We publish Ia another column a second
communication il favor Of Mt. Gay, from
lie pen Of gentleman who has for years
done efficient service to the Wing cause
Our correspondent reasons without passion
aud his arguments are aedtely put. But,
we are inclined to think hey will not bear
a rigidstfutihy. The writer has no fsafs
Of The result either with Mr. CtAY or Gen.
TAYLOR as The Wig candidate. II we
could boast The same condolences, we wbttI5

Gen. TAYteH. II j upon this point that
we are compelled 70 ibin isstta sith d. II,
lie, like all good Wings, looks steadily
forward To lie success Of DIR principles.

receive vitality and practical power by
being sngraited upon the Cove Hihent md
enf8teed through It's administration These
are premises In which Our correspondent
and o~nrself concur We differ chiefly as
to The choice # The nan by whom we are
most likely TO achieve q triumph Of our
principles.
Our correspondent Bffiftns that the
Northern Wig States have, Without on
teption. declared their pre- fet entps for Mr..
CRAY. This IN af1 error. Vermont mid
Massachusetts are both in favor Of Mr..
WEBSTER. and wa have high and direct
authority for stating, thai The latter, at least,
will vote In Convention Tor Gen. TAYLOR,
as her second choice, Again, we are told
by eur corresponds Mt that Ohio will prBta=
bly, not vote for Gen. TAYIoH, and hat The
withdrawal Of Mr.. CtAY might occasion u
dissolution Of he Wing party In that State.
