THE WING PARTY.
The New Bedford STANDARD, a Coalition
paper, rcbukes some of their presses in thus
sensible manner.
We have been somewhat surprised at
the course taken bv majority 81 the Free
Soil and Democratic Journals, IN publish
ing elaborate articles since lad November,
10 show that The Whigs have passed of tho
stage of action, and have not lof even
name behind them, or a single monument
10 commemorate their pas, existence. This
may MI bc very well NJ n sort Of harmless
satire, but II Is hy no means true, and We
trust has not bcpu believed by the otgr-
nciss a that party. The wish is father 10
/ the Thought, no doubt, with those who have
been thus prcnnturely chuckling over tho
lcccase Of their ancient foe. The Wing
parry IS not dead; but IL still lives and il
destined to play no unconspicuons part IN
the political history of the country in tho
future, as 1t has done ia the past.
plic Standard further proceeds To call
! the attention Of the Coalition 10 facts which
have n very important bearing upon the
question of the vitality Of the Wing party.
Tho iuli vote at the last Presidential
! election was as follows; Por Pierce, Dem
/ ocrat, 1907, 723; Scott, Wing, 1896
Hale, Free Soil, l550ii; Webster, Union
/ Wing, 7,l36; Troup, State Rights, 1900;
/ Goodell, Abolition, ~. Total vote, 3, lG2,-
/ 200.
The votes which were given for Mr.
4 Webster came from the Wing party, and,
added 10 those thrown for Gen. Scott,
makes the aggregate Of the Wing strength
thrown of the last election 10 be J ,3Di, 3GD
The idea that such an organization ar thu
has ceased 10 exist is prcpostcrous. and il
would be well for those JotrInrls who Jump
Mt their conclusions 70 weigh the facts pre-
scented by the figures. II IL also well known
that thousands OF dsuaectcd Wings did
not vote at all, while fow OF them, in
Massachusetts at least, gave their suiifagcs
10 Gen. Pierce.
Any party organization which can NUM-
Der million and half Of men IN their
ranks Is by no means lIfelcss affair; and
upon what the assertions of the death OF
tho Wing party are predicatcd We nre at n
loss 10 determine. II ought to be rccol-
lected that change OF few thousand
votes m three or four large States would
have elected Gen. Scott. BY referring 10
the popular vote II will be- noticed tina, the
Democrats lead the Wings by very few
votes compared with the whole number
given, but by series Of fortunate circum-
stnnces the majority WIS very remarkably
distributed Ia the States Gen. Pierce hnd
no very large MINORITY 10 any one State,
but was fortunate 10 have smnH mn jofiiy
"a each ofthe twenty which he car
ned, Thereby giving the impression at a sn-
pcihcini view Of an almost total humiliation
Of the Wing party. II has several times
occurred IN our Presidential elections, TINT
candidates have been chosen by the States
when there wRs an immense majority 81
the popular vote against them. As well
nigh, tho Whgs IN lrIS have predicted
the dlHbandment of the Dcmocraiic parry.
and with Ear more show 81 reason could
they have done Il Ia $40, after Mr.. Van
linren's disastrous defeat.
We can pursue the subject no Gnhef Of
tbs time. But on thing, IN closing, W.
would urge upon those who are opposed 10
