Harnaony among the wings.


The Republican cannot complain that should use
the evidence furnished by the wing press, in order to
show that there is not the utmost harmony among our
opponents and that by the admissions Of the respective
wing organs their party destined 10 defeat ne wing
and the Times assert unqualfedy that unless thefe DC
wing national convention the wing party mus sustain
signal defeat The Republican, on The other hano,
swears with equal emphasis, that whoever may be the
nominee of the wing national convention, ne VIII De
beaten to death, Whatever course, then may be taken
we have direct wing evidence thai the wing party Is TO
suffer another defeat in ls4s. These not own
specuatons but the deliberate admissions OF wing papers
themselves
secrets of the enemys camp again make lew brei
from the Republican and the Times The former
paper says:
Such of the wing presses as have labored throw
plainly what they have given food to the loco
sufficient evidence to convince them that General Taylor
and uDfalfering wing; YET they Were very
siah,ed npon ha subject a thenseyds They Jsepsd him
whig yet II he acoe not they could not support
less course. General Taylor must declare himself! He
must submit the ordeal OF conveniion Consequently
all hesitation and their condenceheir halibelei,
and their fearshave afforded ample material for the loco
foco presses crow over wing discussions"
Ii then goes show that it does aim at mprac
tcable results such the election of Henry Clay even
should he be nominaed-for it says: Notwithstanding
affection for Mr. Clay, not green enough TO
be coaxed Or driven into the scheme o. ms NINA ,b
whole wing party united upon hum, except Inc aOoii
tionists we were unable to elect him..
Here two important facts are admtted--first, mat
Henry Clay beaten IN 1914, moi unfairly as the
wings once coniended, but because the wings were not
strong enough and secondly that the formed
portion OF the wing party IN lo1l ana did MOI uiihh
proper to vote for Mr.. Clay.
We shall now give specimen OF the views OF the
other branch Of the wing family I VIII be seen oeloW
out of the whg party and that if Gen. Taylor be elected
after the mode proposed by the Republican, will amount
10 a rupture OF whg organization, and, consequently,
be dangerous to {" the preservation OF the constitution
The Republican of this city, with its newly adopted
an,ipathies to wing national convention, sonaby
purues in seconding the declarations oil
General Taylor in his late letter 10 Dr. Bronson, that he
will not accept office of President, unless called by the
general people, and without regard TO their
tical differences I" and that he cannot any per-
nit himself be brought before the people exclusively by
any the political parties that now Gas he inks) so un1o
u,iaey divide the country 1t is not enough, indeed,
order Gem Taylos views thus most xplcity
announced abandon the expeden of national conven-
,on best of securing unanimous action Tor
throughout the country, whether by State county wing
conventions, by the expressions oil tue wing press would
equally within the restriction OF General Taylor, that
will be brought before the country exclusively by
any party Under the plain meaning OF his language,
must understand him insisting that all party organ,@0
fo evy descriptions must be abandoned, ne icH not
obvious Interpretation, readily consents TO the condition
rbed totcs all parties the fnds and avows its pur
pose support General Taylor in the approaching election,
whether in so doing have forsaks the cig party not
she two parties it declares, 'may nominate, if they
please managers Of both will be beaten; for Cen
Taylor has strength with the masses than any other
in the country.
Upon this point do hesitate declare entire
dissent from the Republicans views We believe the
preservation OF TIE wing party to DO aiimportant to the
that General Taylor, with his great and merited popularity
should psreptoriiy dcotmndnce the only mode by otih
the whig party can avail itself Of has name
