The VINES UNIFIED The pro .pect be.
fore 'hem-Mr. Clay The Wing party
OF the United States has not, since ITS or.
ganlzaliun under the name il now bears,
been more thoroughly united than a, III,
present time. From all parts of the Union
we hear but one expression Of feeling. From
the North and South, from the Eas, and the
West, the :avOriie, The only candidate of the
Wings for the Presidency, is HENRY Clay
Of Kentucky. Thus far, every delegate to
the National Convention is in his favor
Georgia has spoken through the largest
Convention ever held in tina, State, and
every Wing paper throughout the Com.
menweallh has taken bold, manly, and de-
cidcd ground in favor Of Henry Clay. A
similar spirit breathcs among the Wings of
every State in the Union ;aud /, now seems
to be placed beyond all doub', that Mr.
Clay will receive The nomination OF the Ma
nonal Convention, MI only with unanini'v,
but with an enthusiasm unprecedented IN
The history OF political assemblies. The
Wings, we repeat, were never moro united
Bat more they never were more conscious
OF The patriotism Of their cause, and the
identity cf the principles of that cause with
the rcnl prosperity OF me country. AdmI>
iine as hey do, with aanrmh almost with
ont precedent the public services and pa'ri
olic career-of their caEdidn,e, their attach
ment nevertheless. to Wing principles j.
much stronger. They will 20 forward 10
The struggle, therefore, satisfied in The FIRST
place, that the man Of their choice l. IN the
field, and sill more satisfied because Of the
integrity of their motives, and Of their belei
that in his election, they ~il not only ren>
der justice 10 a tried patriot, but they Will
promote tho hest interes, of their country
Such being The CONDITION OF affairs, the
Wings can ufford to be liberal. They
can with perfect propriely invite thousands
Of the Democracy TO rally with them, be-
cause it is quite apparent that there is not
and cannot be union ia the ranks Of our pc
litical opponents with regard to a candidate.
MIR. Van Buren. the chances are, will be
selected by the Locofoco National Conven
ton. He can never receive my consoles
rable support from the South, or indeed any
enthusiastic support from any section Of the
Union. lie has been weighed in the bal
ance and found wanting. The people have
tried him and have rebukcd him His AID
m'nlsiralion was not fraught with solitary
measure calculated to brighten the honor, to
strengthen the credit; or TO assist the pros.
perity Of the nation. lie identified himself
with Sub Treasursm, and with Sun Treas
uryism he fell. Mr.. Van Buren,, il is the
conviction Of thousands who supported him
al the last election, can never be re. elected
to the office Of President of the United
States. But, we repeat, the chances are
in favor Of his being nominated. His great
competitor, at the present moment is Mr.
Calhoun, who has many noble traits of char.
acter, and much calculated to recommend
him to the South. But the fatal heresy of
Notification still darkens his character, and
weakens his strength in the public mind :.
Besides Mr.. Van Buren,, can and will out.
manage him. The question arises, with
Van Buren, in the field would the entire
party rally with hint They would not at
the last contest, and is he more popular nowS
Few will venture 10 say he is. He vas
too weak 70: success then, and he will
prove far weaker in 1874 We repeat,
that under all the circumstances, the PROS
pee, for the Wings is every way encoura-
ging. Let them keep together; united,
earnest and determined; but let them new
or forget that their true duty to their cause
and their candidate, requires them by lib
eraI' manly and truly American policy, to
win as many converts to their ranks as pos
s'ble, and thus to increase the strength Of
their cause and the majority for their can.
