Thc Woe Presidency.

Upon this subject the Courier and Enquirer OF
Yesterday contains an article which merits, as it
will doubtless receive, the calm and candid con-
sderation of the Wing party throughout the
Union Upon the Wing Candidate for the Presl
dency the people have decided. There Is nc
room for debate, if any debate were desired
Henry CLAY has been nominated Jy acclama-
ton and though more formal presentation of
his name to the American people may be desra
bic, and will doubtless be made, he cannot be
more efectually nominated than he is now The
question concerning candidate for the Vice
Presidency is still open, and should be thorough
", though dispassionately, discussed. The great
object should be, first of all, to present Can
didate who can, in no emergency, under the ope-
ration of no conceivable motire, desert the prin-
ciples on abandon the measures for aohich the
great Wing Party in the country no,o, and tor
eeer, contend; and next, to place two such names
upon the National ticket as shall heal all diris-
sons in the ranks of the Wigs, hormonize euery
thing that ,cears the least appearance Of diSsen-
sica, and so far as possible soothe the feelings
and ecen the local preiudiceS OF any l'ho mag
feel themselves aggriered Any ticket which
shall efiectually accomplish these two objects, and
which shall be received with the hearty acquies-
cence, the full, cordial appreciation oil the whole
Wing party of 1910, will sweep the country even
more thoroughly than did the great wlilrlwlnd
which made that year memorable and giorous,
and plant the great principles of National Policy,
TO which the Wings are forever pledged, SO deeply
and so firmly that, while their golden fruitage
shall carry Joy and strength into every patriotic
heart, their roots, clinging to the very heart Of
the nation, shall defy forever after, the utmost
malice and dircst enginery' that may strive to
tear them from their bed. If the names of HEN
RY CLAY and DANIEL WEBSTER, names which no
American can ever hear without bounding I'M
pulse of grateful pride, shall seem to be the only
names which can accomplish thus, let them be
placed upon the banner which is to lead US to vic.
tory. The question is one which may well be
discussed before the meeting of the National
Convention by which it must be decided. We
trust it viii be debated fairly, in no resenttul
spirit, but with single eye to the signal triumph
Of VINO PRINCIPLES, and, through that, TO the
enduring good OF this great nation.
I'VE COPY entire the article from the Courier TO
which we have alluded
Tus VICE PREsuENcY.-We certainly canno,
err in saving that the Wing National convention
when i, shall assemble at Baltimore next May, Will
have little to do except determine upon the lndl-
y.d,.sl to be placed upon the Wing ticket for the
Vice Presidency.
By general consent, and with a degree of una
nimlty never before witnessed in the history OF
any party out of power, the PEorLE have deter
mined - unaterably determined - that HENRY
Clay, OF Kentucky shall be the candidate OF the
Wing party Tor the next Presidency. This is so EVIL
den, TO al! that no one in his will pretend serl
ously 10 question 1t; and it is not prcsuming TOO
much to say that every Congressional District IN
the United States can and, we think, ao'A send
Delegates TO Baltimore fully committed TO Harry
OF the West This question being, then, as 1t
appears TO US, completely put at rest, the discus
son arses-who is to De our candidate for the
Vice Presidency?
ihefels certainly no more worthy Wing the
country or one whose nomination would give US
,uose pleasure, than would the selection of the
non 1ohN',M CLARION. But as Mr. CLAY re.
aoes IN hentaeky, We must look North of D,lg
cure ior 'ne vice President. Honest JOIN DAVIS
VI massachusetts, IS one who possesses the conf.
ueiee Oh al me Northern Wings; but there are
,he same ooechons to his nomination ,bs, be,,o
noen urged against our friend WiLl,.u "a Sr,,.
ASp' linen again, there Is JOHN SARGENT Of Pey,,
.ai'a, gooa man and true, whom it Is the
ue,gat OF the Wing Party to honor For each or
IS e.ulee OIL these, we would be most happy to 90 into
H. such another fight as that of 1910. which VII
M ''ng 'e remembered III the history of our country
