Ma. EnrToR-Rhen see SO many unusual things daily occurring. asd when find something ''Dew under she sum-" Heel tt my duty asw we'll as my piea- 10 invite heabe mind to their consideration.
 In the limits of our young State, we have wit- messed many sIraagc anomalies--many srtful inyen- tions of ofdespete ben, struggling in ahopees cause But. must Dnfess. this last humbug crowns the most enrioss f thsn all, indeed, caps the climax.
 There has prug up in our very midst, party set of spiris compseted together under the dc. nomination q the"no party party" or in more ap- propriae wO--is 'sThe ssfr;ns;p!ea party" par iy totally deaitu.e of the shade of political prn- ciple, and at var with every thing that approximates 10 common snse and common reason. They are not democrat. fof it is against democrats they wage a most furious warfare. They are not whigs. for unlike whis, they have repudiated Henry Clay and his dictstpn. Ttey are just nothing at all. They desire to accomplish but one object, and they are regardless of the means they employ in its accom- plishme,t. They resort to the delusion of sppro- gglitselng and faeinating names, and recit- ing the renowned deeds of daring and valor per formed Iy their heroes in the execution of war
 
 They iscard all their old doctrines, and shout for the whde county. Surely an exceeding great 'change has come over the spirit of their dreams; we hear them ad, coating strict observance of the constitution and desiring ito that man (be hs rAo ke may) at the head of the nation who will make us the most prosperous at home as well the most specteA abroad" Oh! the song of the Siren! how L.. 1.t. IL it bnrg to memory the "haId cider" and "coon skin" campaign Of ls4o!
 They are neither for nor against q protective Tarif-neither for nor against National Bank neither for nor against Constitutional Treasury They are for nsking save inc country. And that they will ore -seSe by dishonorable and eowardly retreat from Melco and full appropriation of the spells of office. This is the "head and heart" tn: "neek ard heeisf of the "no party party"
 They desire Id elevate Gen. Taylor to the Prssi dential chair. A man who has won a name in tn, prosecution (in their opinion) of an unjust and un righteous war. "A man who has openly declared h. has formed no Opinion upon the great measures oi the countIy-a nan. who admits he is no politicia, and admitting hat admits he is no, a statesman But they ask no his political principles they ar, not content with i:e nse'of his name. They ask no the success of ,he whig doctrines, but only the de- feat of the demociacy. The defeat of the democrac, and possession of the sPos are "glory enough fo them.
 To democrats, !, then say--will you give up you creed? Will you discard your long cherished doe trines' Will you yeid your hard fought battles ana forsake your rRsciPses just in the moment o their triumph' wili yos join this new born party in the hue and ey against your eountry1 1 canDo d0sbt but you VII, by your silent and solemn vote cast one eternal Condemnation upon this "Federa Whig," or "No party party, under whatever guis, or name il my eect its treacherous crest To thos. who lay ssas their once sacred principles with out any conscientious scruples I say--do II. Asl no questions, shdt your eyes and "go it blind" But when. if such should ever be the case, yo, have aided and assisted in their fatal triumph whcl you have repossd unlimited confidence in their ials professions. and you see the mask flung from thei deceifnl Tromises and the veil torn from their evi designs. beg that you will then think of the warn ing voice of inc bundering HANDY ANDY.
