M President such is the state Of things actually ex-

the fountains Of INDUSTRY and dry all its streams In
country OF unbounded liberty they csor 4nst Opprs

country where property more equally divided than sny

Thl, is Loce Focoisu. Here the two pictures look
at them Who can deny that they represent the two
parties Is II true, then that there sre no differences In
principle between them Have you and been contend
ing for nothing-bsn fighting shadows for the last twenty
years. No, the Wing party know bctter-ihey know
that they have been all times and conending

In this same eagernes consists the liability Of the wing
party 10
In some instances II has erred and modification and
shame have been The consequences. Men have been al
vsnced 10 high stations by Wings in their dere for Veto
~ who have not been mbued with the feelings, end wbo
been utterly egardess q the principles, o those
who have honored and trusted them. Let II ever be re
nembereG that these results have uniformly flowed from
the nomination and support Of Candidates upon principles
Of expediency and availability. We able 70
the consequences Of many mistakes Of this
kind The community have right 70 iuoge us BY our &C
lions, and profession when opposed 70 practice viii be-
and ought 70 be dsregarded and despised. II wings
choose their representatives In official stations, dema-
yogues and dsorganzers the party will be condemned as
unsound and unworthy Of trust.
There are, at this moment, hundreds Of sound wings
in the State Of NewYork, prepared TO DOUBT whether
Wing rule Is better for the Community than Democratic
rule What has suggested this doubt but the fact that Wings
been careless I'm the selection OF their representa-
lives They have been more anxious victory than for
the election and advancement Of men who would make
victory blessing 10 the community. This course of ac-
ton must be arrested the Wing party undsne men
will desire organizations Of party and they will have
them. Already the cry raised By thousands of good CIT
izens-" We tired OF poiticians-the community has
been cheated by themaway with thsm let US have some
thing new" The Of this complaint far ap-
plies TO the Wing party has been truly sated-the state
ment cannot be denied.
The mistake lie in ascrbng potent Influence to Names
and undertaking the power of other motives of action
What found 70 influence the great mass Of men IN an
election canvas First, party desire 70 defeat TO put
down. or keep down the opposing party. This is the
most Influential motive and hence IN every canvass
"a said against the opposing party than Ia favor OF
the party supported. Secondly party la1ors for It's own
success because large portion Of its members suppose
that VIII be beneficial 10 the country, whe an
other, and by far smaller portion Of H. see In success The
advancement Of their private interest These are
tho Office. seekers Personal regard for the candidate in
fuences very small number. The Office seekers make
great show OF personal attachment TO the man proposed
be elevated because they have personal ends 10 answer
by securing his favor they wish 10 prOht by the power
conferred upon him. But the great mass Of The party
only regard the candidate as the man who 10 represent
carry their principles he is the exponent Of those
principles. The writer Of this communication knows,
from actual observation In the great canvass for The Pres
dency IN 1870. and the not less exciting canvass OF s4a
that OF the thousands and tens OF thousands OF wings
whom he has assembled In the different States of the
Union hear political discussions, by the gre alter
number appeared 20 be much interested IN the pn
epes brought under review than in the Characters OF the
candidates although those candidates were Gen. hAhh
and aIr. CLAY.
From these facts and considerations draw the infer
ence that any man. who may be nominated by the wing
Convention in June next Il no be known Wing VIII De
likely receive the vote OF the Wing party generally In
my next / shall proceed TO show The peculiar claims Of
Mr. WEBSTER 70 this vote and then inquire 10 what extent
he would be likely receive votes from those who se not
professed Whigs, WIG FROM START.
