we're AFRAID to Ayow a single principle As Mr.. Cobb
ald at fammany Hall, in New York. "they have nomi
mated Gen Taylor because he had no principles or if he
had, ne dared not avow them; consequently, he
heir man."
Mr. Fuller OF New York offered the following resoIu-
hon to the convention:
RssoVsa That the first duty the representatives
he wing party Ia the United States preserve the prn
ples and Integrity OF that party, the claims Of c.na
late can be considered BY this convention unless such
ldate stands pledged support in good faith IFS nom
lee and TO be the exponent Of wing principles.
VIII Il be believed that this resolution was ruled
out, because the Chair said II ''out OF order" On
the very eve Of The adjournment too. Mr billiard of Ala
'ama moved resolution approving OF tbs Allison let
ter; and Mr. Hiltard was Induced to withdraw even
his, because II was alleged the meeting thin Such
hen Is the principle party that have
hat l., party which is afraid ayow principles now
out elect their candidate and shall soon see how
ahiuy they adhere they did in ls4 to all their old
measures.
They adjourned in Philadelphia in confusion and dis
content A resolution declaring the convention would
unanimously support the nominations actually op-
posed and lad upon the table Mr. Campbell, OF Ohio,
charged the Taylor men with sowing the wind, and
declared they would reap the whrlwind in November.
de could for the ratification now-his consti-
uents cannot approve in the dark General Taylor must
first come out Galloway OF Ohio, and Wilson of Mas
sachusetts, disclamed the nomination altogether
An immense ratification meeting was held by the wings
Independence Square after the adjournment of the
convention, and they addressed by several speak
ers-among the rest Mr. Leslie Coombs the partic ular
triend.of Mr. Clay but others, his particular friends
ylor IN he and
charge it to fraud, trick &c, sc.
Some OF the whiy presses receive 1t codly The New
York Tribune has yet made up mind to support
Taylor The National Inelligencer with little nGiuetS
speaks of ''the gentleman who has been put IN nomna
on for the presidency faroraby enough known
by common report, &c, &C. thus damning the General
with faint praise
Sui. let not deceive friends The wings are
very adro IN drilling their men, and drumming the re-
crts into the ranks No pains exertons will be spared
for that purpose We have severe and protracted
struggle We therefore be thoroughly organized
and armed Every gun be in its place-every sol
der his post We will triumphantly succeed if all
do our duty; but then must do our duty.
Since writing the above, we have gathered some facts
and speculaons, which II is proper for to state We
understand that the nomination OF General Taylor has
produced great iutterlng IN the wing ranks Opposition
IS threatened in Massachusetts, and circular notice
already issued for independent organzaton There is
proposition also among the delegates OF several States
to hold convention at Buffalo for the formation of
another ticket There is strong excitement and violent
heart burning especially among Of the wings of
kentucky We hear OF intrgues that had been formed
and even OF frauds which said to have been
nrar tlsadt In feat Mr. tainu tho
remains to be explained how but out of the
- of ksntucky be given her iavorite
We have heard OF dissensions running to such
lengths could not have anticipated. We have
heard OF delegates having denounced the nomination in
terms which would forbid their support of it.
In connection with this subject, lay before our
readers the following extract from the New York Tri-
bune
