The Cast Of Characters.

The two leading wing papers in New York are taking
very different views of the wing policy. and casting the
dramat persona Of the approaching drama upon very
different principles The ticket which the New York
Courier recommends is Taylor and Webster The
New York Tribune goes, it is said, for Clay and Seward
The Editor of the Tribune, who has been lately in this
city, since the advent of Mr.. Clay writes:
eff the preponderatng sentiment of the wing members
OF Congress afford any fair indication of the views and feel
ings of the wings generally, then Gen Taylor and
will not be the wing candidate for President, without a
very material change in the attitude he maintains before
the country The careful inquiries of to-day have salts
fled me that sefespec has not yet deserted do
say Gen. Taylor may not be the wing candidate, though
trust he not be but do say with confidence, that he
will not be- without luvoca avowals his part that
he is one OF us-that he accepts whig wing,
and will preside whig; and without public
that he will favor, but oppose the extension of slavery
under the laws and flag of Union. That he will give
such assurances do not affirm but that the wing party
will support him without have entire confidence.
The Observation-Disclosures principle will go down
with party which has such leader as Henry Clay, who
today the strongest in the countrywide may
be elected President il he will run, and those
who think he ought be the wLbu unitcdly resolve
that he shall be- rejoice find evidence here that
who have thought he must be abandoned for more
available man, consider him the available
well worthy, and urging his denomination. 1t
be easier induce Legislatures and ha phazad
ventons him aside, than the people that
disposition"
"The Frederick Examiner" of Maryland, touches a
similar key, when it represents the following "7he
true ground"
We see in various parts of the country OF
the wings in favor Of national convention. The DISPOSE
ton OF the wing party is perfectly apparent; and they
that without thorough party organization. the
opposition is inevitable.
'lt the party succeed upon their principles then
we say let them be defeated The time, think, has
ha lna an,is. lar;
and msnanagement of the administration, and when they
viii, by tremendous majority overthrow upon princi-
pie. The only do So by ction
brought about by harmonousy assembling in convention
where the man will be thrown aside and where principles
will PREVAIL regardless of personal avoes personal ag
srandzement. Let this be done let them rally upon wing
principles in opposition locoiocoism, Mexican warism,
Pokism Dead Sea-ism, and all such and the wing party
Will gam victory basis that cannot be shakenat

principles and not the claims of mea."
