q Unbridled passions riot in excess Once licensed
reasonable bounds can be set to their wickedness
From step to another they eventually plunge into
the shadowy precincts Of desperation. The prn.
eipe extends TO nations They sin. So do political
parties Hence the healthul influence Of parties in free
governments. The Outs ever the look. for
Of complaint against the ms keep the latter under whole
restraint This is the only good office performed
by the Wing party in the United States.
Founded in Federalism, and honest enough o
it, Whggery in the outset repudiated by free
people with unmsakabe demonstrations of detesIaton
Desparing Of gaining TO the public treasury by
legitimate means sailed under false coors. Once
let down from the exalted platform Of principle ayaila
bilty became its test, ana dupcity its efficient
weapon. To distract public attention from the enOrmi
ties of its political sins travelled iacOs. Twice the
trick succeeded. IL is again in masque But the
disguise is too himsy Its deormtes are too palpable
to escape observation The dsgracefal deceptions it
practced n 40 and 43 have rendered notorious the
most careless observer With reckessness eyincing
total dePravity it publicly prOclams that it has Prin

down. Was overweening anxiety for office so un
blushngly manifested! All the cherished principles OF
former years the convictions of the immortal intellect
be laid down the shrine of office Do they de-
clare for Free SoiIisml Gen. Scott swallow the dose
Do they endorse Southern Seeessionissl am ready to
swear by the spirit Of Calhoun. Do they propose

No matter what is be administered me-
myself in readiness 10 submit For twenty long years
have yearned after the Presidency 1t has been the
subject Of my night dreams and day musings. Shall
permit this last opportunity pass by unmproved? II
but render my body up Whiggery and my soul the
Devil, lis all safe I'm resolved-Ill sign the bond
He did sign it, and has by that consigned his last
remnant Of Intellectual independence the sleep that
knows waking" Once abandoned to the tender mer
cies Of that Heterogeneous eongomeraton Of factions
sms, Whggery, that he should 90 further is in accord
to the principle mentioned in the outset Not
satisfied with the declaration that he would stand upon
any platform which might be made for him, he wrote
private letter to member Of the nominating convention
aYowing his adhesion 10 the 6nalty" Of the compro
mses while he at the time encourages the hopes OF
the Free Sellers. How disgusting is this agonizine
longing after the Presidency 1t has been suggested
that the General is in delicate" health We believe
not This IS another trick OF Whiggery sym
pathy. They ask the American people, in view Of the
disastrous physiological results which might attend
refusal to crafty the Generals longing to honor him
this time But that dodge won't win. The people will
ask for additional eyidence-PerhaPs the report OF
mitlee Ol-but matter; time will deveope its appro-
pirate results.

These are the Appearances OF Whggery. Disgrace
ia as they are 10 any party they decetlul appear
and the truth dscloses even greater enormtes
The fact is, Whggery is the same now as il was in th
days Of Adams its APOSTLE the alien and sedon Presi
