The Prospect.

The Prospect.
There has hardly ever been time when
the prospects of the Wing Party were better
than at present We have that very impor-
iant assistance, with all its various advantages,
Wing Administration, which, BY the COM
prehensive scope Of its policy, the wise and
firm adherence which it gives TO the princi
pies upon which the government was eStab-
lished, the unyielding integrity with which it
plants itself upon and adheres to the compro-
misses of the Constitution, the entire freedom
which it exhibits from narrow-mlndedness and
sectional prejudice, and the firm and sei-sac-
rifcing spirit which it manltests in trying to
sustain republicansgovernment, and the ar
duous and eifectual efforts which it puts forth
10 restrain sectional entertainments and ami
mosities. is commanding the respect not only
of the Wings, bat those opposed 10 us in po-
litical policy. We find daily evidence that the
Wing party all over the country are growing
more and more united, and feel more like act
ing together as Wings. The prominent men
in every portion of the nation, and in every
little community begin TO feel as if it was about
time 10 refrain fiom elimination and recrimina-
tion among those who should act together as
brothers, and to endeavor to labor together for
the common good of our common country
There is abundant evidence that when a man
hereafter shall be proposed for place of hon
or, or trust, the question whether he belongs
to this or that wing, clique, clan or subdivision,
will all be merged in the great question, sis
he an able and honest Whig1' "Will he
labor for the good of his country, the interests
of his fellow citizens, the perpetuity of repub-
can institutions and the good of mankind I"
as he firm and unyielding patriot who will
labor for the good of all, the rights of all, and
who will be just 10 all y
With party thus united and uniting, and
having its principles founded upon the true
policy for the success of the country, all we
need is energy and activity, to secure a ma
iority in the national councils, and redeem our
selves from the paralysis into which locofoco
domination has partially thrown US. There
are enough Wings in the United States, if
they will but work with that untring zeal
which characterizes our political opponents, TO
secure to US handsome majority, and admin
lister the government in a manner which shall
make this nation constantly active and pros
porous, without being interrupted BY the occa-
sional checks and stagnation inierposed by Lo-
cofoco domination.-Bath Tribune, 10Th inst.
From the above and smiler articles tina,
have recently appeared in the columns of the
Tribune, it would seem that our neighbor is
determined TO make it out that the prospects o.
the universal whig party" were never bright
er than at this identical moment. What the
peculiar indications are that lead to the adop.
ton of such an idea, the editor does not con.
descend to inform US. 1t is sufficient for us tc
know that such is the fact. Whether this in
formation is original with the Tribune man.
OF whether it was copied from some other
whig journal, also remains profound mystery.
We would not be so unkind as TO gainsay the
sentiment without investigation, and as our
neighbor has invited this, we will just examine
few authorities upon the subject, in doing
which we may be obliged to rely somewha,
upon whig aid. Let US glance at our neigh
boris statements first He says ave have
that very important assistance, with all its va
rious advantages, Wing Administration,
which, by the comprehensive scope of its poll
cy, &C., &c. the unyielding integrity with
which it plants itself upon and adheres to the
compromises Of the Constitution, and the ar
duous anG effectual efforts which it puts forth
to restrain sectional encroachments and ami
mosities, is commanding the respect not only
oflhe wings, but those opposed to US in politi-
ical policy
"eh' now, as TO the administration being
wing ana as to its having taken good stand
l" ieiduon 10 the Compromise, no one will de-
ou' mnefe' we ask, is the whig party that
1t is to afford such assistance to. Is there a
vestige OF 1t IN Mainel The Is,J;,a ~
journals OF our State that have been sacrificed

there is not New Hampshire is in Tho -
category. Can the whig party of old feder,,
Massachusetts,, even, derive anv very im,or.
tant assistance from the repudiated Webs,e,
administration And Vermont, too-it can.
not be denied that there is whig party there
and in the ascendancy too, but whether its in
famous notification law is calculated to "re
strain sectional encroachments and auimos.
ties,' and whether wing compromise admin.
istration is capable of rendering it much assis.
lance, is not the most difficult question to de.
side. Rhode Island stands on good compro-
promise ground, but it was necessary to re.
deem her from whiggery before she could be
put right.
The fact is-and it is most remarkable and
significant one-that not a solitary ohig STATE
