III impossible u avoid discussion as 10 the posi-
ton. duties and feelings Of the Wing party withre
gard 70 the next Presidency Certain Wing journals
have plainly resolved to say and do whatever
seems calculated 10 sobserve the end they contem-
plate. aud those who differ from them In sentiment
have only the choice Of maniiestng that difference
temporarily or lying down to be rode over. we
have lsbored thus far to moderate the warmth o'
these Wings who say they will oppose Gen lay
lor if nominated We cherish no such sentiment
Should Gen T. be nominated by a National Con
vention az the Wing candidate for President we
rneaD 10 do what we Gao TO elect him. We have
already explained that we nterPose no qualihca
tio.. becap.e We do not plate the possibility
OF a Wing candidate being nominated who does
not agree ia sentiment on all essential points WIN
the mass Of the Wing party We mean to utter
no word calculated 10 render II dlihcutio any VINO
think as we do to support any Wing who may be
fairly nominated as our Presidential candidate.
Yet we shall not tho less earnestly aud persistent'y
protest against any assumption that the Wbig can
dida,e has already been scleoted-that the voice OF
portion Of the Wing press and politicians " nm
authoritative declaration of the will OF the wing
be deemed settled until this has been had Tor so
only can we have harmony aud efficiency IN the
canvass of ls4s.
The Courier g. Enquirer. after repeating its
usual TRADE against The Tribune ms no Wing but
ultra Radical, Anti Renter, sc. and instr1ctng tho
Wing Press not to answer our respectful queries
respecting a National Convention. &c Nc. quotes
a few lines from The T,,bpne. as follows
We cannot shut our eyes the fact ibst the South

We find this same idea about the advantage o
electing Gen Tay lor less frankly and iorcibly ex
pressed by the Utica Gazette and Buffalo Com

il we should. we could not hope again To see
President elected from tho Free States Only
four Presidents have yet been chosen from tn
Free States, and they have served but twelv
wears and one month IN all out OF the fifty eeh
wears which have transpired under our FEEDERS
Constitution. In the last contest, each OF the lead

roughly devoted TO Slavery was elected. sul
