MORE OF TIE MEETING.

Hudson's resolution Ii will be seen that we cor
rec;ly gave the substance of Mr.. CabelPs resoiu'
,ion-lhat solemn jeu d'csprit, which came so near
leading 10 Spontaneous combustion"
No Wing can object 10 our hits OF Yesterday
for in Wednesdays Wing we find The following
invitation 10 make fun out of their actions;
CHOW, 1oc have principles; that is we of the
Wing parly;-but We allow our enemies 10 throw
in among us any sort ofappe of discordth they may
think proper, and SRA ehtway we fall toquarftii-
ing about it, to our own disgrace and diScomft-
ure as well as TO The jay and amusement Of our enc
mics. We have, at This moment, the game com.
plelcly in our own hands, il we viii only use H..
|! the Wings nil afford ''joy and amusement
10 The Democrats, they cannot blame US for CATCH
ing what tails into our lap. AS 10 the "Prlnc-
as showing what they arc, or, rather, wnal 'hey
are not. If The reader can detect any, ne has
sharper eyes han We can boast Of. We presume
that, as il was agreed in committee that no allu-
sion was to be made 10 1.-THE embodiment" or any
other candidate, it was thought best not to say
any Thing about "principIes."
"Sponlaneous combustion" seemed so entirely
10 strike panic into the minds OF The leaders OF
the mecli G, that they would not adopt The "prin-
ciples" which had tacilly been agreed upon by
the committee, Gas was stated by Mr.. Cabell, the
mover of The resolution fearing that the names
OF the srca test captain of the age and Gen. Tay-
Tor might cause Spontaneous combustion" by
leaving the inference 10 be drawn that The pros
poets of 'the embodiment" were rather shady.
We were led 10 suppose that even on the com
mitIee Gen. Scot was not without his PACKERS,
and We, from the notice OF "ihe meeting" in The
Wing OF yesterday, in an editorial OF about foot
and half long, 10 which a!lusion is made TO Mr.
CLAW halt dozen times, and 10 General Taylor
about Inc same number, not the sghestnolice is
taken OF Gen. Scott; so that he may be consider
ed as ont oil the race" after his friends had
agreed 10 "compromise" the laudalion which the
"principles" presented embodied, but which "Ihe
compromise" ruled of"-From the "show OF
hands" as the "same now stands" we feel conf
den, that the Wings will have their usual luck
"high Dragging" but bad beating
The Republican is still dumb as an oyster"
about The meeting The Wing speaks OF II as
harmonious and enthusiastic" Ii adds that II
"adlourned in perfect harmony OF feeling" 1t
has been well said that The wisesl thing done on
! that evening was the adjonrnment A few mo.
menls longer, and the Spontaneous combustion
would have ragged in all its fury. And even now,
We doubt not, that there is more pent up feeling
and dissension among The Wings, Than had liz
lie "sleam" been allowed Stree pass" on Tues
day. Commend US not to aseh harmony and
| enthusiasm"
The Times daes upon he gratifying exhi-
bition OF spirit of mutual concession" not only
as 10 The candidates. but as lu the IN: GespTit reso-
luton mentioning the ames OF Hhig Generals,
Scot, and Taylor, in contrast with Mr.. Bous'
Mexican Generaissimo, Santa Anna" which
was "cheertully ,c,ttdrann by The mover" The
Times adds:
"Il is proper 10 remark, that every one who
raised any objection 10 this resolution, stated that
it conia ined declaration which ne was ready IL
maze, but nasmuch as il had been agreed upon,
by general consent, That The action OF the meeting
should be confined To the resolutions oil The COM
mil.ee, it was thought inappropriate 10 press any
other subject"
Ru, MIR. MYERS Bolts resolution was pressed
and adopted Why, then, was not Mr.. Cabclls
resolution, which had been pronounced perfectly
satisfactory by The commilree also acted on2-
The Times is on! in its philosophy. The true
reason must be locked for in that new principle
of Whigscry, Spontaneous combustion" which
is about 10 "pague the inventors"
In an explanatory letter Of Mr.. Bolts in yes
terddy's Times, he says that it was not his pur.
pose, "in any manner, 10 reflect upon all, or any,
OF my (his) five Wing colleagues in Congress-
tor the positions they occupy on The subject Of The
neat Presidential eection" nor ito cast The least
shade Of doubt on their Whiggery." We give
the concluding passages Of his letter, which are
only important as showing that Mr.. Moseey, the
Taylor Editor of The Wing, is avowed as the
"creduIous" correspondent oilhal paper, 10 whom,
Mr.. Bots replied. Speaking Of his Wing col.
leagues, Mr.. B. writes:
