lor, who, according to his own she"ii's' "dS
no capacity for civil station has oeeh seiec.Fu
as the candidate of the Federal party; and this
brings us 10 our second inquiry, viz Ian
the organs of North Carolina Whiggery ad-
dr.s one good substantial reason why the
Wings, as Wings, should support Gen. Tay-
Ior as their candidate for the Presidency p
We will in part answer this question, by quo
ting from call for meeting of the Wings of
Boston, to take steps against the nomination
of Cen Taylor by the Philadelphia CONVEX
ton. This call emanates from Wings, and is
addressed TO Wings. 1t says:
"HE IS NOT Who, when tried by the STAN
dard of our party organization. He has never
voted for Wing candidate, has declared that the
party must not look 10 him as an exponent oil lis
principles, that he would accept the nomlnauon
of the Democratic party. and that he would net
submit his claims to the decision OF the Wings,
acting through their regularly constituted Con-
vention.
.HE IS NOT WHO, if judged by the 0pi1l-
inns he entertans upon questions OF public poll
CIV. Upon the great questions OF Currency and
Finance, of Internal Improvements. of Protection
|
the Wings, he has distinctly avowed that he has
formed no opinion at all" &
Will any of the Wing papers of North Car
DINA dare to contravert or deny the truth Of
what is here set forth by their brethren il
Boston? We shall see. What we would
like TO ask those who now support Gen. Tay
lor is, what are his views on any of the grea
questions which agitate the public mind. W.
call upon the Wing papers of North Carolin;
to come out boldly and frankly, and admi
that they advocate the claims of a man for tn
Presidency who has no political principles
at least none that he will avow-or, in defaul
of this, 10 state what are the principles of thei
candidate. Who amongst the Wings can even
up 10 this day, when he is actually their can
didate, tell us in what particular Gen. Taylo
agrees with the Wing party !? Will any VIII
paper in North Carolina answer this question
The Wings of North Carolina used to be Hg
Tariff men, Anti Independent Treasury mer
Distributionists, Internal Improvement mer
and United States Bank men. Does Genera
Taylor agree with them on any one OF thes
measures? And if he does, where is the evj
dence? Has he not said that he would acceI
a nomination at the hands of a Democrat
Convention And that he would not conser
10 run as the candidate of the Wing party, a
a party Most certainly he has. We agai
ask what reason can the Wing organs
North Carolina urge for the support of Gen
Taylor, on the score of his being Wing?
These are interesting questions upon whic
the people of North Carolina have right t
be Informed. Every rejecting man must Sc
. their weight. AS the campaign progresses
= we shall recur to this matter, and, if possibl
{ obtain some satisfactory information from OIL
o Wing coemporaries.

O9-The following will shew our readers that
the Clay wings of New York do not receive
so cordially as might. be, the nomination of
Taylor. Our federal friends have been chuck
ling good deal over the division in the dem
ocratic ranks in the Empire State. They can
now employ themselves in contemplating a
similar state of things with their own harmo-
i.ous whiggery. They need not calculate so
certainly upon the State of New York. The
chances now are that she will cast her SO
votes for Cass and Butler. We clip this from
the Baltimore Sun:
Taylor IN NEW -YoRK -Rumors have been
afoat, for days. that portion at least Of the
Wings of New York were dissatisfied with the
nomination of General Taylor, and had even gone
80 far as to talk of nominating Henry Clay, and
John Van Buren, as Vice President. What truth
there may be in the latter we do not know, but
the existence of mysterious breach in the party
would seem to be proved, by the following omn-
Gus announcement in Tuesdays Tribune:
The City Ratification Meeting, which had
been called for tomorrow evening by sub-com-
mittee of arrangements in pursuance of a resoIu-
ton of the Wing General Committee passed some
time since, was last evening postponed by very
decided vote of the general committee, and of
course will not take place tomorrow evening, as
had been advertised. We believe the prevailing
sentiment of the committee to be that it will be
time enough to hold the proposed meeting when
Gen. Taylor shall have accepted the nomination

didate.

A PRETTY FIx.-At the great Federal Con-
vention where Genl Taylor was nominated
for the Presidency. Judge Saunders, of Loui
slana, announced authoritatively on behalf Of
Gen'l Taylor, that he would abide by the de-
clslon of the Convention, and would not run
as an Independent candidate against the nomi-
nee, if not nominated himself This certain
ly struck every one as singularIy inconsis-
tent declaration on. the part of the old hero
who had declared IN his letter of the goth
April, that he would not Withdraw his name
from the canvass, no matter who might be the
nominee of the Convention. So think the
Taylor men of Maryland The Taylor Elec-
tors and Committee have published card in
the Baltimore papers, in which they declare
that Judge Saunders must have male mis-
take-that they will take the earliest means
of relieving Gen'l Taylor from the pred'cament
in which he is thus placed-and that they will
announce the result to the public. Go it.

THE SECRET SESSIONS There was a GER
tain Convention which assembled great ma
ny years ago in certain city named Hartford,
in the State of Connecticut, which had for its
object the plotting and devising schemes for
the purpose of thwarting the government of
the United States in the war which she was
then waging with England. The actors in,
and the proceedings of, that Convention, have
since become loathsome in the estimation of
the people of America. Well, this same Hart
ford Convention resorted to secret sessions,
where no one was admitted but the members.
What was done and said in these secret ses-
sions, Tor the most part remains a sealed book
to the world TO this day; but it is generally
believed that rank foul treason was preached
and discussed in these secret concIaves A
certain other Convention assembled in the city
of Philadelphia on the 18th of the present
month, and that other Convention resorted 10
secret sessions. Now we do not pretend to
say that the Philadelphia Convention, in ats
secret sessions, discussed the same kind of to-
pics; but we do mean 10 say that things were
done and said there which the leaders OF
Whiggery would not like to have made known
to the people of the country, else why did
they resort to these secret sessions. Our CO.
temporary of the Observer was a member OF
the Wing Convention, and doubtless can in
form his readers upon this interesting point,
if he is so inclined We are sure the people,
even the Wing people, would much like to
get peep behind the curtain. We feel GER
tain that some rich scenes were enacted in
'heSe secret sessions, and it is pity that the
world should not be made acquainted with
Them Wonder if it was not proposed to erect
platform OF principles on which. the Wing
party might stand during the present cam
paign, and if this proposition was not reiec
ted upon the ground that the party had no
principles out Of which to construct such a
platform

HARMONIOUS WHIGGERY.-The New York
Herald of Saturday has long report of
meeting called by the delegates from that city
to the Philadelphia Wing Convention. Some
two or three thousand persons were present.
1t is represented by the press as one Of the
most boisterous assemblages ever congregated
together. Speeches were made for and against
the nomination of Gen. Taylor. All was con-
fusion. The Clay men seemed to be in the
majority Twice motion was made and put
to the meeting by the Chair, to the effect that
Henry Clay be declared the candidate of the
Wings of New York City, and each time the
shouting for Taylor and Clay was so mixed
up that the Chairman could not decide wheth-
er the motion was carried or not. Finally the
meeting broke up in row-,he platform was
torn down, and then the Clay men took pos
session on their own hook. Thus goes Wing
gerry in New York.
FISH OR FLEsH.-Some of the Wings are
beginning to evince fears that Gen'l Taylor,
if elected, might turn out another John Tyler
The straight laced of the faithful, who think
that candidate for Office should have some
sort of principles, want something more from
Gen. Taylor than has yet appeared. The fol
lowing, delivered by Wing orator at Clay
supper in New York, expresses this feeling
with some wit and point:
"We desire to know whether man is fish,
flesh, or fowl, Tgood. good j we desire to know
whether man is cheese or chalk, Laughter i and
if we sit down at table. and a rabbit is put before
Us. il we eat of it. we don't want to 6nd AFTER
wards that we have to digest cat. [Uproarous
applause.
N-Well, indeed, does Horace Greedy, the
Editor of the New York Tribune, one of the
leading whig papers of New York. observe
that the Philadelphia Convention was ''great
national slaughter house" There was slaugh-
tered, without single qualm of conscience,
all that belonged 10 the whig party-its great
leader, its principles, and even its very name
for now it is rapidly acquiring the new name
OF the " availability" party. We ask. where
now, since the adjournment of that "slaugh-
ter house" Convention, is the whig party of
1874 to be found Echo answers where

Prairie Itch, Mage, Old Sores, &c.
1t is highly recommended for open or liberated
Scrofula and Leprosy. No class of diseases have
ever been considered more difficult to cure than
those of cutaneous kind, and it will be conceded
by all intelligent and candid physicians. that n
knowledge of the nature and successful treatment
ofthem is very limited and imperfect It is notorious
that many of these disorders have generally re-
sisted all the ordinary means of cure. Hence the
opinion so commonly prevalent, that they aresin-
durable, and it is probable that before the discov
cry and introduction of Beatsons Justly celebra-
ted remedy this belief was well founded. But
wherever Ibis medicine hiss been known and used,
it has shown this opinion to be erroneous-it has
demonstrated the certainty of radical cure in al
most every cuse. The proprietor, therefore, con-
sidors this ointment as specific for the complaints
above enumerated.
This is no "quack" remedy, but really certain
ond speedy cure it has proved effcacious in every
case, without single exception, for the last three
years, and invariably eradicates it in fourteen
days, however inveterate or long standing. These
assertions can be verified by reference to the nu.
merous respectable families who have seen and
felt its efficacy, and who have, from gratitude
offered their testimonials. 1t leaves neither smell

quality.
