THE WING PARTY.

The New York Journal of Commerce has a
correspondent at Washington who writes many
good things and some queer things. For in.
stance in recent letter all against the wings, it
has the following singular paragraph:
= BUT stll, as body, what do the wings not
control What is there in morals, in literature,
in social life, in finance, in commerce, in every
important avocation in life, that they do not con-
troll They alone hold the keys to society,"
They alone can give social rank. They control
public taste; they preside over institutions for
education; they guard all the crevices to profess
sional success; they have almost the exclusive
sway over religious associations; they engross
the capital and the talent, and the business OF
the nation. Surely, all This ought 10 be glory e.
aough for tie Whig party, ,oitbout any share an
The pohticai control of the nation.
What conclusion9 A party possessed, as
this writer says, Of the noblest attributes imagi-
nable, yet ought not to have any political control
of the nation Excellent IN o. Iropic.
