The question before it u.s. how shall escape from the
sorest humiliation that party submitted to-how il
shall prevent itself from being defed, overrdden, and
osied clean out OF It's natural orbit by the too potent al
traction OF an " independent influence which will moi
condescend even to promise II anything by way of com
pensation The wing convention in Philadelphia must
decide whether they will be forced take up man who
wows that he nothing about them; that he will
give them no pledges and declaration of opinions
hat he will in spite OF them and that he will moi
hesitate if need be- push the election into the House of
Representatives, in order to get Executive power
which shall not be their power, though ii be gotten
by the compulsory aid of their votes
Compare this position of the wing party with their
position four years ago. when they went into canvass
with Mr. Clay unanimously chosen as their leader. True
enough, they then doomed to defeat But they
stood together, compact and powerful organization
They were fighting in the hairless of their convictions
They might with plausibiy term themselves the great
Conservative Party of the country If they warred with
the popular instinct they warred for a creed. They
welded moral power and when they came out of the
canvass vanquished, they had party at least the
consolaory right to say, Cali is lost bat honor But
now they give up all this Having clamored agans,
jseksonism for generation they turn to a man-wor
ship which has not Gas Jacksonism had in abundance
one single solitary principle TO make it grand General
Jackson was an embodiment of democracy. General
Taylor embodies nothing but that military distinction
which, in the days OF Jackson, the wings professed
spum And yet the hard fate of the whig party has
brought them even to this complexion. They try
ing to give up everything for availability, which
threatens at all events, be to them but barren and
which. in the natural course of events, may well fail to
prove itself even available
