What are the Wings Contending For

The " hlgs are contending for inner
te"@ industry md the dsce/o pment otMe
resources Of our own counry,--Thev
wish to establish a policy which shall
lead us to make those fabrics ourselves
which We now obtain from abroad;
which shall uphold the industrial pur-
suits OF our own citizens, and not aim al
supporting those of other countries, and
which shall enable our manufactures
and all persons dependent upon them to
compete with foreign labor. The
W higS contend for these objects; while
Franklin Pierce and his party are oppo-
sing them. They believe that the i'm
menSe deposits of coal, iron, lead and
copper IN the United States are worthy
of being worked, because American la
Dor will thus be paid, and American
capital rewarded. They feel that this
Is OF more Importance TO the coal digger,
and the iron worker than the policy
that would obtain d these articles from
England, and thus neglect our own re-
sources. 1t appears to them more reas-
enable and more patriotic to develop
the resources Of our own land than to
assist in accomplishing the prosperity
OF others. Franklin Pierce and his par
ty think differently, and call upon the
community to uphold policy that is
building up English interests that is re-
wardlng foreign labor, that is develop
ing the resources Of other lands.
For Mteguni improvement. They
feel that the improvement of the navi-
CATION Of our rivers for purposes of in
trrnal commerce aud facilities of inter-
course is proper object for the Govern
ment to undertakes; that the improve
ment of our lake harbors is important
to the growth and expansion Of the
Western States, and that whatever en-
riches one part enlches the whole: and
that railway communications opened by
Government means will facilitate the
settlement of the waste lands of the
country, connect the different parts of
the nation together, and increase the
prosperity OF every section. They con-
tend for all these objects; while Frank
lin Pierce and his party are opposed to
them.
For the eleration Of tie people, soci-
ally, intellectually and reltgiously. The
Wings are in favor of those measures
that will preserve the nation at peace;
that will keep it from encroaching upon
its weak neighbors; that will keep down
the immoral effects of the spread OF the
lust OF conquest; that will turn the at
tentlon of the community from the in
crease of dominions abroad, to the pro-
ducton OF the greatest amount of hap
piness and good from the territories we
now possess; and that will make Us an
upright and educated people. The ten
dency Of the measures of our opponents
is the other way.
For the pcrpetuation Of the Union
md the Constitution. To accomplish
this most desirable object, the Wings
are opposed to all sectional differences

or agitatlons. They appreciate the
blessings of the Union, and realize the
value of the Constitution, and will do
their utmost endeavors to preserve and
perpetuate both.
FinaI}y, tile Wigs are contendiag
for u mam rho has been fighting for MS
country for forty yenrs. They wish to
elevate to the supreme power a man
who has done more for the nation than
any other living MANTLE deserves it
from their hands. He deserves the re.
wards which his grateful countrymen
are about bestowing upon him. There
will beno hesitation IN giving him these
rewards.

DESPERATE INDIAN FIGHT. The Aus

the goth ult., has the official account OF
Capt Owen Shaw, of the Texas han
gers, directed to the Governor of Texas,
Of severe fight between hio command
and party Of Indians. The despatch
is dated Camp Bee, 10 miles above
Laredo, Sept. 22.' The fight took
place on the 18th.
The Indians numbered nineteen men
and two women, Of this number but
one certainly escaped. Nine were kill
ed on the ground, and the remainder
desperately wounded. Twenty three
horses and mules, with saddles, Mexi.

the articles captured. The rout of the
enemy was completely disastrous. One
horse wounded, was the only damage to
his command.

Mr., Eduor:-Wth all the proof that
has heretofore been advanced, there are
yet some who profess to believe that
Gen. Scott is Roman Catholic. We
for one, would not prescribe a man for
his religious opinions but allow every
one to enjoy the privilege of attaching
himself to any denomination he choose,
but here is letter from the Rev.
Smith Pyne, Pastor of St. Johns
Church, W Washington City. which must
convince all who can be convinced, that
this charge is false, and only gotten up
for political purposes. d.

ton. hope, then, that these eleven
years Of official relation will give some
weight to my positive contradiction Of
the rumor to which you advert in your
letter. | know that General Scott is
much attached to the Protestant E pisco-
pal church. know that nothing but
the most imperious necessity ever pre-
vents his attendance upon the worship
OF that church on every returning Lords

how admirable an example he gives of

The Locofocos are spreading before
the people the amount of money re-
ceived by General Scott since he enter
ed the Army Of the United States. Trey
say he has received 100000 dollars
All the money Scott ever received he
obtained from the people for his labors,
services and wounds in the cause of his
country. He never received dollar
dlshonestly untairly Or illegally. He
is now living in the same way he did
when he entered the Army, on the pay
he receives from the Government. He
is not rich, and has nothing but his pay
Tor the subsistence of himself and his
family.
General Jackson fought three battles
and received upwards Of 800 900 dol airs
from tn. Government. General Scott
fought eleven battles and has received
100000. General Armstrong of 1.-THE
Washlnton Union,' has received at
least 100000 dollars from the Govern
ment.--General Lewis Cass has receIv-
ed upwards of 30l.DOJ dollars. jam IS
Buchanan has received between so, 900
and 10000, although he never rendered
any service to either State or Nation.
Martin Van Buren, has received upwards
of 100000 dollars. Considering the
amount, and the nature of the services
he has rendered, General Scott has re.
ceved less public money than any emf
