TIE REPUBLIC, THE TRIBUNE. AND
THE WING PARTY.

Tie Republic Washington lately saw fit to
express a hope that Gen. Pierce would appoint
to his Cabinet no member of his own party
who did not belong to the UnonSaying branch
of il. The sagacity evinced in this counsel
(assuming that il was sincere) was so exactly
of piece with The Republics services to the
Wing party during the period of its existence,
that We could not but hope that recent rumOrs
of negotiation for the sale of that journal
were well founded and that il was about to
transfer its allegiance to the rampant De-
mocracy,' in which case We should even yet
cherish hope Of the resuscitation of the
Wing party,--whereupon The Republic to Tae
