THE WINGS OF NEW HAMpsHIRE.

The Wing members Of the New Hampshire Lee
gislature held meeting at Concord on the 22d
instant, at which DANIEL ABBOT, of Nashua, pre-
sided and suitable resolutions adopted, rafy-
ing the nominations Of TAYLOR and Fillmore. We
give one of them below:
Resolved That have entire confidence in the intcpri-
y purity, mness and patriotism Of General Z,cHARr Tar
LORI and that the traits Of character which have COM
mended him TO the enthusiastic admiration Of the country as
soldier are guarantees Of bis qualification for the exalted place
IN the councils Of the nation which to assigned to
MN BY the sufffages Of the people Of the Union"
The Iopr Enquirer says, in the Of article sp-
proving Of the proceedings Of this meeting
80 far learn, the nomination Of General Tar
although he not the first choice Of the great bvdy Of
me wings Of this State, regarded by them, all
country as the very best that could have been made all
'nngs considered the only in fact by which the country
could be relieved from the rule Of the and corrupt party
wn'cn placed the present unworthy incumbent Of the Pres
dency IN Office and striving to elevate to the same
place sii more unworthy successor"

RATIFICATION MEETING AT ALBANY.-As might
be expected from the two or three columns of sig
natures to the call, the meeting of Wings at the
capital in Albany, on Tuesday evening, was not
only very large and very enthusiastic but con-
siderably more So" The presiding officer was the
Hon. WILLIAM PARsELEE, the Hon. JOHN A. Coz
IrER was chairman Of the committee to prepare re-
solutions, and among the speakers x-Governor
JONES, Of Tennessee, and LESLIE CoxRs, of Ken
tucky. The resolutions and speeches were right
TO the point andju what they should be.
We take advantage of this occasion to throw out
remark which seems TO Us not inappropriate or
unworthy Of notice. In our judgment there is
nothing to regret, cause for apprehension, in the
present signs Of discomfort with the nomination of
candidates for the Wing party. As times go, the
greatest danger to be in the excess Of strength
belonging to that nomination /; it might induce too
general belief OF easy victory, which experience
has shown 70 be fatal error for the Wings. The
occasional opposition in their own ranks will stir
up the Wings to put forth all due effort, which
alone can be wanting to ensure success. II will
not do for even an Eclipse to think of walking over
the course. Perb. sGp.-N. Y. Com. .fdr.

MR.. VAN BUREN,.

The A1any .7fias contains the following state
ment, upon which, says the Neto Fork Post the
most implicit reliance may be placed
"The Utica Convention nominated Mr. Wax Bunrs as
candidate for the Presidency, contrary his known wishes
upon the principle that the people whom they eprese had
night TO make this use Of his and did direct the
usual notice Of their proceeding to be given him. No
communication the subject is therefore, be expected
from him. But we most happy be able to say, upon
the best authority, that however unexpected and undesirable
to himself the position assigned him by the action Of his
friends Mr. Van Buren, will not under the circumstances
in which they have been placed this principle with
them, nepose any further obstacles to the course they
have adopted"
The N. Y. Journal Of Commerce says: This
statement is confirmed by our own private advices
from we-informed SOURCE

THE MONUMENT TO WASHINGTON.

The coming Fourth of July ought to be proud
day for this city, and glorious day for the country.
Ii will commemorate, as ever, but with added SPLEEN
DOR the birth Of free and independent Nation, and
il will witness, ere its close, the commencement Of
great work in honor Of the ilustrious Hero whose
name the city bears.
The name Of WASHINGTON has ever been en-
shrned in the hearts Of Americans. We fear not
that il will perish, though il should be inscribed on
marble column or shaft of granite; for our fathers
have rehearsed his deeds to us, and we with our
earliest words learned to lisp the name of WASH
INGToN and to associate It with all that was great
and glorious in the idea of patriot and hero; and
our children will bear it down with undimmed lus-
ire to generations to come.
But the World requires that we should speak his
praise in no inaudibIe voice; that we should show
our Of his greatness by an appropriate token
visible to all eyes; that we should in the city honor
ed by bearing his name, rear Monument to his
memory, not SO much from sense of what is due
to him as y ourselves.
On the Fourth of July we are 10 retrieve our own
character and begin the good work. And, though
it be here that his name be recorded, shall
be the work of the Nation. The people have
brought their offerings from a(ar and laid them on
this altar which patriotic hands have reared; lei
them come from their mountain homes, from the
Atlantic coast, and from the broad prairies of the
West, and with pious zeal aid in laying the first
stone in this sacred edifce.
The services of the day will be imposing, and
will consist, in part, of an Address by the young
and accomplished Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatives--a son of Massachusetts, and descend
ant in direct line from one not the least distin-
guished Of the Pilgrim Fathers Of New England.
The voice of MASSACHUSETTS first proclaimed
WASHINGTON as the leader of the American armies |;
it is fitting that voice from the same ancient
monweath should now, in the audience of a new
generation pronounce his praise.
It's fitting that for the space of one brief day the
strife Of party should cease, and the echoes of po
litical conflict be suffered to die away. 1t is well
that CONGRESS has, by solemn resolution, deter
mined TO share with our citizens in the honor Of
this glorious undertaking. We trust that nothing
will be omitted which is suited to render the cere-
monies impressive and every way worthy of the
occasion.
