WING NATIONAL CONNENIlON.
The time and place for holding the Wing
National Convention having been fixed by
the Wings Of Congress, it now remains
for all who desire to see change in the
men and measures so injuriousy dominant
at Washington, to unite cordially and ear
nestly, in all parts of the country, TO pro-
mote the great object for which the Con-
vention is designated. There are enough.
who desire such a change, to effect it
enough for success, if they act in unity, but
not enough to be divided.
Individual opinions and preferences.
however strongly entertained. can avail but
little so long as they are individual. When
men have TO act together, to accomplish q
result which all seek after, things which are
secondary, incidental or instrumental, must
be kept subordinate. This is one Of the
most obvious of the dictates of common
sense.
Those who have believed that it would
be inexpedient to call National Conven-
ton, supposng that the indications of the
popular choice were or would be SO marked
and decided as to need no exponent of that
kind may yet acquiesce fully in the call of
Convention, in the confidence that such a
body representing an intelligent constituent
cy throughout the Union, will faithfully
embody and declare the general preference
of those whom they represent in the mat
ter of selecting their candidate for the
Presidency.
1t is probable, too, that whatever doubts
may exist, as to the most suitable leader Of
the Wings in the approaching contest
doubts which it is the object of Conven-
ton to remove--the development of public
sentiment on that point may have sufficient
ly matured before the assembling of the
Convention relieve that body from all diff.
Guilty or hesitation in the premises. We
may all hope that this will be the case; yet
as a condition to such hope, nationally en-.
tertained, it is evident that the sentiments
of the people, not the individual wishes Of
this, that, or the other politician, of any
school, must be deferred to and mainly re.
garded.
In the meantime nothing could be moro
to the point than the advice of the National
Ineigencer, in reference 20 the practice of
certain Wing presses that most injudicious.
ly labor to exalt the particular candidate
they happen, respectively, 10 prefer, by
angry and harsh denunciation of others
preferred as candidates by their neighbors
of the same party. The Intelligencer sug.
gests to those ever-zealous gentlemen, that.
"if the eagerness and bitterness and ability
with which they are scanning the merits
and dement's of the several distinguished
Wings who have been named for the Pres
idency shall have their due and natural eff.
feet, the Wing National Convention may.
when it assemblies, be placed in the singu-
lar predicament of not finding one of these
eminent men politically surviving, for they
will all by that time have been killed off, as
candidates, by the disparaging recrimina-
tons of the presses of their own party"

Mn. CLAY-GEN. TAYLoR.-The fol-
lowing letter is from the editor of the
Pittsburg Gazette, now in Washington city.
We were apprised, several months ago of
the contents of the letter of General Tay.

but the information was communicated in
confidence. The letter was addressed to
one of the most distinguished Wings of
the country:
WAsHINGToN. Feb. 2, 1S4S.
Mr.. Clay is promised hearing in the Supreme
Court on Monday next. He will not remain
long in the city after this but will probably visit
Philadelphia where he has business, and perhaps
New York, before returning home. An invita>
ton is before him from the citizens of The District.
to partake Of public dinner, which he will no,
probably accept.
hear of another letter from Gen. TAYLOR. in
regard TO the Presidency. /, confirms of course
his Wing predictions, as such a man is not
capable of disgusting his sentiments upon anv
subject when deemng it proper to make thea,
public. lfelected he says he shall surround him.
self with Wing cabinet. but in regard 10 the
minor Offices he does not propose 10 exclude the
party opposed 10 him from a PARTICIPATION in
their benefits. or this letter and other portions

parts Of the country-pretending to cure all

our duty to inform our readers that he is, in eve
ry sense OF word. an imposter. He knows moth

just as apt 10 destroy as to heal it.

GA correspondent, of the New Orleans
