Whoever will trouble himself to read the address
of the late Wing State Central Committee, will be
convinced how truly they have been judged by the
Democratic party in the opinion expressed ofthem,
n the Introductory remarks of the address of oJr
party's committee In our last issue we endeavor-
ed to give readers partial review of the able
document last mentioned, and at that time had nc
idea of the kind of stuff which to be set afioat
for the guidance of Wings in this state.
Abandoning the platform and false gods which
they had set up for their blind idolatry in 1852
the watch words of the present campaign, are ma
tivism and niggersm, with a few adjuncts which
their hypocrisy has garbcd and tagged on in the
guse of Liquor prohibition, sale of the public
works and the danger of the 'ntegrity ofthe com
mon school fund.-
We hardly suppose any Democrat or sensible
man of any party can be long deceived by this
ruse. Defeated in their mightest struggles TO at
tain the position ofpower, in which they have al
ways welded corruption where by accident success
has attended them at the polls they fly to the sue
cor of stratagem, of fraud, ofiberalism, and each
ray of hope however illusory to build up new
organization of any and every element. In the
language of their address they convicted of all
we charge upon them, and itnecds only to be quot
ed in order to be understood. They say to their
fellow citizens of Pennsylvania: 1--WE urge upon
our friends throughout the state, in every county
and township, to organize, and waving all minor
differences to elect such Legislature and repre-
sentation in Congress will give decisive re-
buke to those who have anew involved us in agi-
tation.''

mination to slake their thirst of power by the
adoption of any and all means, without discrimi-
nation, which they vainly imagine savors of sue
cess? Do they adhere to any platform-do they
elevate any pole star Of principle by which their
followers TO be guided-do they place them
selves in any tangible position by which the coun
try can hold them responsible in future ?-Not at
all. They imagine panic; they deem the poll
teal deep to be agitated; they endeavor TO crea-
tion the impression that the waves are crested with
the white caps Of storm, and with piratical hand
try to seize upon every floating wreck of opinion
wherewith to enrich their prospects.
The Wing party is no longer to be the Wing
party but falling in with the cue of the Saratoga
conventionists recommended BY New York ia
natics they propose to come before the people un-
der the specious ''common appellation of REpUB-
LIcANs" and to compose a party out of Demo
acrats Q), Free soilers and Wings,
But there is yet time TO reflect and time to act
Such snares have been too often laid to entangle.
and will inevitably spring upon the hands that
lay them. Never in the history of Politics in
this country, has such wanton abandonment of
every thing frank and honest been evinced. As
Democrats, friends of open undisguised action,
as the avowed supporters of truth and bstantial
principles, let us be awake TO -insiduors and de-
ceptive approaches. Resist the Devil of nfnites-
mal shapes, and he will flee from you.
