We carry II a. all Go among your neighbors. Let the
Clay Clubs and the wings generally be working and
let every one take his responsibilities upon his own con-
motto millions are behind us" Yes, along the dark
vista OF future time unborn generations coming along
IN their day to stand where We now stand There are
millions upon millions who will hereafter review eur
conduct aud give their Reproduction or appreciation TO our
policy We stand them in the Judgment OF all those mil
lions coming behind Let us then play the man-let
do duty irvolously but sobery and soemnly
leave you with the most ervent pray that you may
all do duty by the blessing Of God intend to do
mine.
Now do we err in entertaining the candid and
impartial opinion that by this speech Mr. Webster
has placed the wing prospects in still more per.
picking and uncertain state than ever? We think
not We still understand Mr.. Clay's letter, as the
people understood it when it was laid before them
And SO we must understand it, untilMr. Clay him
self endorses the Interpretation put upon it by Mr..
Webster We must continue to regard Mr.. Clay
as he himself has declared, personally in favor Of
annexation. And the only effect produced on our
mind by this elaborate and ingenious commentary
of Mr.. Webster, is an increased conviction Of the
serious danger to be apprehended from The dlsu-
MON amongsi the wing leaders with aspect TO
Texas. and the unwise, the obstinately unwise
and injudicious manner in which the canvass for
Mr.. Clay has been conducted by his professed
friends and advocates at the north. So that after
all, this great display of wing strength and whg
eloquence on Boston Common, inst cad OF being
calculated to inspire new hope aad confidence
into the dropping hearts Of the adierent OF Mr..
Clay, is rather calculated to add TO their uneasi-
ness and render more gloomy than ever the pros
poets of the future.
great, and it may be fatal error, has, indeed,
been committed by the wing leaders, orators, and
newspaper organs in this region OF the country
There can be but little doubt, in opinion, that
the abolition vote will be this year greatly beyond
precedent. 1t is lost, rretrevably, to the wings
The panic in the wI,ig ranks is increasing daily.
The buoyancy of SPIRIT and the enthusiastic vigor
displayed at the commencement of the campaign,
appear to have departed II is now found to be very
difficult to command good supply Of the " sinews
of war" And, as is uniformly the case, the evil
dences OF lukewarmness and failing energy in the
whig ranks, are adding immensely to the enthusi-
asm, vigor, and strenuous effort of the locofocos.
No doubt there will be some il-natured a,ad wick
ed enough to nsinuate, that the short extract from
recent flaming speech of wing orator on pre-
senting banner to wing club in this city, which
we have preixed to this article, is susceptible of

Of the case, would we be justified in visiting with
very severe rebuke even such an insinuation =

The DEcENcY OF THE NEw REFORM PARTY
The organ of Messrs Harper u Co. is very reso-
lutey bent convincing the people of this city Of
it's indecency and vulgarity, forcNby the par
ty have convinced them of their utter faithess-
ness and ineffciency. Messrs. Harper IL Co.
have given us every possible demonstration, that
when they prsmi ed to give us police reform, they
never intended to give us any such thing-that
when they promised to cleanse the streets, they
meant to keep them as filthy as eveI-that when
they swore they would'reduce the taxes, they in
tended to increase them to the extent of nearly a
quarter of million Of dollars. All this they have
demonstrated to the perfect satisfaction of every
body.
Having in this highly satisfactory manner shown
that in faithlessness to promlses-in neglect of
great public Of pressing and urgent
si,y-and in unparalleled effrontery in the mposl-
ton of immensely augmented taxes, they are capa-
bic of far surprising any of their corrupt and ty-
rannical predecessors in office. These REFORM
ers," these sanity men, these paragons of modes
ty, virtue and patriotism, are now engaged with
great zeal, activity and success, in showing the
community that in vulganty, scurriliy abuse, per.
sonaity and impertnence, they can also infinitely
transcend the efforts Of any officials that have
ever betrayed the solemn and responsible trust
confded to them by the generous people OF this
city We gave some specimens, the other day, OF
the language employed by the organ of Mayor Har-
per and his associates; and yesterday we find
another column of similar abusive, scurrilous, and
incorporate personalities, In that print "Bestle-
headed editor Of the Herald Sc hog" scent
ing out flth''-"with animal propensites, beas,ly
desires, quadruped tastes" crawled his Shiny
way''-s'a bandit"-"ricketty lncoherent re-hash''
-"Bennetts tottering concern"-sshis idiotic pro-
ceedings''-" like a knavsh fsh-vender"-s'h
abominable stench''-these, and similar elegant
phrases, make up the staple of the articles with
which the organ of Messrs Harper IL Co. is filled
from day to day.
Itsreally more in sorrow than in anger that we
hold up the poor, scurrilous print, which acts as
the organ Of the present corporation, to the con-
tempt OF respectable and decent men, The public
very well recollect the efforts expended IN order
to obtain for this party chance of redeeming their
pledges. And even after they had been installed
into office, and their hardness in making even an
attempt for decency's sake Of fulfilling their pro-
Misses led us to anticipate the utter faithlessness
since exhibited, we still endeavored to avert pub
lie Indignation, in order that perchancs they might
after all endeavor to discharge their duty to
extent. But it Is now clear that we have nothing
to hope from this party. Their faithlessness, cor
ruption, and effrontery, are beyond any thing we
have yet seen in any other party. We can now only
patiently await, with deluded and insu,ed CON-
munity, the day which will visit upon these faith
less servants just and crushing retribution.
WAR IN EuRoPE.-Some of the papers are say
ing that Louis Philippe holds the keys Of peace
and war in Europe. We doubt this very much.
We rather think that the President of the United
States, or the "King OF the Yankee Doodles," as
