FHt VINO pAafr.-A number 81 small

beer politicians amuse Themselves with the
inquiry az to the MhefeabOuis Of the Wing
party. The organs Ofthe presentedministra-
lion are peculiarly sensitive, and their wit is
taxedto lind figures that might illustrate
theif sympathy. Even The Tree soil party,
whose Prospects haye been growing beau

z This shows the singular fact that u period
OF the most marked prosperity the Increased
vote in four years was only 1858. Notc
this, and remember further, the influences
that supported Scott deprived him Of an i'm.
