THE TIMES
BARGAIN & INTRIGUE;
The Wings sold to the Bank, Low

ty to read the following article, from
the last Fayette Democrat, the Or
gan of the old Bank Clique, under
the control Of Lowry and jackson.
The impudence of the writer is
only exceeded by the basenes of
the Traitor. We give the article
entire; on the next page we will
pay our respects to it in detail:-
INDEPENDENT STATES RIGHT CANDI-
DArE.-Wc hail with pleasure, the de-
termination TO which Gen. JOHN B.
CLARK has finally come in permitting
his friends 10 use his name on this Tick
ct. Ii is not true, as intimated in the
Glasgow Times that the first overture
to form this ticket came from the Dem
ocrats; il came from the Whig side Of
the House. But il is true that it has
met with hearty response from the
Democracy; and as patriotic move its
originutors may be proud of the dis
tinc,ion i, will give them. We would
not discluim the honor that tho Times
would confer upon US in this respect
but only to set the matter right in point
Of historical truth. The principle that
it embraces is the most sparkling gem
in the Democratic banner. 1t is the
very basis upon which that great Re-
lican party took its rise-Sta,e Rights,
in opposition to the all absorbing and
!, despo,ic Central power which it was
attempted TO build up in the general
government. 1t has long lain dormant
or has only through the steal.hy en-.
croachments Of demagogues, been max
; ing inroads upon our republican insti.
tutions. Col. Benton had the audacity
TO become the open champion of that
despotic power in this State. 1t caused
. his instant political death. He now on
ly holds Office by tyranrs will not TO
, give it up. Some of the Wing dema-
gogucs on par with Benton, thought
to make capital out of such of the
Democrats as truckled TO the tyrant,
by winking at his baseness. For this
purpose John G. Miller comes out as
the advocate of the Dcspolic Central
Power in Congress, thinking that he
:, can cheat the Wings and hold them on
to his corrupt scheme by telling them
: that he will cote against it in the parlic-
+, ular case now exciting the country and
involving the peace and safety of the
J. Union But like Benton, he is instant.
y cas-, aside. Men of principle, who
y love their country, cannot be thus en-
. shared by party names to sacrifice the
/ substance Of government for which
o alone they have been contending Dem
;. ocratics and Wings, in the mass, find
is that they have very little 10 divide them
in measures, and that they can unite
r. heart ard hand in the grea, and para

is Hence the ESTATES RIGHT TICKET
The mass of the Wings loose not 6
ot of any thing they hold dear in thus
uniting with the Democrats. They
have been taught TO call themselves
: Democratic Wings and in this way
t, have perhaps been often led to give
re their votes where otherwise they woulc
g not. DEMOCRACY is now the taismatit
IL IL word throughout Europe as well as il
this country, for the progress of liberty
7, 7, and Democratic Wings may well com
;" bino with plain Republican Democrat

I'd rights Of the States. the inyiolability o
Mt the Constitution, and the safety Of tn
he Union.
e. On the part of the Democrats, ther
,el ,e can be no reluctance in supporting Ger
p Clark for the Legislature. lie repu
dates the old Federal doctrine of des
in poiic power in the General Governmer
and is with US in all the cardinal prime
pies Of Republican institutions. He ha
cs. manfully defined his position, and
found right on the great and excitin
question of the day, and which is ais
u.s. the rock on which Democracy is bull
We therefore trust that the Democrat
Oe' and wings will cordially unite on the
ticket. Principles. moi men, is the pr,
per governing rules in politics. and
carrying out this rule, we shall have
difficulty in giving hearty and unite
support TO our ticket.
