No, no, Messrs Editors of the New York Gazette we
should be proud of receiving your good Wishes but
cannot consent to purchase them on such terms and
by such sacrifice of all our principles
The Boston Atlas and the Boston Gazette are pleased
to devote not little of their precious columns to our

own party, and leave the Wings to manage their own
affairs in their way This overwcenne anxiety
displays chagrn and modification ut the selection of
the Convention. 1t looks amazingly though the En-
qurer really feared that the Wings would finally pre-
vail over their opponents and leave the Enquirer not
only in minority in the Old Dominion but throughout
the country We offer this advice in the most friendly
spirit towards our veteran contemporary and hope that
he will profit BY it,
Thanks, Sir for your rcry friendly advice, and we
should be happy to take it, if you entirely out
in your calculations. So far from having any fears
that the Wings would prevail you honestly,
that were never more confident of success,

tempting to lash up heir partizans into exhibition
of tagging and reluctant enthusiasm-but depend up
it, in the South It'll very uphill work. In Virginia,
some of their strong men have deserted Gen Harrison
whereas our ranks strengthened and more decided
than ever. 'sThe broken and distracted fragments"

the nomination has been received in Virginia with
the GOODNESS Of the Northwestern which blows
around our house. We have seen the deep dis.
appointment, which has pervaded the Wings around
us-and are now receiving similar echoes of
disgust and dissenson among the Wings from the
country. But the Atlas also fatters itself with
hopes of divisions! What he says about
Mr.. Calhouns disposition to support Gen. Harrison,
he will now admit to be all phantom. He will read
its refutaton in the letters from Washington, the in
terview between Mcssrs Van Buren, and Calhoun, and
the scurrilous and npassioncd denuncations of the
Richmond Wing The Atlas also counts without its |
host in referring TO the dscords between Benton and
Calhoun (of which VIC have seen much trash promul- |
gated in the newspapers to the contests between the
various candidates for the Vice Presidency (a which
will be duly adjusted in due timc) and to hasty
