In amblins along our political journey, il is
pleasan, occasionally to look hack upon the road
we have passed over. Many gay flower blows
where no bud appeared before. We hurry along
so rapidly in our career, as scarcely 10 no'e lhe
objects around us-we overlook many Oh Tue
BEAUTIES that would otherwise strike US as wor'ny
OF more than ordinary attention. Inns ls true %

cable 10 the beauties which lie concealed In any
file Of The Richmond Wing. 1t requires 'iine

IN among The flowers of their green house assist
IN making il beautiful and recherche. IL IS agree

flower Inconsistency" and are known by lheit
nassionate fondness for its fruit They estimate

IN This Con.ederacv Mr. Polk has pronounced

The Wing. 10 ialsify its own predictions, has
pronounced possim that Mr. P TX has not Guilt

Of consistency:
"Mr. Folks Administration will be Wing in

Then \ few weeks afterwards, another flower
blooms on the same SEN:

One would suppose, from these two para
graphs, that General Jackson was The great EN-
hodyment OF Wing measures: that he was
