tanned, will only mako doubly sure It's
victory. The Wings have another ele-

Their victorious opponents will find il
utterly impossible To get through even
the first Of the four years of their power,
without fierce and bitter collisions. On
the Tariff, on Annexation, on nearly
every great measure Of public policy,
there exist, within themselves, the ma

tity. This will be the inevitable con-
sequence ofthe false and deceitlul poll
cy by which they have carried the cleo
ton. A party which has succeeded
only by the union Of the Free Trade
Nullifiers of South Carolina, with the
Tariff men Of Pennsylvania by the CO.
operation Of John C.. Calhoun and james
q. Birney, with their respective adhe-
rents, can scarcely expect to exercise
the power their dupIicily may acquire,
in harmony and peace.
The Wings have Only to preserve az
unbroken front, and all will yet be we'll
Let them, one and all, here and every
where, adhere firmly to their principles.
They have nothing to surrcnder-nolh-
ing to compromise. They constitute the
only AMERICAN party IN the Union. -
Their princi pies are thoroughly and IN
every respect American principles
Protection to American interests has
been, still is, and always will be, their
motto. The Labor, the Rights, the
Will Of the American people, must be
protected. While they demand such
Legislation as shall secure to the Ameri-
can people their own labor, and its ight-
lul and adequate recompense, they will
now demand, with equal earnesiness and
zeal, the protection Of The Ja!lo!-bor.-I
The American people constitute the
American government. Their wisheS,
cons,ltu'lonally expressed, constitute
American law. That it is which shapes
our National policy, foreign and domes-
tic ; which gives to Us whatever fame
and character we may at any time pos
scss.
Is there an American citizen, worthy
of tho name, who will not cordially unite
in the attempt to purify the process of
voting from all The abuses by which it,
has been perverted and made the tool
of selfish demagogues A.? Is there any
one who will not unite in an effort tC shut
out iraud--to con,inc the privilege of
voting to those who are, in interest and
in feeling, as well as in name and resi-
dence, American citizens { This has
become the duty, aud will, we doubt not,
form the purpose Of the Wings. They
prescribe no citizen they will, as they
ever have done, guard the rights OF eve
ry one with the most scrupuious care,
from encroach,nent in the least degree,
and from any quarter. They will lnsti.
tutc no inquiries into relig ious creeds,
and tolerate no Invasion Of rellgl
rights. But they will demand that
American citizens shall rule in America,
They will insist that something efectual
be done, to shut out and render impossl-
bic the stupendous frauds which have
too often been practised upon the ballot
box They will demand that citizenship
he made something besides the tool OF
jemagogues that those who Joy it,
privileges shall understand its duties and
feel the responsibilities which it imposes
They will appeal to the patriotism OF the
American people-to tha, feeling Of de-
votlon to his country, and OF pride In her
institutions, which every true American
will always cherish In short, they will
demand and obtain very material changes
ia our NArURALIzArIoN Laws, or their
entire repeal.
Standing upon this groune, animated
by these purposes, devoted to these
principles, and sustained by the coop
GRAFTON Of every intelligent and well dis
posed American citizen, the Wings
position Of which they may
well be proud. Far from being dismay
ed, or routed, by the defeat which has
attended their efforts, they will cling
with renewed courage TO their princl-
ples, and present n firm and unbroken
'front.' to the enemies of their country's
prosperity and greatness ss-N Y. COw.
