10 notice All over the country, in the Wing
press, the exhibition nf the most undoubted
confidence in the course and policy Of The

The support given 10 The Administration ID
not a mere cold, party support; but Il is
warm, .hca r.fei,, and sincere. And this
just tribute isr rendered. by the Wings with
an earnestness and slacrity which bespeak
n determination, =. oil proper times, to re-
vive the good old Wing feeling, and 10 stand
up together, united ia defence Of the prin
ciples which they cherish, aud the mer
who carry cut those principles. The Pres
dent il, indeed, every way worthy OF the
cordial appreciation Of his counirymen.- -
No mnn could have shown himself to better
advantage than he has since his accession
,oshe high office he fills. We believe the
generms nnd anprejudiced Of his politia
opponents admit this. Had he only the
mans Of belonging 70 their party, the,
would be enthusiastic in his praise. Let
the Wings, then, when they have Presl-
dent 30 rnncf entitled to their confidence as
is Mr.. FILLMORE. not be backward or luke
warm in standing BY him and aupholdine
him in all his efforts 10 secure peace, bar

ORIGIN OF THE PHRASE "By Hook OR BY

fire in 1866, in London. during which some
Is, 900 buildings were burned down, 10
very many cases obliterated all the bound
ary marks requisite to determine the ex-
tent of the land, and even the very sites oc-
cnpied by buildings previous to the fro
When the rubbish was removed and the
land cleared, the disputes and entangled
claims Of those whose houses had been de-
stroyed, both as to the position and extent
of their property, promised not only inter
minable occupation to the courts OF law,
hut made the far more serious evil Of de-
laying the rebuilding Of the city, until
these disputes were settled, inevitable
Impeled by the necessity Of coming to a
more speedy settlement Of their respective
claims than could be hoped for from legal
process, it was determined that The claims
md interests Of AL persons concerned
should be referred to the Judgment and
decision Of two Of the most experienced
land surveyors Of that day--men who had
been thoroughly acquainted with London
previous TO the FIRE; aud in order 10 escape
from The numerous. and vast evils which
mere delay must occasion, that the decis-
ion ofthese two arbitrator should be final
aud binding. The surveyors appointed to
determine the rights OF the various claim
ants were Mr.. Hook aud Mr.. Crook, who,
by the justice OF their decisions, gave gen
erall satisfaction 10 the interested parties,
and by their speedy determination Of the
different claims, permitted the rebuilding
Of the city to proceed without the least de-
lay. Hence arose the saying above quo
ted, usually applied to the extrication Of
persons or things from difficulty.
