POLITICS OF THE EDITOR.
The editor ofthis paper was ncyera
politician by trade, yet few politicians
have taken deeper interest in public
affairs than he. And for the edifica,
ton of his readers and the benefit Of
the rising generation he deems this
an occasion proper for him to say OF
himself individually and collcctivel "
that he is now, always was, and prooa'
bly will long continue TO DO II Whig--a
spirit Of '76 Whig-a Henry Gay

not back to the time when he was not

tv OF "Williamson in the Wing State Of
Tennessee. lie is therefore by inherl'
lance, by instinct, by tradition, and by
conviction, II Wing, But one circum-

have got TO calling it that gallant old
party'-that GLORIOUS old patriotic
party'--and have been onIogizlng Clay
