To Ca ! r. Mrlahsa, Edfor Norni-g BsHetn
DEAR sH You propose to ~re-organize and
rally the old Wing party, bring it into power,
and in order to accomplish that object you in
vits he aid and assistance Of an parties op-
posed to the Democracy.
Having been a constant reader Of the Bale
tin, I admire your chaste style, your editorials.
oOuehed, as they are, in respectful language,
and free from he rant wbichtoo often displays
Itself in partisan papers, is a sure indication
that in any situation you are a gentleman and
scholar and il is with no unkind feelings to
ward you, but in a spirit Of candoF and friend
ship, / ask you a few plain questions
If the Wing party, with such leaders as Inc
celebrated Clay and Webster, in the zenith Of
their power and glory, could pass no Perms-
rent act which the people Of the United States
would suffer to remain for any length Of time,
could carry out no great leading measure they
would approve, bow can that party now expect
70 legislate, provided they were in power, 50 as
to satisfy the people? Il seems plain that the
policy Of the old Wing party does not suit the
genius Of the people Of these United States.
Do yon not think your invitation T. al tie
Opposition to help break down the Democratic
party rather too broad? Suppose your invita-
ton was accepted let US examine for a no
ment the guests coming up to this Wing feast.
First, here come the Kuow-Nothings or Amer
leans, and they might pass muster then comes
the FreesOileT-is be welcome Then come
the Black-Republieans, with Seward, Hale,
Wilson, Greeley, and such like, with their pc
ouliaT notions Of negro equality, etc. But who
next? Fred Douglass himself. Fred
struts up with much pomp 70 see Massa
Mcmahon. +" Dis nigger's got an invitation
About that time, ] think, Coloael, YOU VIII
bolt dismiss the guests and quit the feast. The
fact is, Colonel, your Invitation Is too broad,
and, on reflection, you wiz be sure to see it;
for Il the Wing party could succeed BY such
means in breaking down Democracy, the
would be poWsrless for good. They
would find they had let the wooden horse 10 the
walls Of Troy fer their own ~destrucion
You have prophesied, for bow many years, /
the downfall Of the Democratic party but
nos; fortunately for the good Of the country,
party still exists, and has welded the dss-
tinies Of this nation for more than nine-teuths
Of cur national existence, and these United {
States, under their misrulc, ss you have i, have ,
grown from - weak States, 70 % powerful 7
States, now one Of the foremost nations Of ths q
earth. during which we have carried on sue z
c~essfuly our affairs at hons and abroad, have ,
passed many permanent acts If legisistion,
such ss The independent treasury system,
broken down the distrihutions ystem, etc. which
TIE Wing party for yesrs back have moi az ,
to alter or change. =
Wat think you, Colonel, would be our siiu-
to-day If The old Federal doctTines, or 7
modern Wing measures (they are Che sams) =
bad been carried ont? How could we get 7
dong without Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri )
Texas, Florida and California al Of which s.
would now belong to foreign governments but
