and the success Of Wing principles shown TO be
the srea, object they have al heart. TIE subse-
quent resolutions, however, lake another "tack'"
and show an attempt 10 carry out the old game,
SO scalhingly denounced by Wiloushby Newton,
of"spteadins nets to catch birds ofevery feather"
They pay a high compliment 10 The moral, men,
tai and military qualities OF Gen. Taylor, Tor
whom they 'declaTe their preference over every
other person in The nation, as candidate for The
next Presidency" but they say mol one ,e0rd Of
his political opinions! Indeed, in the next rcso-
luton, they avow that Gen. Taylor will not be
the candidate of any party, and, thorough Wings
as they are, they appeal to men OF all parties 10
support The "no party" candidate. Hear them ::
a. Resolved, That as Gen. Taylor has p0s..:
ircly refused 10 indemnity himself exclusively icAh
any party and has declared that he will be guided
alone by the Constitution, an opportunity IS al
forded those who prefer the Constitution TO The
behcsls of party 10 leave for lime their old par
iy tbs, and rally around The standard oil the slo'
rious old Hero OF Buena Vista, in whom We nave
the promise OF a President, not of party but OF
the Nation
tempted to be praciised upon an intelligent peo-
plea Men ayowing themselves TO be Ways, and
Jealous friends Of Wing Conventions and party
organization, have The cool effrontery 10 ask their
opponents TO "leave their old party ties, and vote
for "no-parly" candidae3 The scenes OF ls4O
present nothing half so bafe-faced or ridiculous
as this iIl.dissuised bid, not for the support oil
"principles" but for the "loaves and hshes"of OIL
fec. The trick is too transparent-Ihe monsins
puss of Whiggery has no! sufficiently disguised
itself in the meal OF "no-paHy," 10 conceai lis
whiskers and claws. The Democratic parry are
not "sot enough" to be caught 10 such trap
Since the memorable "openins OF the seals, oy
Willoughby Newton, the Democrats OF Virginia
al least have had their eyes wide open 10 all the
maneuyres of the Wings, whether of The "Old
Guard" or The premature, no party, dipthong"
division.
The Wing Fredericksburg News has an ar'l-
Gle on This subject, which gives amusing evidence
of the chaos in the Wing ranks. II says tina!
public sentiment in that region is Opposed 10
submitting the nomination OF President 10
body composed of such materials as that must ne
cessarily be-" that it has become an established
principle with the Wing parry TO oppose the eau
ems system" which is "lhe hot-bed generally Of
intrigue and corruption" The evils of nation
al Convention are thus depicted by the News
We quote it, not only 10 show The bitter opposi
ton TO Convention, which majority OF Inc
Wing party regard as the only means oil secur'
inc Wing President also 10 exhibit Inc
mongrel character OF The Wing party, mace up
Of conflicting elements, "cdds and ends" as con
fessed by one off organs. From the ial!hiul PIC
;ure here drawn, the News and the Republican may
we'll be alarmed for line fate Of Taylorsm, shoulc
lis claims be submitted to National Convention
The News errs, however, in speaking OF the char
mony" in It's ranks, the preference OF Gen. lay
lor by "nine.ten!hs" of its party, &c. No ont
can watch the Developments al The North, espe

Of the Fredericksburg News. We dwell upol
this subject more particularly in orderIo give 10 gu

that, with proper energy and union amongst our
selves, Whisgery will meet another overthrow
in November:
ave have now harmony in our ranks; nine

and union, success is inevitable. Bu'a Conven
ton meets. composed OF every variety OF discor

abolition interest, and The war interest, and IN
peace interest," and thousand other interests al
seeking to further their conflicting and deslruc'iv
views. The northern Abo,itionist swears eierna
stiliy TO all slave. holders. He will support n
man for President, who is gully Of the sin e
holding his fellow man in serviluGe. The Peac
pady will 60 against The War, and The man VII
countenances it ny fighting in il, is unworthy
their support The War party thinks on the cor
trary III is just war, and should receive the SUI
port of every patriot. And hns 10: shall hat, "a
