SPIRIT OFTHE ESS.

The WhiS comments upon the Enquirer's appeal
in behalf of the democratic nominees In regard
to that portion of the article which claimed that the
democrats and their nominees have stood, hereto
fore, side by side, worshipping at the same affairs,
&C., the Whig asks
Where was Mr.. Wise when Van Buren was the
priest officiating In the Democratic Sanhedrimi
What were the offers, and what the incense which
HE threw on the "altar of the party" when Gen.
Jackson was the iron.willed exponent ofits creed
We ask, where was Henry A. Wise when the En-
quirer aud its party were 'elorying over the tri
umph of Van Buren," and mourning over the de-
feat efthe same Northern man, with Southern
principles 2" We ask our neighbor to reconcile
these little differences, merely as matterof his
torical relation. We are sure he did not intend to
violate historic truth.
In conclusion, the writer invites the democratic
crew to quit the sinking ship, leave "Capt. Luce,
and take passage on the ship 'Whig, which sis In
fine sailing order, and In no danger of a wreck or
explosion"
The Penny Post has another editorial on the pres
the strngency is mainly due to the reckless extrav
and fancy stockholders, and that the money of the
country is generally in the hands OF The sgricultu
rallcommunity. The rage for speculation and f.
nancial adventure in this country Is too great for
while 1t s true that it stimulates enterprise and en-
courages trade, it often leads to disaster and ruin
The Post advises the commercial and manufactur
ing and all other interests to take lesson from the
agricultural-and, by confning themselves to the
legitimate pursuit of their respective avocations,
guard against ruin and distress on one hand, and
insure peace ofmind and certain competency on
the other.
The Enquirer gives synopsis of the suggestion,
contained in the Presidents Message, and thul
speaks of the document:
