THE ORGANIZATION OF THE HOUSE.

BY what combination shall it be done? The interest of
the country not that Of any party should determine this
question Three parties in the ield-the democrats
the republicans and the know-nothings The old wing
party have been swallowed up, mostly by the two latter Of
these But the individual members Of that old party still
live Let them without regard to their present political
connexions Join the democrats in the organization and
they viii vindcate their sincerity worshppers at the
altar where Henry Clay ofciaed No question Of patriot
isnno question touching the rights of individuals or OF
coumunitiesentered into the mighty struggle between
Henry Clay and General Jackson All matter OF State
policy. Patriotism, strict regard for constitutional
rights and determination to protect Them were conceded
on both Sides But have party in the field that
are not pdtoswho have respect for the rights the
constitution guarantees This party, regret to say,
composed mostly Of the old wing party though great
many old democrats belong it. But there yet respect
able number of national oldashoned Clay and Webster
wings who have not joined this party Of republicans
God forgive the desecraon Many of them members
of the House. enough it is believed, 10 constitute
ioriy in conjunction with the democratic members
The know nothngs who embraced in the description
of wings which have alluded can have no objection to
this They have object in view but to Americanize the
government to use their words j they have
test with the wings the democrats and party they
have sympathy with the republicans" This latter
party would Americanze the government with vengeance
had they the power They would destroy tue rights of
poTHon OF southern people
Of fighting for freedom deprive all States Of the free
privilege of dong they please in respect to their
domestic concerns and friends Of the slave they would
doubtless destroy all the sases in the Union get rid of
the institution Of slavery after the of the good old
man in the fable who much distressed the suffer-
ng Of the poor that he had them all burnt that they might
suffer no longer.
The only enemies of the country the abolitionss
eesoiler called republicans The other parties ali
agree questions of constitutional justice and should
unite to put dorm those opposed to it If General Jackson
and Henry Clay here they wond unite in saying
down with Vim. II. Seward aid his followers And let
the old friends Of Jackson and Of Clay fairly represent
their illustrious predecessors.
The present contest is Of bold upright national JUS
tce on the one side, and sectional prejudice the
other. Here there is compromise; ia matters Of
szpsncy there may be- for honor fealty the
stituion is involved.
The democratic party have always commended that they
desired the of their party for the good Of the
try The old whig party knoa had nothing else in view
and both these parties must know that this republican
or abolition party is nimca to the true interest of the
country and TO the constitution Of the United States Let
Them therefore, unite and the spirits of Clay and Jackson
spirits do hover around this lower world will rejoice at
the union
Let not me ghigs be humhled because their party has
been swallowed. The whale swallowed Jonah Jonah was
heard of afterwards, the whale never.
Wll the editor Of the Union publish this and oblige
AN OLD WING.
