Wing partizans, some of them are begin
ming to look around, for some more full
"embodiment Of Wing principles" They
are mortified and chagrined at the course
of the old Gen. He has n effect declared,
that he knows nothing about their political
questions; and cannot under any circum-
stances consent to become the, candidate OF
a party. They had expected to find in him,
an available candidate, by seizing upon his
military fame. But the old soldier is too
honest, to suffer himself to be used by a
corrupt and Inscriptions cabal of poiiti-
clans. Perfectly Indifferent to all their ca
jole, he has to this time, constantly turned
the cold shoulder upon them. Hence the
murmurs that are every day growing louder
in the Wing camp. Some of them are now
convinced, that they cannot use him ss a
catspaw; and by his aid fasten upon the
country their old exploded and execrable
measures. Wing journal after journal has
declared against him; and the New York
Tribune, the great organ of Northern Wing
cry has at length run up the name of Hen
ry Clay the "Great Embodiment" of Wing
principles, as its choice, for a nomination
by the next National Wing Convention
This no doubt will have its effect upon the
Wings of the country. The manifestations
in favor of Mr.. Clay are already beginning
to show themselves. The Association Of
Young Wings of New York have declared
in his favor, and a Wing meeting in Erie
Pennsylvania has also recommended him to
the next National Wing Convention. The
behests Of the TribuRe have usually had.
their effect upon the action of the Wing
press, and since its declaration against Gen.
Taylor's chances for a nomination by the
Wing party, there has been an evident
change in the tone of many of the leading
papers Of that party. This looks ominous-
SO much so, that we have now no idea that
Gen. Taylor will receive a nomination at
the hands Of the Wing party. The recipi-
ent of that favor, if favor it may be called,
will be "Harry of the West" or some 9TH
er full and undoubted Wing. We expect to
see a triumph of Democratic principles, no
matter who may lead the forces of the op-
position, but we have beaten the great
champion Of Whigery SO often that We
would really like to have the fun of beating
him again. We repeat, that we have now
no idea that the universal Wing party, will
beStow a nomination upon Gen. Taylor
Many of their leading organs, have declar-
ed against him, and others have abated
much of their ardor for hint is only the
small concerns that still pipe away on the
wrong note.
