The WING Policy.


egates; but that, in consequence of the recommenda
tions of the Democratic State Central Committee, it
must be done in self-defence.
The issuing Of the Circular of the Democratic State
Central Committee, seemed like the bursting of a
bomb-shell in the whig camp The Wing members
of the Legislature in their caucus, at the close
of the last session. thought they had everything ar
ranged least whig majority in the next
Legislature if nos majority in the Convention We
have been told and the Democratic State Central Com
mittee apprised, that this matter had been fully
discussed in the whig caucus. and that deter
mined to secure, by some means, at least majority
in the Legislature, in order to Wing United
States Senator. The strong whig counties were to
bring out candidates. on party grounds, and the doubt
fu counties arrange their tickets, as to Sc
cure the election of members of the Legislature.
Many were of the opinion that their resolutions
ingeniously got up and so well seasoned with
democracy that the wbiggery therein contained would
be easily swallowed by unsuspeciing democrais-con-
shutting a platform that would carry them safely
through the election.
The Indiana State Journal, publishing these res
outions unfolded in the following article. the whole
plan of the wings in this summers campaign. Hear
this editor who is well acquainted with all their
rangemens
1.-The resolutions adopted at the whig meeting on
Wednesday night and published in to-day's paper,
of the right stamp and express believe, the
real sentiments of very large majority OF the people
of this State We ask our whig friends throughout
the State to give them very general circulation. for
by whomsoever read, they cannot fail giving univer
sal satisfaction because they advocate the true Amer
lean doctrine upon every question upon which they
treat
"To our mind, the positions taken in them i'm
pregnable to all the assaults which opponents may
be disposed make, and if they be advocated by
friends with the proper energy they must receive the
appreciation Of the people al The election of delegates
to the Contention and Of Members of the nert Legis
Ldture.
No more important State election has ever occurred
than that which will take place next August. One
hundred and ftty delegates to The State Convention,
hundred Representatives, and eighteen SenaOrS,
10 be chosen. In making selections of candidates
for all hose stations, hope our friends will, IN every
instance bring the most popular, able, and true
A great deal depends upon such course. Let
IL be adopted early and there can be no doubt about The
result"
We invite any of our Democratic friends, who have
the least disposition to listen to whig paaver about
no-party, in State Convention. TO carefully read
the above article. published at time when the editor
not dependant on his unaded resources, and
liable he frequently is to make bunders, but when
he had the advice of caucus of all the whig men,
bers of the Legislature to aid him unfolding the
plans Of his party. We have heretofore reviewed
the whig resolutions and exhibited the intended de-
ception of the wings in putting them forth. 1t is too
late in the day for democrats to be caught mapping.
Wing promises in the Democratic market worth
less commodities. Many have been deceived in the
election of General yor that will be deceived
with soft words again. The whg resolutions were
thrown gull Democrats, after the manner of
the promises of General Taylor, and if the head of
party has proved himself unworthy of confidence in
making pledges be fulfilled, how trust
the small fry politicians Of the party, having
such a striking example of violated faith constantly
before their eyes!
We now tell the Democrats Of the State that-ihere
is no confidence TO be placed in wing professions,
when they say that the election of Delegates should
not be made party question. The language usually
used s that none but the ables, purest and best
should he selected, and many Of them, like Wayne
county whig editor, point out ticket for their county
like this: James Rariden John S. Newman, Solomon
Meredith, &c., without mentioning Democrat
amongst them. We must recolec,, by the way, that
old Wayne is not exactly what she used to be.
The time wds and that but recently, when the wings
of Wayne would have been open-mouthed for a full
ticket. Their whiggery is somewhat modified
and hence they now say--give US our able and well
qualified men-that their old maxim, that they pos
''a the talents and all the decency," will carry
them through for it is often that whig will ad-
nit that democrat is qualified for any Office. Now,
to prove the intentions of whiggery to be different
from the professions in their resolutions have
ly to call attention to the that beginning
be designated by the wings candidates for the Cn-
vention We see them, in most instances, to be COM
posed of the most ultra fcdeaists-n many instances
who belong to another age, who opposed to
progress in government and welded to the insti-
tutions of another country, and who glory in Eng
lsh ancestry, particularly far jurisprudence
is concerned. II would be singular stroke of party
policy, to be permitted in Democratic Indiana, if
large number of broken down whig politicians, of
such anquaed notions to have been laid upon the
shelf should suffered themselves into the
