What will the Wings do now.

For the last three years, the Wings have
been lau9ably employed in fomenting tie
dscord that had previously existed in the
Democratic party-to-day encouraging one
party, tomorrow the other-watching with
keen eye the ascending Of the one or the
other party, as chance might tip the balance.
But ''alas, poor Yorick!" they are cut short
that pleasure. They have fondly INDUCED
in hopes that are never 10 be realized. All
the differing dreams of power and place
which hay. dszzled their visions, are dis
pelledlikc the morning mist before the rising
sun. They must now return to their old
vocation, in which we wish them as much
happiness as they deSerpe.- metropolitan,
Hunger is the great tanner of wild beasts,
and it seems from the tone Of the Demo
cratic press since the late convention at JEFF
fcrson, that it is the most effcctual instr,-
r.ent Of allaying the sharpest political ami
mosities. Never did party strife prevail
with more virulence, or with louder protest
atoms of adherence to principle, than be-
tween the two factions of the democratic
party in this State. The most opprobrious
epithets, the most disgusting appellations
and accusations of corruption, were heaped
upon each other by their respective leaders.
Not satisfied with characerisng each other
as the vilest of political parties, the division
was declared TO extend to social intercourse,
and it even went SO far as to exhibit itself in
physical violence. Their differences were
declared, by themselves, to concern the
highest interest Of the country-"above all
party" affecting not only the prosperity, but
the very existence Of our government
They declared that they preferred Wing
for any office of trust or res possibility in the
Government, to one Of the opposite faction,
and each wing Of the party has made good
these declarations by directly aiding in pa-
cling two wings in our national Legislature.
Yet we are now told that "a glorious union
has beer effected" that 1.-THE party is puri-
fed fron! its excresences." Have nulliti-
ers and tree-soilers, as in the Congress Of
the Z. s., discovered something more i'm
portant than their differences; something
more to be desired than the highest inter.
ests Of their country; something that will
throw down the ''high wall, :" and fill up the
deep ditch" which has so long divided
them? Come, gentlemen, tell Us what it is
You make no confession Of your errors
each party claims 10 stand OIL the SAINT
ground as formerly. What
'FellOw-feeIing makes SO wondrous kndi"
Is the country in more danger than wher
these rivalries ragged with their utmos
power? Why were you divided when dis
union threatened our country, and when thu
day of danger is past, SO ready 10 unite?-
Come, your reasons, gentlemen, your rea
sons.
But 1.-The Wings have been laudably en-
gagged in fomenting the discard that had pre-
viously existed in the Democratic party
Throughout the contest the wings uniio. m
declared that they took par, vat nellhe
faction, although sedu.ousy coarted b
both. When both of you declared that W
were better than yonr opponents, we b'
lieved you to be honest in your declaration
