The NEW MOVEMENT IN NEW YORK
There was meeting in the city Of New York.
on Frilar. which invoked the name of Mr..
CLAY, not with an expectation of benefitlng
that eminent statesman, but for the purpose
md with the design of distrarting The Wing
party, and defeating its candidates for Prcsl-
dent and Vice President But, though such
vas the object of the movement, such will not
II. It's effect Of the tens ofthousands Of Wings
in onr State whose hears are with Mr. CLAY,
,tere are few, indeed, who can be drawn a.
way from their duty by the specious but I'M
worthy PROCLAMATION of his name.
Willis HALL, who presided over the gath
erinr, together with those who got it up, are
committed in favor Of Mr. VAN BUKEN. Their
Object, therefore, is transparent. How far
hat object is consistent with their protested
regard Tor Mr.. CLAY, whose name is used to
promote the interests of Mr.. VAN buren,,
we Will leave Mr.. CLAY himself to determine.
This movement, though keeping the word
orpromsc to the ear of Mr.. FILLMORE, is a
ike hostile to him and to Gen. TAYLOR. The
association of his name with that Of Mr.. CLAY,
to run on an Independent electoral ticket for
;hc benefit of Mr. Van BUREN, was n piece Of
gratuitous treachcrv.
We infer from this side movement. that the
direct efforts of Aicssrs HALL, WHITE, Sell
Den, DAVIS, sc. to beguilc Wings into the
support of Mr.. VAN BURLN have not been
fnccessful and hence the attempt TO divide 4
marty whose integrity and faith was tempted
in vain. But the effort TO disoreanize Wings
will prove equally abortive. The spirit Of re-
venge, when the country is TO be its victim,
will find little sympathy in Wing bosoms.-
