ANOTHER PREMATURE MOVEMENT.
The Republican openly repudiaies National
Convention TO nominate a President, and calls
upon The different States to nominate Taylor
Electoral Ticket. In Virginia, we believe, there
have been only tpo Taylor meetings, (Nortok
and Halifax, and these many months since; and
ve, public opinion is to be foreslalled, and
Taylor ticket put up. These movements OF the
who's we have no right 10 interfere with; but 1t
is our duty 10 inform The Democrats OF what is
going on in the enemy's camp. We have mol
room this morning for some interesting extracts
from MIR. Clay's peculiar organ, The Lexington
fRvA Observer. These and other indications 60
n confirm the opinion which we have held and
ayowed from the first, that MIR. Clay is TO be The
Wing candidate, and that all The capital acquired
for General Taylor is 10 be transferred over 10 The
banner OF Mr.. Clay. The signs point unerringly
10 this contamination.
In the mean time we repubish from the Phia-
delphia News, good Wing paper, "a Word OF
Canton" for the benefit OF the Republican. II
we mistake not, nearly every Wing paper in this
State is in favor of National Convention and
ayows sentiments similar TO those avowed BY the
Philadelphia News:
ave see calls for meetings TO nominate Pre-
siden,a candidate 'i,yespcetire Of party" II the
Wings will look at these notices, they will ind
auacbed to them the names of those who founded
and ate mpled 10 SUSAN third party by break
ing down The Wing Organization. Many OF our
friends fell into this Trap and unknowingly con-
,rbuled 10 general Locotoco restoration. We
nus, they will no, be again deceived.
"As Whiss, we have but one safe course TO
nursue. and that is 10 abide the decision OF the
National Convention, and 10 make all nomina-
lions subject to its ratification. We need NOT
cav If the nominee OF the Convention be Taylor,
CLAW Scott or any other pledged and reliable
Wing, be will receive the support Of the whole

DISGRACEFUL.

The Democratic press has been most unjusily
accused of slight and disrespec.tow Gen. Tay-
lor. To show with what rudeness and insult he has
been treated by large portion of the Wing party,
we quote The following from the Boston Courier,
a leading Federal print in New England. twas
bad enough in Daniel Webster to cast unworthy
reflections upon the heroes of the Mexican.war-
Blu, his organ far outslrips him in The virulence
of its abuse:
"W. do believe that Gen. Taylor is 'one Of
those huma q butchers who follow The trade of war
for bru.al love for its e1ci'cments; or, what is
worse, fgat lore for he money '0i'ea nc gets for
his serricea-a the price Of human blood SO far from
knowing this is not his character, we have never
heard any thing of him, lha, could, in The leas.

The Wings in the Tennessee Legislature present
the greatest chaos in their attempt TO elect U. b
Senator TO succeed Mr. JaInagin. This gentle
man, il will be remembered voted for the Tariff
OF 1876, bul 10 ccncilialc The anger OF his Wing
constituents published an address, in which he
ayowed that his motive was 10 throw The respon-
sibiity of The casting vote upon Mr.. Dallas and
thereby do a political injury 10 The Democratic
party. Nothing, however, could wipe out Ibis
plague-spol Of his having opposed The Tariff OF
1912, an Mr.. Jarnagin is dropped By his party
"Iike hot potato" The election for Senator
commenced on the 29ih October. Three candi-
daies all Wings, were nominated, viz; Messrs.
Reese and Neherand, from East Tennessee, and
Mr.. Topp, from West Tennessee. On the first day
there were FIVE ballots, and The vote for Mr.. Topp
The highest on the list, reached only nineteen;
while The s,atisrine vote ranged very high, from
40 10 GO. On Friday, four more ballots were Ia
ken, ard the Legislature adjourned after the ninth
ballot without efecling choice. The vote TOR
Topp (slill the highest nominee) reached only
27-the scattering vote continuing unprecedenl-
edly large OF this John Blair had on The sixth
ballot 40, and Judge Dunlap 80 on The 7Ih and 20
on the 9Th ballot. How long this angry quarrel
Of the harmonious Wings" lasted, We cannot
say. They may be even now striving 10 choose
Wing Senator! Forty-tco different indiVidu-
ais, besides the three nominees, were voted Tor !
