address Of the Democratic and Wing COEl-
mittceS-The difference.

mitteeS-The difference.
We publish in to days paper the address
Of the wing territorial central committee, au-
tRorizcd by their recent convention at this
place, not only lecause we are paid for so
doing, Iut the more willingly IN order that
a comparison may be instituted between It's
weakness, and the able and comprehensive
political views sci forth On the first page Of
the present numb,r-the result of the re-
ouiremcnt oil the democratic terTito.id con-
vcnllon.
All are aware how difficult it is TO review
a production that conllns absolutely aoM-
iag-how futile it is to attempt TO diycst
phanlom OF the halilaments Of cOrpo.ial
life, or attack or investigate principles where
none are presented. Such being the case
we will content ourselves with simply re-
plying to some of the rords contained in
the whig address. And we would here take
occasion 10 remark thatIas the committee
would wish TO attribute the organization Of
parties to cur federal officials, ''hrsh from
The fashionable circle. of Washington city"
-"who owe not only the position they
occupy to party President, and their pres
ence amongst u.s." it would have been well
for them to have enquircd What position
their candidate Col. WALLACE, hos occu
pied towards party president, and ~hy he
is now amongst us. Did they not know
that he is ''fresh" from the position OF r.
ceiver in a Land office in lowa-recenily
dismissed, and that from the moment his loot
pressed the soil oIlhisteriitory up 10 the hour
of mis- nomination, we are credilably informed
he has presented himself prominently before
the people as a delegate 10 congIrss-vir-
tualIy eIiciting, if not urging, whig organ
izalion, 10 tho end that he might obtain a
position secured and laid open BY demo-
cratic administration, and be enabled 10 mix
with the 'FAsuIoNADLE chcl's Of Washing
ton city, at the present session of congress.
Our territorial officers came here to occu.
py places voucbsafed and required through
the action of democratic adminiSta alton I;
they have discharged, and are at present en-
gagged in vigorous discharge of their duties,
and whiggery need not expect 10 dclract
from them reputation which they are des-
tined to secure, in the faithful fulflment of
the same.
But they say the only press in the terri
tory has turned democratic has commenced
war'upon whiggery, and that such a state
Of things cannot passively be submitted 10
and then close their address by asking few
questions, as arguments why Col. Wallace
should be elected How conclusive and
convincing
We ask the unbiased OF all parties to
read the bold and stirring address 10 the de.
mocracy-the doctrines advanced, and the
platform there laid down, and carefully
compare it with the passive, weak and foun-
dationlcss address of the whig central COM
mittee, and then honestly determine upon
the relative merits of the claims of parties
10 the suffragcs Of the people.
To the complaint OF the whig committee
that democratic press has been arrayed
against that party, We would say we have
no desire to stihe an expression Of public
sentiment in consequcncc-knowing that
giving publicity TO all such documents as
the whig circular, can only have tendan-
cy 10 weaken the cause Of whiggery, and
render doubly certain the triumph of dem
ocratic men and measures.
Fcllow-dcmocIats, read and ponder we'll
the truths contained in the democratic ad-
grpss, that you may be fully prepared on the
30th day Of January, to deposit your votes
for CoLuMBIA LANCASTER.
