NEW W0pKS

Our friends, Randolph & Co., have kindly s4r,

which is highly commended BY competent ndpc,
and seems admirably arranged. Fortunately our
Democratic orators have no need OF this book
they have ably and thoroughly explained the
questions of The day. and have obtained most
successful verdic,-But the Wing orators and
editors should al once possess themselves of this
useful work. Their premises and their c0ncl,5si0ns
were wretchedly di>cordant and unrhelorical--
aud the result OF the election proved conclusively
that their facts did not al all sustain their broad
and bold assertions. They have thus failed in
the most important quality of speaker and
writer; that OF expressing clearly and strongly
the topics under discussion. They should there
fore, betakc themselves to the charms OF Rhetoric
and Logic. To the same source We are indebted
for the first three books OF Homers lliad with cri-
teal and explanatory notes, glos>aries, illuslra-
tons, &c. by Charles Anlhon. The facilities of.

WING PRESCRIPTION

We fell we'll assured that The extravagant arti-
Gle in Tuesdays Wing, calling upon the Wings
10 sacrifice their fellow-citlzens on account OF
their political opinions, would meet with no favor
from its Wing cunpeer OF the Compiler. That
article was SO palpably illitera and "dcspoiic'
towards the Democrats, So unjust 10 the Wings
themselves, and SO fatal 10 all the interests and
classes Of society in our community, that we
looked for Just such :. rcbuke on the course oflhe
Wing, AZ will b. found below, extracted from
Yesterdays Conper This latter journal has
borne itself with propriety under It's defeat, as
we have already declared. Ii has not, like the
Wing, gone fuil-,it against the expression OF
the popular sentiment as having been produced

as the vote of Virginia concerned il has, I'M
like tie Wing done justice 10 The honor, the virtue

has not, like the Wing, charged that Col. Polk
was elected "by The voles of the Aboliiionists'-
il has not attacked the whole Catholic population
OF the United States for having voted "as a
body" for The Democratic ticket, when il is well
known, and admitted by the Wing ITSELF that here
many OF the Catholics voted Tor Mr.. Clay
as citizens ana when the Northern papers
state thatthe same course has been pursued else

ed has not evelled lis daily shafts at the head oil
a Presbyterian Clergyman, whose sole offence is,
that hs had The frmness and independence To
vote according 10 the solemn convictions of his
conscience, though standing alone in this Gil
braliar of Whiggery.' The Compiler has not,
in direct contradiction TO the formal resolve oflhe
Richmond Clay Club, made fierce onslaught on
The naturalized citizens and called out for a
change of the naturalization laws. The Compi-
Ter has done none of these things. II has borne
defeat with becoming moderation, and has wisely
pledged itself not rashly TO condemn The new Ad-
ministralion, but 10 Judge the tree BY its fruits
For this just and liberal course, the Compiler has
won the confidence ofits friends, and received the
respect of its political opponents We, therefore,
think tjust not only 10 the Democrats, but TO the
Wing party here, 10 repubish the structures the
Compiler. We are satisfied that, with the excep-
tion, perhaps, Of small Clique the language OF
The Compiler expresses the true sentiments of this
Wing community. 1t is from no hope Of per-
sonal or political benefit that we call in the aid
of the Compiler TO corroborale our views. It is
