From the Baltimore Patriot.


The Richmond Wing in another Of those lofty declar.-
tons of devotion principles, which have animated its
columns, just tribute the dsineres,ed zeal With
which Southern Wings have fought for the true doctrine
Of the Constitution. The Wbig says
"A party ties they will sacrifce-a hope of prefer
ment they viii cheerully surrender-ofce and its emo.
ument they will despse when these or any of them come
In coDct with the duty they the South them
selves aud to their country This indeed has been and
still is the distinguishing characteristic OF Southern
WhiSs-the most unsel6sh, loyal and patriotic party
which, we honestly believe any age country boast
Always IN minority, oyerpoTered by numbers often
victmised by treschery aud deseron the basest vet
ever standing firm and fearless Drawing power facing
prescription, yet nobly cngng their principles amid all
such discouragements without the hope or the eIpecta-
tloa of reward. Surely honest patriotic and
indomable and ever enlisted 10 the service of any
country"
All this can be verified by history When the sLouts
OF Wing triumph are ringing the land-wheh AM
bition and Intrigue have combined secure the spos Of
GoVernment the southern Wings refuse TO join the
