Our friend Chandler late of the United States Gazette,
gave the following sentiment the 18th of Juy
THE WING party and wing principles--the man who
thinks lightly Of the former, cannot give the country the
benefit OF the latter"
This has been called by some a significant sentiment.
definition of what wing principles are. Whatever other
members OF the party to which MIR. Chandler belongs
may say do, feel assured that he has too much
respect for his character man, and for his honored
associates to deny that he is ederast of the old school,
He will not repudiae or deny his admiration of John
Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Fisher Ames Gov. Strong,
and host of other kindred spirits alike talented and dis
tngushed He will not DENY his opposition to Mr. JEFF
ferson and MIR. Madison, and the late with Great
Britain. He will not deny his support OF the younger
Adams, and his opposition to the patriot Jackson.
Now If he will admt--as we have no doubt as a gen.
tleman, and of truth and honor, he w-he posi-
ton we have assigned him, then take for granted,
what he calls wing principles OF the present day. were
federal principles In days gone by.
These consisted we understand in the days of John
Adams, OF alien law which authorized the President TO
order any foreigner out of the country pleasure with
out further hearing sedition law which subjected any
citizen who might write speak disrespeculIy of the
President or men in authority, TO Indictment
In after days they consisted of pure opposition TO hos
James Madison, and the with Great Britain and at
aler period the support OF United States bank the
rock of federal salvation and in the ndiscrmnate abuse
and denuncation of Gen. Jackson, for his opposition to
IT, at the present day. in advocating special interests, and
everything that will tend to create moneyed arsocacy
by which they hope ultimately to control the country by
the influence OF wealth. and the oppression it produce
on those who are subject TO it.
II these are the principles which Mr. Chandler wishes
to give the country the benefit OF, hope he may
find candidate either able or willing the re-
