the political arena, Gen. Price, the talented
candidate on the democratic ticket, will be
found after him with the sharpest kind.of a
stick. See Gen. Prices appointments to
speak in another column.
We clip the following e%ffusiou from the
Paris Mercury, a Wing paper, published in
the intelligent county of Monroe. 1t is an
editorial comment upon a late speech de-
Ilivered by Judge King, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, to the people of that
county.
"He stated (says this sable editor that
the Wings had only had a President eight
years out of the sixty odd years of the ex-
~istence of our government, hut he would
throw in Tyler, which would make twelve
years. This bold assertion was made in
the face Of the fact that Washington, JEFF
~Iferson, Madison, Monroe, and John Quincy
Adams, were all Wings; and they say that
Gen. Jackson was so much of a whig when
but a boy that he refused to black a British
boots; and Gen. Harrison was a
Whig-and the next President of these
United States will, undoubtedly, be a
Wing"
Such a manifestation of ignorance we
rarely meet with in the private walks of life,
but to see it herald forth in the public jour-
nails, whence the people draw information,
is shocking, and the wonder is that such a
genius is allowed to write for an intelligent
The assertion that Washington,
Jefferson, Madison and Monroe were all
Wings, we excuse it is natural for men
without principles to claim to be followers
of popular men, but after claiming these he
is not satisfied with the twelve years allow
ed him by the Judge, and says there's John
Quincy Adams and Gen. Harrison, who
were both Wings wonderful! and where
does he get his twelve years without count
ing their time? He thinks that Harrison
and Tyler's administrations were four years
each, and the elder Adams eight. He's
got yet to learn that no Wing has ever serv-
ed a second term. But when the Editor
claims the Adamses as Wings, we wonder
that it never occurred to his expansive
mind how it looked to claim their Compel
itors too. Were both parties Wings, Jeffer-
son was a competitor oil the elder Adams,
and Jackson was a competitor Of John
Quincy Adams. Yet the Mercury claims
them all, he knows that Gen. Jackson
a Wing because he would not black
a British officers boots.
In commenting further upon Judge Kings
remarks upon the Mexican war. he says,
"On this subject the Judge manifested a
great lack of correct information, or an as
tonishing recklessness and boldness of as
Judge, you ought to have gone
to the Mercury man for correct informa-
ton, he would have taught you the facts
in relation to the war, as we'll as, that eve
ny President we have ever had, down to
the present incumbent, Van Buren, except
ed were Wings, and that the next Presi-
dent would, u%odoubtedlv, be a Whig.
