Dead as . Door Nail.

The philosopher who controls the editorial
colums of the New York Triduae, frankly admits
that the Federal Whtg party has positively Civ
en- up the ghost We give the facts ia his own
words
I'VE consider the Wing party not only defeat
Ell, but an lone We cIn contemplate lis history
with all the phiiosoph5c cdRdor that could
bring To bear on the history of the English War
OF the Il ,srs or the rise and fall uf the Grond-
lists in Revolutionary France. We believe that
the nniy effect of keeping up the Wing organiza,
ton ani stand ri is the Pcrpetuation OF abuses
and iuqultics lik those NOW Rampant in the
government of eur city. As nurses appeal 10
certan fabulous dweilers in darkucss as a 9uie-
tus to troubles me children, the Wing party
will lie used, while IT holds together as scare
crow aud an instrument fd.scip.uc by the lead
ers AMI fuslemeu OF the Sham Democracy. They

leading strings BY playing uprn their hopes of
Office and spos, or their fears OF being thrown
into power esa aud unpopular minority
We give Mr.. GREELEY credit for once lie has
told the unvarn, shed truth. We thank him for.
the candid admission of the fact that the only
effect of keeping up the Wing organization aud
standard, is the perpetuation of abuses and in
iquity. lie will not deny tina. in all the history
of the world, in al the records of previous cor
ruption, knavery and rasellity, there can no
parallel be found with the Wing fra,pls and pee
ulations of the late GALPHiN and GARDINER adj
minioration, The people will not be IN a hurry
again to trust ihe Federal Wings with political
power, even it they should once more come to
life. The national treasury has been p,under-
ed sufficiently for the remainder of this century
at least.
But what disposition does the Tribune intend

There can exist no DOUBT upon that point They
