to abandon former issuea, OF 10 withdraw from a
contest which they regard as hopeless. Wing OF
eanizatlon and associated effort we see, is pretty
generally abandoned, and the Democrats allowed
10 have ittheT own way, OF Others 10 combat with
them as best they can. Still the question occurs,

table opposition which may DO shown. The great
mass Of the Wings are conservative and that to the
b core, aud under all circumstances and in regard
to nllinlaests. This Is more than can be said OF
The maiorilyof the Democratic party.
Wethink Wings ought 10 vote. Though Oealeh

not asa worthy part, OF part deserving the least
consideration.
They speak Of Wings os aliens and traitors, and
will moi allow them even tho humbleat place IN

honesty, eaphbity and experience, are all Of no
