TINE ENOUGH.

ais a. candidates Ot the Wing party tor the next
Presidency, We are happy TO observe, however.
that these preferences are uniformly accompanied
by a nantes, willingness TO sacrifice personal
predictions for the general good. and make the
question Of men, it ought TO be, a subordinate
one to that Of principles.
| Still. We ask, with sincere Difference 20 the
opinions ot others, is It not too TO agltate the
question of who shall be the Wing successor 10
Mr. Polk That worthy gentleman has been in
his seat but year, and here we are already ear
nes,ly cnquir,ng upon whom his mantle is to fall.
IL for no other reason than to give the public
mind repose, we should object to this early agi-
tation of an exciting topic. Our national vessel
has just passed through fearful storm of excite.
ment,-let it repose in the hsrbor for time, and
repair damages, il possible, before il venture again
into raging of contention. We would de-
precate most earnestly this constant political tur

| none the less an evil because il is necessary
one, that one year in every four, the two great

even families, should be divided that the press
should TEEN with angry harangues, and the ros

nary pursuits of life should be IN a measure meg
lected, and the whole nation give Itself up to the
one absorbing business of electing President.
We would much rather curail than extend this
period of strife and for that if for other cause,
we say, let the Wings bring no candidate into the
field for the next year at least
We are proud to believe that the Wings have

Or, if the West shall give Us the candidate in any
