When a candidate has received the endorse

all parts Of the country. and Ivy whose selection
we have pledged ourselves to abide, We must, in
seriously pressing such question, either pre-.
sumo our friends in Convention to have been
guilty of trcachery to their, and TO our common
principles, or else, TO have been sadly duped
and, therefore, to be dolts. To the unhappy
Wings then, who hang their impressions upon
either horn Of this dilemma, We ask brief at

since the nomination. has been deriving great

that the course of the Courier would be factious

case. The Courier has uttered no word against
the nominee of the Wing Party, in whose ranks
it has long done yeomans service, and is about
