THE VIRGINIA FYR.M-Disunited

The Wing goes for Mr. Leigh-and swears it twill
never desert him while possibility Of success re-
mains.-We will make every exertion for him, aud
we call now unon his friends to do the same and let
their voice be heard in the land"
The Staunton Spectator (anoher of the Firm of
the Coalitionj strikes off from its colleague saws
that the Whi, is now "alnlost quick to initiate that
conduct which it was so quick to condemn i'm the
Telegrapl-and queries what the Wing can mean
by "a possibility of success" Ii is ga limit (says the
Spectator) which is vague indeed us with our no
lions oil the present prospects of its canddate" The
Spectator declares its preference for Henry CLAW
The Charlottesville Advocate is also for Leigh as
Its "irst choice, though he is so thorough MIL
liter as we might wish him." Tie Advocate also ex-
presses warm idoatry for Calhoun, and would CON
slider it "a proud and happy day for the country
were he its President
Now, let us call another member Of the Coalition
into Court, viz. the Romney Inell;gencer. He
speaks without the card, but TO the poini:

We leave these gentlemen to row their boat their
own way-yet they have rough waves ahead.-As to
ewing, no wonder the Spectator and the Inte-
gencer are at loss to understand its tactics. The
very Genius of Inconsistency presides over its CO.
lumns. How long has il been since Henry Claw was
the object off idoary? He the very man whom
the Wing had selected before all the world MS its
presidential candidate. IL is not four years ago,
when this inconsistent Wing pronounced him sihe
most highly endo,ced public man, not ofis country on
iJ, but the age-the American citizen, whose renown
after that of the Washingtons Frunklns, Jefiersons
and Henrys, has travelled farthest and widest
he who (whom) his counirymen are proudest to point
TO sustaining the Revolutionary reputation of their
country."-And yet is this man now to be cut-ab-
solutely cnshiered iii his pretensons TO the Pres-
dency. What transgression has he since committed?
III The Wing has changed its opinions, has not Mr.
Clay also changed his ? Does not even the Wing
now claim the merit for Mr.. Clay of coming back to
his First Love--his devotion to State Rights
And Tor whom is MIR. Clay to be abandoned? For
one, who, whatever be his fine abilities or his
principles, has contributed less service-ventur-
ed less-struggled less-and resisted less, the en-
croachments of the Federal Government upon
The Rights of the States, than any other able
State Rights of his age, i'm Virqiaia Is
it for such services, i'm behalf of State RIGHTS ,hat
the Wing is to support Mr.. Leigh? Is the most high
ly endowed man of the age to be showed aside. for
one, whom this same Inconsistent and iactous par
lizan but so recently pronounced to he century be-
hind the age-and, who, instead of Sustaining the
Revolutionary reputation of his country" might
haye resisted The itSelG III sySii, be-
longs TO school which has fallen behind The world
and 'ciH necer again oUertake i-That school which
opposes, itself, with nAexibe obstinacy, to all
change in the Constitution of Societies, and is at
tached, with oriental superstitiop TO the sdsFs ,

gentleman has now become the object of his full
some panegyrc-his selected candidate for the
highest honor in the Republic the very man. on
