few days since we published some extracts from the
Philadelphia Daily News-a prominent and able organ Of
the wing party in that citygoing to show that in order
to be permitted to participate in the fruits of the late wing
victory, the Taylor democrats must not only become
gades to their principles but they must also abure the
name OF Democrat and adopt that OF whig That paper
continues 10 follow up its insulting and contumeous de-
mands upon the Taylor democrats In arguing the ne
cessiiy Of retaining the wing with wing principles
il says:
as there church in Christie ndom which would consen,
to change OF its name if its principles una-
ered2 Is there institution of credit that would

an honest reputation, and could bear it after alias

after triumph to its rophiesater has air that

character? We think not. 1t is well to conciae all, but
not well to offend The thousands, by sary
fee, The support Of units We would yield every
thing but our principles, party honor, ard party
name"
Now, we like this it is frank and honest 1t boldly
epudiaes the fraudulent idea entertained by of the
leaders OF the wing party OF abandoning wing principles
and ahjdrihg the Wing name. The magnificent scheme
of the present Secretary of State Mr. Clayton OF forming
Taylor republican" party. by abandoning the old whg
and platform, and gathering up and combining into
enc Heterogeneous compound the remnants of all party
systems, and the agends of all party factions, receives
no countenance from the News
Besides it resolutey holds up to those democrats who
were unwary to fall into the whg net in the late
presidential election the text and the creed of its party
II in substance says to them, that they have been duped
have lost grade with their party and that their only
course is, to degrade themselves by abandoning
their principles and their party nane and assuming those

The Administration,

In a company of democrats and wings, who dis.
cussng good humoredly the scramble going for the
offices among the parasites of power, it asked
"What kind OF administration is this!" An old
member of the bar replied "An administration de bonis
non" hearty laugh attesed the accuracy OF the de-
scripton.
Our own opinion is, that prescription will continue un-
