WING SENTIMEN T.
j ON THE WING NATIONAL NOMINATIONS

y ON THE WING NATIONAL NOMINATIONS.
We cannot, we believe, do better, at this moment,
than place before our readers such brief extracts
from known and respected Wing journals, in diff
ferent parts of the country, may enable them to
Judge Of the current of Wing Opinion as to what is
required of all true Wings in regard to the Nomi-
nations by the Philadelphia Convention, not merely
by considerations Of consistency and faith plighed
by the fact of going into Convention, but also by
the consideration Of the great public interests de-
pendant upon the issue of the pending National
Election. We have now heard from about one
half Of the Union, and, beside the New York "Iri-
bune,'' which hesitates but does not wholly refuse
to concur in the nominations, we have as yet seen
but one Wing journal which does not express
determination to sustain them, heart and hand.
To this determination we have no doubt that the
whole Wing press and party will eventually come.
FROM THE OLD COLONY (MAss.) REPUBLICAN.
UsIos Aaose THE Wmcs.-We have seen some symp-
toms lately Of attempts on the part of of the Northern
Wings to make division in the party unless such man
they propose should be nominated for the Presidency
Some say that "they will vote for but Northern
man; it is the turn of the North to furnish the President
and we will support unless from free State"
Let the Wings Of the North remember that when they are
nurng the Wing party they working against the pros
per Of the Unions let them remember that President is
chosen President of the whole country, and not specially
to and protect the interests of the particular section to
which he may happen belong let them remember that SO
long as good Wing the President, who will admin
lister The Government upon Wing principles matters not
whether he halls from Massachusetts, Texas Ohio Maine
Let the Wings the election Of some Whg-and they
do this if they viii but think they and work-and it
will make but little difference the prosperity Of the country
whether he be from north south of Mason and
or whether be be STAKEHOLDER Of the hottest kind Of
aboliionists
With such nominee and leader of our opponents
as Gen. Glass; the Wigs united need have fears for the
result Of the next election but they suffer division to creep
in among them and rend them their defeat is
The advice which the old when about to die gave to
his children should be adopted of the cardinal prnci
pies of the Wings When flying his deathbed the old

of them to bring bundle of aggots the faggots were
