Although the faces of some of the wings

denominated BARRIERS, certain wing editors take
defeat and ruin with exceeding good nature
The following whig jokes are good =

The RoUT OF THE WIG PARTY.-We
make the following extract, says The N. Y.
Tribune, from a private letter of coincidence

the people should have paid so little attention
to the many good things that you and and
all of us have said during the campaign,--and
that 100000 copies Of the Life Of Scott
should have had no other effect than to give
Pierce % States out of 80. Nevertheless,
we may as well take il quietly as Socrates
