There is strong disposition the part of the south to
sustain the Wmot povso, and the friends of Gen Cas-
quite ready support it, The Union now,
time, openly itself in favor of the
imgton correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger.
We presume, by slip of the pen, the words "Wilmot
Provso" were used in place of Missouri Compromise
But the Ledger correspondent is mistaken in saying that
the Union" has, for the first me openly avowed itself
in favor of that We have openly mend
ed that Compromise from the time the Wmot Proviso
was seriously discussed

ment of the republican party Wing he is, he always
attempts to prove HIS rather the wing presidential
ddate to be republican; and he is always confident Of
his election Gen. Taylor for example, though he declares
himself "a whg-not ultra whig,' yet Mr.. Rives
dubs him Immediately after, ga republican Of the old
schoo-of the school of Jefferson and Madison" He
does not stop with this outrageous declarations but he
goes on to assert his belief that it is as certain that
Gen Taylor will be elected President of the United States,
as that the will shine upon US tomorrow" But he
cannot be certain of Gen. T's election now, than
he was of Mr. Clays in A. The fact is, that now
attaches any consequence to Mr. opinions his pre-
dctions What melancholy instance of man once
distinguished, sacrificing all his brilliant prospects 10 his
passions

The "Boson Advertiser announces the establishment
of new daily paper at Worcester, under the name of
The True Whig The object of the paper to arrest
the detection from the wing ranks, which is caused by
the barnbuner convention. 1t says that can effort is
making break up the wing party, concentrate hee-
rogeneous elements upon third man, and thus, by
weakening the wings, leave them easy prey to Gen
Cass and the united hordes of locofocoism It is the
same game which lost the election of Henry Clay in
1884, &C.. 1t is idle to suppose that the democrats will
become party to this movement. Out of New York,
their ranks united. The constitutional party alone
are to be the sufferers by the division And we now
witness the melancholy spectacle of seeing some, who
haze been nth the chgsfor years. committing at If not
openly tOorking for, the transfer of cg support to Mar
tin Yam Buren,, ,rto, of all has been treacherou to
the interests Of the free States"
This confirms all the speculatons we have ventured
to give upon this new northern movement No party is
more interested in settling this agitang dispute than the
friends of Gen. Taylor. They will certainly be more
cut up in New England and in Ohio than the democrats
