there, they will sti run Old FAC on ms Wv"

the Republican may be OF the tricks o' ''s
"%veteran political gamblers, 1t has SHOWN nssi
TO be no bad hand at political oi"h- ine
game it would play is Of the strongest kino' !
IS nothing more nor less, than "Eeau' VIM

The Times tells the Republican very plainly
that the Wing patty will stand no such one s''su
barpaip- hat the late Wing Convention "@
uhieh the Editors of he Republican were memo ~
d.c,a red NTH not one dissenting roice, the wings
of Virginia pledge their cordial support 10 ANY
Whi, nom; nes Of that Convention The Times
odds ,ba, If the wishes Of the Wings Of virgil
GINA abe overruled by a majority oil 'he' wv
Their Wings, they have solemnly pledseu 'n'nA'
selves TO respect the will of that maJ'rls' ~
d,p.ndencv will receive no sort OF favor IN
Virginia.
The Republican will have to haul down the
"independent 0ag,'or come unoeF '"'
the great Wing army.
By The way, tina, paper quotes a s'nsu
BILE 10 show that Gen. Taylor will &c nominate"
by the Convention. II gives him kehtucKy anu
N. Carolina against Mr.. Clay which MAXI
his vote las. Just enough to nominate ~.
But will those States abandon MIR. clay eh''iei.'
Again, TO make out the number OF 49, 'he
Republican assumes that all Of the 10 delegates
from yir- mia will vote for Gen. Taylor. It's
known, however, that one will vote LOT WI
CLAY. The Republicans calculation therefore,
falls short of the object in view, and that paper
will have 10 .'open new books" and compile
another series OF Sgures, TO show evon The Piau-
sibiliry of Old Zac's receiving the nomination al
Phi ladelphia.

Il mrns on, that even The TayloTites in the late

The Republican, ii will be seen, stands up
still for General Taylor, under all circumstances;
and il ouoles old Zac's last letter 10 convince Inc

The Republican has reviewed severely Nj.

now relorl unon II as a "disorgarizer" IN mus
raising The flag Of reb, lIicn against the iunda'

The Taylor men seem TO be as much al sea as
ever.
The Democratic Stale Convention in Florida
has nominated Tor Governor General William
Bailey, and for Congress Governor William T.
Duval. A letter informs US that The Convention
passed of with great harmony and in me
spirits as to the success OF the admirable nomina-
lions. Mir. Cabeils vote for Mr.. Winthrop, The
Wilmol Proviso Abolnionisr, will defeat him, II
is said, before The people Of Florida. Our cor
respondent has no doubt Of Governor DuvalPs
success.
