artillery for political purposes We can assure
the Wing, that no Democra, has ''lried," or even
desired, TO put a "stop TO the Whis celebra-

SO rarely blessed with polilica victories, that
the Democrats wish them to make the most o.
the presen, triumph, and enjoy themselves Daiie
then can. Indeed, we are informed that De-
mocra who has, as his own private property,
an excellent piece Of ordnance, that was used

has .slberally" rendered il 10 the Wings. If,
therefore, the celebration be not as brilliant and
successful as they desire, let the Wings blame
themselves, and not their opponents!
But there is another reason why the Demo-
Gratis desire the Wings to carry out and have "a
good time" at their celebration. We have in
vain endeavored to ascertain from their con-
ventions and public speakers what was the poll.

the late election, and which would be sanctioned

nBut it is as triumph of THE PRINCIPLES OF
rur Wuo PARTY that VIC look upon this result
with emotions of unmingled delight General
Taylor is but the embodiment of the great con-
seryatiye principle, around which the Wing
party has ever rallied-opposition to tyranny
under whatever guise it may appear.

Blu, the official programme speaks of the ju
