NEW CANDIDATE FOR TIE PRESIDENCY.
RICH MOND, VA.


Mr.. Corwin If Ohio is playing bold game
for the Presidency. lie looks 10 The Abolition
ISIS and anli.wa. men OF the North to rally
around him. There is bo'dness and courage
in his course. which contrast iavorably with
those Wing politicians who dencunce The war;
and still profess 10 be in favor Of its vigorous pre-
secu,ion. MI. G.. does not mince matlers-he as
sails The war as auocioas. unjust, anu aphorieu
by God and man. Imbued with these views, he
declares his solemn determination not TO vote che
man or ono dollar 10 carry il on lie woua Win
draw our troops in The face oil The enemy, ana
make us contemplate and dssfacea hauoh IN
the ewes Of the world. Thisis bold enoush-out IT'S
natural consequence ofihe premises upon which
he sers mi If This war be SO de,estable and cIi-

Blu, wha, Nh. C. will lose from the "ConseT-
valve Wings" he will probably make up from
the ranks OF the unccmpromisng an'i-slavefy
portion Of that party. We make choice eS-
tract from the Wing Boston Courier. No'hins
can exceed the bitterness Of its assaults, not only
upon the administration, bul upon some disln-
oshed leaders of its own party. We make ihese
quotations, to show thai there ale seeds OF DIS
cord in The Wing party, which will yeI bring
forth bite. fruits fatal 10 its harmony and sue
cess. The Wings profess 10 rejoice over Inc
discussions in our ranks. Time wi" show that
their path is full of ambitious aspirans and con-
hc,ing principles, which will again dash their
hopes. Here is what leading Wing paper
SAYS OF its associates:
