From the MemPhis Appeal
In a Fix.

The northern ection of the late whig party
are really in Il fix. Some of them oppose the
party ticket on the ground. that Gen. Fay ylor
is southern man, a large owner of Slaves; be-
cause his nomination. was forced upon the party,
without pledges, and in the teeth Of oft repeated
declarations. that he would not be the candidate
of a party, or the expounder of party principles.
All this was done, when we'll tried wings were
before the conventirn, who had given the most
ndisputable proof of their orthodoxy, by their
services, and expressions. This abandonment Of
principles in the whig convention in the nomina-
lion of General Taylor. has given rise to great
disqetude in the whg ranks in the free sta,es.-
The following paragraph from the Baltimore Sun
will show, what the Massachusetts wings are
about.

Boston Wing of Monday morning, signed by G..

ton; S. e.. Philips. OF Salem; Samuel Eoar, OF
Concord; Chas. Allen, of Worcester; Henry Will
son. of Natck; Erastus Hopkins. of Northamp-
ton; ID. w. Alvord, of Greenfield and others
The call asserts that the support of Gen. IayI
is required by no obligations of party fidelity,
and that acquiescence in It would be an abandon
ment of whlg principles, treacherous TO the cause
of freedom, and the utter prostranon of the inter
ests of free labor and tho rights of rreemcn.
Mr.. Wilson, of Na;ck, one of the delegates
from Massachusetts to the National Convention,
vino refused consent to the nomination of Cen
Taylor, has published an address to the wings of
tho Sth district, assigning the reasons why he
could not support the domination OF The conven-
lion and maintaining that he could not do 50
without sacrificing whg principles and bartoring
away, for mere possession OF office, the Oft repeat
cd pledges of Massachusetts, against the extension
of slavery. ..-... ST.. .....

with bursts of applause.
James II. Gilmore, CharGan Of the Commit
tee on Resolutions, then reported the following:
Whereas the Philadelphia Convention bv fore
ing upon the North candidate for the Presidep.
cy who is confessedly ignorant of the political af-
fairs of the country, and who has expressed de-
termination not to be guided by the principles of
any party, has virtually abandoned the principles
of the Wing party and in effect declared il dis
solved.
Therefore, Resolced. That it is the duty of the
wings throughout the country 10 take immediate
measures to reorganiza the party and select a
candidate for the Presidency worthy of their sup
port.

firmly opposed to the admission Of Slavery into
territory now free. #
Resolrsd. That we have full confidence in the
ability ard wisdom Of Horace Greey, Editor of
| The Tribune. and accord to him our sincere sym.
pathy in the noble stand he has taken with regard
to tho Philadelphia Convention, and trust that
no consideration Of party victory will induce him
! to recede. Forward then is the word-now is
the propitious time for true phiIanthroptst like
him to take the lead in the vanguard of Freedom
ReSo'red. That tender our warmest thanks
to Theo. $. Faxton, Esq. Delegate from this Dis

segeriug and prsi>ewQrlhy eXerions to secure
the nomination of our beloved leader, Henry
