Roses or the rise and fall of the Girondsts in Revolu
tionary France We believe that the only effect OF
keeping up the Wing organization and standard is the
perpetuatisn of abuses and iniquites like those now
rampant in the government of our City. As nurses
.ppea TO certain fabulous dwellers in darkness
cuictus 10 troublesome children so the Wing party
will be used while it holds together, as scarecrow
and an instrument of discipline by the leaders and
fnplemen of the Sham Democracy They will general
" be able to keep majority in ther leading strings
by playing upon their hopes OF Office and spols, or
their fears of being thrown into powerless and un-
popnar minority But let those who have been Wings
saw. Yes we are Observation-Disclosures If you
please-so that we are no longer Wing party, but
simnly American citizens each acting his personal
convictions, and ready to unite IN any new Political
organization whereby We believe the public good Will
be promoted they would at once resume standing
e equality with all other citizens and break the
cerers wand which cOnstralDs so many wel-mean-
ina nersons 10 consor with allies and connve ut efforts
which their better Judgment condemns The dissolution
Of the Wing party will not destroy but greatly increase
the Political influence and power for good OF the capable
and upright individuals who so largely compose It, Ca
pactv recttude worth, would still be in demand and
would enjoy arer opportunities than are now accorded
Them. Questions of Internal Improvement, OF Inter
national Policy, Of Temperance &c. would continually
arise to aritae and divide the country and could not be
tramped beneath the iron heel of Party they too
often are. And by the dissolution Of the Wing party
the chances of advancing and establishing whatever is
most valuable and important in Wing principles and
measures would be decidedly improved.
These impressions have been strengthened by the
recent demonstrations of Mr.. BRoDHEAD of Pa. in the
L. s Senate and by kindred expressions from leading
journals Of the Democratic party. So long as the
Wing party was formidable, We never heard lisp from
that quarter in favor of the preservation of our Iron
interests; but now Mr. Brodhead talks like true
PENNSYLVANIA and of sense naturally fine had
been born to it, So do many of the leading journals of
bis party-witness the following from The Detroit Free
Press:
WHAT ARE WE COMING TO.
This question that may b. asked in view Of the i'm
mcnse comparative increase in the imports of the country
over the exports Whittier are we tending!
Al the port Of Ntvl or alone, the imports for January
showed an excess he month @ r auiouit.
ing to S2i2s,es3. The imports for February showed
little larger increase amounting to 343: and the i'm.
ports for March by statement, just published show
an of S6,-2j92G making total increase in imports
for three month, compared with last year of -742!
The erD0sfs for the three months show dccaSc the
CORES ondng time last year of S3,475,'4ll
This large increase in imports. the New York papers say
i, not confined dry goods alone but has extended
nearly every elias, OF general merchandise.
This disparity i great, and it to Us that the facts
involved must excite good deal OF attention from the
commercial community The state OF thing, indicated Is
not of healthy character If the ratio of increase
and decrease should continue toranv great length OF time,
it would ofief produce reyuson and crisis The total
value of imports for the three months above named
9'O3Jo''I
The exports during same period werc..... 262iol1s
Showing balance against the country of I0J03O3
In other words the country has run in debt IN the space
of three months for foreign merchandise, twenty four
millions of dollars And this sum must be paid if not in
produce and manufactures, in gold and silver.
If there be those who not aware that the people of
the United State running into extravaganza, let them
look IT the fact, and figures.
Had such an article appeared in The Tribune of last
year. it would have been treated by the Democracy
specimen of Wing panc-making, and would very prob
ably have elected ingenious reply from The Free
Press itself
(Let us stop to correct one erroneous impression OF
our cotemporary very large majority of our countrys
entire Imports are entered at this port, while En-
ports are shipped in good part from more southerly
harbors 1t is very certain that our country is fast in
creasng its Foreign debt but this is not proved by the
circumstance that the imports at NewYork alone during
the last quarter are double the exports at this point
Another case Free Trade journal lately threw
out the soothing suggestion that Imports consist
products of our Home Industry. But another City
Journal also inclined to Free Trade thereupon cited
the figures showing that the Imports Of Textile Fa
brcs-mainly Cotton, WOODEN and Silk-all competing
directly with American Fabrics-have been several
millions higher during the last quarter than before
Even Tie Ne,c- York HeraH-aways the blind and
wholesale servor of the Importing interests stag
gered by the enormous amount of our Imports, but
whistles its way through the graveyard as follows:

We beg each reader to pause aud consider the sew

to perceive no relation between our running in debt
