THE "PIEBALD PARITY

] For many years past our Loco Foco
friends have characterized the Wings as
"piebald party "a party composed OF
politicians OF all crecds and all shade and
hues Of creeds. For a long time our
neighbor Of the Richmond Enquirer could
not ndite an article without referring to
the "pIebald Wings" The words were
so constantly used, that many persons be-
lleyed that the type in which they were
set were never " distributed" but kept as
a part Of the standing matter" Of the
Enquirer Office. Latterly, however, the
Enquirer seems 10 have abandoned the use
otthls once fayonte expression. We hear
nothing from him now days, about I" pie.
bald parties" What has produced the
change Is there no piebald party in the
Country : Unhappily for him, there is,
and HE is one Of the leaders Of it. If
the Wings ever wore a motley suit, they
have transferred 1t to the Locos. Wing
colors are now uniform, PLAN and lasting,
while the Locos strut about in suit which
yles with the Rainbow in its variety Of
colors ard shades, and which throws patch.

ELECTION OF PRESIDENT BY THE
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Since the elections ia Tennessee, Geor-
Ola, Mary land, Pennsylvania and Ohio, we
see more frequent intimatioI.s in the Lo-
coioco press, of an attempt 10 take the
Presidential election from the people, and
transfer it TO the House Of Representa-
tives. An Alabama print, which supports
Mr.. Calhoun, has avowed its willingness
to see the election made by the House.-
The Richmond Enquirer has charged Mr..
Calhoun's friends with desiring The result,
and laboring to produce it. On the other
hand, Mr.. Van Buren,, despalrIng Of unity
in his party, is well understood TO be ac-
lively engaged in making friends with the
new Congress, preparatory to an election.
The Frankfort (hy.) leoman, which is
ostenSbly for Col johnson, but in reality
for Van Buren,, has put forth the following :
We can run all Of our candidates, and
then keep Mr.. Clay out of the House in
Congress, where he would have no chance
at any rate. In fact, if we wished to make
our success perfectly certain, We could not
do better than run Democratic electoral
ticket in every State. This would bring
the election before the House, where We
shall have about 20 States out Of the 26.'
This is pretty frank, certainly. But
the praciicabiIity of it, is another thing.
When these pure Democrats set fairly 10
work to cheat the dear people of a voice
in the election, by means of /" d0lble-shOt
ted Hckcfs, Il may 50 happen, that the
cheater VII get cheated. They VIII at
least agree with us, that the result of such
an experiment, is somewhat hazardous. =

The Journal of Commerce asserted a
few eags since, that the consumers Of Lin.
seed Oil, were taxed %, or even 30 cents
a gallon on all they used. Had they gone
"a little into the facts Of the case, they
might with truth demonstrated the case to
be almost directly the reverse, for instead
OF paying tax of twenty-five cents, they
absoIute save seventeen cents on each
gallon. If the editors of the Journal OF
Commerce will turn back to their files OF
ls42 when the compromise act was about
to expire, they will find the duty at that
time 10 have been III cents gallon
BY the new Tariff the duty is fixed at %
cents; from that time to the present the
article has declined TO It's present price Of
IS cents, and even below this rate sales
have been made. The duty was then
lower than it had been for twenty years,
aud still prices were higher; now tho du-
ty IS higher and the price lower, Just re-
version of things.
The truth is, that the Tariff has Induced
manufacturers to 20 extensively into the
business, and the competition is such, that
the article IS brought down to the lowest
