nomination for the Presidency from the Wing par
ty Of the Union. In 1913, the Wing party are
PROSTATE before Zachary Taylor, begging him to
let them use his name for that station. He spprns
them, but alas for the poor wings, he can perpetrate
no indignity, which Will compel them to relinouisl,
his skirts. 1t is melancholy spectacle-the pre-
sent position OF the wing party, once great ana
powerful party, the play thing OF Zachary
Taylor, who seems TO take a pride in making tbeiv
pusanimity his sport. Time, time and AGAIN, had
he declared he would be the nominee OF no par,t,
for the Presidency Yet the great whig par!y bow
ed the knee, and hurnbly begged the of his avail
liable They came to him as the Queen Of
old came to Alexander the Great, hunlby begging
permission TO share his royal bed. What was his
reply? A scorniul assent. They might use his
name, but II must be without any ayoWed sympa

that Henry Clay proud TO reccire the whig
party were proud TO have Zachary Taylor scornfully
accept. They humbled themselves to the dust in
the nomination OF that man, but they had then by
means reached the depth OF their degradation
for the old man, Judging correctly that great par.

stances, woull submit TO any indignity, has made
that party his play thing.
The Albany demonstration, when we come 10 ex-

glorious past, flashed for 1t their visions
and they staggered and talked big Why they

heaped ndignIty upon indignity on them. lie had
creased them ali over, bat they would not have It

a sense Of thel, fallen coalition. The fires OF man
