More WING Resuonses.

Resotred, That the whig party of this county has
ever been party Of MISUNDERSTANDING to principle
for the sake of principle, and TO because of their
principles
Kesolred, That we have heard Of the nomination
of Gen. Zachary Taylor az a candidate for the Pres-
dency of the United States, by the Wing National
Convention with profound asonishnent, and we here
to-day proclaim again our fixed will and purpose not
to support the nominee Of that convention unless he
shall place before the country his assent to the Ma
tional Wing Platform of 1874. aud his further pledge
of opposition TO the extension of slavery over soil
now free.
The Ashtabula Sentinel, whig- paper, also con-
rans the following paragraphs;
The SENTIMENT OF OUR CoUNTY-We have taken
some pains 10 ascertain the views of our whigs in
relation to the nomination of Gen. Taylor. In some
eight of the strong whg townships in the south part
of the county, there but three Taylor men.
greater unanimty of the feeling Of determined oppo
sitiun to candidate never known. than is felt
the success of Gen. Taylor. In the remaining town.
shipsa corporars guard cannot be mustered in his
support. We know that some politicians predict that
tlTs sentiment will change, and that wings will
be whipped into servie submission TO this last edict
of the slave power. But them that they
hive entirely mistaken the spirit of our people.
GENERAL TAYLoR.-The nomination of this gen.
tleman for the presidency by the Philadelphia Ma
tlonal Convention, we regard as total disarmament
Of the whig party. IL matters not in what way il
sequence resulting from II will be the same. Nine
tenhs of the wings of this county, and of this
ton of the State, will repudiae the nomination with
loathing and disgust. They in il the last crown
ing attempt of the slave power to fasen upon the
freemen Of the north policy which in the end is to
make themselves slaves. II is final experiment upon
their endurance which party lenders have had fair
warning it would be in vain To attempt to impose.
In making this nomination, the long cherished prin-
cpes Of the party have been discarded. The candi-
date selected for support does not represent
sentiments upon any of the great questions at issue
between the political parties.
The Meigs County (OhiO) Times, an able wing pa.
per, says:
"We have no hesitation in saying that IN PRO-
BABLE CIRCUMSTANCES CAN TAYLOR RECEIVE THE SUP
PORT OF THE WINGS OF ONO; we mean, any thing
like the strength of the party. There is class Of
wings who Will snap the bands of the party in twain
and sci the decision Of the National Convention at
defiance"
The editor of the Hamilton (Builer county, Inelli-
gencer leading whig paper, thus replies brother
whg editor, who recommended perusnl of General
Taylos letters, in order TO reconcile him TO the sup
port of Gen. Taylor:
"The Toledo Blade recommends TO read Taylor's
letters that may become reconced TO the nomination.
Our friend Hosmer is informed that we hare read Tay
lors lelers-a of them, beginning at the in which
he recommends the employment OF blood hounds hunt
the wretched Indians from the soamPs, where they had
taken refuge from the joint prosecution OF slavery
ing administration and kidnapPers-to the which he
wrote to the noparty meeting in Baltimore dated May
1e46 approving of their nomination Of him party
! We have read them alive know all about him !;
and cannot draw ignorance for bliss II our
hsghbors prefer him to Cas-, have nought TO say,
since prefer neither"
