THEY WON'T gGpERsTAyD.

M the organs, and trould-te organs, Of Wing
dom, pretend that the Democratic press is utter
ing do!etul lamentations on account of its friends
eralsss. In endesYoringt to impress this upon the
minds Of their readers, the Federal editors either
show that they are wolully deficient in compre-
heneion, or that tleg arW rot understand. The
Democratic press does not complain SO much of
the appointment of FedeIalists in the place OF
competent Democrats, Us it does Of asviolation OF
dll General Taylor pledges. AsMe have said
On former occasions, We say now, il Gen, Taylor
had been elected as a Wing, and had rot unso-
lcited, have asserted, in substance, again and
again, that he you'd rot turf arg nar oat Of Office
for opinioa sake, we would be silent on the sub
ieet CT prescription. Gen Taylor ard his Secre-
taries MIGHT sweep every Democrat from Office,
We could not expect nor desire any thing else Of
Wis But Y hen we behold a man, who has
been elected to the greatest Office On earth, who
should be honest and pure and regard his pledg-
ed word as a sacred thing, violating all the rules
Of tgnth ia disreearding his word-vhen we see
pfes5 that once denounced prescription, change
sides, and for the saae ofgain advocate the OPP
poete, crying opt,p sctibe--pl oscTlhe-we will,
to the BEST OF Our ability, denounce such a man
and press, and hold them up to the just indigna-
tion Of an outraged people. We hope, therefore,
il the Y hg press does not understand Our posi-
ton, that the people will, and while we are out
against Gen. Taylor's removing Democrats from
office, because they are Democrats, remember
that it IS not so much against prescription as the
unTrincipled manner in which it is done.

A Screw Loose.


A writer in the last Spectator recommends the
call CT Wing Convention, to be holden in
Stanton, in the month OF August, for the pur-
pose OF deYising the best means of saving the
''all-decency" no-party Wing party from entire
humiliation. When we recolect the much that
was said last Fall, by these same consistent gen
tlemen, IN reference to Conventions, and the
manner OF appointing delegates thereunto by
meetings of halt-dozen persons, at the roads,
il is matter of establishment that they should re-
sort to the very thing they abused to save their
party from ruin--but there's screw loose and
it must be frightened. We apprehend the Wings
will find something more necessary than Con-
vention, to hold their party together-we mean
little political honesty-at this time it is unit
ed only by the hope Of the '!public plunder,''
which the no-party President is dividing among
them, down even to the piea5une Post Office, and
this, too at the rate of FOUR HUNDRED reno
walls a day Truly, the no-party President has
mo friends to reward; no enemies to punish =
It will soon require search-warrant to find the
Wing party, in Firginia-they are becoming a.
sharned of it themselves. Can't some one tighten
that screw

We're examined by the officers of our Rail Road

double cars were loaded, which train was taken
through from this place to Harpers Ferry by the
locomotive president, well named for it IS as
efficient as the President of the Road This strain
had on it to go through 99l barrels Of Flour, IS
tons Pig-metal, and over 1000 lbs. merchandise.
The conductor, Richard Anderson and ennineer,
Jas. Nlagalis; also took up along the line of the
Road more double cars the weight {. contents of
which are not known, but supposed to be equal
to from 500 to $50 barrels Of Flour. This train
passed from terminus to terminus in four hours &.
a halt, as, by the aid Of the telegraph, was known
in the Rail Road office Immediately upon its ar
rival
Henry Crum ESD, Inspector, and c. S. Funk,
Esq., his able assistant, inspected, May 8, over
1850 bills, and on May 10, over 500 bbls, Flour.

blind to their interests and to the duty of sustain
