Movements Of the Yssng Whigs---Whig
Elcctornl Ticket.


| A certain portion of the wings OF this city are
men to whom experience teaches lesson, and upon
whom admoRtion and rebuke are alike throw away.
The defeat of their own silly schemes is OF no sort
Of consequence, bat when their ntrigues leopard
The safety Of the whole party, is time for the sen
sbe and discreet wings to take the matter In their
hands, and repress the aspirations OF the mis-
chief makers. An intrigue is now ON foot, whose
object is the nomination for the office OF electors, OF
four unsuitable and improper men, wan not tse
party put stop TO this folly make out strong
and good ticket select four men that the city will
not be ashamed Of they should happen to be cleo
ted. We want men Of character, Of experience,
who are known to the electors in other parts Of the
State and who will command the WI ole wing
strength The mere fact that man has been chair
man of Young Mems Committee, and has thrust
himself before the public every possible coca
sion constitutes no claim to this distinction. What
DO the people care for the Young Mems Wing
Committee! Their pragmatical insolence has given
the party in the interior vast deal Of trouble here
tofsre, and two ar three occasions, it has been
sternly and rghteously rebuked; and it 10 the
height of presumption for them now to press one
or more of their number this city, for the honor
able and responsible Office Of Presidential Eectsr
1t has always been the policy OF all parties to
strengthen their ticket with distinguished names
The democrat, understand this thing, and they will
head their ticket with John Targee some other
equally honorable and worthy man. We desire to
see both parties start fair in the race, and as the
wings seem disposed to risk the plate by carrying
extra weight, we shall give them a hint which we
trust they will have enough to profit by. In
stead Of themselves to be ntruded upon by
boys or clamorous expectants Of any ssrt, let them
~ Co md, date or he itv.
GENERAL BoGARDUs,
PETER SHARPE,
ELLIS Porter,
REvo c. HANcE,
or some ether men of character and standing, and
we shall be sure of fair fight.

Imaum Of Muscat.

ceeds directly to the sea Of Arabia. The valuable

to be sold and the avais to go into the National
Treasury. The commander Of the sultanee is man
of sense and education and he easily comprehended
the reason which prevented tho acceF tsnce of the
presents of the Imaum by Mr.v and trust
that he will have difficulty in explaining the mat

tasteful presents which he carries from Govern
ment to the Imaum, will assist in rendering the re-
suit OF the voyage acceptable to him.
