They are merely admonitlons to the lawless and
disorderly TO be in readiness. And nothing shows
more clearly the existence Of the panic than this
talk about physical force in the whiglorgans We
trust, however, that the virtuous and respectable
friends of our republican institutions will unite tor
the purpose of preventing any scenes OF violence
at the polls, and the country from being
again associated in all the journals of Europe with
the outrages of a mob.
Not only do these hints about fraud and physical
force indicate the existence of the growing panic
in the wing ranks, but the tactics Of agitation
adopted by the organs OF that party very strikingly
| demonstrate the same fact, and their conscious
ness Of the necessity Of the introduction of some
new themes of popular excitement, in order to
ate little additional buoyancy Of spirit in the camp
During the last week there had been lukewarmness
in the Wing press, which but strongly indicates
the parayzed condition of the internal fabric Of that
party. Now, however, it seems that little cour-
age has been plucked up, and new movement
made of character different from any of the re-
cent attempts to create an excitement the old
issues in the contest. The controversy the
Tariff has degenerated into the grossest absurdties
and imhecility, having ended in miserable discus
sions about cottons and needles, and the price of
Then the discussion on the Texas question, coupled
with the letters of Mr.. Clay and the speeches of
Webster, Seward and others. has tended only to
give strength, force and momentum to the Adolf
ton party, and thereby to abstract large portion
oil the Wings from the support of Mr.. Clay. A Ma
tional Bank is unpopular topic here, where all
the monied men are opposed to any such institu-
ton, and it has been brought very little into play

SO that scarce vestage OF them remains that can
be brought to bear upon the popular mind.
What then is now the great theme of the wing
leaders and editors? During the last few days we
have seen the columns of the wing journals teem-
ing with long stories about the importation of Bri-
fish gold into this country, in order to aid in
rying the election in favor of Mr.. Polk and free
trade; and long quotations are made from English
journals exhibiting subscription lists for the publ
cation of pamphlets in England, on the continent.
and in this country, in favor of low duties Well,
to attribute to the English manufactures desire Of
increasing the trade between the two countries, is
very natural That the manufacturers, both OF
France and England, would be very much reoiced
at the success Of any party in this country,
by whose legislative action the foreign trade
would be augmented, and larger import made,
is very reasonable. and probably they might
do something to produce such consumma-
ton If they knew how. But even admitting the
existence OF such project, which we consider
doubtful in the extreme-two-third imagination
and third perverted fact-we doubt whether it
could have any effect this country land the eager
ness with which the opinion is expressed, and the
use made OF it, only show the prevalence and pow
er of the panic which exists in the wing party.
Every who is not blinded by fear must see
that to the British government the election of Mr..
Clay, and the triumph OF party opposed to the
Texas question, would be more desirable than the
success of Mr.. Polk and annexation. If the Bri-
tsh government could have their wishes reali-
zed in this election, we have no doubt that
the great interests of England, from the high
est TO the lowest, would see President and Con-
gress elected that would reject the annexation Of
Texas, and let the Oregon question sleep the sleep
of death, than any other party now before the
country. Great Britain has greater interest a
nation in curtailing the dimensions Of this great
republic and diminishing the influence of its insti
tuons and its principles than in any augmentation
of mportatlons to the amount OF twenty, thirty, or
forty millions year. But we do not believe that
the British government, or the British interests Of
any kind, care one pin which party is uppermost in
this country whilst they presented in the reign
ofeither lrty with the spectacle Of Republican 60
vernment successful. II they could create revolu-
ton or disunion, or set in motion any spirit by
which the incapabilitv of man for self-governmen,
could be proved by facts, that they would do that
they would move heaven and earth to accomplish.
But certainly the silly assertions as to the wishes
and projects OF the British government, put forth
by the locofoco press and those Of British manu-
facurers put forth by the Wing press, we regard
alike ridiculous and absurd they are mere ma
neuvres of little politicians without the mind to
grasp the strong points Of human nature, the ca
pacity to understand the very men whom they wish
to influence.
The Wing press and the Wing leaders in this
part of the country, are in perilous condition
If they do not mend their course and alter their
policy in all its essential features, they will be
Frustrated by the enthusasm-the numbers, and
the better tactics of the ocofocos before they know
where they are.
TEMPEST IN A TEA Por.-We understand that
young Captain Tyler, who is here now, and made
speech the other night at Tammany Hail. is in
very great distress Of body and mind because he
was not reported fully in some Of the papers In
revenge orithis slight put upon him by the "rascal-
lyreporters,' as he POLITICALLY calls them, he has
determined to report himself at full length and no.

This is certainly his best remedy. This is accord
ing to the usage at Washington. All those frothy
fatulen, gaseous, sound-and-fury speeches, which
are not worth paper and ink, are reported by the
orators themselves.
The truth is, Captain Bob has been too much re-
ported of late. His speeches are all as like each
