The wings have been laid up in pickle
By the friends Of Andrew II Mckle.
We have carried the whole city by large majority
-'horse, foot, and Dragons" Wings and natives
have all been Aoored most quietly, beautifully, and
arc "hOrs de eOu.bai" The Tribune is full Of lamen
tation. 1t cried aloud, and tried 10 raise "sprits
from the Vastly deep" but they came not. The
sun rose on democratic city, and set on new tn
umph Of their principles. The people tell the same
| story. They want he sub-treasury the warehous-
ing system, branch minis, and revenue tariff, and
thew will prevail. All hail to the democracy Of the
empire city They have elected their excellent can
didate tor mayor, they have made a clean sweep Of
all the wards in the city, save and except two or
three wards out Of eighteen. Two (he Sd and 18th
are old federal wards, by aid Of which the federal
ISIS return four members Of the common council
a body composed OF &c members. A joint ballot
will stand thus:

Thus will do The natives claim member from
the 18th ward, according TO the Commercial, proba
bly, a mistake. We have received confirmation Of
our complete success in Connecticut. Who sha
doubt the progress of democracy is not onward
The federal SITS have wonderful mack Of reward
ing their leaders with large grants Of money. MIR
Clay, not long since, had note discharged by con-
tribntion, of $40 900 in amount. He, besides, has
received valuable presents in silver plate, and in
other things, presented by people who have made
| money freely by his american system" They
say money which comes light, goes light" Mr.
Bddle Il mention his name with no disrespect) re.
| ceived 800 900 worth Of plate on the day he gave
up the rens of broken bank Mr.. Webster, II
report be true, has shared most largely in the boun
ty Of his federal friends A wing leader would seem
TO be fortunate man in the receipt Of money and
other presents. Compare the fate of leading demo.
with leading federalists. Look at the fate OF
Thomas Jefferson, one Of the principal founders OF
this democratic goveInment-the head and chief OF
the democratic party, whose whole life was spent
in the service Of hiscounry; yet we find him, in his
old age poor and reduced to shifts to live on
his farm at Monticello, without being forced to
yield it for debt No friends came forward with
large sums of money to redeem him from debt
| The venerable patriot uttered no complaint. He
made no appeal to the government for add he still
trusted in the people. Considering all the great
sacrifices he had made for his country Just and
proper, and died, as he had lived, a sterling demo-
crat, and an unwavering friend Of the people. Con-
slider Nathaniel Macon, "the ultimum Romanorum'--
the Aris,ides of democracy. Though poor, yet
contented to live on small means, would have ut
terly scorned the offer of money from democratic
| friends A man so bold as to offer him
money, would never after have been considered
| his friend. Again: we come to General jackson,
who headed democrats in the field, and President
the United States; yet, for twenty-nne years the
government refused to refund him fine, to which he
had been subjected unjustly, while in the mpera-
tive discharge of his military duties The best
evidence of true patriotism is afforded by those per-
sons, who are willing to devote themselves to the
service of their country for such emolumens as the
constitution adopted by the peope,) has provided.
The highest reward as well as honor lies in faith
fully discharging official duties entrusted to their
hands by confding people, who will never cease
to cherish and love the memory Of such as honestly
devote themselves to their country's good. ..
Eight dollars per day, and eight do lars for every
twenty miles of travel, may appear like small pay
but, those who are its recipients, should remember
that thousands upon thousands of their ellowciti-
zens toll at the anvil, or in the fields from morning
till night, to raise by their labor to sustain
the government; yet get only, from 81 to ~ per
day, while a great many receive less That pub
lie servant has discharged his duty WE'LL was doing
no more than the people had right to expect
| And on leaving Office he has no other pecuniary
claims upon them than he has already received in
full under the constitution For officer to expect
it, or for the people to give it, amounts to venality
| Did my limits permit, would allude to the at
tempt being made in the guise of "a national fair
at Washington, to control the votes of Congress by
the money power, against the adoption Of revenue
tariff and also further to particularze the report OF
a committee Of the New York Chamber Of Com
| merce, whose memorial will soon be placed before
Congress; but, must postpone them till to-mor-
row. .
The wings have a small crumb of comfort Left as
they have carried Brooklyn, and Albany. The lat
ter was wing before. In Newark, New Jersey,
and in Paterson, the democrats seem to have come
out on the strong side.
