EVIDENCES OF wHIG HARMoNYs

nation of Taylor and Fillmore has been 1ecel'eu
with ioy and enthusiasm. We might NIL column al-
ter column of our paper, all going to prove drecty
to the contrary. In Ohio, Massachusetts, Conneen-
cut New York. and indeed in all the free States, the
opposition to Gen. Taylor among the Wings Is bitter
and apparently rreconcable. Look at the late Whlg
Convention in Ohio and Massachusetts. and tell US
what they meant Look at the struggles IN New
York CITY, between thousands Of Clay Wings led
on by Greeley and Dudley Selden, and thousands
who are marshalled under the bannersof the Express
and the Enquirer and then say if all is harmony ana
good feeling in the Federal ranks. Look forward II
you please; to the grand Convention OF wings 1n0n
the free Sates which is to be held at Buffalo on the
9th of August, and anticipate, If you can any tnlng
like cordial support of Zachary Taylor north OF
Mason's and Dixon's line. Mr.. Clay has not yet
spoken, and Daniel Webster is silent! Even here'
in the South, where the nomination OF Gen. Taylor
and the rejection of Mr.. Clay by the Wing Conven-
ton, was to have been hailed sign of salvation
and of: undoubted triumph to the Wing party-eVen
here prominent leaders have expressed disappoint-
ment', and 4" "grief" at the result and one of them
regretted that he had not more slime to weep =!
Among the rank and file of the Wings instead of
enthusiasm and confidence you find indifference and
apathy and how, indeed, could it have been other
wise? The Wings of North Carolina knoto that
Gen. Taylor is nothing more than a military chief
tain that he has had experience in civil affairs
that far from being statesman, familiar with the
political history of his country, he has never even
exercised according to his admission, the priv
ilege of voting; that he has contradicted himself
over and again, in various letters written by
him in relation to the Presidency; that tried
men-and among them Henry Clay, the pillar of the
party-have been thrust aside, to make room for
political recruit of yesterday ;-and knowing and
feeling all this it is wonder that the leaders ex-
press modification and disappointment, while the
masses of the party evnce indifference and careless
ness about results. Call you this harmony, Mr.. Re-
gister!
For the benefit of our Wing friends, who are in
the habit of reading side, and who cannot there
ore expect to get peep at all the facts, we present
to them the following "pearls at random strung"
The Richmond Enquirer says: e.. -"
The Cincinnati Signal states that great disaffec-
ton exists in the Wing camp in Indiana. The
district met last week Resolutions, ratifying the
nomination of General Taylor, were warmly opposed
by James H. Craven, ex-member of Congress, and
were rejected by vote of two to one. Mr.. Craven
then offered resolution, repudiatng the nomination
of Gen. Taylor, which was carried by large ma
jorty.
The same paper specifies screnteen Wing papers
in its own State (oho) which directly or Indirectly,
rejected the nomination of General Taylor.''
:" 1t would be hypocrisy in us not frankly to ad-
nit that in placing the name of Gen. Taylor in that
position, [at the head of its columns,1 we perform
the most mortifying and unwelcome duty of ed-
toral life.' .4uburn Daily 4drertiser.
General Zachary Taylor i. the man! The ex-
citement is intense and will not here attempt to
describe the deep feeling this announcement has Gre
"The news Of the nomination will be far from
gratifying to great majority of the Wings of Massa
chusetts.'' Boston Daily J4drertiser.
"The announcement [of Gen. TaylOr's nOmina-

ton reasoned themselves into the propriety of max
ing the nomination they have buit seems to US that
the Whig party of the North has been most grossly
compromised
"We sincerely trust, that in the eagerness of the
Wings to nominate, the most available man, one
who in life of over sixty years, has not yet form

General Taylor is by far the weakest of all those
who have been named as Whig candidates for the
Presidency Portland (lNe.) .2dUertiser.
"Perhaps, when shall have had time to exam
inc and reflect, may pretty generally conclude not
that the nomination of Gen. Taylor was just
that he is nominated and the thing be helped
is the best course left to us. Perhaps so-dnd per-
Aaps not At all events, let the people have time for
cool, mature reflection" ". Y. Tribune.
This is not the Jfticth part of what might pre-
sent, if we had room but we cannot pass over the
late Taylor Ratification Meeting in Albany, New
York. The Albany Argus, after noticing the organ
ization of the Meeting, says.
"Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, then came forward to
speak. So long he confined himself to the stereo-
typed federal abuse of the democratic party and its
great leaders, the wings heard him quietly enough.
Soon he spoke of "whig principles" as involved
in the present contest, and then-such scene

found he the wrong track, and put his helm
in another direction. He went on to make what is |
rarely heard in this latitude, anti-war Mexican
sympathizing speech. He denounced the war as
unconstitutional, wicked, unjust and dsgraceful-al
in the true Corwin vein. He then went on to de-
nounce the idea of indemnity in the shape of terrific
ry-as one of the most vile disgracenl and mser-
able acts which shocked the pages of hstory! Then
he portrayed the dangers which were to result to
