A^Strango Tatuity. To a disinterested and candid looker-on there are inany Strange things to be .discovered in the political world. For\a long time there has been in this country* *Uvo poh^icaf parties, both of which have been successful at limes. One of these \parties-has a-sumed the name of Dem- entirelv free from phrty tramels, and would have scorned to tell an untruth on any occasion what ever. But behold nhat a change ! He is -now the editor of a Whig paper, and by slow and sure degrees, has fallen, from tho position of a free and independent man, and is transformed ]nto*ajiiere politician. Wrapped up in His party lio sees nothing else—worships nothing-else.— No Reform is worth a fig to him unless it is cal culated to pro'mote the success -o/ thc beau ideal of his hopes—tho Whig party; His ideas of Whig\psrty opposed the measure, and went in to the canvass arrayed against it. Here we see - Other speeches were i made in support of this' there was a difference- in the policy and measures rajwluukm, after which it was unanimously J O F these Uvo parties, and sonie'consistency jii ocrat; the other is sty led Whig. Years ago there was important nnd essential difference in the principles of these two parlies, and when ,HVi voter Went (o tho polls he knew, he was voting, J 'pei'feel bliss nre 'roalizcd when tlrerWhig party- is in power, and it is utter wretchedness to him wlicii Whig politicans are out of office.
