THIRD wI1IG NOMINATION.

IkklhSD SvlfAU NOMaNATAON. )
BY the wing organ Of yesterday, we learn
that the opposition have got up third tick.
ct for State officers, viz Edward ID. Ellis,
for Governor. and John Biddle, for Lieu
tenant Governor. The whig organ says
that "qu'te numerous delegation from seq.
eral counties assembled at The State House
an Wednesday, and nominated Edward d.
Els, Of Monroe, for the office Of Governor
md Maj. John Biddie, Of this ciry, for that
of Lieutenant Governor" We know that
the wings had political farce on the oc-
casion referred 20, bui we did not suppose
that they would seriously proclaim il TO the
prblic as an actual nomination. The MI.
merous delegation from several counties"
into which the wing organ magnifes its
friends, consisted Of just Sepen selfappoin.
ted members, viz: Edward ID. Ellis, and
John Bro,herson, of Monroe John AFFORD.
of Macomb and John Biddle and John
Wright, of Detroit ; and two other individ.
nails, whom we do not know, and who have
ben in Michigan hardly long enough
10 have a local habiation,' ifa name. Such
was the numerous Delegation from several
countess which has played the latest
test opposition farce that the wings have gu,
up in Michigan. We say wing farce, be.
cause it was wing from beginning TO end.
The runner who first attempted to get it up
was wing the hand.bills. calling it were
printed at the office of The wing the resi-.
dent delegates composing the Convention
have acted with the wings, to man, for the
last year the candidates are wings, their
nomination is announced through the wing
organ and we give them much JOY of their
wing bantling.
There are now three opposition tickets
in the field against Messrs. Mason and
Mundy, the democratic candidates. Those
are Messrs. Woodbridge and Welch-El.
lis and Biddle--and Trowbridge and Ba.
con. The first named is ultra federal IN It's
character. Mr.. Woodbridge is federal.
list of the old school, and he has always been
consistent in the support ofits doctrines
He and Mr.. WEIGH were both members OF
the Convention which framed the Cons,i-
tuition of this State, and they both labored
to incorporate their iavoriie political princi.
pies into that instrument.
The nexti order, as decided opponents
of the democratic party of this Slate are
Messrs. Ellis and Biddle. MIR. Ellis has
been in the Senate Of this State since the
first organization of the State Government
and he has in that body waged uniform
opposition to Gov Mason and his measures.
On every party measure that has risen in
the Senate, Mr.. Elliss has always voted in
the minority. To the political course OF
Mr.. Biddle, the same remarks will apply.
Ever since the State Government was or.
ganized, Mr.. Biddle has co-operated with
Mr.. Ellis, and zealousl opposed every lea.
ding measure of the democratic partv.-
He was delegate to the wing conventions
last year, and at the fall election he was the
unsuccessful federal candidate for Senate
aga;ns. Judge Mcdonnell. We repeat, that
the democratic party of Michigan has no
for the last two years had two more active
and decided opponents than Edward ID.
Ellis and John Biddle.
The most preferable candidate which the
opposition have got up for governor, ami1
their multiplicity Of tickets, is Mr.. C.. G..
Trowbridge. lie is altogether more of a
democrat than either of his wing rivals.-
While M, ssrs. Ellis and Bidde have
for tho las; two years been fighting
the democratic party at all points. Mr..
Trowbridge ofen acted with MS. While
hey have denounced every public act
Governor Mason, Mr.. Trowbridge has gen.
orally approved them as the dictates of I,
iudicious policy. Until his late nomination
Mr.. L. was friend of Mr.. Van Buren,. a
supporter of Governor Mason and very
considerable of a democrat and we mus
in candor say, that it either of the three
wing candidates for governor were 10 sue.
coed, we should prefer Mr.. Trowbridge.
We should here take occasion To caution
our friends against allowing Themselves to
repose in false security in consequence 81
this apparent division among orr opponents.
1t may be intended rs game OH the part
of The wings 10 lead US TO believe that we
can, in cons quenco ofthesc divisions. elect
our candidates without; contest, and W.,
must be prepared for it. Let every dem.
ocrat rally to the pools and contend as Wig.
orousiy for Gov. Mason as if his apponenis
were united upon a single competitors"
