TRUE WING POLICY.

JOHN P. KENNEDY, Of Baltimore, who
was elected upon the whig ticket a. the
late Congressional election in Maryland
in letter to committee in the city,
sets forth, in mastery style, the prin-
ciples for which the wing party are con-
tending The following extract from
his letter, sets forth briefly, the true
policy of the Wing party. It's worthy
the careful reading of every citizen who
has the true interests Of his country at
heart.-Aurord.

A YOUTHFUL AND UNFORTUNATE PAIR
In the Court Of Quarter Sessions, on Sat
urday, a case Of considerable interest
came up for consideration before Judge
Campbell. 1t was the application Of q
wife, who complained of being deserted
by her husband and prayed the Court tc
make an order, according to the act OF
Assembly in such cases made and proyi-
ded compelling him to afford her main.
tainance. Both the parties are what the
law considers infants, or persons under
the years of discretion, and in this in
stance, at least, the supposltion of the
law, was amply borne out by the fa,cs.
Itappeared by the testimony that the hus-
hand was employed in the family OF the
wife's mother at the age Of sixteen, as a
servant, and that the boy and girl were
permitted to play and be familiar with
each other without any danger being APP
pretended. The result, however, to the
establishment and dsmay Of the old peo-
pie, was the ushering into existence, in
about year alter the boy came to the
house, of third party, charming little
likeness of the two. The old saying that
"lapbs will playn had been forgotten by
the parents Of the girl, and when this
announcement, as serious as unexpected
took place, they set about repairing the
damage as far as lay in their power. But
it was not until the child was year. old
that the youngsters were persuaded into
a marriage; and from that time the hus-
band contributed portion of his very
small earnings to the support Of his wife
and child for about a month, when he be-
came tired Of the task In addition to
this, he was thrown out of employment,
or relinquished work for the purpose Of
going TO school, and paid no more atten-
lion to his family.
Itappears that the wife was disposedto
rest satisfied with this arrangement, until
'he heard that her boy was getting into
Dad habits, frequenting balls and theatres
Ind paying attention TO other females, at
which her jealousy was aroused. She

After the evidence had been concluded, {
Judge Campbell asked him what he had

hat he had no trade, had no work he was
apable ofdoing, and was going 10 school

mployment; also that he would not have
larried the, girl, had he not been forced

The Court however, did not recognize
