The struggle OF As Is over. and the result

has been deCreed by the People. aud new men
selected to Introduce it. The Government of
the Nation. as well as OF til State. for some
years ensuing, has been conflrd by the Peo-
pie To the Wing party through lis chosen can
aidates; and unless Death or Trrachorg should
against blast our -easonabie expectations, we
may hope that the Wing line OF policy will
be generally pursued in the legislation and
administration OF the next four years. We
entreat for it the careful eonsid,ra ion and
and candid judgement OF those who have hith
erso distrus,ed the Wing psrty, but especially
of Adopted Citizens.
Many OF these bad harIly landed on our
shores before their mIads were poisoned by
misrepresentation and ~calumny. Many OF

not read at alt: and these are the natural prev

But now that is all over and the Wing lri.

But do mol Judge too hastily, do not judge

1t Is great and sore mislortune 10 this
country that her Adopted Citizens have teen

drudges Of party. They leave their native
