OLD Wing and Democratic issues
which divided the patriots Of the
country on both sides, have passed
away. In the South old Wings and
Democrats are now of one mind on
issues then existing. There is no Ma
tional Bank TO oppose or favor. The
difference as to internal improve
ments is obsolete. There are no
Southern Wings TO advocate a tariff
for protection. Every Southern Wing
as well as every Southern Democrat,
now wants what is as near free trade
as possible, and is ready to advocate
only a tariff restricted to the necessi-
ties of the revenue. Every Wing as
well as every Democrat wants re-
trenchment and reform. There can
be no difference except as TO name, and
one name expressive of patriotic
views is as good as another. And if
either old name is chosen in the South,
il is the best sense to choose that which
formerly belonged TO the majority of
the people South, for it would be alb
surd to revive the name Of Wing,
which never had any definite
meaning in this country, and
go back to the dictionaries
to hunt what that meaning was.
Which Of the two great existing par
ties into which the country is divided
advocates reformation Ofthe govern
ment and a return to patriotic prac-
tees, and obedience TO the Undying
principles Of the constitution which
are stronger than the sword, is all
that need now be asked by any n
who would sustain the policy and OBJ
jects always protested by Wings. 1t
is not names that we care for, but the
well being of the country and tri-
umph of the right. Hence we expect
to see the great bOdyOfold line Wings
true and jealous for the march to
power OF the great anti-Radical party
which is organized all over the oun
try, and which is strengthening so
rapidly as to give strong assurance
Of victory. Only a few men
therefore who may have hopes Of pro
motion. which they could not other
wise obtain are found now disposed to
quarrel about a name, and advise the
QuiXOticattempt 10 rupture the Demo-
cratic party which is now as much in
the hands and subject TO the control of
old Wings as of old Democrats. The
duty is plain, and the motive to re-
vive old Wing prejudices, when the
body of Wings are joined with Demo-
Gratis for patriotic purposes, is as trans
parently selfish as it is impracticable
for any good. The Milan (Tenn.)
Times has the following sensible arti-
Gle on this subject, which represents
truly the prevailing sentiment of
Southern Wings. The northern have
gone to John Brown and Charles
Sumner. The Times says:
Once when the issue was between the
Wing and Democratic parties, when the
