The WIG PARTY.--Never was party en-.
titled to more praise for firmness of purpose
and purity of jnient-together with the moral
courage to carry out its purpose than the
Wing party in the General Assembly at the
extra session just closed. Many of them
went there with gloomy forebodines of coming
evil to the counny--fearing that Locofocoism
had the power, and knowing that it had the
will to fasten great curse upon the country,
and to set an example Of representation which
would conflict with the interests Of the people
through long series of years. This state o.
things was forseen, and, We are happy TO say,
manfully met by the Wings in the General
Assembly.
For this act of moral frmness they will re-
ceive the abuse of the pensioned press Of the
State. Blu. they will receive from the people
the assurance of well found support for sus.
tanning the constitution against the incendiary
attacks OF Locofocosm.
We send congratulations and greetings te
the people of Iowa and to those of the Union
| The Senate of the United States has been saw
ed from the olluting presence OF Locofoct
Senators who wished and sought 10 be elected
by an unconstitutional majority.
