Ms EpITOR:--A newspaper pubIshed al IA
pola Miss. (the Register think) alluded in its
last issue. 10 the payment Of the repudiaed bonds
bv The Wing Party or at least their pro rata
part of them, and in doing so, recommended, as
think. course altogether too charitable. Il ap-
proves Of the plan OF paying the bonds out OF
private purses, but proposes that both Demo
crats,and wings, favorable TO paying. be allowed
10 subscribe. Now, I h0Id the project ofmOring
ne members Of tis IgAig Party to tie payment Of
their pro rafa Parl Of the repuaiated bonds 10 Be
Dloinlv and entirely possible. But as for allow
ing I.ccofocos 10 participate, protest against it
ia toto cJeto as unfair uaeaIled for ana as displa
wing al entire want ofself respect andIndpeen-
derce. n is well known thatihe Whigs as par

7 Lgcof9c0s have carried the war into Africa and
stliyea by fair means, and foul. to batter down
/ the honest scrupIes Of The Wings. True you
nigh, often find Democrats Proiessedly opposed
to Reputation on principle, but did Hey erer
ro.s a-aias5 Reputation? "That's he que~-
iion." Occasionally, too, you nigh, find wings
who bewilCered for time by the arlful, and
plausible soDhisms o.L5coioco writer's, and ora
lors. were in favor IF Reputation, bui they
we're few, ana far between, and the most Of them
have long go returned to their ancient faith.
When we take these ,hingS into consideration, |
say II is uuf-ir and entirely too charitable 70 al
low even bond paying democrats to participate
with the whiss in The proposed scheme OF pay
Ing their pro-ra.a part ofthe repudiated claims
lam bold to assert that there was not one out OF
hundred democrats who prolessed the bond
paying creed, ever voted against RePudiation n
No; the bands Of party were by tar too strong to
/ be broken merely for a triding afHr OF pighled
ililh, aud sacred honor! Should they then b
allowed to asssstin this laudable under alling o
The wings to retrieve as tar as in their poweI
,ies the lost honor Of the State? Should they b
allowed to reap where they have not sown
: Should Locofocoi>rI be permitted 10 faint Wit
lis foul hands this fair work Of stale and nation
al redemption IA work proposed by wings, al
along advocated bY them, and in the end, even
bonI- paying Iocoioc5s are permitted 20 share =
The task, il will be almost wholly accomPlishe
By wings. Mo- Indeed, do not think the per
5 mission would be accepted, were the wings e
grant it. The bastard spirit Of American RePu
di7tion was bego.teu OF Locofocoisn: trust nc
that she will harm her ofspring Think n(

what Il has so often torn down. Its Tell spir

Ierthe wings, as a party, excluding all wh

~ ,rizc and resolve to pay their proportion Of q
dated deots, and theirs will be, as il OF riG
