the Shameless bargain and sale thus unbluShinoIv
consummated. The Wing Convention has since be%91
called for the 18th of October and the TemneroU"a
Central Committee have issued call for the re.,S'
sembling of the Temperance Convention on the 1Sh
of the same month for the formal TRANSFERRING of tboi
forces to the Wing camp To show the perfect m.
derstanding existing between Maine Law and Who
gery 1t is an incident to be remembered that the new
call for the Temperance gathering was first an.
nounced in the State Gazette, the Wing organ, not
withstanding the fact that the Temperance folks have
a paper of their own published in this city.
1t remains to be seen how successfully this "hoIy
alliance" can be carried out. cannot believe that
the Temperance Democrats will thus blindly lend
in power in New Jersey. Mr. Haywood is full blown
in Federal hereses and even in case of his success
is totally impotent to advance the object cOntem-
plated by the temperance movement. The Execu-
tive of this State has negative upon legsativeac
ton, a fact which is looked upon to give him the
vote of even the anti Maine Law wing of the heterO
seneous Wing party.
The proposed coalition is unrelieyedly corrupt in
ts inception and the principal Wing manager Of the
affair is an lnVeterate bator to Bacchus and stu
dy opponent of Maine Law prohibition. The whole
is so utterly transparent, that none but
the most verdant and unsophisticated gudgeon can
be induced to nbbe at the bait thus sIovenly ten
lered. The antecedents of Wing amalgamation are
such as to forewarn and forearm every honest tenn
perance man from its contamination. Whiggery de-
Dauched abolitionsm and then deserted it to go bob
oing for Southern supporta the last election 1t in
Tited Natvism to its arms gave it offices and honors
or an hour and then kicked it into the kennel, an
object of leprous adherence, and then inclined its
