Who II TO DO the Wing Champion

The effort of Gen Taylors friends to bluff off Mr. CLAY
or any other nominee, instead of sourng the whigs said
to have increased the of his friends, and to the
Taylor stock Since the appearance of the two letters his
advocates are wont to say. that the General is deter
mined TO rum whoever be the nominee of the wing con.
vention, the wings must take him up in the convention
and upon him. We leave it to Mr.. Clays friends
pocket their disappointment, if he be destined to be hm
aside, az he was in 1910. We leave it to the wings
themselves to submit to the dctaton of their champion
md the dsorganization of their party. We leave to
the people to determine whether they will put ndyd
ua at the head of the government who conesses he has
formed few principles in politcs-who is prepared
sacrifice the powers which the constitution confers on
the President to the behests OF Congressto register
their edcts instead of acting on his own conscience and
his own responsibility and far to strike the veto pow
r from the constitution as to waive all scupes upon the
bank of the United States upon the protective tariff &c.
&c.
The wings will go for Gen. Taylor if at ALL upon the
calculation of his availability. In this point, they may
ind themselves mistaken They will be disappointed
in Ohio Indiana, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, Lou
isiana and many other States in which they think him
stronger than Mr. Clay But the very calculation which
the wings making upon his superior strength will
have the effect of rousing up to double energy the
exertions of the republicans. They will be more
ictive against him than against Mr.. Clay, whom
they have beaten twice; and, therefore, they may
suppose him to be more easily defeated again. Al
all events, we have fear of the spirit and activity
