A QUESTION IN NATURAL HISTORY. u This
question is, What are Democratic Wings? 1t
is reported that at late meeting of Union
Wings, recently held in Philadelphia, in favor
of the election of Col John Swift for Mayor of
that city, David Paul Brown made speech, in
which he said, al defy anybody to tell me what
Democratic Wing means. l will give a pre-
MUM to any one who can inform me. 1 am a
Federalist, and there is such thing as Demo
crat; but Democratic Wing is between horse
and an ass, partaking of the qualities Of both"
He must therefore be mule but which party
is the horse, and which the ass? Mr.. Brown
should have explained this, that the betwfxter.
may know which way to move. The man VIII,
at this day proclaims himself Federalist mus
have some blind, sullen stubbornness abou
him, such as is generally imputed to one Q
these animals; yet far be it from us to intimat
that the eloquent Mr. Brown is an ass. Eve
Dogberry would not have him thus writte
down. But the identity of that animal is Away
best established after he has "ope'd his mout
to speak ~ There are some old Federalists i
the Democratic party; but they profess con
version---a total change Of heart or principles
and no doubt sincerely. To "assume virtu
if you have it not does not accord with M
Browns notions of right or policy, though v
think his party in general would prefer b
doing so.

NEW York BAEKs.-The Herald Of yester-

tain quarters, to bring into dsrepute certain
banking institutions in the State of New York
No alarm should be felt, by people at dis

banks. The circulation of most of them is Sc
cured by the pledge Of public stocks; and if
they suspend tomorrow, their bills will be Just
as valuable as they would be in case of no sus-

MONEY FOR ELECTION PURPOSES Gree
ley, Of the Tribune, understands political ethics
and we should, therefore, consult him on all
important points Touching the interference Of
Office holders in elections, he says "There are
Legitimate, honest election expenses to be
borne by somebody, and VIC don't see who can
be asked to contribute them with better
grace than those who hold desirable Offices by
the ascendency of the party in whose behalf
contributions are asked; and we hold the
oficc-holder who wouldn't freely and cheer
fully contribute fair and reasonable sum for
proper election purposes consummate sneak,
who ought not to have an office at all" We
believe that no paper of either party would
have avowed this approval ten years ago.

"Thus," the Herald remarks, sit would seem
that over $4,000 are nightly spent by the
good citizens of New York, in the mental plea
sures which music and the drama afford to all
possessed of mind and soul"
"Mind and soul' must be expensive articles
in New York Ten thousand nightly, or nearly
the rate of three and half millions annually,
flor that city has its Sunday night amusements,
too,) is pretty good price for the qualification
of "mind and soul" We hardly suppose the re-
ligion Of the people costs SO much.
