THE RESULT OF WIG PRINCI-
PIES.

Nothing sooner attracts the eye of the trav-

ing emporium than The march of business OPP
eratious, caused by tie puttinsin practice the
cardinal principles and measures of the wing
party. Go where you within the city or
along the great lines of travel-every thing
bears evidence of the string character of the
times. and attests the wisdom of those who
framed that policy which, from its compre-
hensivencss. has been called the AMERICAN
SYSTEM. Boston is at this time going ahead
with an impetus greater than that oiauy Attain
tic city. With advantages always considered
less favorable than those enjoyed by New
York and no greater, if equal, 10 those of
Philadelphia, sill the New England capital is
rapidly increasing. and bids fair to rival, il not
ouistrip, even the great city of the Empire
State. Although much of this thrift is to be
attributed TO the machlcss enterprise of the
merchants of Boston. still it is the union of
enterprise and capital. and, above all, the
WING MEASURES now in operation,
which, beyond any other cause. is carrying
that CITY ahead with such rapid strides, and
with it our New England.

present prosperity of the country. Mr.. Polk

which. nevertheless, like the wand of an en-

The Wing party is already so closely asso-

has been derided and booted at as the protect
