THE NEW WIG JMaNGUVRE

Major Noah is willing to resort to anv str,,ooem ~,
manGnvre to defeat the Candidate of the Republican
fary HIS favorte scheme at present is an unpcdged
Electoral Ticket-and he thus harps upon il in The
Evening Star of Thursday last:
AS long as one Opposition electoral ticket only is run
In each state we have no apprehension of having too
many candidates in the field The Richmond ENQUIRER
comoas this new feature, generally adopted with
address and denies that the opponents of MIR
Buren, would be willing vote for an unpledoed ticket
and he calls upon the Wings to choose leader lila 10
break down tins clansh spirit of rallyug under chief
and wearing the livery of master, that the Wings
though divided in the choice of candidate are united
against the nominee of PRESIDENT nothing can be
more preposteou than denying that the Opposition can
rally on one honorable popular unpedged ticket in each
State 1t is in effect saying that there is not suffice n,
patriotism among the people, to confde the destincs Of
te country IN tie hands of unpledged and patriotic CT
tizens While, therefore, free expression of opinion
should be allowed to the friends of each candidate let
men, rely on the principle that unites us
more than on the and finally, dscarding preiudi-
ces and preferences for the strongest-go for
for the Constitution and laws and cannot 90
The Baltimore Patriot reechoes the plan II s,vs I,
is generally understood that the AntVan Buren,
IN Virginia will frame Electoral Ticket by Conven
ton in The city OF Richmond, sometime during the pre-
sent winter Several fthe counties have already berun
to stir in this matter and it doubted that others
WIN, IN due time The Convention thus proposed {,
be held in Richmond will probably determine which of
lhe several candidates now named in opposition to Mr.
Van Buren shall be recommended to the support of the
people Of Virginia Or perhaps, probably an Anti
Van Buren, Electoral Ticket will be framed as in oppo.
son TO caucuses and packed Conventons-leaving The
ultimate choice Of the Presidential candidate where the
Constitution intended to be LETT to the sound discretion
and responsibility of the Electors"
What do these Wing Editors care about the People
They see that the only dilemma, if they succeed is To
leave the Election either to the intrigues of
led Eectors-or Of the II. of r. What care they for
either OF these aiternatives' They strip the People of
all choice in the election of their Chief Magstrae-but
what care they for this Webster Clay may thus be
ultimately foistcd upon the President An political
principle is to be thrown out of consideration The
Danvile Observer justly observes upon this nongre
proposition, well worthy of this Piebald Coalition
"Ihc Nea0 Plan Of Ue UhiOs.--It is pronossd
midst OF their great difficulties to rally the scattered and
dscordant forces OF the Wings under the name of the
anti van Buren, Party-a name being the only bait nj
which they viii bite, to effect amalg amation of
Webster hte HARRISON and Clay and present to the
voters in each State, unpedged ticket headed with
anti-Van Buren, For what principle will the voter 70,
IN Young mus bndfolded Will he support the Blue
Light FedeIalisi, Daniel Webster or the Southern Re-
publican, White Chance must decide. The only
principle IS their preference for any body else rather
than Van Buren, Or in other words their hatred Of Van
Buren,, VIII induce them to sacrifice all principle and
gratly their resentment at all hazards Such men, are
Boosting Repubcans-The loudest brawIers about con-
sstency and independence"
