We propose to furnish the Wing with some
information from "Norlhern papers" which have
reached our eye, and which confirm the impress
sion we gave forth some days since, that the
,reachery Of Van Buren, will do much more in
iury 10 the Wing than TO the Democratic cause
by abs,ractins more votes from Gen. Taylor Than
from Gen. Cass. We have long been satlshed
that the Northern Wing party were thoroughly

The OHIO Statesman says:

press that any number of Democrats OF Ohio
would support Mr.. Van Buren,, under such elf
cumslances, is not only ridiculous, bu, impossi-

The Cincinnati Enquirer, (Dem.. } doubted the

our regrets ,ciH be baai.hd, and no doubt il
will be the same with all who have felt as We
have on tho subject. If his views were so sec
