With what does he hold political communion
With whom has he identified his political fortunes but with
John Tyler the who is lees Wing than any other in
America; who has proved fahless all his Wing profess

of the Wing party; who hates all Wings his heart and
vilihes them with his tonguel
And while he hugs his bosom the heartless migrate

Then, neither with respect men nor measures can
Mr.. Wise be justly considered a Wing.

Now, by this common standard, Mr.. Wise isany

IL IS because they relish his denuncaton Wing

who wall be always found striving hwar Achilles and
Agsmemnon and who will do the Wing party harm
than any they select from their own ranks. BY
the way, this nceeptabity of Mr. Wise the deadly

moment become inpracticabe, and finally deserted the Wing
party And hence want better proof Of Mr.. Wise's
apsiacy, than his arul assumption of the denomination
"Rspub!icsn Wing"
And this brings the last and after ALL the by
which would judge Mr.. Wise and all other men as
Whgs. He is Wing BY the standard Of 1910. Then
he threw aside all systems doctrna faith and was guild
ed and governed by one grand common obect-the de-
