

sustained, and accomplishing good for the
country. We look forward then, with

Let us for moment retrace in memory
the doctrines and practices which went to
make up "the Jacksoniln policy" Let us
remember
The extravaganza of the public expendi-
lures;
The struggle of the Executive with the
People to obtain perpetual control of the
public money which il had already iIle-
gay seized;
The doctrine that the public offices are
the property of a party, and that every
man is an enemy Of the country who
is not a vassal of the President;
The assumption that the President is bound
TO obey The Constitution and the Laws

The claim of the Executive to originate as

The forestalng Of Legislation by Execu.

The defeating Legislation by sitting acts
of Congress- after they have passed;
The encouragement, and cultivation of an
agrarian and anarchica spirit;
The attempt, by new organization Of the
Militia, TO erect a Standing Army Of two
