rhe WING spirl. in Ne.v- York.

The Wings of GsNEssE and YATES Counties
Of LEpYARD, Cayuga Co. FoRr PLAIN, Mont
pomery Co. WEsTFIgLD, Chautauque Co. ant
several other portions of our State, have recently
held Conventions to decide on and indicate tbeiI
future course. In every instance, resolutions
were UNANIMOUSLY adopted in favor of maintain
ing the WIG PRINCIPLES and the WING NAME
and repuoia,ipg ali alliances inconsistent with
either, or with good faith to any portion of their
advocates. The Wings If Yates Countrywide
made most gallant and successful stand in the
late Election-nomneted HENRY CLAY as their
candidate for President in l846. The little town
OF Ledyard, containing some 400 voters, had
about $50 of them present at their meeting. We
had intended to publish the proceedings of all
these meetings, and may do 50 yet, though Por-
ton of our copies have been lost. Suffice it,
however, that their spirit is thoroughly WRIG,
and that the maintenance of our Protective Tariff
and incorporating hostility to the Annexation
of Texas arc uniformly proclaimed as cardinal
principles, which will bs maintained at all haz
ards and through ali varieties Of fortune.
Out of this City, we believe there are just
three Wing journals in our State which are favor
abla 10 Nativism-two OF them In Albany and
one in Ulster County-not one North or Wesl
of Albany. Sc in Pennsylvania, we notice some
traces Of Nativism in Pittsburgh, and none other
out of Philadelphia. In Ohio, not single Wing
journal inclines TO Nativism, and the Senate OF
that State has just disclaimed it by vote Of "a
to 1. So is it, with the exception OF a few large
Cities, throughout the Union. Out of One
Thousand Wing journals 10 the Country, not
twenty incline to Nativism.
These indications are most cheering. Reflec-
ton has reclaimed thousands who, in the first
agony of defeat resolved to enlist in the Native
ranks. And the good work will not stop here.
New-York City, which first famed the flame of
intolerance by the fatal error Of our las; Charter
Election, will retrieve her mistake, SO far may
be, at the Election next April. The great body
of the Wings will never again be trapped as they
were last month"; One such experiment suffices
them abundantly.

Our Relations with ne1tco-T, ier's Extra
Correspondence Of the Tribune. ,..,

Correspondents oil tne iIiDhii-'
Wssmsaros. Dec. q. ls+i-
Did you ever, Mr.. Editor, sec such Message
rs that of President Tyler, on cur Relations 7ith
Mexico Nearly enc week before 1t was deliV-
cred | wrote you letter that War Message
would be sent to Congress Monday last. 1t
did not come till Thursday, and then only tTo
thirds OF it turns cut to be the language OF war'
the remainder is peaceful as 4 dove. There Is
now very little doubt in my mind that Inc ong-
nal Message recommended declaration OF war
with Mexico. / believe that as soon as Mr..
Green arrived with his budget OF news, John
TYLER sat down and penned Message, which IS
the same as was afterwards delivered 10 the Sen
ate and House of Representative, with the e1-
cep!ion of the last paragraph In place OF
strong Recommendation TO annex Texas 1t Tas an
urgent argument in favor OF declaring war
apinst Mexico. l believe also that as Mr. Green
had arrived on Friday, and Congress was not TO
sit on Saturday, that It was really lntsnceo 10
submit the message on Monday, as L wrote you
that the case would te. But the Cabinet was
called together aud wcighty reasons urged against
war on the principle, teo distinctly a"o"ea to
sfr. Bocanepra By Mr. Green n his correspon-
deuca with that iunctionary,-that Texas was TO
be annexed to prevent the abolition Of IN other
words to perpetuate, Slavery. TIE destruction
of our commerce and the want OF justice and
humanity on our side, were all urged and war
was condemned. But q message OF some kind
must be sent in. That, however, which was to
be sent in on Monday the 18th. was DELAYED TIL
Thursday the l9tA; and to justify the harsh and
warlike language used in the message, Mr.
Green is requested TO write letter, which he
,oes on Tuesday the l7tb, four or five days after
his arrival in Washington with the desPatches,
and after the .binet had had oae, Two, or more
sittines upon the matter. This occas:oned the
insertion Of another paragraph in the message re-
ferring 10 the subject of the instalments OF debt
due our citizens After weighing this additional
charge against Mexico, still the case was not
strong enough to Justify q war, and So that winch
was begun as war message, closed with re-
commentator only to annex Texas-to reannex
our own Territory!
The Ancienrs had way OF drawing INFER
ences or Guessing" which would in our day
range under the head of circumsIanilal evidence.
This was embodied in the phrase Elk pede Her
culeap," which means that if you only saw
part of statue (that of Hercules you could
describe it all. Now taking this rule, and mere
ly looking at the beginning of the Message, any
one would swear rs certainly as they saw 1t that
it was intended as war message to the close.
say again, did you ever see such a message!
Why, before writing it, he must have been read

DrcLlvlry OF RyEas-A very slight dtclivity
will suffice 10 give the running motion TO water.
Three inches per mile, in a smooth, straight chan
nell gives velocity OF about three miles an hour.
The Ganges which gathers the waters of the
Himalaya mountains, the Hottest in the world, IS
at eighteen hundred miles from its mouth, only
eight huadred feet above the level of the sea !;
that is about twice as high as ST. Paurs Church
in Londeu, and to fall these eight hundred feet
in its long course the water requires more than
month The great river Magdalena, in South
America, running for thousand miles between
two ridges of the Andes, falls only five hundred
feet in all that distance. Above the commence
ment of the thousand miles it is seen descend
ing in rapids and cataTacls from the mountains.
The gigantic Rio de la Plata has SO gentle de-
scent 10 the ocean, that in Paraguay, fifteen hun

against the current, to Gu elevation greater than
