. Sketch of a portion of the last days
proceedings Of The Wing Convention.

As a specimen Of the quality of the Wing
Convention, and for the purpose of letting our
readers see how the few free spirits who &C.
cupied seats as delegates were treated when
they undertook to vlndicate their own indie
pendence, we give a sketch Of d portion of
the last days proceedings.
When Iachery Taylor was announced by
the chair 10 be the nominee of the Conven-
ton for the Presidency, and when the north
ern %doughfaces Were scrambling for the floor,
to Propitate the heir apparent by giving in
their prompt adhesion, stating, as most of
them did, how strongly they had opposed the
nomination of General Taylor, but how ready
tkey now were TO sacrifice ON the altar of their
country, their individual preferences,-pledg-
ing themselves at the same time, to do all In
their power 10 promote the election of the no.
minees-EX-Govenor Vance, after a speech
of like tenor with the rest, moved that the
nomination of Zachary Taylor and Willard
Fillmore, for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency of the United States, be unanimously
confirmed. On this motion, Mr.. Chas. Al

on behalf of the Wings of the free States, |
say that the Wing party of the United States
is here and henceforth dissolved" (Tremen-
dous Kisses and confusion.)
"We've struggled to preserve it as long as
we could do it with honor. BY the blessing
OF God the dissolution may result to the ad-
vantage of the country-it is time that we
should separate. We spurn the nominee of
The Convention, and | tell you that Massa-

nomination of Abbott Lawrence for Vice
President.") (Cheers and Kisses and great
excitement among the southern men, several

by their friends. Let the North answer him,
was the cry. Let Massachusetts answer him.

sides, particularly from northern members.)
Mr.. Choat however made no reply. (Per-
