From the Courier and Enquirer June 25.l
Tis bad enough to bolt but it is worse TO dodge.
There is degree OF manliucss about the one
nothing but utter cowardice about the other On
Tuesday morning last, the 1TtJuae ycIemently
denounced and unqualiGedly resndiated the whig
platform of principles. The act was factious. but
still was redeemed, in measure, by its boldness
We animaiverted upon it with earnestness, but
without acrimony, and showed that principles are
the very elements Of the being Of the whig party
that those principles, without losing any Of their
essential worth, must frequently be wrought into
new shapes by the conservative spirit Of the party
IN order to suit the circumstances and wants of the
times-that THU can only be done by the organized
sA.:On OF the party through its reprosensiycs-an
That it is a matter Of supreme concern 70 the
WING party to know whether the principles just set
forth in this regular and only mode are, are not.

facts that the prevailing distinctive spirit OF the
wing party is conservative and that of the Tribune
iBnoyating, and that the three most comprehensive

are altogether repudiated by the Tribune, while the
