The Wing Party.

Gov. Hunt, the distinguished Wing Ex-
ecutive of New York, who has Just re-
tired from office, was in New York City the |
other day, where he was waited on by q |
number Of eminent Wings of that city, and,
in an address, complimented for the able and
satisfactory manner sin which he had dis
charged his late high trust. The Daily
Times gives his response as follows:
Governor Hunt responded, in handsome
terms. He said this manifestation of graft
tude by his Wing friends of New York, was
only a repeated expression of their conf
dence, which rendered it one Of the most
happy and agreeable occasions of his life.
1t was source Of qualification TO be as>ur-
ed that his friends approved Of his official
conduct, as they have shown tonight. He
called upon the Wings not TO be chilled be,
cause the true Wing principles were over
powered at the last Presidential election
The management of the United States Gov
eminent will now devolve upon our oppo-
nents, and we cease to be responsible for the
conducting of the affairs ofthc nation. But
gentleman, we yet have important and high
~ responsible duties 10 perform. And as
the duties of patriotism never dies while we
have life TO perform them, the great Wing
, party is not nor never should be coalition
of politicians for mercenary purposes; il il
were 50, efforts would be unnecessary
The Wing party is actualed by high and
noble principles-libero polcy-adcquate
protection for American enterprise and man
u'acture. Extension Of intercourse, reach
ing from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean,
drawing all parties of the country near to-
gether. The Ex-Governor continued, as 10
party names they are imperishable as the
undying name Of Webster, and l will ad.
here to the well-defned purposes and prin-
ciples Of the great Wing party. Cheers. ]
And this is our only hope. Did the heroic
- spirit of Clay, ever fail? No, gentlemen, he
, was always more strong and forciblc when
= his hope Of attaining an object, for public
good, was about to be stricken into oblivion
i, And why should we falter now? [Cries
never Our cause is good one and we
= look to the future; we stand on great and no.
bic principles. There, has, we all know
been collateral questions, which heretofore
we have unfortunately been divided upon
but my voice has always been for peace
and continue to invoke peace and harmo,
ny of the party throughout the United States
trust the day has come, when we are one
and inseparabe, Governor Hunt conclu,
ded by extending his thanks to the Commit,
tee for the kind welcome, and wished the
Wings happiness, prosperity, and ultimate
success.
The meeting separated with nine cheers
an! the Ex-Governor retired TO his room.

XIV Volume.

This number commences the FOURTEENTH
VOLUME of the TINES and we are highly
gratfied at being able to state that it enters
upon the fourteenth year of its existence
with larger amount Of subscribers, and a
better advertising patronage than it has ever
had, or enjoyed. This is gratifying 10 us,
indeed; not SO much for the pecuniary gain
out from the reflection that our efforts and
labors are appreciated by generous com
munity. Our constant aim shall be to ex-
end the circulation and usefulness of the
paper, by making it more acceptable TO the
community in which it is located. As be-
ore remarked, our subscription list is lar
ger than it has ever been, and is increasing
every week. Our new terms-ONE DOL
LAR IN ADvANcE-work well; and by the
close of the present volume we shall have
TWO thousand subscribers, if they continue
TO come in as they have for the last few
weeks. The telegraph will soon be in OPP
Grafton, and we shall be able to anticipate
the St. Louis papers in giving the latest
news. 1t will not then be necessary to wait
or he mails or boats, but important news
-tems, or events transpiring abroad, can be
had to the hour of publication.
We beg to return our most heartfelt
hanks to our numerous friends and patrons
Tor their long and generous support, anC
hall not only strive 10 merit continuance
ut to give them better paper, which GU
increased facilities and patronage enable IL
to do, at lower price. Advertisers hav
the advantage of the increased circulation
which is important TO them, and at the sam
time important TO the reader-for it is a,
exploded idea that live advert sements @
any description, are not NEWS 10 the ma
who wishes TO be well informed, and &c
he best goods, lands, or other property TO
lie smallest sum, and with the least loss {
Inc. And what man does not?
We embrace this as an opportune occasion
- return our thanks to numerous friend
81 lists of subscribers under our new ar
gsngement, and shall feel thankful for n con
tinuance of their favors; and in return be
hem to trouble us with any business W
can do for them at this place.

Platte Argus and the Bank.

In copying and commenting upon an ar
ticle orthe Platte Argus, in reference TO the
Bank officers, few weeks since, we made
considerable sport over the Argus claiming
the offices as the ''Property' of its party
The E litor informs us Thai he did not mean
to say they were enlightened out of their
property, by the cry of corruption" Sc, but
that they should not be Enlightened out Of
their propridy," sc. We make the cor,
rection, and acknowledge those shots were
lost.

University Report.

. The Report of the Committee appointed
to 1.-THE University, and inquire into GER
tain charges preferred against President
Shannon, and the general condition of the
Institution, has been received. 1t amounts
to but little, considering the great fuss that
has been made on the subject, and the ex-
psnse the investigation and printing has
cost the State. The Committee met in the
University-addresse letters TO the differ
ent Professors, and the Senior Class, inqui
ring whether President Shannon, TO their
knowledge had, Officially or Otherwise
taught sectarian or political doctrines? The
answers fail to sustain the charges, though
some of them cut pretty close. Some had
heard him preach--as have many of our
readers-and he generally taught his reli-
fous views; but the Curators conceded him
the privilege Of preaching. Some of the
writers know the President TO be a demo-
crat, but never heard him ''talk politics, y
nor was it proven that he was ever "clap-
per and grinner," TO locofoco Speakers
The Presidents religious and political
views were well known before the Commit
tee pumped them out. The replies of the
Senior Glass;" with few exceptions, are
ridiculous in the extreme; and Pres ident
Shannon ought to ferrue them for such
stupid wit as their epistles are chiefly com.
posed of.
The whole investigation savors strongly
Of stupendous farce, at which those en-.
gagged had "free tickets" and went in for
rollicking time. The report of the minor
ty is brief and informs us there are enqui
ries yet out, unanswered. We suppose th'
answers will be along after while, but thei
printing will cost the State nothing. 1t i
unfortunate that State Institution Of Learn
, ing should be mixed up with Religion an,
Politics, and in the long run, the Univer
; sity will be the sufferer, and the cause G
education impeded. President Shannon
f friends believe he has been prosecuted, All
! will rally TO his support, and the Insttutio
I will show further Evidence of prosperity
r but others will look upon 1t with dlstrust
+ and when the zeal of religious and poIitico
friends has abated, or been directed 10 som
l other Institution, or in some other channel
it will begin TO rccede, and may, perhap;
go so low as to require powerful stimulant
: TO keep it up.E This, we fear, will be tn
: result, but hope for the best
e The Report shows the Institution in
hourishing condition, the number of pupil
having largely increased since Presider
Shannon took charge Of it.

The Legislature

Adjourned about 10 o'clock last Thursday
night. They failed to meet in joint session
for the election of Curators for the Univer-
sity, Public Printer, or Bank Directors,
leaving the Governor to appoint. He has
supplied the Bank Directors at Fayette, and
we observe a dispatch announces he has ap-
pointed the Curators, but we have not learn
e their names. We understand he will
make no appointment Of Public Printer I'M
til Mr.. Lusk's time cXpires-the first OF
May we believe. In making these appoint
ments, the Governor will most probably
show "under which king" he serves, or ia
which party, the Bentons or Antics, he be-
longs. In the matter of Curators and Bank
Directors, he can ride both sides Of the sap
ling, but when it comes to Public Printer.
he will have TO take one side. We presume
Mr.. Treadway of the Examiner" will re-
ceive the appointment.

Whip Position ,

The overpowering influence of Benton,
in st. Louis, as well over the Wings as the
Antics, of which latter there is but hand
full, powerless either in love or hatred,
gives some Of orr Wing friends and presses,
a decided leaning Awkward, and country
wings are expected to "chop about" TO suit
the times and politicians of ST. Louis. HI
the matter of the Jackson resolutions, for
instance wing members of the Legislature
were urged TO sustain the Antics, by way
of keeping them alive; and Wigs who stood
by the old wing position, when the resou-
ions were con civ and brought forth, were
looked at coldly, and even suspected of Ben
tonsm. No sooner were the repeal resolu.
tons laid on the table, than it was heralded
forth that the wi igs sustained the jackson
resolutions. We stated last week, that the
vote Of the wings was not 10 perpe'u te tlc
the principles of the resolutions, and that il
voting as they did, they were doubtless gov
erned by policy, Or more pressing consider
atoms Of interest TO the State.
Mr.. Hardin, of Galloway, one Of thu
ablest wings in the Legislature, explained
his vote as follows
Mr.. Speaker, beg to make this explana
ton in regard 10 my vote. | believe largt
majority of my constituents entertain prin
clples adverse TO the jackson resolutions
and consequently are in favor Of their re

Some four or five days Of the time o
the House have been consumed il

one can now know when we shall be abl
TO arrive at the final vote. The session i

TAMPERING WITH THE CuRRENcY.-A

says:
Gold is the current medium of exchange
in England. We have two, gold and silver.
We debased our gold coin to keep it at home;
and as we could not keep two currencies in
use of unequal actual value, though nomi-
nally legal value, the silver went abroad
What now is it proposed to do? To re.
duce the value of the silver currency, in or.
