The r. Wing 'of yesterday is pleased 10 speak of US
wily foe 10 the Conser rativcs, and 10 sGy that
"Messrs 'Fon,ane ana Duke alone have made the wool
fy proinsely We beg leave to return the compliment
this morning. The Wing and ourselves are indeed in a
strange position. Each OF has dssentiens from
own ranks, no make pretty free respectively with
noble Stircs The Wings Gy to us for an opportunity
Of being heard against Tie Whg-and hlessrs F. and
d. go to The r Wing for The means Of attacking -
Ii Thea they have made our fur by, what will the pub
lie say 10 the hot shot which the two Wings, in 10 day
Enquirer, have fired at their former associate:
Whatever The Wing may say to Far Play and TO CIR
tbs, in oar columns, cannot help congrauating the
Wing the accession Of such an ally ns Senator Fon
tain-. lie has devoted more than ? l2 columns TO our
spsc:a benefit, in yesterdays Whig-and 1t may al
ways calculate upon an eGnil supply, whenever the
Wing wants as much Baiaam TO fill its columns. The
Wing will always find good the epnhet we have ap.
piled to M However he may be annoyed 10y the Px-
PRESTON vet it is the truth which lends all its point
Ii we have found him "bt Of bore, the Wing will
ere long find him equally So Ii is a rank weed, and
will veretate luxurously in any SOIL whether it take
in the Enquirer or the Wing.
We have not time, much less space, 70 dissec the in
Vulnerable beauties which spread the Senator 8
last tiusions 1t took him eight days 10 bring forth his
abor un; and have scarcely as many minutes 10 de
vote its analysis. We must, therefore, content our
selves with touching few of its points, and then dis
miss the subject for the present. The Senator and
ourselves once belonged To the same clique. We
were both opposed TO the Suo Trensury-bolh for the

with the Whigs-neVer Ia lend aid or counenancc to
the Wig Presidential canddae-but 10 oppose single
measure and 20 give liberal support to the Admins
ton every other: Such, we deIslood' to be the
general sentiment, Of the Anti-Sub Treasury party
conservatives they have been yc!ePO-such at
least, we understood to be the course Of MIR. Fon
tame. Frequent Conversations, and the most unIe
served correspondence satisfied Of the community
of our feelings ard the uniformity of our course. This
conviction still furtbe! confirmed by The converse
ton which took place between US on the Both No
vernber, when Mr. Fontaine declared that 1t would not
do for Mr. Rves to speak alone OF his principles that

Administration about Mr.. Van Buren,: Up to that
moment, were satisfied that Mr.. IS position and
our precisely the same. What then was our

Washington, we found comparing our log books,
how much we differed in the course Of four weeks
He Jnsulyng Mr. RIvfs course, ard we dissatisfied
with He, declaring his willingness TO vote for MIR.
Hives, IN spite ct all appearance whilst we expressed
the most anxious doubts about supporting him -
He desiring that he should retire 10 the shades of pri

Whigs-whereas he willing 10 elect him BY their
votes. He indeed Jus;ying union Of votes with the

utterly unsatisfactory, as gInnnd Tor supporting him.
We venture predict for Mr. F. in the best spirit though
with the u,mos, freedom that f Mr. L. supported
BY the Wings, he would be rresis'ihy swept into
