sachusetts, that we cannot refrain from
quoting what the Boston Atlas says about
those precipitate gentlemen. We rather
guess the Old Bay State has MT caved in
yet! The atlas says -
1.-The assertion made in the National Whir

Wing party meets with little response from
the Wings Of Massachusetts; and he will find
out, between this and November, that the Whip
party has yet an existence, and that too in Old
Massachusetts Mr.. Wilson. another delegate
from this State, took substantially the same
view OF the question, and he added, that " 80
help him God, he would 20 home and do what
he could to defeat the nomination. The Wing
party, however, is not to be dissolved so easily,
nor is it in the power of Mr.. Wilson or sny
other man to defeat the nomination. He will
find plenty of Wings in the old Bay State, young
men, like himself, who stand ready 10 meet him
on the stump, and discuss the question before the
peopte, Wienerer he or his colleague or those uho
go ruth them, are ready for The discussion. We
say this rot in the spirit of idle bravado, but in
sober earnestness. The people of Massachu.
sets are a rejecting and sensible people, who
will listen TO reason and argument, and il a
case cannot be made out for the Philadelphia
nominations, then We are willing that they DO
defeated.
Bot a case. and a strong one, 700, can be
made out. We know the friends OF the Phila.
delphla nominations shrink from no response
blhty, and they do not mean that the vote Of
Massachusetts shall be found wanting in maxi
ing up the majority for General Taylor. That
he Will be elected, no one doubts, and Massa.
chusctts will help do it.
For the second .imc stree General Jackson
came into power, the Wings and other friends
OF good government have it in their power to
trinmphantly succeed. The people, the great
masses of the country, will aid them in it. We
shall have a Wing President, a Wing Vice
President, and a Wing House of Representa-.
tives. We shall, before the end of four years,
have a majority in the Senate and thus will
the whole power Of the nation be wrested from
the bad men who have so long held it, and the
nation be brought back tc the pure days of its
origin. The Wings of Massachusetts, like
their brethren in other States, fee and know
this; and the result will prove that the same
Influences which gave the electoral vote of Mas
sachnsetts to General Harrison and John Tyler
will give il to Zachary Taylor and Willard Fill
more. They are both honest men-they are
both Wings, and the people, who desire neither
o'ilce nor spoils, sympathize with the nomina.
tions, and they will be elected.
From what we learn, an attempt, long since
begun, but kept qniet, is now in progress Of full.
hlment, to get Wing voters to sign papers, pledg-
ing them not 10 sustain the nominations
scheme undoubtedly designed to entrap voters.
we hope the Wings will he on their guard, and
not suffer themselves hastily to put their names
on those papers. Take time to reflect and in.
vestlgate the subject, weigh well the benefits to
be gained and the losses that will accrue by
the election or defeat Of Gen Taylor or Levi,
Cass. Let it be borne in mind, that the leading
men engaged in this work, including 10th Judge
Allen and Mr.. Wilson, we've us active at the
Springfield Convention, last fall, to defeat the
nomination of DANIEL WEBSTER, as they are
now to defeat the nomination of Taylor and
Fillmore. May they meet with a like success.
