The wing Resolutions.
MEssRs. EDITORS The latest promugat of the
creed, or Confession of Faith of the whig party of
Indiana, was made by the members Of the Legisla-
ture belonging to that party, shor, time previous
to the close of the late session. The resolutions
adopted so mealy, so pleasant and so palatabe,
that body would hardly suppose that hereafter but
Ter would melt in wings mouth. Why, at this rate,
whgism is getting to be more Loco-:ocoish than Lo-
CO. focoism itself.
A bad memory is misfortune TO anybody-more
especially to political leaders-and our good wing
friends have forgotten the faith of their fathers,
propose refreshing their memories in few pnrtic-
ulsrs.
Every body remembers the hurricane of 1910, when
the wings had every thing their way-holding
in their own hands the Executive. Judicial and Legis
ative authorities OF the State They had quorum
of both branches of The legislature, and could have
transacted business if every poor Loco FOco, Chats
what they called 'em,) who survived the tempest had
gone home to his constuents--aDd many insult
would the poor fellows have escaped if they had done
so. Whggery was rampant-whiggery struiied like
cock dunghill. Then the time for whig-
gerry to show its hands, and it did so.
In that Legislature were men who then were, and
now are leaders of the party such Samuel
Judah, Caleb B. Smith, John A. Matson, Samuel Bren-
ton, Thomas d. walpole. Thomas Bowling, John B.
Howe, WIN. nj. Rayburn, and John D. Defrees md
under the leadership of such men, they placed upon
record. upon the Journals Of the Legislature these
declarations of wing principles.
First, Of National Bank.
BE it resolved by the General Assembly Of the
State of Indiana that the establishment of National
Bank, with such capital, and with such power, and
under such restrictions will render il a safe and
Onvenient instrument for the receipt, keeping and
disbursement Of the public money and as will enable
it 10 afford safe and convenient paper currency,
well moderate ond regular system of domestic

eminent, and PROPER and EXPEDlENT."
| So much for the Bank. and then of course they
gave the SubTreasury regular sockdologer, in this
wise BE IT resolved that Senators in Congress
and Representatives. be requested procure, If poSsi-
be- by their exert ms, at early day may be in
their power. a repeal of bill passed OF the last
sion of Congress of the United States, known
the Independent Treasury bill"
Then came the subject of distributing the proceeds
Of the public lands. which they disposed e as fullows
\ THAT We recommend an immediate separation OF
the proceeds of the sale of the public lands from the
other revenues of the government, and that the
be distributed, after deducng the expense of selling
the same among the several States. similar in its
provisions, to Mr.. Clays land BILL" &c.
Such were whig principles when whiggery had no
concealments, when the leaders of the party dare
openly and honestly their principles. Have
they charged! Have they progressed J! or, do they
still hold 10 these doctrines, and fear to promulgate
them
federalism is Federalism, by whatever name you
call !" and hope the Democracy of the State will
hold them to the ISSUE The Wings will MAJ des-
perate effort to carry the Convention and the next
Legislature. They may succeed, but If they do, let
il be upon the issues between the PARTIES and
not upon such issues they may deem polite for the
time 10 make Let no man be deceived
