VICTORY TO THE WINGS OF THE
UNION

We are GLAD to have the opinion of Ii,
n. Y. Courier and Enquirer in corrooora
ton of our confidence in The present strength
and prospective success of The Wing part,
for the Presidency should not succeed al III,
ensuing Presidential Elections against an,
candidate whom the Locotoco party ma,
set up. Our confidence in the result does moi
res; upon any supposition of dissention a
mong our opponents, nor upon any calcula-
ton of division of their strength among
different candidates We take it for granted
that they will find means 10 concentrate all
their forces upon one candidate. 1t is only
the Wings that loose e sGIions by throwing
away their votes. Fortunately for the
chance OF their success, there is no more
probability of their committing such blum.
der IN the great contest which is -" come
off the National Course next year, than
there is oftheir opponents doing so. Both
parties will bring out all their strength; and
man TO man. and hand TO hand, the Wing
party, united 10 earnest, cannot but win the
day.
Noticing our remark that we do not notc
doubt and we never hare doubted of this re-
suit, the Courier and the Enquirer express
es itself as follows:
Neither have we doubted as 10 the
strength ofthe W..ig party, nor do we doubt
now any more than our respectable conlem-
porary at Washington that il is at this mo-
men'. stronger than il was four years ago.
and we have the same reasons for our faith
that are urged by thu lntelligencer. We
are as strong as when we proved our
strength overwhelming in the electicn of
Gen. Harrison, and if there has been an
apparent falling off in our force since the
disastrous dispensation of Gods provi.
dence in permitting Mr.. John Tyler to take
the place of the good man selected by the
People for the first place in the Government
1t has only been apparent. Wing opinion
has by no means changed, nor has the MIN. :
Der of those who entertained it diminished. &.
The faith is still in the vigor of its first
formation, and its followers just as stead.
fast in their adherence 10 it. There has
been rothiug TO be gained by going TO the
polls for the purpose of showing oursirengih
for great national calamity had neutral
lied our power of acting with any effect-a
traitor had trammelled US at every point,
and rendered all exerlions useless. We
have been obliged to submit TO the fate that
has awaited US, and TO forego all prospect of
relieving the country from its calamities
till time should release US of the incubus
which is temporarily prostrating all our en-
argies. The time. however. is fast approach
ing when we shall be relieved from politi.
cal nightmare. and all we have to do in the
interim is 10 keep our ranks closed, and
preserve our organization. As soon as the
period arrives for US TO act, there need to
be no fear for the result"

As the election approaches we desire to
refresh the recollection of the PEOPLE
with specimens of the beautiful doctrines
which the Loco Focos support. The follow
ing Is an extract from speech of X. ID. DA-
Wis, one of the leading Loco Foco members
of Congress from the state of New York,
delivered in the House of Representatives
while the Tariff was under discussion last
summer. Read it farmers.

"hes) should Ne abolished all paper mon
''ey should be excluded and the credit sys.
stem should be purified and renovated by the
'abOlition of every thing like suits for debt,

In the same discussion JAMES I. ROOSEVELT,
a Loco Foco member from New York city,
and son in law of G. p. Van Ness, said
"He trusted even ifthe tariff bill became
ga law at this session, it would be shoit lived;
"that the next Congress would be a Demo-
"cratic, free trade Congress, which would
"repeal the BILL"
Next we present a paragraph from n
