To the Wings OF Orange.

J GENTLEMEN: II Is known 10 the cit
zens Of the county Of Orange, that or
Thursday Of May Court Last, meeting D
The Republican Wing party was held ii
llilisborough Cor the purpose Of nominating
candidates for the next Legislature. Al thai
meeting, through The kindness and partial.
ny Of my political friends. more lhsn from
any merit on my part, or from any claims
which had upon the citizens Of Orange
my name was selected and placed upon
the ticket as one Of the candidates Tor a
seat in the House Of Commons.
Feeling deep interest in the success Of
the Wing cause, and being always ready
and willing to contribute my part (how-
ever humble my preiensions may bel TO the
support and maintenance Of those princi-
pies which we all in common profess; and
believing al that time, that The local ques-
lions which have been agita ted for some
weeks past would not have any direct
bearing upon the approaching election,
most cheerfully responded TO the call OF
my political friends, and accepted the no.
mlnaiion. :.Y ~.
But | find upon further observation, that
there are some individuals in the ranks who
are not satisfied, and who intend to be go
yened and controlledin the course which
they pursue entirely BY questions of local
character. Considering the position which
Ioccupy in relation TO some Of the indirid-
ua.s concerned upon both sides OF these
questions, as well as my own individual
opinions often expressed both in public and
private; and lastly, my peculiar location
as citizen of the county-all these causes
combined together, must necessarily place
me between two conflicting interests, ope-
rating prcjudicially TO me as an indiyidu-
al, and ultimately injurious to the Wing
cause. Hence the only course left for me
to pursue, in order 10 do myself justice,
and prevent il possible from embarrassing
the Wing cause, is to withdraw from the
contest. and give place TO some other man
who will be more acceptable TO the peo-
pie.
! have always been ready and willing,
on former occasions, to yield TO the wish
cs Of my political friends, however great
my personal inclination might be against
il; and il is with pain and regret that am
compelled TO decline doing SO on this oc-
casion.
Ii is my honest opinion, that withdraw
ing my name from the ticket and adding
that of some other man, will give strength
TO the cause; and | would merely say in
conclusion, bring out some good man, and
he shall have my support, and what little
influence ] have, without regard to his To-
cation or his opinions on local questions.
Since | see the course the Loco Foco par
~ have pursued, | no longer hesitate what
rouse TO take. | shall vote for principles,
not for men; and although can only speak
for myself, do not hesitate in
declaring that the great mass of the wes-
Tern Wings will pursue the same course.
hope my political friends will accept
his apology for my refusing to become
and ever believe me faithful
,a-laborer in the great Wing cause.
| remain your most humble servant,
MICHAEL w. HOLT.

The Baltimore American says: We
stated q day or two ego that The General
Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. in session in New York, had ap-
pointed a c"mmittee 10 devise, ifpossible,
some "plan Of pascifcation'' on ,he sub
Ject Of slavery. On Saturday morning
Bishop Soule, on behalf of the committee,
reported that after calm and deliberate
investigation of the subject entrusted to
them. they had been unable TO agree up
on any plan of compromise to reconcile the
views of the northern and southern con-
ferrnces. The report was accepted, and
the committee discharged from any further
of consideration of the subject.

COON RHYMES. &c.

Alter much travail the wing poetasters
have at length discovered word that
RHYMES with the name of their candidate
for Vice.Presldent. The honor Of the dis
covery belongs to COL Kilbourne OF
Warrington. 1t goes thus:
'IIurrn, hurra. the coons are rising,
For Henry Clay and frelinghysing,"
The rhyme and sense might both be
much improved thus:
Hura. hurra. for The Coon and Bison,
Henry Clay and frelingheyson.
OF course we shall expect the thanks o
the Coon Club for the suggestion.
A wag at our elbow thinks both the
sense and the poetry could be beitered thus

"THE OLD COON TRIED"

Mr. Clay has written letter to Inc Ed
tors of the National Intelligencer in which
he virtually admits that since his nomlna.
ton for the office Of President he has
erased to tlectioneer. After aludins to
his nomination, he says:
1.-The election of a Chief Magistrate of
free, great, and enlightened nation is
one of the gravest and most momentous
functions which the people can exercise.
1t is emPhatlcally, and ought to be eAclu-
sively, their own business Upon the wis
dom oflheir choice depends the preserva.
ton and so,mdness of free institutions, and
the welfare and prosperity of themselves.
In making it, they should be free, Impair
tial and wholly unbiased by the conduct
of n candidate himself. Not only in my
opinion, it is his duty to abstain from all
solicitation, direct or indirect, of their sui
frages, he should avoid being Voluntarily
placed in situations to seek, or in which
he nigh, be supposed to SEEK to influence
their Judgment"
What contemplate special pleading!
Did he not know, did not all his friends
know, months ago, that he was to be the
candidate of the Federal wing party! In
the above paragraphs his own mos, mex
cusable conduct portrayed, as with pen"
Gil of light; and yet he pretends to he IN
nocent of the charge Of electoneering, and
says he will not, as candidate, seek to
"bas" the choice of the people!
r The whole matter may be summed up
: in few words: MIR Clay says to the peo-
= pie, Il rave been electioneerlng for some
time for the highest Office in the world,
e and know have been doing wrong; but
| will make this bargain with you fellow
J. ci,izens-if you will elect me | will not,
: as q candidate, e)ec,ioneer any more,"-
}, Will the people put their hands and seals
81 to that contract! Great as MIR Clay con-
fessedIy is in the business of "Jorg aiming
p" and selTng," we believe they will not.

THE STUMPING CANDIDATE.

Tie Charlesiown Mercury, the organ of
Mr. Calhoun in South Carolina, speaking
of Mr. Gays appearance there, says:
1--WE felt scnslbly the degradation TO
our republican institutions on Friday last,
when we saw a veteran as Mr. Clay is, in
the service Of his country, hawked about
as some great beast of wonder, to catch a
few votes for that station which should be
the reward alone of the lofty patriot and
pure statesman"
Though mot travelling for political ef.
ect, or with any selfish views his whole
speech was made up Of political matters
in which laudaiory commentators OF aim

litical opponents, were freely INDUCED"

1t is well known to many that a great

that ever has been done since the ever
memorable Hartford convention; not c.

up for recruits to attend the organization

headed among others by that would-be

prccedcntcd effort was made to induce
the young men of Rutland county to at
tend this anticipated mass meeting, and
in order to give it effect, long list Of
names from all over the county were in

For tho Age.

As we are again approaching the con-
fines of another Presidential election, we
perceivc that we contend, not only with
the wing party, as it regards NUMBERS
but also, with their stratagems and frauds
Every means, no matter how base, is
resorted to, in order to retain their shame
full and inglorious achievement of l34o'
Their moneyed aristocrats, spectators
and politicians are traverslng the country
creating excitemcnts cqualed only, IN
point OF baseness, meanness and lowness
by those which characterized their party
during the last Presidential campaign
While the democrats, the principal part
of whom are agriculturIsts, the very bone
and sinew of our commonwealth are en-
gagcd in their proper vocatlons, these
(whig) renegadcs are going about "llke
a roaring lion seeking whom they may
dovour;" taking votes on board OF steam
boats, railroad cars and even in some OF
our literary institutions, in order to pub
lish their tremendous wing ma]orltles(')
Now, what does all this amount to! sup
pose they have majority on board OF
every steamboat, railroad car Sc, in the
country, what does it show in regard to
the result of the next clcction' 1t shows
that majority Of the travelling commu-
nifty only are wings. 1t does not carry
the shadow of probability that this is
true representation oithe political strength
of our country, Suppose they were to
take the same vote among our merchants
or manufacturers, and it should result In
wing majority, would this be any just
criterion by which to Judge of the state
of politics? We should expect, prio7,
to find wing majority among these class
es. We may find in one particular class
a majority of wings while another elias;
has a majority of democrats. Hence
nothing but vote of the nation can de-
eide this question.

of some of the wings of the Vermont Med
