es him as the Wing candidate-to carry out
Wing measures-to discard Democrats and
their policy. The effort is making by Wing
wire-works to bring him forward as a ''nc.

the whole affair, and shows the real designs
of the party hacks who are mouthing his

him for his views of the origin of the wal,

appealed to heaven to witness their deter

BEAUTIFUL CONSISTENCY!

Some of the wing papers of the North
recently denounced the war as an unholy,
damnablc crusade for plumber, carried on
by ga set of armed %ruffians and murder
ers;" and Corwin, their champion in the
Senate floor, declared he would not vote a
man OF dollar to carry it on. They could
not support an "%unjust, unholy, iniquitous
and G~od-abhored war" Precious souls!
how pious! how con scientiouS! But all of
a sudden they are enamored of the hero of
the war. They would elevate to the high
est office in their gift, the very nan who
advised that unholy war; and who has
marched in the front rank upon all its
bloody fields. Out upon such hypocrisy!
The people will administer TO the canting
hypocrites the rebuke they deserve.

that the war was an unholy and unrighteous
one, waged without adequate cause by the
President, for plumber. That to carry on

state of things prevail here, as in Mexico,
where revolution follows revolution III

of things to ~convice him that it is rr0ng
but wing editors seem determined to force
him to do violence to his own conscience
TO compel him to do that, which he knows
to be wrong. Devoid Of conscience them
selves, they think others equally destitute
They would make him the tool with which
to work out that state of things which he
dcprecates. In the very face of his opin
ions, honestly and conscientiously express.
ed, they have hoistcd his name for Tie Presi,

But they would compelhim, by the vio'
|lcnce of their newborn love, to do that
which not only he has declared TO be wrong
but which they themselves have declared
fatal TO the liberties of the country. In
their pionS crusade against Gen. Jackson,
they declared it was subvcrsivc of liberty,
to elevate a military man to the chief mag

pies Of its fatal effects. But circumstances
