WING INSTRUMENTATION,

One OF the strongest evidences that Judge Wick
has been faithful to democracy may be found in the
bitter hatred manifested towards him by the federal
and Mexican wings far and near The Cincinnati
Chronicle under the temporary control of a black
guard, known as Parson Brown-the title, of course
being one of derision-loses opportunity of assa
ing the Judge with the weapons of SANDER and false
hood The Of these weapons has become so com.
mon to that paper however, that its attacks excite
SURPRISE and are entitled to no considerations But il
is otherwise with the Cincinnati Gazette, which
claims for itself some title to responsibility, but
which it will not be apt to retain long in this quarter

Mr.. De Puy will excuse us, we hope, for publishing
this note. We did not at first intend to do SO; bu
thinking it probable that the false mputation of thu
Gazette might be copied by the Journal, and ohe
wing papers, we thought it right to print the note
for the purpose of setting the matter before the peop
/, in an indisputable shape.
