pa,U, whose name is stuck at the TOP
of the Dispatch, gets for making Shin
Plaster currency, and helping it to cir
culale by abusing the currency Of the
country. The Dispatch had really go'
SO near the bottomless pit of forgetful-
ness and neglect; and as Prentice says;
Like Sleeps tail, its tendency was
still downwards,' that it creates no little
surprise up this way, to see how soon
the Board of Public Works have resurec-
ted it. X is quite evident from the a.
mount of troth and foam it belchcs out
in the last number, against Gen. Taylor,
and the universal Wing party, and the
rest Of mankind, that Boarc Of the p. w.
and ex-Pres;dent, have not only placed
the thing upon its feet, but have breathed
into its nostrils the breath Of life; un-
fortunately, this ,oondeyul prodigy
partakes Of the same temper, and dispo-
sition of its illustrous sires. Hence its
breath is not only feted and poisonous,
but belches forth misrepresentation and
falsehoods without number. In support
of the charge we thus boldly make a.
gainst the Dispatch, we copy the edi-
torial, headed ga fer plain Dords:"
"Never before in the course of our
political history has there been an ex-
preston OF public sentiment, more clear
and unmistakeable, than that which we
read every where, in The opinions of the
press and the "signs of the tines "a
gainst the present administration under
the conduct of the once popular and well
defined wing faction. Since Gen. Tay-
lor's Inauguration every State election
has been against them, many Of their
new prints have revolted and government
patronage hardly maintains respecta-
bic show of allegiance in the few which
still labor to stand by them. The admin
istration has not party Of influential
adherents in Congress, far less credit
able minority of friends and apologists
throughout the nation. Clay and Web
ster have repudiated the sect which in
Congress and in popular ASSEMBLIES has
publicly given itself to the congregation
of factionists, ultraists and freesoilers.-
The leading independent presses makes
no secret Of their opposition to the weak
noncommittalism of the President and
the present ill-concealed aims of whig-
gerry"
Where ye false witness, do you gather
your knowledge OF "public sentiment
from. Is it not from presses like your
selves, devoid of principles and which
if by chance they occasionally stumble
upon the truth, they stand aghast with
wonder and establishment at themselves!
Is it not from papers. who like yourself
have grown lean and lank in laundering
after the Public Printing, the almighty
flesh pots of Egypt? as well might you
look for virtue in the father of lies, as 10
look for the truthful reflection of the
sentiment of the American people. in re-
lation 10 the character, and the admins
tration of the noble patriot and sagacious
statesman, now SO ably filling the Presi.
dental chair, in the bitter end press the
sewers of political filth. "Whig faction"
indeed. The most stupid man in the
Nation knows, that the Wing party is
the only great national party in this
country. -
They are united, North and South,
East and West; Clay and Webster, the
noble Wing champions, upon whose
heads those vile, time-serving presses
have poured out, not walls of wrath, but
of vituperation, falsehood and calumny,
differ slightly with the Administration on
one single subjeci, thatof the settlement Of
the Slavery questions; upon every other
great question of Policy, dividing the
parties, they are with the President and
the Wing party. Mr.. Clay says he is
a friend to the President; Mr.. Webster
has made two able speeches, recently in
the Senate in vindica,ion of the Presi-
den, from the foul and slanderous char
ges of Locofocos in relation to removals
from office, and the Cuban Expedition.
Is this the evidence upon which you
found your false assertion; that Clay
and Webster, shave repudiaied" the
President and the Wing party? How
many prominent Locofocos are there in
Congress, and out Of it who differ with
your immortal Michigander, General
Cass. Is it possible that they have all
SO soon ..repudiated' him and Locofoco-
ism, which you hold as Identical! Do
