The miserable cry OF tory, traitor, Mexican, is
constantly heralded to the world by the political
press OF the other party and by none more than
the press of this County. We now submit a few
facts to the public.
Those, who cry loudest, are among the number.
who in 1874 promised to fight the battles OF the
Country, il the annexation of Texas led TO War.
Not n solitary politician, save and except one,
went from this county last summer. ofthe mon,
ey given to support the volunteers, more than
half was given by Wings.
OF the present company of volunteers, we may
safely claim one half as Whigs--of this we are
not certain. Not "A solitary politician is among
them. In the present company, we believe that
there are but two of the old volunteers.
OF the officers of the present company, the
Captain, LIST and Sd Lleutenants are Wings.
OF the money given TO support the present com
pany, prior to leaving this place, tco thirds came
from the Wing purity.
And the L%ocoloco party, in attempting to raise
Il dinner for the returned volunteers. wished Ia
make it a party matter, passing such resolution:
us the Wings could not subscribe to. This added
to the boast Of the Eagle that some Of the return
ed volunteers had burned Tom Corwin in efigy
prevented the Wings from subscribing to the din
nerand their aid being withdrawn, the result wa'
no dinner.
So it seems that, alter all, the party, who wish
ed to make capital out of this war, are dependenI
upon Wing men and Wing money.

intelligence of the stoppage, yesterday,
of the great banking house in New York
of Prime, Ward & Co. The nnounce

was well calculated to do, in New York
and almost everywhere else, so extensive
were their operations, and so high their
character for wealth. The Express re-
ferring to the suspension says: 1t is we'll
know that this firm is composed of gen.
tlemen of the highest character for in
tegrity and honor-and until within a
few days have enjoyed the highest conf
dence as Bankers. The failures of cer-

to the business ofselec citing the best wheat

they obtain a higher price by fifty or sew
