The Wings of the Country.

We agree with the Louisville Journal, that
thos" old-line Wings who thought it their duty
10 support Mr.. Buchanan for the Presidency
have no longer any excuse for acting with
the Democratic party. They should, there
fore. return to their old party, and do ali they
can for the success Of the Opposition ticket in
III. coming contest. The journal says.
Hirh. Why.
The Opposition in every respect cherish
the views and purposes most dear to old line
Wings by virtue Of their Whigism; and the
Opposition, as such. entertain no other views
and PURPOSES Whatever may have been the
case heretofore. the old line Wings have no
further excuse for acting with their natural
and traditional opponents. Not the shadow
of an excuse. The moment for which they
looked forward with SO much anxiety, when
four years ago they consented to unite tempo
rarily with the Democracy, and for which. II
they have been true to themselves. they have
never ceased to yearn, has AT length actually
arrived. The necessity under which they
conceived themselves to lie. Of accepting the
Democracy rs the least of two evils. no long
rrrxists. The progress Of events has dissi-
pated it, They are once more free to give eff
iect To- their settled convictions and instinc-
tive sentiments. without infringing q scruple
ar disturbing prejudice.
