The Philadelphia Bulletin, neutral

under the above head;
Indeed, not only is the Wing party
still alive but, in one sense at least, it can
never die, A party composed of similar
materials to that which rallied around
Clay and Webster, must always exist
in this country under one name or an.
other, for il is the representative of the

Nor Gan any person, whose views arc

party is as useful as its antagonstic one.
II constitutes, in truth, the balance wheel
to our political, machinery. Without it
we should go too fast, as with it alone we
should move to slow.

The FINALE OF THE MAINE ELECTION.
The Bangor correspondent OF the Phil

Wing candidate, and Mr.. MORRILL,, the
Independent Democratic candidate, from
which thai body will have to select Gov
ernor; and also that VIM. PITT FEssEN:

BY some means, foul or fair, that little
locofoco newspaper, printed away up in
Vinton county came up missing last
week, as far as the Jackson list was con
cerned. The design of this was, we are
credibly informed, to keep from before
the people in this region, some of their
foul charges against the wings of Jackson
county.
How or where the editor of that pa
per obtained his information, that the
wings Of Jackson were instrumental in
bringing out either Owens or Perry, for
Representative, is a mystery to US. This
we do know. that the charge is false in
every sense Of the word. We do hope
that our friends and the friends of Justice
will throw the lie back into the very teeth
of the concoctor afsuch base falsehood,
and 10 make the matter worse, withhold
itfromthose charged. Shame upon such
man. we do not sec how community
can encourage apaper or man, that would
utter such an infamous lie. Just on the
eve Of an important election.
The whig party in this county met in
Convention and nominated their own
ticket, with the intention of supporting it;
the Main Law party nominated Daniel
Perry, and as for Mr. Owens, he is an
independent-Anti- Maine. Law.man, run

Of any party. It's Likely that the "Dm,

now, the W zig party must by law of
politics, periodically obtain the su-
premacy. A triumphant party invaria-
bly, falls into errors, and as invariably
ofendsa portion of its participants; and
hence accessions. at such times, are sure
to be made TO the party in opositlon.-
These fountains of dsaffection multiply
until the accumulated tide becomes ire
slstable; the party in power gives way;
and the Wings flow in and enjoy the
land.
Ii is a good thing it is so. The per.
manent ascendancy of either party would
be less beneficial than this ebb and flow
of parties. As current and counter
currents maintain the party of ocean and
air, so the succession of W hig and Dem.

The Candfdates for Representative.
Voter, before you, areplaced the names
of four men, as candidates for the Legis-
lature, from this the 7th District
WILLIAM j. EVANS, the regular NOM
mated Wing candidate, is 9 man possess
ed of no ordinary talent. He is young
man, in the7prime'of lifey and in every
way capable and worthy your suffrages,
and, no doubt, if elected, will serve you
in whatever he may be called upon to act.
Wings, you are called upon to support
your ticket. With you lies the power
and we should be happy to see you act
for yourselves, and vote for W.. J. Evans.
JOHN STEVENSON, the regular nomlna
ted Democratic candidate, is man OF
good character, and stands high in the
estimation of bis political friends, and is
every way capable of serving consti-
uency. Mr. S. is an old citizen of this
county and State, and possesses knowl-
edge of our wants and desires,
MARTIN Owens, the avowed Anti-
Maine candidate, is an independent man,
asking the votes Of The peop'e. There is
not the least doubt, but that Mr.. Owens
would make a good representative. The
fact of his having held the same position
heretofore, to the satisfaction of his polit-
ical friends, is guarantee enough that he
will again serve his constituents. Mr.. 0.
is the avowed enemy to the Maine
Liquor Law, and will, if elected, support
his position against any and every opposi-
ton.
DANIEL PERRY, is an old citizen Of Jack,
son, and well known for honesty of pur'
pose, and is much respected by all thai
know him. MIR. P. has served in severa
public positions, and as far as we car
learn, has always maintained the charac
ter of good and faithful servant Of The
people The friends of the Maine Law
by whom he was nominated, are labor
ing very hard for his election, and fee
sangune of his success.
The State officers, and also those fol
the county, are too numerous to make
special notice Of, they are all good men
and would all make good officers,
provided they could get votes enough
I his election, is one Of great Importance
and should be attended to by every NAL
that has vote.
We do not intend saying aught agains
any man, either politically or religiOusly
but merely ask for daylight and fai
fight.
