Z But enough upon this subject. We
will briefly notice some of the assertions
contained in the proceedings of the wing
meeting, published to-day.
They inform US in their declarations

This important fact. we suppose, was 81

qndoah, as they are termed by the organ
of the federal party in this state.
After giving US learned dissertation
upon the science Of government. the yo-
cabulary of federal etiquette is brought
into requisition, and some of its most
choice epithets applied to the republican
PARTY. In their declaration they say,
after referring to the embarrassed state
of the country
J a plain man would naturally inquire, to
what cause are we to attribute the present
depressed condition of the country, below this
high state of prosperous national operation :
The answer is at hand and dare be given.-
