which the Wing has recklessy cast upon him.
SOBER SECOND THOUGHTS.
We have been more amused than surprised at
the reports which have been made by various
CLAW delegates 10 The iate WING Convention, upon
their return 10 The people who sent them 10 t hila-
delphia. Many OF them have been called on 10
give an account of their stewardship, and whilst
some have untured the banner OF old FAC, as
presented by the Convention, others have mace
bold 10 slough of the nomination and avoW iheif
ever enduring iealty to Harry OF the West
When the nomination Of Gen. I. was frs; made
and announced amid the shouts OF hundreds in
Convention, in gallery and in street, some OF The
CLAW men caught the fame and gave in their ad-
hesior; Others declared they would lake time 10
consider and would consult with their conslilu-
EMS. Among these was MIR. Galloway OF Ohio,
whose speech, we learn, was delivered with pow
erfu effec, and produced a marked sensation =
We gave Sketch Of his remarks in our paper OF
Wednesday, from which our readers may Judge of
the accuracy of The Times in throwing suspicion
upon his sanity. To our view, he appeared no
more insane than Horace Greeley himself Gree
ley's paper circuaes more extensively than any
Wing paper in New York, and it has not yet
come 10 determination. But, Heavens what
have VIZ come 10 To hesitate about Gen. Tay-
lor's Whiggery, availability, invincibiiiy &c is
10 incur the suspicion OF non c0mpos men.,y!
Mr.. John w. Fowler Of New York. who is
represented on all hands as an eloquent speaker
seems TO have taken a conspicuous part in the
proceedings of the Convention. Upon every
motion, resolution and ballot bearing on the re
suit, he cast his influence for MIR. Clay. Yet he
appears to have given in when Taylor was noEi.
mated. And more; at the great operate per
Torrance in Independence Square on the same
evening, Mr.. Fowler, attired in his usual unique
dress, delivered two speeches TO the ratification
Taylor men. He moreover presided at enc ol
the stands. All this, however, was in the pre-.
sence of the artul Taylor managers, 10 hearing
of the loud huzza, and in the glare Of Drum
mond lights and pyro.echnics. 1--WE presume
that brilliant spectacle, viii form an important
element in the eectoneering of The Wings tins
canvass. We would suggest that an agent be
despatched TO Paris for the latest improvement.
