The apparent division in the Wing
party in regard to their next candidate
for the Presidency, is subject Of gratu-
latioa and comfort to the locoiocoS, who
hope from these differences to reap adj
vantages which may again throw the
government into their hands. That the
separate claims Of Clay and Taylor are
urged strcnuously By different sections OF
our party is beyond a doujt-that each
Of them have lndlscrcct advocates, is
equally true, but that the main object
the party has in view in the next canvass
will be lost sight Of in personal prefer
ences, is not possible. There is dispo-
sition in the Wing party, and abroad a.
mong the people to hurl this admins
traton from power, and whether the
candidate who opposes it be Clay or Tay-
lor, we are confident he will be success
full.
That portion of the Wing party prop
err who advocate the nomination of lay
lor, do not do so because they Glove C'ay
less, but that they love their country moro"
They have seen Mr.. Clay defeated when
the chances were promising and hope
was high, and they fear the result with
him again. They believe Taylor to be a
"Hcnry Clay Whig," and think him
stronger with the popuIacc. They have
no doubt OF his success, and therefore
they advocate him. In doing so they
do not compromise their Wing primer
pies as the locotocos allegc-but oh Dose
rather las they think to have leader
sure ofsuccess, than one they personally
prefer, but under whom they would 90
with some doubt INTO the contest.
The friends Of MIR. Clay on the other
hand, believe him to be more identified
with Wing principles than any other
man they believe the whig party and
the country are under great obligations
to him, and that the intelligence OF the
people has been sufficiently aroused as
TO the errors OF locolocoisn, to carry
him successfully through the campaign.
These views, taken in connection with
their love for the man, induce them to
adhere to him with tcnacity.
The Wing National Convention will
nominate a candidatc-he will be one OF
the great men whose names stand at the
head of this article, and the other will
not oppose him. Tayior will not be an
independent candidate. SO that which,
ever is the man we have no fear Of the
result. The cause of each is common
cause. The friends Of each are engaged
in common crusade against the ''poW-
ers that be''--the weak and wicked loco
toco administration, and they will enter
the contest with a surety Of success.
The divisions in the locofoco party,
in regard to their Presidential candidate,
are more numerous and more serious than
any in the Wing party-lilely, indeed,
to damage them more, than ours to dam
age us. So that taking general view Of
the prospects OF the two parties, the
wings have the vantage ground-have
reason to be proud Of their position, and
reason especially to be proud OF their
cause.
gJ~We referred last week to speech
made by MI Evans. We have not been
