The Wing feeling.

The wings begin to discover that, contrary 20 then
calculation the Buffalo Convention is doing them more
iamage than service 1t is taking far more recruits
from them than from the democratic party. We warn
ed them of this effect time since. We advised
them, if not for their countrys sake, at least for their
interests to settle this sexed question once but
they despised predictions and persevered in their
course. Now, find the whg presses turning upon the
barnburners and upon Martin Van Buren, with the bitter,
est Indignation. We have before numerous specimens
of this hostile feeling the extracts from the whg press
but we have space at present spare for their publ-
cation.
AT all events, whether be owing to the invasions
Of the barnbunes their ranks or TO the unfortunate
etters of General Taylor and the evidences of his glazing
ncompeency for the CHEST office in the world, there
is manifest decay of enthusiasm The wings are in
bad spirits, and their presses begin abound with melan
choly jeremads. For instance, the last New York
Mirror thus them
'WHGs New YoRk III you don't want Lewis Cass
Tor President, you 20 work We tell
the truth and shame the DEVIL and the wings too if
CAM ard do not hesitate say that the whig party
this city deserve defeat for their apathy"
The New York Enquirer" OF Friday last thus holds
forth:
PLAIN TALK FOR LIVE WHOSE cooys' WE SUPPOSE
is MEANT I'VE have few words couu sell for the wings
IN regard 10 the great hand They may
not be welcome; they may be deemed mpoitie; but we
believe them to be true and they ought therefore heard
and needed Nothing is gained by shutting eyes
10 facts 1t may be more agreeable sleep in the belief
that all is weleven when the enemy is at the door bur
is not saie and he is false and eacherous sentinel
will not, or dare not, sound the alarm
We believe that. IN the eristing state of the public mind
Onhom Efforts on the pant of the higs get put forth Lew
Cass almost certain to be elected President in Noven-
Der next We compelled this belief most reluctantly
by what we see and know of the of public feeling
and the lack OF proper effort Doubt deny it, pis other
wise as we may the wing party especially in the North is
aPathetic, indifferent, naetire pa red with what il
the victory.
And so on for nearly column, alternately giving very
good advice and ashng the tagging until it winds up
in the following strain:
This may easily be done, il the wings will but take
hold and do It, II 1t done, and followed up by proper
tction, Taylor and Fillmore will be elected by an over
"heming majority Of the people Of the United States If
is not done, and done Lep Cass will be our chief
executive, and the government of country will be
plunged into chaos of adicalsm corruption the end
which no man is wise enough predict or even con-
lecture.
The Courier seems to forget there are two sides to
every story.
