be, calm, temperate, and argumentative. The rec
titude Of their cause, the confidence they have in
the good sense of the people, and in the triumph
of their principles forbid that they should become
angry and Incorporate; while their opponents in

perate by the certain prospect OF defeat they make

for so many years kept its foot upon their necks
and treated them as il they were interlopers and
aliens in the land Of their birth! The Wings Of
| Virginia are generous and forgiving. They write
in sand, not upon enduring brass, such language
as the following, uttered by the editor Of the Wash
ington Sentinel, Zone Of the most Jealous Of all the
papers which support the cause Of Wise, foreign
ism, and Jesuitism, on the 9Th Of December last
AS for ourselves, we have always believed that
large portion Of the Wing party Of the South was
so thoroughly ensaved by party prejudces, that 1t
would fight against the Democracy under any cir
cumstances; making use of any weapon and prac-
Using any deception, without regarding the conse-
quences of such insane hostility. We did not,
however, believe that any portion OF the Wing
party Of the South would make such public man
Hesitation Of the reckless spirit which actuated It,
as to make proclamation of its willingness to throw
aside the Wing banner and invite fraterna fusion
| with any one, no matter whether jew or Gentle,
who would vote against Democratic candidates and
aim blow at the Democratic party.
g But it seems, we were mistaken. We have
noticed indications that in Virginia, some Of
the Wings are ready to unite in any fusion or Goa
lition, after the manner, and in imitation of the
example Of the Wings Of the North. TO obtain
power, they seem to be willing to embrace any
ieper, no matter how foul his sores may be, pro-
vided he has vote, and to fraternize with any as
sassin, no matter how abandoned, provided he
hates the Democratic party, and will use his
stiletto against Democratic candidates"
Such complimentary language as this will, OF
course, conciliate the Wings Of Virginia and in
duce them to vote for that distinguished renegade
who once prayed for the union Of the Wings, for
the sake Of the Union"
But word in regard to the charge of the Senti-
mel, that the Wings Of Virginia are "willing to
embrace any leper no matter how foul his sores
may be, to fraternze with any assassin, no matter
how abandoned" &c.
take it for granted that the people Of Virginia
have heretofore been either Vhigt or Democrats;
if the former, then, ready to- embrace iepers,
and fraternize with assassins these desperate and
degraded characters must have constituted por-
ton of the Democratic party; SO that the Se'ti.
mel, while it venting its spite and spleen upon
the Wigs Of Virginia, was, unwittingy, about
equally complimentary TO the Democrats Of the
Old Dominionl
But again, on the 7th of April, just past, the
Sentinel paid Wings the compliment Of saying
that "Whigs, Know-Nothings, Freesoilers, and
Aboitionists, are one and the same thing! Like
the Asiatic cholera" exclams the Sentinel, in the
bitterness of its wrath and disappointment at the
result of the municipal elections in Portsmouth,
Richmond, and other cities in Virginia." Like
the Asiatic cholera, or any other scourge sent to
punish the human family, either for sins omitted
or committed, Know-Nothingism is pursuing its
wild career over the whole face of the country"
That salntary and patriotic reform which seeks
to check the insolent interference of foreigners in
our national affairs, which is striving to erect
barrier against the desolating food of foreign inf
deity and decentralization which aims at prevent
ing this country from becoming the Lazar-house
and the Botany Bay of Europe, and which is re-
the land by Jesutism--is, by the mild, temperate,
dispassonate editors of the Sentinel, stigmatized
as 'sthe Asiatic cholera" the "scourge sent to
punish the human family r
Such il the language, such the spirit that actu-
ates those whoare now supplcating :" aid and COM
fortn from the Wings of Virginia those very
Wings who, we are told are willing to embrace
any ieper, no matter how foul bis sores may be,
and to fraternize with any assassin no matter how
abandoned" MADISON

to lop of ofmy list its name although ii proesses to

others, and direct him to forward the money.
