Revival Of the Wing Party.

Revival Of the Wing Party.
A strong effort is now being made.
with good prospect Of success. to re-
organize the old, Wing party. An old
Wing, writing for the National Intelli-
gsncer. and advocating the propriety of
srs-orgsnisatiOn of the party. lays down
the following. as principles that would
then be the Platform Of that party -
/. A United States Bank, az the safest and
only constitutional bank.
9. A protective tariff, to foster home indus
Try and secure commercial independence.
3. A judicious and equal system OF internal
improvements by the General Government.
{. A distribution Of the proceeds Of the pub
lie lands among the several States, in proper
zion to population. .r.--.-
- 5. A stern opposition to sectionalism, and &
rigid accountability of all public agents and Of
fcers. i7--
s. An economical administration Of the Cen
eral Government. and liberal and magnani-
NOUS foreign policy.
- 2. The maintenance Of law and order at all
hazards, and unyieiding opposition to fillibus-
tsrism. ;" ..---t1-
/. g. The Union for the sake of Liberty, and the
old conservatism of the Wing party as the best
means Of perpetuating both.
It would indeed be a rejoicing sight to
see the good old Wing party again ar
rsyed for battle, as in days gone BY. A
more glorious party never existed, as this
same old Wing party. in the days of its
strength, when led on by such choice
! spirits as Clay, Webster. Fillmore. and
their associates. The country is now
ripe for the organization of that party.
The Democratic party is in fair way to
fall to pieces. from its own internal feuds
and corruption. Extrayagance has emp
tied the National Treasury, and President
Buchanan is already falling into that
stage of unpOpularity which proved so
disastrous to Martin Van Buren,. Bu-
chanan, in his Message, gives blow
, against National Bank, and in the same
document recommends the Issuing of
Treasury Notes, in order to raise funds
TO carry on the Government anil one of
the first sets of this Democratic Con-
gress, was to pass Treasury Note Bill.
Even while the Democracy were rejoicing
in the wisdom anil success of their free
trade and Sub-Treasuty policy, fnan-
cial reVulsion occurred, which has proven
ruinous in the extreme to the manufaetu-
ring and industrial interests Of the coun-
try. The causes and effects Of the revul-
sion are stronger argument in favor of
che cid Wing Protective Tariff, than any
which could be written. The Democracy
are even talking of Direct Taxation, as
they did in Martin Van Buren's time In
fact, the condition Of the country. finan-
cislly and politically. is. as near as may
be, the same as in 1887; and the signs
Of the times indicate an 1910 result of
the next Presidential election.
= To succeed over the Democracy, the
opposition must be united. How can
they do this ! They cannot unite with
the Republican party, for then they could
get no support in one section of the
Union. And there is a prejudice existing
against the American party. which would
prevent many from uniting with it. Bnt
not SO with the Wing party. Its mem.
bers are scattered among the different
parties of the day but at the old war
cry, they would again flock around the
good old banner. and march to victory
Prejudice against the party has died away.
. American and Republican parties have
, alike referred to the principles of the
Wing party, and claimed to embody
them and all have endorsed the princi-
piles and sentiments of Clay and Web
ster. The Democracy have confessed that
Il was gallant party, and held princi
pies that were worth contending for,
which they denied TO the parties of the
present day +; and now when, in their day
: Of triSulation. they have been compelled
70 complete the acknowledgment. by en-
Abracing Wing measures. to save the
country from destruction, it is time for
The Wing party itself to arise from the !
ashes and take charge of their own cher
ished, measures. and permit the benefit Of
them to be enjoyed by the country. which
has so long suffered from the want of
them.
