WHIG ORGANIZATION.

WHIG ORGANIZATION.
The "UnIOn" stated on Tuesday evening, upon
respectable authority of the particulars OF the
whig organization which the whg members of Con
gress had put into operation before they adjourned
We have patiently waited for some contradiction
some explanation from their organ in this city. But
IT gives outn word upon the subject. The "Na'
tional lntelligencer" continues mute. "Sleace gives
consent" We are then to infer that our statements
are correct because they are not contradicted. In
fact, we have since heard them confirmed from other
quarters. The whig machinery is in active motion.
A whig member of Congress from Pennsylvania,
one of the committee, is now in Washington, frank
ing away the speeches, which have been printed for
circulation, and pouring them upon his own State.
Among the other combinations we have received
Of the accuracy Of our statement, we have the fol-
loving note Of this days date before u.s.
"You will find herewith copies of four speeches
now being sent out from the folding room of the
Capitol of the United States, at the expense of the
people, for the benefit ofthe wings. Mr. A Stew
arts has the preference, far numbers con.
cerped. Seyenty-fye thousand copies have been
actually folded and enyeloped for, and delivered to,
we understand the superintendent OF the rooms ex-
poets 200 600 more as soon as the press can work
them off
"Upon the foregoing you implicitly rely. How
much this stupendous amount may be increased by
order of either politicians manufacturers, as the
contest thckens, we can only conjecture. But this
much is certain; our friends must take vigorous
counteractiye measures"
Will the democrats rest thus, with folded arms
Will not the citizens Of Washington avail them
selves Of their ancient and active organization TO
countervai these acts Of the whgs' Why cannot
the Democratic Association Of Washington again
assemble, appoint committee to ascertain the
movements Of the wings, and report upon the best
means which can be adopted to counteract themi

corn" in the following paragraph:

will not or that the Union may rest assured.

And our duty /, still the sam.---to defend ourselves
against the onslaughts ofthe whigs-to stand to our
arms, and with energy to carry out the following ad
vice Of the New York Morning News:
"DEsPERATE ATTEMPrs-The Union gives us to
understand that grand whig organization has been
made, with a capital Of thousands, for the purpose
of accomplishing the repeal Of the tariff of 1886.
About two hundred thousand antl-tarif documents
are being prepared by the organization for general
circulation These documents, when printed, are
sent to the fielding. room Of the House of Represen-
latives &c, where they are regularly enveoped by
the folders appointed for the House, and with wrap
ping paper prepared and paid for by Congress;
thence they carried to the room Of the commit
tee, where they are franked by one of its members.
OF what will this expensive scheme avail the whigsi
Do they entertain the illusory hope that they will,
by these gigantic movements, succeed in their de-
signs' How great will be their mistake-how over
whelming their disappointment All attempts to
create panic will fail Capitalists and manufactur-
will learn that democratic workingmen cannot be
starved into the remotest sembance Of wings, and
will, ere two years have elapsed, quietly resume
their business, and be content with profit of in
stead of 90 per cent. They may persist for short
time, in endeavoring to convince operatives that the
new tariff must inevitably ruin the country, and
plunge the masses into irremedable wretchedness,
but it will only be 'love's labor lost Firmly the
democratic party awaits the grand onslaught, and
VIGOROUSLY it will battle against all the maneuvres
that moneyed arstocrats and false-hearted political
ricksters may undertake in opposition to the true
interests of America, and in furtherance OF motives
as base and detestable they hopeless and fa-
acious. The fact is, the wings are desperate. A
bad cause engenders desperation, and the bitter
fruits of despair will be the only result of dishonest
rnachinatons
