Wynkoop wrote letter from the Castle Of Perots

published in the Pennsylvania, Philadelphia I'm
this letter Col. Wynkoop takes occasion TO an.
nounce tbs abandonment o the Wing party. and his
accession to the Democratic ranks.
The Pennsylvania, in publishing this letter Of
September 9th, we wish the reader to mark the
date, among other remarks makes the following:
"Col w. was Wing at home, bu, the con-
duct of the leaders ard the organs Of the Federal
party, in their aid and comfort of the enemy, has
been 50 glaringly unpatriotic, that it has
ted him into good Democrat while abroad"
And the Colonel. for HIMSELF in this letter, in
denouncing the g Wing leaders and supporters"
and threatening most dabolical future of re-
turned soldiers wrath upon them says, that he
came into the country Z" a Whig in policy" bu, he
had again and again been compelled to listen to
and suffer that which must have changed the dis
position aud alenated the affections OF the most
determined partizan." And he says that. what he
lapa' was some Mexican newspapers $ of that
place. in which he finds the strongest argu-
ments published against our army, were selections
from Wing papers in the United States" He
adds" send you copy Of the Boletin de No
ticias," in which you will perceive that the first
article is an extract from the National Intellgen-
cer." And in his postscript he gives the world to
understand that his Remuneration of Wing prnci-
pies, and the Wing party is complete and perfect,
and intended for the public eye. The P. S reads:
You may publish this if you please. have be-

Mark the date.
Now he claims before the people of Bucks coun-
ty that it was not until he read Mr.. Clays Lexing
ton speech " in Spanish" at Puebla. that his
Wing principles were tramped in the dust, so
help him God, forever :" Most unfortunately for
the colonels pious attestation of the date and
cause of his apostacy, Mr.. Clays Lexington speech
was not delivered until two months and four days
after the date of the published letter in which he
had once before, " so help him God forever" tram
pied his g Whig principles in the dust"
! Perhaps the Colonel will be ready to agree with
US now that I" liars should have good memories"
for he will be put to the inconvenience of finding
some other apology for his apostacy, than Mr..
Clay's Lexington speech, the date of which will
not allow it to be used on this occasion.
We repeat in dsmissing the Colonel, that it Is
of small consequence indeed, what was the offence
which, /" so help him God, forever" led him to
treat his Wing principles so rudely as to tramPt
the little he had in the dust. But it is we ha' e
intimated quite another affair, and positive con-
sequence to US to be able to prove that an ccuser
of the Whig party at large and of the vene rated
names of it's $. leaders," Clay and Webster, &c.
is guilty of wanton falsehood, and in no wise
worthy of eredence, as he is certainly unworthy
the association or confidence of honora BILE men.
