that was the secret of the success OF the democra-
tic party. That party never identified itself with
any sectional quarrel, or abstract theory ia morals
or politics. Al the present time The wing party are
partially divided on the isms which Seward and
a Greeley have tackled to its tail. Those isms aud
iallaces must be avoided by the adm nstration,
if Mr.. Fillmore and his cabinet desire that they or
the wing party shall remain in power. They have
now an opportunity to disprove the charge so often
made against them By their opponents, that
the wings, as a party, are incapable of manag-
ing, in proper manner the affairs of the
country. By taking this course, the wings may
tain control of the government for an Indefinite Pc

Of years, inoUirated among his subjects spirit Of
national independence, which finally resulted IT
the emancipation of bis people even from the des
