PICTURE OF THE WING PARTY.

Potomac , the Wing Washington correspon
dent Of the Baltimore Patriot, draws the follow
;nr sketch of the "havmony and good feeling"
witch low prevail in tie ranks Of the patriotic
and GLORIOUS" Wing party. Let the Democrats
stand firm 10 their principles, and the Wing
party will soon blow up in one grand "sPonta'
neous combustion Every where its he,eroge-
neous elements are in collision aud %coniilct, as
proved By Wings themselves
ssAnd what are the Wings doing all this
while. knowing, as they do, that if the Go;hs and
yandals, now at the head of affairs, are not ex-
nelled. our Rome is lost, or no better than lost:
Ara they standing shoulder TO shoulder, ready 10
nnite upon and elect, if they can, ANY good,
true. capable and faithful man in their ranks 10
the Chief Magistracy Are they showing, by
their works and by their words, that they care
more for their country and their principles than
thsy do for MES: Why do we find in Virginia
Mir. Bo,t, battling against Messrs. Pendieton,
Preston, Goggln, &C.; and the latter gentlemen
battling against MIR. Bolts, as 10 whether MI.
Clay or Geueral Taylor would be the proper
man for the Wings 10 support for Presidents
WHY do we find the New York Tribune and the
Courier and Enquirer battling against each
other upon the same subject Why do we find
certain Wing members Of Congress gretuitously
proclaiming, that OHIO will give her vote 10 no
man who is not for the Wilmot Proviso ; Why
do we find certain other Wing members ticking
i, upon themselves to declare, that General Tay-
lor will and shall be a candidate, whether or
no?
ais all thi. calculated 10 promote successful

The People FRANcE.-The Boston Atlas
ains letter from an intelligent American abroad to
one of our distinguished statesmen, In which, find
the following important paragraph. 1t gives a far
different statement of the French people from that
contained in other letters and papers which have been
sent from Europe:
al have this morning seen an intelligent friend just
from Paris, who says that the spirit of the people is
moderate, reasonable, and firmly opposed TO anarchy
as to the return of the Bourbons. He denouDces the
structures of the Times newspaper false In regard
to the sinister influence of the French clubs He
listened with delight he says, to many harangues of
workmen, that would have done honor to the most
enlightened Legislative body. He considers the Lon
don Sun and Daily News as the best for correct infor
nation and reasonable views of the revolution In
progress"

WING FoLLY.--The in which the whig
leaders in Congress are now foolng away the public
time and money, is partially developed by the follow
ing eegaphic report of proceedings in the Senate on
the 9th of April:
''Mr. Badgers resolution, previously offered in
structing the Committee the Library to purchase
Browns Portrait of General Taylor up for con-
sideration.
Mr. Hale of New Hampshire, moved to lay the re-
solution on the table.
The yeas and nays were demanded, and resulted in
the negative by yeas Ii, nays 10.
Mr.. Cass present, but did not vote, which fact
being noticed, caused laughter.
Mr.. Hannegan, of Indiana, moved amendment
in favor of adding the Portraits of Washington Jack
son and Scott. After considerable discussion, the
amendment was put to vote, and rejected.
Mr.. Hale moved to amend the amendment, by In
cluding the portraits of all American generals
An animated running debate sprung up, in which
Mr.. Badger, Mr. Hannegan, Mr.. Underwood, of KY,
MIR. Allen of Ohio, and MIR. Dayton, of New Jersey,
participated.
DIR. Hale moved to lay the resolution on the table,
which motion the yeas and nays demanded,
and resulted in the affirmative as follows-yeas 81,
nays 10.

PLANK RoADs.-The western legislatures sre pass
ing bills for the construction of plank roads Having
taken some interest in the subject, we convinced
of their superiority to McAdamized roads. They
cost lttle if any more, and wear longer. Besides,
horses themselves prefer plank roads to any other
and, where plank and McAdamized roads paral-
lei, will always take take the plank, if left to their
own way.-Boston Post.
1t is said however, that plank roads are bad for
cattle The feet of oxen, when drawing heavy loads.

evil!

FoumERIsM IN FRANcE.-The disciples of Fourier
claim the revolution in France triumph of Fourier
ism and rejoice at the prospect of that country being
divided into phaldnres!
The New York Tribune says Louis Blanc,
of the Secretaries of the Provisional Govern
ment, is an open admirer and eulogst of Fourier,
while Lamartine, Ledru Ron and other leaders of
the people, are emphatic advocates of great social
renovation. We also find the following from the
London Chronicle, of the 22d ut. The Chronicle is
stating the grounds of apprehension that revolution
would be attempted in Paris. and says:
''Another and very serious cause of alarm is with
respect 10 the working (printers) compostos and
pressmen of Paris. They very formidable and
a very turbulent body. amounting to upward of six
teen thousand men. Hitherto they have taken little
or no part in the affair of the reform banquet but
to-day they have given notice in almost all the print
ing establishments that they will not be at their work

WHIG SPEECHES OUT WEsT.-Mr. Lincoln, whig
member of Congress from Illinois, made speech
short time since against the war; and with the usual
amount of abuse of our gallant officers and soldiers,
copy of which found its way into Wisconsin TO an old
customer, who returned it, with the following writ
ten on a blank leaf, to Mr.L.:
''This thing has found IT'D way away ont here in

Rouge some weeks ago, and it is not improbable that
he had something to do in suggesting and framing
this letter. Perhaps it may be the one which the N.
