idential election, il is dead That notwiih-
standing this is The largest vote any Wing
ever received for President, yet the Wing
party is dead!
The recent State elections show that the
Wing party still lives, and that it will still
have fair representation in the councils Of
the nation, sufficient 10 hold in check reck-
less legislation, and hold in restraint ultra
isms Of every character.
AT home, in our own State, we have
deadly feud in the ranks of the opposition:
all know the nature Of that feud. .
When Benton was defeated for the Uni
ted States Senate, he was declared dead -
When the Legislature refused TO repeal the
jackson Resolutions, Benton was declared
dead! When Phelps and Lamb took ground
against him, he was dead, again!
Benton is in the Congress of the United
States, and where are his opponents, who
so often declared HIM dead?
Where is Bowlnp He has been dead
SO long that he is forgotten!
Where is Green? Thrice rejected by
the People, he has gone 70 a more genial
climate 10 repair damages!
Where is Birch ? With the "other two
Jims," he, too, stands at great distance
from the capitol where Benton sitteth."
Where is Jackson? Dead, tool The
''last of the conspirators," that appeared
before the people, has gone TO the grave
dug for the "Old Man."
Verify, the voice of the dead is power
iul!
Remember, Davy, you must del
Phelps, where art thou? And oh, Lamb
prepare for the shearing. Ask the prayers
of the Jims and the Foxes who haye gone
over Jordan, for your safe arrival!

Third District refused to vote for Jackson,
and generally voted for Lindley, gives its
views of the intelligence and capacity o! the
Germans, as follows:
There is want of independence and self
reflection among them whcih induces men
who think and act independent 10 these
things, 10 come to the conclusion that many
Of our German citizens are not as well pre-
pared TO exercise the rights Of self-govern-
ment, as they should be to enable them 10
escape the arts Of designing men, who seek
to make tools of them. Their condition, in
This 8ate IS TOO apparent an This respect, TO ad-
init Of any doubt! And we appeal TO them
to reform this error; forsake those political
factions, with their abolition and anti-na-
tiona Tenderness; otherwise, they must ex-
pect TO be looked upon as a troublesome and
unwelcome people among US, thus feeding
the flame Of Native Americanism.
