Wing Corruption Confessed by Wings.

The ablest and most influential whig jour-
nails of that minority section of that party
in New York are loud and vehement in their
denunciations of the corrupt policy in which
the wings forced their nine million canal
loan through the legislature in defiance of
the constitution and they condemn still
more unsparingly the foul and desperate
spirit in which the orignators and authors of
that "scheme Of plumber and villany" now
assail the supreme judiciary of the State for
crushing it. We copy some remarkable par
agraphs on this point from Mr.. Fillmore's
home organ, the Albany State Register

Empire State, and through that State made
mark broad and deep on the wing policy of
the whole country:
"We regard this denunciation on the part
of the Journal of the court of appeals as one
of the most atrocious attempts ever perpe-
trated, to embroil the judiciary in the strifes
partisan feeling, and to involve its very ex-
istence as an element of political controversy.
Hitherto the judiciary has been regarded as
secure from the assaults of the press-as too
far removed from political bias-too pure to
| be swayed by considerations of party preju-

f of their high duties-true to the lofty be.
