Whereas, the time is rapidly approaching when
the battle between the Wing and Democratic par
ties is to be fought and the question decided as to
who is to preside the destinies of this nation
for the next four years-and whereas, the Wing
party of this county, instead of being dispirited
by defeat and broken down by disasters, are en-
dued with new life and energy, to battle in de-
fence of the great principles dear to the heart
of every true Wing; and whereas, we believe
that upon the of those time honored prin-
cipes. depend, not only the prosperity of our
country at home and its peace abroad, but the ve-
ry existence of free Institutions and hence the
destiny of free principles the world Overland that
to ensure success in the approaching Presidential
contest, union and harmony in our ranks are alb
solutely ecessary-therefore,

ton.

pretext powerful people it was our duty 10
right the wrongs of all the rest of mankind.

and safety. aud Mon Intervention" with the af-
fairs of European powers, as essential to our Ma
tionaty and Independence. and regarding these
questions as constituting two of the main pillars
of the Wing platform, of paramount importance
in the coming contest. we can support no candi-
date who is not in favor of the first and fixed in
his opposition the novel aud dangerous and start
ling doctrines lately advocated in the Senate OF
the United States and at public teasts given IN
honor of Louis kossuth by distinguished mem
bers, and prominent Presidential candidates of the
Democratic party.
Z. Resolved That in the administration OF
Willard Fillmore we have seen every thing to
approve and found nothing to condemn, and while
we should be gratitied at the continuation of pow
err in hands so safe, patriotic, and we'll tried. yet
we hold that our allegiance is due to principles,
and not to men, aud that we owe much to our
friends in other States, who will cooperate with
us in carrying out those principles, and without
whose aid we are helpless and powerless, and that
we will therefore give united and active sup
port to any candidate who may be identified with
the principles of the Wing party, that may prove
mination of the Wing National Convention.

The city is infested with rogues and beogars.
Pass into the streets when you may your footsteps
are logged by juvenile beggars, in the shape of
bluff, checked little Children whose physical
appearance indicates any thing else than state
OF starvation at home. But, like the horse leech
they are ever asking for more. Alas for the pa
rents ofthese poor little children-if indeed tina.
being Is worthy the name of parent who sends its
helpless offspring into the streets to beg, and nj
timately to steal. A fearful reckoning is theirs.
On their heads will cluster the crushing curses of
their errlng offspring. These little mendicants
begin lie as street beggars and end their career
on the glbbet, as burglars and murderers As all
evidence of the progress in crime of these little
beggars, permit us to relate case which occurred
az day or two since at the residence of gentleman,
In Franklin street. Whilst sitting in his office, he
saw a white lad approach the door of his resi-
dence; curiosity induced him to watch the lads
movements AS soon as the boy gained the porch,
he cautiously looked around, and having become
satisfied that no human eye was upon him, seized
costly mat lying in the porch, and hurried off
with It, The gentleman directed one of his servants
to pursue and capture the boy. This direction be-
ing complied with, the young rogue was brought
before the gentleman, when he in the most hui
name manner pointed out the nature of the crime
he had committed and the inevitable fate which
awaited him unless he {" cleansed his wavs.u-
After administering a suitable lecture, the gen.
tleman told him to depart--that although he had
committed an offence which would warrant him
in handing him over to the tender mercies of the
law, yet he would not pursue that course, because
he trusted this was his first and would be his kse
offence. How did the young scape-grace receive
this wholesome advice, and what return did he
make the gentleman for his leniency and forbear-
ance! We will tell you, good reader Whilst
in the immediate presence of the gentleman he
maintained sullen, logged, insolent silence; but
as soon as he reached the street, he uttered the
most horrid imprecations against the citizen,
threatened to stone him to death if he dared to
show his face in the street, &C. The hardened
little sinner-whose name is Brummell-was
handed over to the police. and yesterday appeared
before the Mayor. After hearing the evidence
his Honor committed the lad to Jail to await trial
for the offence of stealing the mat before the Hus-
tngs Court.
