1 From lh Cincinnati Whig.
THE WHtij P.fiTY,AND ITS DUTY;
The Whig party 4s now it
t!u. majority. Every cacdid
wan 'must 'admit that' fact; and
as every election, wherever held
only increases its strength, it is
clear that it can succeed, if it
will. ' "
Our (li'ity now, is plain. It is
to strengthen -our ranks by a
Memly and united effort. Let
nothing divide tis. Differ we.
may, md do as regards the can
didate; but in principle, we are
one ; in feeling une in oh
jert. And what i that .object?
It is to rescue, the country; from
misrule, and to save the consti
tuting Irom further violation.
' And must we say that this ob-jt-ft
should,-be "kept always
fre.bli in view? all feel that it
ought to be so. . Why then,
seek to embitter each iother?
W hy discuss minor qustionsin a
manner calculated to arouse op
position? We can only be rue
to ourselves, anil to our cause,
by resolving, one and all, to re
member our great object above
consi ie rat ions.
Our partiality is known," -"We
own it. Nor has the time , ever
been, when we have not Ml
thatlJerry Clay onght to be
the r.bnice of the. Whig party.
Shall we be charged, then, with
Hnrrifg against the tril
Uarrisciii or his friends? Our
partiality we are? ready to yield,
whenever and wherever, the
Whig party decjde that be is
their choice. Nor will this be
done rVIuctantly. For turn, or
for Webster, we will then con
tend as earnestly as we now do,
for the man whom we delight to
; honor. . ,
And this wes would' do upon
be principlis we have $tated. -
'No man must be put in compan
nn with our country' a intcres.-
? Every thine: like . party spirit
mns t y i e I (1 He fo r c t h i s c o o si d e r a -He,
indeed HTnlse n hh

Wre either of tb .wnHidatM
t:::fii f. r. the 2p;c,.i'i'?re p;bt
be some excuse fur taking this
stand. .This is not pretended.
Either of them would honor it.
For that man, therefore, who' is
exclusive now, there is no ex
cuse, '' I " '
. Let the Whigs therefore, pur
sue a concilatory coiise towards
each other on this subject. Ac
cusation only irritates.". Suspi
cion and taints excite and, may
. i i. .; m ;i. i
lead to division. JLet every
thing of the kind cease. Let us
one and all, forgetting more and
more our own partialities, look
more and more to our country's
good. . Thus shall we do. our
luty. Thus, and -thus alone
can we secure the good at which
we. mm.
We would call upon our w hig
bretbien then, 'everywhere to
meet: anct mutgie togetner vvitn
generous sympathy, arid
comtnoti regard. We feel, in
deed, that this ought to be so.-
We believe, too, that it will 'be
so. ' lhe 'old J5ay &tate now

own son, Webster yet in spirit
worthy of her, she says, ihe de-
:if Ion of the whig party will be

wh.it does she declare? She is
ready to yield iter own cherish-

tie the will of her friends. Let
Ohio, then, meet hr.r sisier
states in the same spirt!, ;.u';
