decent as they are unmerited, on Tuesday oxerts
its powers of vtuperation against the whole
Democratic party. Here is sample Of its
style of railing against its political opponents.
Speaking of the Democratic party, it says:
"When was that party ever known to hesitate
for one moment between duty and expcdiency!
When did it ever hesitate TO pitch the former
overheard whenever il proved troublesome
passenger, or occupied too much time to admit
the latter For our parts, We should have been
astonshed at any other result than such as has
taken place, provided We could have felt assured
that they viewed General Cass the strongest
man within the scope of their selection. When
the seven principles are at stake, the great
Democracy is never wont TO stand upon trfcs.
1t would sacrifice the very Saviour that re
ceemed them, to save this, the most important;
nay, as far as we can see, the only tangible
point in their creed"
We note this abusive slang, flor really it de.
serves no other appellation,) merely 10 call pub
lie attention to it. Itcould reeeire no other re-
ply, than by retorting in language We discam to
employ towards the Wing party, and II is ,cor.
thy of no reply at all. 1t must disgust every
one Of generous feelings; and we cannot believe
that the person who wrote it, can read it over
without some sensation of repentance and re-
greet. We earnestly deprecate this spirit of
viuperation. What can our neighbors hope TO
gain by III Surely not reputation for wit or
learning' Nothing is easier than to utter sense.

lhets. They cannot believe such bitter denun.
citations of their opponents will tend 10 improve,
much less 10 convert them; and We trust they
are not calculated 10 amuse, enlighten or confirm
their friends. We again express the hope that
the Wing may, at least, restrain this propensity
to abuse, which appears 10 grow upon i, if il
cannot altogether repress it.
Yesterdays Wing devoles another column 10
personal abuse Of Governor Cas-, OF whom il
says, ",hat he who would commit great pol-
cal misdemeanor in his public capacity, would
not be apt 10 stand on iriles, as a private man,
were the inducements sufficient. Il is fatal
thing for public happiness, when The rogue in
public life comes TO be regarded as the eslimable
man in private ife" We shall no, now go into
an examination of the Wings charges. We
conlen, ourselves with referring to The strong and
expressive testimony in favor Of our candidate,
which We have reproduced above, from prominent
and influential Wing journals. Their evidence
overwhems all that the Wing has said or can

eff Mr.. Clay is the Wing candidate, we DEFY

we confidently believe. several other States

States which Mr.. Clay, re beliele, will now
carry, growing out Of this war which Mr.. Polk
has brought upon the country, together with
other new issues which the war produces.--
These issues are likely TO be deeply important,
and the country can look to no man in whose
judgment and patriotism it can trust at all equal
to MIR. Clay in such emergencies. Hence 1t is
that we have not doubted that the Phladelp hia
Convention ,cill do its du'y lis whole duty, in
promptly responding 10 the manifest toishes Of
the WING parry, that Henry CLAY shall be the
Wing standard bearer. He is not the man of
the North or South, East or West, but of the
Union, and in his hands does every man feel in
his heart that the country would be safe. Let the
Convention give US suei state'man, and the
star Of Lewis Cass would soon grow pale before

We learn from lhe Fncasllc Democrat that
Major Walker, the Democratic candidate in The
Montgomery Senatorial District. contests the
election Of VIM. FL. French, ESQ.,:
"Some 26 votes in Monroe, which were placed
on The back OF the poll, are ascerained 10 be good
and Walker expects 10 sci aside more than 100
votes in The district We earn that Walker and
his friends expect TO gel The seat, or 10 have The
election sent back 10 The people. Walker claims
that some 25 votes which we're rejected al Giles
