THE .UNGoN-sAYING" PARTY.

IT, ;e most extraordinary, and worthy OF PaElTu-
meH'' - or the thrty-one governors OF States, the
~ ,s have elected twenty-slx, and will Prooaoy'
ncober next add Pennsylvania to the list, leaving
IL urhss the four governors OF New \ ork, Eeimo"''
mTda and Tennessee. In the Legislatures OF tWen-
me States last elected, the democrats had decided
g;orities the wings retaining only the Legislatures
o. iSe six States of New York, Vermont, Maryland
o. tuckv Tennessee and California, while the free
hI held the balance of power in the Legislatures
sclTS,rnecticut Massachusetts and Ohio, and Goa
o. o. If anti Benton democrats and wings were re-
iOd in Missouri to turn Colonel Benton out of the
fTnteS States Senate, and elect wing Senator in
his place. ,a;.
linn TO which the great wing party of the Union IS
Joced 1t forciby reminds US of what was said OF
the old federal party in the year 1871 At that hme'
that unfortunate party were only enabled to elect one
Governor in the Union viz. Roger Griswold, OF Con
.occut and he was chosen against the regular fed
candidate, John Treadwell, by the combined votes
0f the democrats and dsafected federasts. 1t was,
%arofore remarked by the democratic wags of the
Javt that the IeOeIdIlSlS udO OHIy
ths then eighteen States of the Union. However,
b deralists temporarily recovered from this pros
ration and during the war OF 1879 succeeded IN car
wing about half the States; partial triumph, sue
reeded by defeats which only foreshadowed their fl
nal DOWNFALL soon after the peace of 1915. In like
manner we regarGhe fate of the wing party as sealed,
and their speedy dissolution certain notwithstanding
bev NAV meet with temporary triumphs in isolated ca
cos as in this State and in Tennessee. AS the gal
yanc shock produced by the appeal to arms in 1872
Ioffo ohU ilnd IN re-
sore permanently the paralyzed of the old
federal party, So doubtless, will the wings find that
no mesmersm electricity of measures of public
nolcy or the remnants of military glory, restore
the body of whggery to life and activity, sufficient
TO place the party again in the ascendency in the
nation. -
Are we asked, where the evidences Of the seeds
Of dissolution planted which must destroy the Wing
party Look at the free soilers of those formerly
IeIiabe Wing Observation-Disclosures, Connecticut
and Ohio. Observe, also, the irreconcable quarrels
in the Wing party in Rhode Island, New Jersey,
Delaware Ohio and Kentucky, which have thrown
the executive branch of the State governments into
the hands of the Democrats, and in three of them
caused the elections of Democratic u. S. Senators
and also deprived the Wings of the votes of those
States in the House of Representatives, should the
ensuing Presidential election be brought before that
BODY for final decision. When Cassius Nj. Clay, by
his operaons, defeats the Wing candidate for Gov
erno in kentucky, and the invinclble Ashland dis
iet elects Democrat to Congress in preference to
Leslie Coombs, that long tried friend of IS Harry of
The West;" when Wing Legislature in Rhode
Island elects Democrat TO the u. S. Senate when
all confidence is lost among the Wings of New Jer-
sey, and hope is fled from among them; when the ,
temperance Wings Of Delaware refused to listen to
he voice of John NJ Clayton, and thereby cause the
election of Democratic U. S. Senator; when Mas /
sachusetts elects Democratic Governor, and free
o u. S. Senator, and refuses to sustain Daniel ;
" ebser, where, oh where, ask is the great Wing
,arty TO look for suceorl Will they fall back on
New York, and their political fortunes to the
slippery union of the free soil and silver gray Wings
The dsointed and diapidated condition of The Dem
cratic party, and the present possession of power,
'ocal and financial, may indeed Prolong the exist
nee Of the Wing party in this State for short Pc
iOd but the fate which attends them in other States
must even here overtake them, the Demo-
rats become hungry enough for Office and power to
mite Their forces.''
We ask the Union-saving'' Editor of the Raj r
Ugh Register to read the above and ponder upon it.
