Messrs. Wagner, Horace Greeley John w.
Fowler of o'sego, and Dudley seden of New
York City, addressed The meeting. MIR. Wag.
ner said
"In Henry Clay were embodied all The great
principles OF Whiggery, (appla use) but in Gene
raj Taylor they had man, like The Irishmans
nea, when You put your finger on him he is not
tnere: when General Taylor is asked what are
nls views on The leading principles as advocated
ny Tue wing party, he says he does mol know;
ana nc always found such men in the end to be
Locolocos."
Horace Greeley maintained that "lhe Wing
party had, in the lale convention sacrificed prin.
cIples on the altar of availability; and he was
waiting to seesome movement in the North be-
lore he could decide what course TO pursue"
Mr.. Fowler OF otseso, Ia delegate 10 The late
Wing Convention in the course of his speech
said
HE was member of the convention which
nominated General Taylor; but he did not vote
for mat nomination, and would not vote for the
nominee. The domination was effected by brow
beating and wirepulling politicians. He wished
an organization TO be e1eced 10 this city, as soon
as possible, that it might have time TO affect the
other sections Of this State and ofthe whole coun-
try"
Dudley Selden spoke at length upon the policy
OF the great Wing party:
Tile was favorable to the nomination of Mr.
Clay, was opposed 10 the nomination made at
Philadelphia, and would mol sustain il. TIRE
mendous cheering.] That Convention had, by
Southern influence, again beat down the North
and ne Tor one would 60 in for an organization
Of all the Wings, and nominate third parly.-
A large portion of the Democracy were opposed
TO the nomination Of Cass, and would moi sup
port him. A large portion, indeed, nearly all The
Wing party, were opposed TO The nomination OF
Taylor and would not support him. Under such
circumstances 1t was necessary, as soon as pos
sible, to call mass meeting for the purpose OF
nominating candidate for the Presidency and
Vice Presidency. Let The TWO dissatisfied par
ties come together and make those nominations
he admired the hrmness and maniness Of those
ofthe New York delegates 10 that convention who
supported Mr.. Clay, the great father of the Wing
party, during the whole voting.
Mr. Selden concluded by offering resolution
rendering the Clay delegates The thanks Of the
meeting. The meeting determined to make known
in few days, where and al wha, time The mass
Qndignation) meeting would be held.
The Wings, adds the Herald, will have their
ratification meeting Wednesday, in the Park. 1t
promises 10 be stormy affair, in consequence OF
the disappointment Of portion of that party in
Mr.. Clay not being nominated by the Wing Ma.
tional Convention.
AtAlbany and throughout the State generally,
as far as heard from, the signs are equally signif-
cant Of Wing harmony engendered by the nomi.
nation Of Taylor! We incline now to the opin.
ion that there will be found as many Wing as
Democratic "Barnburners" in the Empire Stale.
Let the Wings set their owR household 10 rights,
before they talk any more OF our temporary dis.
sensions.
In PENNSYLVANIA, too the nomination OF &C.
neral Taylor meets with, in all parts of the
State, a cold and unweIcome reception. The
Piusburg Gazette (Alleghany county-the strong
hold of Whisgery 10 Pennsylvania says:
"When we say we regret the result, Qhe nomina-
,ion) we shadow forth The feelings Of nine
lenths OF the Wing voters of this county,
sour regret springs not from The nomination OF
the man, but from his positions and we protest
against the grounds upon which he has been
forced upon the party,"
