THE PL4NS or THE WIfJGS

The Wings of the South have been very much shat
tered by the Waterloo Defeat they have received in
Virginia They beaten horse, foot and dragoons--
ana they arc at some loss upon whom rally their
strong enough for Leader Some of them talk Of GO
ing back to their first Love, MIR Clay. "Nothng is
more cer'ain-(says Fair Play, the last Romncy In
That Henry Clay by far the strongest oppose
ton to the elevation of Martin Van Buren, to the Presi-
sidcncy-and under what leader The Opposition rail-
~ win so much justice to itself, and to him Then
what is IT that prevents il. Why, Calhounism and
Eainounism alone. Does not every intelligent in
the Union know and feel this is the fact. But
TO make the still in favor of Van Buren,
Judge White has been conjucd into candidate for the
special beneht OF tins Caihonaism. Can any man of
common suppose that Mr. Van Buren, will lose the
vote OF any State, because Judge White is candidate
either in the East, or the West Z"
Judge White be acknowledged as the leader
oil the National Republicans: they will cornpr-
muse their principles for the purpose of clecting him to
the Presidency and the Wing party greatly in error
when it supposcs that the Jacksones did not at the re-
cent elections fight under the banner of Van Buren,; but
Is much nearer the TRUTH when itstatcs that Wings
had mo leader at au-and why had they no leader:o

White has no hold on the political affections, or preja-
d.ecs they please of either of the great parties Vr-
GINA, have
The Democratic party it is called will cast him
ofl-ond the National Republicans will not take him as
their leader, either in his character of Jacksonisn or Cal
hounism They have their leaders; and these leaders
are known to Vrgniao the Union aye to the world
Some of the Lowland Whias confess Thar The J,dr.

But the great mass of them waerson upon Proy

next card VIII turn up-yc for the present clincng TO
the skirts of the Judge being the most feasible man
at this time to divide Tie Republican Party and deter
mined to run man in the South, with the hope of d.
vuhg the Electoral vote, and transferring the decision
to the House of representatives
The Wings in the North are determined in run

ste seems to be most generally their avorite but they
like their brethren of The South equally decided in
carrying the Election to the H. of r. rather than per-
INIT the PsoPtc TO elect Mr. Van Buren-The signs in
the Northern Heavens evidently increasing

Mr. Uatsh doubts whether Judge White can carry

The N York American also goes first for Webster-
