Wing and Van Barcu parties seems to rest here
Tie followers Of Van Buren, have constantly and
uniformly cndcivoured 10 centre power IN the hands
Of the Executive Hence they applaud the We
toes--,be establishment, OF the Sob.Treasury and
the claims Of the Presidrn, to overawe and direct
the Legislature.
The Wings on the other hand are in favor OF
diminishing snd regulating the patronage Of the
General Government and they agree IN the opin.
ion once expressed BY Van Buren himself but from
which he has 80 greatly departed tina, II may and
osgh 10 be diminished By law Gen. Harrison

and influence vested n the office Of President Of
the Union to abridye the power and influence OF
the Federal Government" This was good Wing
