THE RfsuLrs-WHlG DUrY.-The smoke Of the
battle is clearing away, and we may now begin TO
see where are, and think Of what we have to do.
Regrets of defeat are useless Nor should they
be indulged in. For what, indeed, have 10 re-
gret? Wigs hare done Mlir duty We had
good cause, and good men 10 represent il, and we
defended both with enthusiasm, decision and ability

is the history Of the country; and whoever reads
that rightly, hereafter, will ever cherish and
love THU MAN kindred with the best and greatest
Of this, or any age. Defeat could not detract FROM
any more than Office add 10, his fame. Sofar, then
as he is individually concerned, we have no cause
OF SORROW
"But there is The country" adds ano'her-"to
that we look-of that we think" Well said
To that we should look of that think -snd if
dangers thicken around it in consequence of the re-
cent defeat of the Wing Party, we are called upon
10 summon forth best energies in its defence
We know as al know, rom history and experience,
that the action of bad Ordesieng men is wary in the
extreme, and thar unless they trench upon per-
sonoi safety or pyal. interest, the people do not
hear their nui>e!ess football until involved in peril
That is our case now. For years past these men
under one plausbl pretexi and another have been
Increasing IN strength, until at last, through The
expressed will of a credulous and confding people
they have been invested with the power of the ma
tiol: and W laf is worse, avow their purpose TO

look to the country, and think of the country the
more will they be resolved 10 cling together and to

For our part, deeply as we lsment our def.at,

il and felt, who can donbt that redress Will oe
demanded and obtained? There never was time
vet when the natioaaiity OF the American people
was appealed 10 in vain, and the appeal 10 be made
TO them now on these grounds by Wings, and on
Wing principles, will be heard and answered.
Ii there be cause for anxiety and alarm, there is
none for fear or lukewarmness. From this time
forword everv American, who thinks as think,
should do his fall share in the coming contest. We
advise 10 contracied-no partizan action; there
has been already too much of that on all sides;-
but we do advise resolute determination neither
10 yield TO triumphant foe, nor yet TO cease eur
endeavors 10 uphold whatever may strengthen and
psrpeuate the Union as It Is, and the principles OF
that Union. For this end we want bold, but wise
action. Parties heretofore have been SO nicely
danced, that men have been half afraid to speak
above their breath, lest even foreigners should be
offended, or this, or that silly prejudice shocked
there should be no more of this let who may CON-
plain our first and last thought should be-our
that country's real good may require, Give us
this spirit; let the people feel and be animated by
these sentiments and principles; and the causes
which have produced our defeat, as we'll as the
creators of them, will be scattered like chaf before
the storm.
Courage, then, and hope ALI is not lost. Only
let Wings stand by their principles and abate not
a lot in their defence, and we shall yet save the
country. lClncinnatl Oazette'
