The Grst salient point presented by this bulletin
is Us cool contempt for the opinions OF the Wings
themselves, as expressed through their Conven-
tons aud Journals. MARYLAND and NEw-JRRsEi
voted for Mr. Clay in 1914 and each has Just chosen
a majority oil Clay Delegates to Philadelphia by
the vote of q full State Convention and their
Wal.street monitor will rather surprise them by
bis information that they cant give their Electoral
yotes Tor the man OF deir choice but can give them
IN the man Of his choice. INDIANA, too has chosen
moe Clay Than Taylor Delegates, not having heard
the news by Courier that they wouldb be successful
under Taylors lead but utterly mined with Clay.
Then the e is NAME, with one Wing Congress
MAJ, ont of nine in both Houses and LocoFoco
plnrality Of several thousands in her popular vote
She has chosen FIVE antiTaylor TO four Taylor Del
ecates linost of the last by bare maiortles) and
she is now told off hand that she can throw her
vote for Taylor, and for no other Wing PENNsYL-
vASf. has chosen more Claythan Taylor Delegates,
but the Courier had not then told her for whom
she can vote Aud evea NEwHAMrsHiRE, tht
State in which Cass was born, with not one voice
raised for TAYLOR within its limits, Loco-Foco over
everything opposing by thousands and the most
certain TO 20 for Cass OF any State in the Union, rs
oooly turned over to Cen Taylor without expiana-
ton or ceremony OHIO, her Delegates and
whs Journals say eaNaot vote tor Taylor but no
matter she IS good for him in the columns Of the
Courier. Who can fail to make ont case II so
unscrapuous as this ]
Tho Courier's estimate evinces ignorance IN every
way Mississippi, Michigan, Alabama and Texas
are more likely to vote Tor Taylor, ii nominated
than New-Hampshire and Wisconsin. To set
down New Hampshire for linn and Mississippi
against him is to figure utterly at random, and to
advertise the intelligent that tho estimate is I'M
worthy the least confidence or consideration.
Now we do not say that Gen. Taylor viii not
be elected If nominated; but we arc very conh.
dent that Mr.. CLAY can be- aud that the oonces-
sion OF New. York to the Wing side virtually con-
cedes us the triumph. Pennsylvania, disapToin'
ed in her aspirations for her own candidate, injured
BY the Tariff Of &C, having thousands OF voters
who strongly sympathiEe with the 'Barnburncrs
OF our State, is this day debatablc ground and
there are thousands among her Adopted Citizen:
who did their worst against Henry Clay IN isii
who are now ardently for him, and anxious Tor an
onporfunitv 10 atone for their former error We
cav ia Pennsylvania, because in that State ,heii
votes sre more papably needed; but the same
spirit is rife ia this and other States, and Is morally
certain 10 Prove eifcacious. Give this spirl' bur
fair play--do NO, palsy but trust it--and It vii
work results not dreamed OF on Change or II
wall-sfreet Offices. While the Wings, a body,
can unite more heartily upon and willingly work
harder Tor Henry Clay than Tor any other man, we
believe there arc far more OF bis former adverse
ries ready and eager TO vote for him than superb
oial observers have any idea Of. There are whole
companies and neighborhoods whose former bitter
ness OF hostility to Mr. Clay has been sostened by
observation and experience into esteem aud ad-
rn;satioa, aud these win deeply regret any act o.
TIE phaadelpMs Convention which shall deprive
them Of al opportunity Of evineing this chanse
Of sentiment by uamistakable deeds. Members
OK the Convention think wen OF ii before you de
eide 70 cast aside the strong hold which Henry
GAYS character and services have upon the aztec
