events they drew upon themselves the name OF
Tories, and in opposi ION TO tins name, standing,
however partially upon Democratic ground, arose
the party of the Wings. In this party, winch tine

which were desirOus Of acting as the progressive
Democracy, IN opposition 10 the old Democratic
party. Ii Is clear, from It's very origin, that the

mus. remain matter of doubt, so long as that
same Democracy allows the people to be plum
dered by numberess petty concerns and makes
no effort to extend the benefits of the rich mans
credit TO him who possesses nothing.
The reproach that the Wing party wish to
treat the subject of Internal Improvements as a
matter of national concern, is utterly senseless.
That Internal Improvements are an absolute ne
cessity no Democrat will pretend to deny but if
any opposes them on the ground that they
place too great means of corruption in the hands
OF the prevailing party, he should rather take pains
to work against this corruption by his own good
example than 10 offer its possibility as a reason
for opposing the most Just and necessary meas
ures.
I'VE see the fact daily in our own experience,
that ia this Republic, there is no branch Of the
public administration which may not be, and is not
used for the most shameless corruption. C0nse-
quenty the Democracy to be consistent, must
throw OIL all administration and oppose ecery pos
sible appropriation Of the public moneys. Ii
-cCundfelism has gained the upper hand 10 such
an extent, that the welfare OF the people must be

there is certainly great risk in trying the ex-
pertinent, whether the people would be greater
sufferers from this scOundresm than from sys-
tematic negligence Of their most important inter-
ests'
We give one more extract which is well
worth the consideration of all citizens cap
abo of thinking:
In the question of Intervention, also, the
Wings have conducted more honorably than the
Democrats. They have at least openly declared
that the European Revolution has nothing TO ex-
psct from them-while the Democrats, to whom
the Slave power all di ;tates their foreign policy,
have through q cowardly silence, sought 10 raise,
IN plOus souls belief in various possibilities the
carrying out Of which neither has entered nor
will enter their minds Ii should not be forgotten
that Pierce is the champion OF the Shareholders
and that The L0ndOB Times, the trumpet of the
European reaction greets his nomination with
loud applause.
Another point of superiority in the Wing
platform is this, that it does not descend to abuse
OF the opposite party, while the Democratic Con.
yention so far forgot its dignity as to consider
abuse of the Wings as a necessary portion of their
party programme.
Now, in respect to the conduct Of the Wing
party aside from their Convention, it has proved
by its press, that, for the most part it gives no
seyish ale glance to party, and refuses to sacrifice
the dignity and independence of personal convic-
ton to blind party discipline. When The Ner-
fOTk Tribune ',pits' upon the platform OF its
party-tbis may be perhaps'a rude sort Of criti-
cism-but where and when has an organ of the
DE mocratc party exhibited such an independence
