From the Palmyra Whig, 7th.
The Whig Party in the Coming Legis-
lature.

In this weeks paper We publish a COM
munication over the signature of"Outsider, ;
from an old and highly priced correspon-
dent. We trust the readers of the Wing
will give to it Gas it surely deserves) an at
tentive perusal. We can scarcely conceive
so much danger as Our correspondent appre-
hends. The plain duty ofthe Wing Delega-
tion is to stand firm, and make no compro-
mise Of their principles. five are right our
principals must triumph in the end. All
we have heretofore accomplished is the di-
rect result Of steady adherence to princi-
pies. No present gain, however great it
may appear in the eyes of some, can COM
pensate for the slightest departure from the
strict line of duty. To swerve now would
be worse than madness. Shall we let slip
''all of good we have inherited and proved,
for desperate chance of something better
which they promise? Our State is just be-
ginning TO feel the benign influence of the
principles for which we have SO long strug-
glod. a liberal system of State improve
ments, begun under favorable auspices, is
yet to be perfected; and thousand other
beneficial measures with which the Wings
Of Missouri are closely identified, are yet to
be compasscd. 1--we accomplish those things
we must do it in the same manner pointed
out for the accomplishment of such things
We must illustrate our sincerity by a strict
adherence to the principles we profess.-
We can therefore tolerate no Juggling, no
huckStering Of votes, or place, no union, with
wings, except there can be an union in prin-
ciple, no coalition, no trading off Of votes
but plain, straightforward discharge of
duty. We feel pretty we'll assured that the
Wing Delegation will stand firm. They
should be careful not to commit themselves
in advance TO any scheme which may be pro-
posed, until they can see clearly to the end.
The day is fruitful in eXpedients. The great
sea Of politics is stirred to IFS depth. Old
restraints are broken, and new class Of
men, without principles or guiding star,
seem destined to rule for a time the des;i-
MES of the country. Under such a state of
facts, it becomes us to be very wary, to plant
our footsteps on those who have gone before
us. This course at least will be safe.

The Communication.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. 22, 1854.
Editors ofthe Wig:
GENTLEMrN-I have always regarded
you as faithful eXponents OF the principles
Of the Whig party; and among those who
honestly believed its success identified with
the best interests of the State.
l have no other apology for troubling you
as the conductors of q leading Wing journal
with the following hints touching recent
movements by certain individuals calling
themselves Wings, in this city. You are
not ignorant that for several years past,
whenever the united action Of the party has
been necessary, there have been several
members of the party who, just at that mo-
mcnt have been strongly impressed with the
propriety of surrendering up their party
predictions to the adversary. Such ma
nGuvre is now in process Of execution
Whether it extends beyond this city, know
not but believe it does, and that time will
State. The idea is this: that the Wing men,
bers Of the next General Assembly, as many
as can be prevailed on, shall vote for Lo-
coloco for United States Senator, to the a.
abandonment of the Wing candidate, when he
shall be brought forward for that place.
When treachery is to be perpetrated, excu-
ses are never wanting; and So we have the
following as the alleged reasons for this
course. The Anti-Benton wing of the op-
posite party now elect to the next Legisla-
ture, it is assumed are determined to destroy
the State: their wrath wakes high and furi-
Gus, and soltening emollient is needed
they must be taken in hand and made patri-
OTIS of--that is to say, the Antl-Bentons will
not vote dollar to our work of internal i'm
provemenLs, u,lesS something is done for
them. The Anti Bentons will not vote to re-
charter the Bank of Missouri, unLeSS some
thing is done for them. The Anti-Bentons
will not, in these times when money is SO
valuable, vote to raise the legal rate of in
terest, unless something is done for hem.---
But there they will sit in the Legislative
Hall, like so many Turks, willing to do their
duty like honest men, Provided only they are
first bought! But will they DO anything for
their country without? Will they turn q
wheel to further its interests, or TO satisfy
their own hearts and consciences as men?-
No, by the gods, never: that is, not unles,
they see substantial "reaSonS" therefor!- -
The Anti-Bentons must be bought, that's the
word, and it can only be done by electinl
one of them to the Senate Of the U, States

ORDERs FOR Pork AND BEEF FROM Eng
LAND, AND CoRx FROM FRANCE.-The New
York Post, Of ,he Sth, contains the following
interesting information: "There are large
orders on here for Pork and Beef, on account
of the English government for its army and
navy supplies, and agents have been some
time in the West making purchases. A
quantity has been bought and is on its way
here from Chicago. Bills for payment Of

want Of such safeguard has long been
felt; and as the cost of its maintenance will
fall directly upon those who will cheerruIly
bear the expense, we see no good reason
why it should not be incorporated into our
postal system as one of its principal fea-
tures.
During the three years commencing July
l, 1851, &5.507O22 O8 postage stamp.
and stamped envelopes have been issued by
the department, Of which $5,O92, ,3Ol were
sold.
The service performed by the severallinca
Of ocean mail steamships is treated at large
The Postmaster General is of opinion that
the compensation now received is too large,
and that the present system is calculated to
drive eff private competition. The total
amount paid last year for ocean service was
$2,O23,Ol0 20.
The fines and deductions during the past
year amount to &lIO,4S6. The amount fer
the previous year was $37,92O.

Mr.. Adams introduced resolution to es-

by the American people. He denied all
connection with the Know Nathings, and
disclaimed hostility to foreigners, but inss-
ted that emigration was dangerous because
they identified themselves with abolition
