and thus allowed an Anti Rent Loco Foco to slip
in by some $50 majority over regular and unex-
cepuonable Whig candidate who is not an Anti
Renter Sach is The basis OF toe Couriers declana-
ton about Wings being required by The Tribune to
sacrifice their principles and disgrace themselves
by voting for pledged TO repudiate their obi
cations and commit murder in open resistance OF the
laws Of the land
The Courier goes on to express hope" that
the" expediency Wings Of the Evening Journal and
Tribune school have been frustrated in their design
TO obtain control of the approaching Convention"
and proceeds,
we speak advisedy when ,sy. that the of
these papers has already driven very many OF our best
Wings into the ranks OF our opponents In the recent
election the bot few votes and il the truth
were known. il would be discovered that nttead Of
staying away from the Polls but many OF our fents

for the Convention Not that our ticket was not con

more safety 10 throwing the responsibility Of the Cons

To bring this article already tooong, 10 close, 1t 10
pow manifest all that the principles of Governor SEW
ARDS letter. and the ncuca,ons OF the Albany Even
ing Journal and New York Tribune must be repuoiaed
or the Wing party must separate. For ourselves we

Here we baveit plumpiy avowed that the Webb
Wings have not only refused TO vote voted the
Loco Foco tickets in order to throw the Convention
into the bands of the Loco Focos, bat they are now
"ready at any moment to form union with the con-
serva.ive portion Of the Loco Focos TO PROSTATE the
Wings who still; believe there is at least equal "safe
ty" and more principle in voting for Wings than for
Loco Focos The Courier not only courts a union
with the Loco. Focos defeat those who clingto the
Wing standard, but he even anticipates rally OF the
proposed coalition 10 defeat the New Consultation
which they are to have the making of! Notwth
standing the "more safety" OF putting the Conven
ton into Loco.F oco hands it is deemed still proba
bly, necessary to reject the Reforms which that We
ry Convention will make
The inculcations of The Eve. Journal and Tr
bune must be repudiated or the Wing party must
separate" is the magisierial dctum OF the Courier.
SO be it, then Better thousand times open hosti
ity than secret treachery. The malcontents nomi-
naly in the Wing ranks never point 10 Wing
State Convention as The proper tribunal to deter
mine who are wrong in the premises they propose
no resort but 10 the standard of their own wills
Nine-ienihs of the party must succumb to The fac
tious fragment, who will not vote for men OF
their own choice if their election is likely 10 secure
a Wing majority. They will even intrigue to de-
fea, such lifelong upright, able Conservative Wings
as were nominated in this City rather than the
risk of having Wing majority in the Legislature
or Convention Let such take themselves off and
form just such unions as they may or can. They
will be grievously disappointed, if we not in the
men they account Conservatives in the Loco Foco
ranks; for the Old Hunkers in the present Legis
lature have proved mere thorough Reformers than
the Barnburners, and We believe they will also in
the Convention. And whatever union the Webb
Wings may be able to form, we want no combina
ton at all to defeat them. When the Convention
has concluded Its labors it win submit the result in
separate propositions to the People, and all we ask
is that each voter shall express bis independent
Judgment thereon. No coalitions will be needed 10
secure the adoption generally Of salutary amend
ments; only let the People vote. And, as TO the
position and future operations of the Webb Wings,
we think il may be best illustrated by an anecdote;
and since the leader of the movement is Military
character we will take one in bis line for the pur-
pose. to wit: 1t happened in one of our country
towns that the Captain Of a food wood Militia
company bad given mortal offence to his fellow
soldiers and. in consequence, when trainn day
came round, not soul of them appeared on the
ground. The faithful orderly, who had duly warned
them out alone appeared; and the disappointed
Captain compelled to drill him only. The facts
were nosed about and some townsmen indiferently
versed in the Military art called on the Captain
day TO learn how he go. through with the maneu-
why. there was no trouble the Military
Che,ain modestly averred," except in one instance:
When gave the order Rear rank, take distancer
it was like parting soul from body
