Public Opinion.

The Wings who stood to their co!ois IN our iatc
Charter Election in the face OF strong tcmpta-
tons To unite with local party TO secure a local
triumph, are every where regarded with respect
by their opponents and admiration By Their
friends The 5000 votes for Morris Franklin,
and over 5000 for the Wing Charter Tick cts, in
utter hopelcssness OF success, but IN steadiast adj
hercncc 10 Principle and Universal liberation,
have saved many thousands to Henry Clay next
November. They have demonstrated that the
Wing Party cannot be dragooned or seduccd into
Naiivism; they have shown that NEw.YoRK
cannot really be; for, after all their shouts Of vic
tory, in the flush and hcy-day of the Native
excitement, The neto party IS in a minority in our
City, as the Official Canvass shows.
The following is among the resolutions passed
By the Clay Club of Syracuse, at great meeting
on Tuesday evening last, which was addressed
with great power by Gen. AMOS P. GRANGER and
Gen JAS X. LAWRENCE. Letters from Hon. ID. D..
Barnard, J. n Reynolds, Senator E. Rhoades
and VIM. X. Strong, Honorary Members, were
read, and Resolutions strongly protesting against
any disturbance Of the Tariff, and in favor Of
National and State Retrcnchment and Economy
were adopted The following is one OF the Rcso-
lutions;
Resoired, That the grateful thank. OF the Wings
of the interior are due 10 that faithful band of davo
ed Wings in the City OF NewIork, with MoRRis
FRANKLIN al their head, who, in the face of almost
universal detection and certain defeat. stood up firm
ly in the defence und support oi Wing principles
and men, and thus preserved their consistency Us
true Wings and true friends OF Henry CLAY
Their noble example, so worthy OF praise and hon
orable remembrance, will recall the wanderers back
10 their duty, and the ground they occupy will iur-
nish rendezvous for The reunion and reorganization
OF the parry, when the iaIlaces and hollow pretsn-
sons OF "Natirc fmericaniSm' shall be dissolved
and cyaporate IN - thin AIR.
u The defeated Loco Foco candidate for
Mayor in St Lonis, Mr.. Reilly, is subject, ac-
cording TO the Republican, 10 periodical fits of in
sanity, and is now in the Lunatc Asylum-the
excitement of the late election having brought on
an attack OF more than usual severity. Why
can't the Loco-Focos leave these unfortuna,es
alone7 They certainly have insanity enough in
their party without going 10 the mad-housc for It.
0J The American had some very just stric-
lures last evening on the statements which have
appeared in The Tribune respecting the Butler
and Schott affair. The American does not ap-
pear to have observed, however, that the matter
first crept into our columns through letter from
our Philadelphia correspondent, received at mid
night, and necessarily hurried to press without
Editorial examination. The later statements
were inserted to qualify this, and because what
had already appeared was deemed By friends of
the respective parties to require farther clucida
ton.
When duel is fought, it is difficult to suppress
any allusion to the fact In journal; and when
the subject OF the duel is VIGOROUSLY the wife of
one of the parties, it is hard to determine that it
is always better 10 leave the matter unexplained.
In some instances, few words will serve 10 vim
dicate innocence or rebuke vice. We heartily
concur with the American, however, that the less
tina: can in fairness be said of such matter the
better.
As to The morals of fashionable society'-by
which we understand neither refined nor GOOD
;ocicty-wc think the less said on that subject,
also, the better.
