Wbir No-Partyism.


I vaunts ofthe Wing party, with their at
tempts to destroy the present political as s
sociations of the country. In one breath
they boast themselves of certain tn
umph in the coming election, and IN the
next, they deprecate the continuance OF
the existing party combinations-as If the
people were silly enough to credit their
professions of anxiety to drop their pre-
sent organization, did they not suppose that
by it they could get into office: Every
body knows that the secret of Wing pro-
LESSONS of no-partyisns, lies in the con-
seriousness of their weakness, Like rats,
they stick to the old tenement in which
, they have taken shelter, until they dis
covered its crumbling condition (; but now
that they begin to feel its Fastening de-
cay, they desert it precipitately. The re-
suit Of the recent elections in the country
has forced the conviction upon the Wing
party that they are mere faction OF the
nation, and that to continue as they are,
will be to endure eternal Punishment from
the Joys and raptures OF office. Never
was the popular rejection of any system
of political principles, so signal as the
overthrow Of that system protested by the
Wing party. Indeed, in noinstance have
the people ever signi6ed their approba-
ton of Wing principles, The election of
TAYLOR, was the triumph, not of whiggery,
but of no partyiSn; and the election of
Harrison was the triumph of fraud and
deception over popular credulity. In
1914, the people wreaked their vengeance
on the impostor party which so grossly
abused their confidence and in 1859,
they will in like manner administer retri-
butiye justice to the same ,sscheming,
skulking, perfdious band The recent
elections have in every instance but one,
resulted in the success of the Democratic
party. Pennsylvania achieved the first
victory, Ohio followed, California echoed
back from the distant Pacific the exulting
shout which assembled from the shores of
/ the Atlantic Virginia remained true to
her ancient faith, Maryland, old Federal
/ MARYLAND was no sooner liberated from
the restraints of an aristocratic Constitu-
ton, than she too ranged herself under
the banner of Democracy New York in
like manner defeated the corrupt coalition
of varicgated whiggery, which conquered
but to plumber her; and now the news
reached us that even Massachusetts, the
stronghold of federalism, has renowned
the false religion by which she has so
long been led astray. These repeated
and illustrious triumphs of Democracy,
have spread dismay in the ranks of the
enemy, and have convinced him of his
folly in presuming to confront the people
with his black banner of political here
sizes. The man must be more blind than
the bat who does not see the game the
Wings arc playing. They fancy their
stratagem is wondrous cute and deep,
but the whole country understands it.
They profess no-partyiSm, because they
know that the Wing party is beaten,
ruined, annihilated. But the people can
not be deceived. The memory of 1910
and 40 is vet fresh and green. Every
school-boy can tell how in 1910, the
Wings swore in sight of Heaven, that
their cherished measures were abandon
ed forever, and how, after by this artiticc
they had crept into Office, they dclibe-
rately violated their oaths and revived the
very schemes they had pretended to re-
nouncc. 1t seems as but yesterday that
the cars of the nation were delighted with
professions of catholic libcrality, volunta
rily rendered by the Wing party. Could
| TAYLOR but be elected, a sort of political
millennium was to reign on earth-thc
contentious and strifcs and rctaliative
prescriptions OF parties were 10 cease
TAYLOR aras elected and what became of
Wing promises Falsifcd, bascly falSl-
fed While the grateful assurance of no
prescription was still cchoing through the
country, the guiIlotine was erected, and
blood began to flow. The people were
BETRAYED in 1848-thcy trusted to Wing
pledges and were deceived. The noble
army of martyrs, who fell in the peaceful
era, the era of ploughshares and pruning
hooks, will rise up in condemnation of the
Perfdous party.
But the Wings, incredible as it may
seem, are striving to repeat the treachcry.
Again they have raised the nO-p0ry cry.
We know they think the people little bet
ter than asses, but this attempt of theirs
presumcs a degree of popular stupidity
surprising even Wing estimate of popu-
lar delusiOn. The people will not be
again deceived The Wings have ex-
( hausted their round of fictitious charac-
tiers, and their store of masquerade dress
es. No matter what their professions,
their pretences, their promises, their
oaths, the people will not trust them
/ They can assume no disguise in which
the cloven foot will not be exposed, and
/ can make no professions which any man
will trusts. S. Dem.
