/ HE WHO'S AGAIN IN A QuANDARY.
Who's to be the Wing candidate for Governor,
the real Simon Pure who is to unite all the frac-
tons Of the pie bald wing party, the MULES, the
feds, the bankites, the Clay men and the Web
ster men! "That is the question" and il Is one

As the matter stands even you had a majority
you could not succeed; and with a clear and I'M

What contrast to these miserable divisions Of
the wings does the democratic party present. 1t
is cheering to reflect upon it We shall 60 in one

We have implicit confidence in his ability to man
age the helm Of State, in the purity and integrity
Of his character as a gentleman, and the ortho
doxcy Of his political principles. The tide Of
public opinion is setting in his favor with mrosls-
table force, in all parts ofhe State, as tho varl-
GUS extracts from letters which we give to day
will show. The quandaries, and divisions and
heart-burning existing among such heterogeneous
mass as compose the self-styled wing pariy ought
not TO be wondered att is the necessary conse-
quence Of tie dlscordant elements which COM
pose the mass. They would be defeated even if
They had the majority, which they clearly have
not.
