ried out by the present Administration, that had mol
been an act of disgrace or disaster Whether these
things had been the result of wilful blindness OF
not, he should always believe. hat the present ru-
lers OF this great Republic were not competent TO
the administration Of the affairs and interests of the
country What was the remedy? 1t was in our
own hands. There was nothing to make us des-
pair OF the Republic. But we should endeayor,
with harmonious and energetic action, TO restore
that short-lived happiness and prosperity which
were felt IN every part of the country when the
Wings were in power.
There were many citizens of other parties who
were painting 10 enrol themselves under Wing
banners, seeing, as they did, how the interests in
which they were concerned had been sacrificed.
And these newly found friends, if they did not at
first choose to call themselves Democratic Wings,
why, let them call themselves Whig-Democrats
We were, as it was well known, but few months
past, by mere party violence, nearly forced into an
absurd war with Great Britain. We should then
have had two wars upon our hands at once. No
thing was spoken of by the opposite party then,
but Oregon and 81 49," Not a child was born
but il was thought whether or not it should be
named 81 40. And in one resolution, calculated TO
produce pacific result, even the word I" AMIGA
BILE was stricken out. And yet, in less than eight
and forty hours, they all, except forty-one men,
came into measures of peace Thus were secured
the blessings we now enjoy The war with Mex
leo was war brought about by the action of the
Administration alone: and, had it not been for the
gallant spirits of our little army, and for Wing
Commander-in-chief, the results might have been
very different.
The Subtreasury! What was it! Thanks TO
the Mexican war, the money had been shaken from
the tree like ripe fruits and the dragons of theSub-
treasury were watching only the lea6ess and with
cred limbs and branches. Then, what had been the
action OF the Administration with regard to public
Improvements Indeed, the present President Of
the United States had taken ground so disastrous,
so calamtous. so overwhelming, that it was impos-
sbe, except by electHg two-thirds Of the Congress
Wings, to repair the injuries But the last and most
fatal act the destruction Of the protective poll
cy. When the Secretary Of the Treasury told the
Democracy of the country that the ad vaorem du-
ties must prevail, that discrimination in favor oil
manufactures could not be made, Pennsylvania in
terests were sacrificed.
The assembly, from first to last, says the Inqui-
rer, formed most gratifying and imposing demon
stration Of popular opinion. Every Wing pre-
sent-and, we repeat there were thousands in at
tendance-must have been delighted. The view
from the speakers platform was, indeed, exciting.
Such an immense mass of human beings, all har-
monzing together in feeling and in principle all
advocating HOME INDUSTRY !. all responding to
the sentiments of the speakers; all Wings, good
and true, and devoted to the best interests of the
country

There is Of course no election of Governor by
the people. The complexion Of the Legislature is
still in some doubt. The Wings will probably have
small majority in the House, and the chances are
that they will also have the Senate.
In the first Congressional district, lannon's (Lo-
COY is probably elected in the third, BELcHER
(Whig) In the others it is believed there has been
no election.
