"Under these circumstances, we think Mr., Clay,
friends in Convention, acting under his instruction
did wisely in Welding lis claims, and giving the no.
mnnton TO Gen TAYLOR We rejoice to see that hi:
nomination was secured through the votes OF the
friends of Mr.. Clay, aud We have no doubt that II
this, they reflected his sentiments.
In this States, the preference OF the Wings tor MIR
Clay and is strong and decided, yet we think we
do mistake their sentiments by the assurance that
they will acquesce cordially in the nomination made
and give old Rough and Ready the fall Wing vote
OF the State.
In regard to the nomination of Mr. FlILMoRr ol
Vice President there is but one feeling throughout the
Wing party OF the Union, and that Is of unaloyed
satisfaction No man, OF so short a public life has
secured stronger hold upon the confidence and re-
gard OF the Wing party"
From the Woodstock Mercury
The Philadelphia Convention was composed Of
men who are familiar with the wants of the country
who know its interests who acquainted with il
resources, who feel the importance OF encouraging ma
tive and national industry and vino entirely disc
tenance the project OF raising revenue from excessive
, linportatons, and running the country IN debt III
order to provide the means OF supporting the govern
ment. The principles OF the Wings, as party, are
well known and properly appreciated, and conyen-
ton OF the delegates and representatives OF wings
would not select for the high office of President of the
United States man of whose will or ability to carry
forward wing measures they have any doubt. All
snrnses or suggestions that there Is any ground for
doubling the wing faith OF Gen. Taylor are withou,
foundation, and auspiCous of good to the country
that he has not felt the francis OF party discipline, but
embraces and upholds wing principles for their sound
ness and rectitude and not because they adopted
by nm as a part OF party discipline.
From the Bratteboro Eagle.
In every possible point of view General Taylor is
to be preferred to General Cass by every man who
processes 10 be a wing.
lie is to be preferred because he a is Wig, and
will be guided in his administration by established
Wing principles. of this there is more doubt than
there would be that Henry CLAY 0;od bless him ,
would exempy wing principles were he President
who doubts that he will be he will make safe
President for the country In one respect he has u
decided advantage over any candidate that has been
named he has no po.Ical hangers on 10 reward, and
no political enemies 70 punish Though decided
Wing in principle, he is not thoroughly mbred
with parzan feeling s..d prejudice, and all iuen who
have been in active poli:iea lie necessarily are"
The 81. ALBANs Messenger, which, under the
first impulse of disappointment, declined to raise
the flag of TAYLOR and FILLMORE, comes to us
this week with its doubts cleared up, and with
the best of reasons for being "ready for the

The WING NOMINATION. TAYLOR is the nom
inee OF the Wing National Convention-a Conyen-
tlon composed OF delegates from every district in the
