THE LAST OF THE WINGS.

THE LAST OF THE WINGS.
With the ina overthrow of Mr. Clay which will
take place 10 about fortnight, may chronicle the
termination Of the existence Of the spurious Wing
party. The name Of this modern party was assumed
merely as a mask there was not sentiment OF It's
founders in common with the genuine Wings of the
Revolution. The true Wings felt, and resisted 10
the death, the aggressions of naughty England the
false Wings of the present day. at least great many
Of the Wing leaders, the faithful advocates oil
British policy, and the RELENTLESS, foes of all who ad
here in good faith to the spirit Of the Declaration Of
Independence.
A treaty is made with the German Powers, by
which the chief products Of our farmers and plan
tsrs ara 10 he admitted into those countries almost
free Of duty. Britannia, aspiring TO be sole aro
tress Of the world objects 10 1T refusing TO become
patty TO tho treaty herself, she protests against
other nations enjoying the commercial and other ad-
vantsges Of such q convention; like the dog IN the
msnger she will neither eat herself, nor allow others
10 eat. She protests against the arrangement, and
calls upon the American Senate, through her minis
tsrial organs, to reject the treaty. The modern
Wings, having majority in the Senate, most hum
bly, and submissiveIy respond to the call. The trea-
" IL rejected. Thousands of industrious American
farmers and planters injured, deeply injured, to
IN ipcslcuIabIe extentbut Great Britain Is graifed
With Tho American Senate, or rather the Wing Sc.
nate 10 execute her decrees Britannia dictate to
the world and establish any kind of commercial
monopoly she may be graciousy pleased to fancy
The rejection Of the Treaty Of Annexation, was
another instance Of the subservieDcy OF the Wing
leaders to the policy Of Great Britain. That Gov
eminent desires first to ruin the producers of cotton
and sugar in the United States, BY cherishng hos
tile competition on borders; next, she desires to
ruin our commerce and manufactures, by transport
ing the raw material to market in British vessels,
from tho ripaI nation and by making Texas an
enormous depot, whence her manufactured articles
can be smuggled into the United States, and sold for
q lees price than the American manufacturer can af
ford to make them. Therefore the Tory members
Of Parliament, and the Tory presses, call upon the
Wing Senators to reject the Texas treaty. 1t is
done. Modern Whggery is obedent to British
monarchy.
And 10 with the debts of the States. John Quincy
Adams has even gone so far as to threaten the in
domitabe People of the West, with British chasse-
meut, If the debts were not only assumed, but paid
And to crafty the British arisocracy 10 this matter
also, we see many Of the leading Wings advocating
the assumption of the debts of the States.
The grasping, murderous conquests of Great
Britain in India and China, are applauded in the
American Congress by leading Wings. In short
no opportunity has been omitted by the modern
whigs to prove their devotion to British policy and
British interests in derogaon of the interests of their
own countrymen.
But Mr.. Clay is the last of the Wings, and his end
il nigh at hand. Indeed he seems to have had pre-
sentiment Of his approaching political demise, if we
may Judge from his CONSERVATION lately, o'ineod
by his incoherent acts and desperate shifts he was
first opposed 10 the tariff OF 1912, because resident
Tyler would not sanction Distribution; and all his
immediate Wing partisans in Congress voted against
tho bill A year afterwards he was in favor OF the
tariff, and abandoned his Compromise principle
This lost him friends of the S~ulh, and be never did

Alas, disappointed mani All these spasmodic va |
citations, but the last dying Aounderings Of the
wsthooked fish. They convince rejecting men
that the Wing candidate himself entertsns no hope.
The precursor Of success is nvincible steadiness

his partisans, an opportunity Of forming more agree
