PROSPECTS OF THE WING PARTY.
If we have any skill in divining the prosnos-
tics of the times, we think we see glorious fu /
ture for the Wing party. (a) They have a
leader who has the confidence and affections o!
the people. The misgivings entertained by
some of his unwilling supporters previous to
his election, have been shown to be without
foundation. lie has proved himself every way
equal to any emergency in which he has been
placed-with judgment, ability, frmness and
energy for every occasion.(O Amidst the
ptris that seemed to threaten our beloved I'm
ion, he has sat calm and cool as he sat astride
of Old Whitley, when the whistng of bullets
made the music that he loved in battle. (c)-
TIE people have found that they have not mis-
taken their favorite, and they delight to honor
the man who has not disappointed them
From every part of the country we see indica-
tons of an enthusiastic rallying to the support
of the administration. (d) Even the Free Soil
ers, bitter as was their opposition acknowledge
that Taylor's plan for the settlement of the
Slavery extension question, is superior TO any
of the proposed compromises. One Free Soil
member of Congress, has declared in favor of it,
and the prospects are, that the wings with few
exceptions will unite in supporting it.(e)
Let the wing members of Congress give to
the administration hearty and efficient sup
port, as il is receiving from the affections of
the people, and the whig forces will show a
phalanx or strength, that will strike dismay to
the divided and discouraged ranks of their en-
emies. We say dirided and discouraged we
speak advisedly. Discord prevails in the coun-
ellis of Locofocoism. The Southern Democrats
openly express their distrus, of the Northern.
And the Northern Democrats are divided
among themselves. Some are Wilmot Proviso
men, and some anti-Proviso. Some are
Hunkers and some Barnburners. Some are for
Cass and others for Buchanan In this State
the division is between the Hamlin men, and
the anti Hamlin men. or i'll other words, the
question is, which faction of the party shall
secure the spoils.
The wings have but one course to pursue
and we do not believe there is a disposition to
follow any other. Union will secure their tri-
umph, and union is what the people expect of
them, and it is equally what inclination leads
them to adopt.
(a) A glorious future indeed Behold
Daniel When was there such total /" dis
ruption of whiggery as is at present visible
throughout the country: But let us hear an
older head than our new prophet hold forth on
this matter. The Boston Courier, whose ,chig-
gerry is undoub,ed, in a recent No, thus " d.
Yulges =
There is rebellion in the camp. The stand
ard of revolt is reared, and rival leaders unfurl
their banners for followers. Mr.. Clay, instead
of quietly working in harness, and coming to
the aid and support of the Administration
avows his contempt for its policy, and announ-
ces grand compromise, with a flourish of
trumpets, which is to supersede all plans for
the settlement of the territorial and slavery
questions. Mr.. Webster fails to recognize an V
virtue in the Administration plan of settle
ment, and lik ewise marks out course for him
self.
Thus We go. What can come of it all, but
dispersion and dissolution, SO far as the Wing
party is concerned -
This readiness, dispersion, aud dissolution is
the glorious future foreseen.

fdence and affections of the people," and that
he has proved " himself every way equal to
any emergency in which he has been placed"
we shall be obliged to extract again from the
Courier. which says ......
The administration has no united and reli-
able party an Congress and ,cithom such a
party it is and must be impo'ent. The leading
men, whose aid and support were confidently
anticipated, have not sustained the President

Now zee wouldn't presume 10 say as much.
Car authority would not avail much-but the
dictum of the old federal Boston Courier is
unimpeaceable.
(e) Why shouldn't he be calm and cool seat
salary, relieved by his Cabinet from all official
duties, only occasionally compelled to sign a
few Land Harrants
(d) Decidedly rich Instead of the enthus-
iastic rallying the part of the people. how
signally have the people, in their popular cleo
tions since the administi alton came into power,
rebuked the fraudulent practices by which the
succeeded. But we shall begin
to think our new friend is badly .'posted up"
with his party papers. We shall have to re-
fresh his memory, or enlighten his mind by
quoting farther. In relation to the permanent
cy of the administration. the New York Courier
and Enquirer, one of Taylor's salaried press,
in desperation is obliged to say thus much -
1.-The Administration will be Frustrated be-
fore the close of its first session. Whether that
be desirable result, we shall leave for the con-
sideration of those by whom it was brought in
to pow er."
Again-thc Providence Journal, federal to
the back bone, declares that "There is no Wing
party in Congress there is no policy marked
out and agreed upon there is no consultation
amorg the Wings, and there can be no efectual
support to the administration"
