"His exposition Of the true Wing plat.

Republican position Of Gen. Taylor, were
clear, cogent and unanswerable."
"Uuriel Wright, ESQ.,, then addressed the
meeting in an eloquent and soul.stirrine
strain, after which the meeting adjoursed.'

We would have been much grati6ed, in.

The Wings in this section seem to be in
the lamentable condition of those who were
once compelled 10 abandon a great but i'm.
'pious work, on account of the confusion oil

once had principles, but they have now
deserted them together with the Immortal
Clay and Others, who cherished them and
boosted their republican character, while
seeking the SURFACES of the people, for,
they knOw not what! Will the Republican,
in its kindness, inform its readers as to the
''true Wing PLATFORM" and thus ave them
the inconvenience. arising from a constant
clash Of sentiments on this important sub
ject?
Why talk Of "the Wing platform" when
a declaration Of their cardinal principles
was recently refused by that party when as
senbled in Convention? When a candid
ate was selected BY them for the highest
and most responsible Office in the gift Of
our country, who was pledged to no course
Of policy, and whose views, if any he has,
are still enveloped in Cimmerian darkness?
The Wing platform is now infinitely more
and absurd than it was in the days
If coon skin. folly and hard cider revelry,
Then there we're a few principles for the
