OI5-On Saturday last, Judge Wick. according to
previous appointment, addressed large number Of
the people at the Eastern market house. He spoke
upwards of three hours, and with extraordinary spirit
and vigor. Owing large debt to the Wing leaders
for their unceasing and unfair personal warfare
against him during the last years, he seemed
feel like dscharging it an uR and presume those
of them who present, including the editor of the
Journal, think that he did so. He dashed them with
unbounded severity and exposed in detail the unjust
charges which had been brought against him. We
should have felt tempted to give readers sketch
Of the Judges speech, bat as Saturday and Monday
both holidays, and friends absolutely forced
us to share in the general fun, we had not time to
make the attempt
Mr.. McCarty spoke about half an hour in reply to
Judge Wick, and appointed to deliver the remainder
Monday, which he fulfilled. We only heard his
remarks of Saturday. They entirely devoted to
Judge Wick personally, on the subject of his course
in Congress. Some of the positions of Mr.. McCarty
were certainly ludicrous enough. We could hardly
realize the fact that the speaker the SOBER
stad and respectable citizen whom we have been ac-
customcd to regard with SO much esteem and friendly
feeling. Verify, Wing nomination for Congress has
worked strange metRmorphosis Mr.. McCarty had
not word 10 say about Wing principles or Wing
measures, past, present future. He apparently
disposed to treat the Democracy with much liberality
and considerations but could not help doubling if
he would be equally generous and forbearing he
not well satisfied of the fact of democratic majority
in the district We even doubted whether Mr.. Nc
Carty's wing friends would have given him the honor
of nomination. and imposed ON him the disagreeabe
task of electioneering in the manner thought by
them to be expedien were that majority wing in
stead of Democratic. In the latter case, COL A w.
MoERls, Acting Auditor of State, instead of holding
and arranging Mr.. McCarty's papers, would be much
more likely to be on the block himself

GREAT MEN's REcREA TIoNs.--Mr. Webster while
in Charleston, like MIR. Clay in New Orleans felt a
laudable ambition to Stay something. Mr. Clay wish
ed to kill Mexican but Mr.. Webster in the dearth
of tom-cods, expressed desire to kill alligator.
He fired, but the hide of the animal harder than
any cider ever drank in the campaign Of 1910, and
the ball bounded from the animals back like parchcd
corn from hot stove-platc. Mr.. Webster intends
next to Try on soft-sIelled alligator.

In Judge Wick's speech on the increase Of the pay
OF the army in the of earnest remonstrance
with majority of the House, concerning the manner
in which the House had failed to sustain the war
measures recommended by the Executive, maybe found
the following sentence:
AT the present uncture the Democratic party in full
possession Of every branch Of the government and there
fore responsible And when because you will do neither
one thing another drops from mbeCie hands,
aud opponents into power, what will become of
you, ye timid politicians who shiver the brink of a
cup of tea and fear 10 aunch democratic commander of
your armies ready stocks Your districts be-
come wing, and you will be superseded If you hare not
the moral courage 10 do The right thing from Ore Of country
at least do at an defence Of your desks here and The eight DOL
lars per day Parties controlled by principle and
question of principle patty must be uncompromsng
But upon all questions Of expedency parties not only
may but must compromise, or do nothing.
II results that the democratic party in this House
meet on ground. History usti6es the conclu
sion that in reference involving radical
principle parties have almost universally found
unite upon the basis Of Executive Recommendation, than
upon any other ground.
That part of the sentence which is in italics, when
construed by the rest of the sentences and especially
when taken in connection with other portions of the
speech is evidently taunt, indicating to those to
whom the speech was addressed that their derection
of duty induced by the selfish fear of losing their
seats in Congress, and that as they seemed to have
abandoned noble and patriotic motives and were in
tent only upon BuncOmbsing the best way to effect
that obi ect would be TO do right. We will
leave it TO the faculty of any college if this be the
true sense of the sentence Indeed this sense is so
apparent that none but noodle could understand it
otherwise.
The wing candidate for congress, in his addresses
to the people, represents this taunt being sober ad
vice to members of Congress to pursue certain
course with a view TO a recollection.
MIR. McCarty has been assured by Judge Wick, in
private conversation, of the meaning of the SEN
tence and in fact his protested misunderstanding of
its meaning never could have been anything better
than affectation; for Mr.. McCarty is no noodle.
He only undertakes the common sense of his audi
ence, and treats them clearly indicate that he
thinks them to be noodles 1t is specimen of low
cunning not very crediable. Cunning is the intellect
Of brutes-not of men.
We had intended to say but little of Mr.. McCarty,
and that respectfully, in accordance with Judge
Wick's desire. But Mr. McCarty's course iustiies
this comment, and we may, by Judge Wick's sane
ton, add g few of the same sort" Candidates
for Congress should not resort to low acts

O. The news from Europe continues to be
of particular interest to the farmers. Notwith-
standing the European crops promise well, bread
stuffs have risen higher than ever, and it is GER
tain that prices will rule pretty high for some
time to come: thus confirming the suggestions
which we made few weeks since, and on the
strength Of which the farmers were invited to
lay in largely for wheat, corn, and oats the pres
ent season. Something can be done even yet to
increase the surplus of the tarm-by turneps,
and perhaps also by carrots-part of the latter to
be fed out after grass in the autumn, and the re-
mainder left in the ground until next spring and
fed before grass. Carrots rank pretty high as
food for cattle and horses, and an acre of rich
light soil will produce an enormous quantity
The difficulty is in wintering them, and this
should not be attempted unless they can be well
dried in the sun and then placed in dry cellars
and just cold enough not to freeze.

PRESIDENTIAL.

In giving from week to week, articles upon
this subject, it is hardly necessary to say that we
intend and desire TO give no lead to the thoughts
of the reader in any particular direction. The
purpose simply is to mark the straws as they
come, from which one may guess at the drec-
ton of the current of popular opinion if he
chooses to do so.
o. The extract from the letter Of Gen. Tay-
lor, published in our last has really alarmed the
Polk dynasty. They treat him as a dangerous
rival and demand specific definition of his po-

ground out by old Mrs. Richie herself:
The people ought TO know-and free people
will never be satisfied without knowing far
his principles suit them. is he a Democrat or is
he Wing? He goes for "strict observance

mean by strict observance? Is he of the school
of jefferson, or of Webster and Clay? Does he

internal Improvements protective or reven-
ue tariff-the law of 1912 or 1876? We have
no idea that the old soldier affects any mystery
upon these questions. He will scarcely pursue
the advice of his "committee ofsecrecy" at Phil
adelphia. But let some friends call upon Hill
for another letter, and let the old general como
out. This is what the country have right Ia
ask; and nothing short of this requistion ought
to satisfy an enlightened people who value "prin
ciples more than men,"
The Convention of Wing delegates IN the
Eighth District, in Indiana, at which Mr.. DAME

among Others the following resolutions:
| Resolved That we are opposed TO the extern

rood, although we shall always respect the con
sututional rights of our Southern brethren, anC
treat them as citizens possessing equal rights
and privileges with those resident in the North.
Resolved, That we take the same grount
with that taken by the unanimous votes of the
Whig party in the last Congress, namely, agains
a spirit of conquest and aggrandizement, believ
ing that in that way and no other, can the grea
question of Free and Slave Territory, which
threatens the peace and permanency of our be
loved Union, be tremendously settled.
Resolved, That this administration has unne
cessarily involved our country in war will
Mexico, and that we believe it will devolve upoI
the Wings safely and honorably to end it-ant
that we view it as in Its inception an useless
War, holding that boodshed is never justiiable

ner averted.

appears that he is.
