In order 10 understand the whole force and bearing Of
these proceedings among The New York wings, the
strange course pursued by the whg leaders Albany a
ter their Indignation meeting had been held, must be
borne in mind. This course is set forth in formal ar.

and tmeythe declaration is broadly made that is
mistake to regard General Taylor in any sense the rep

wing party, and that those wings who support him are
to support him upon "some broader and better ground"
that is, no-party independent candidate. Let be
Observed however, before we quote this manifesto Of
the Albany wings, that the Independents of Maryland
have concluded upon the secret letter addressed them
by General Taylor that they must abandon him, precise
y because he had abandoned his no-pary independent
position! With this fact in view, mark the following
language OF the Evening Journal which we give as we
find it copied and warmly approved in the National In
tellgencer:

This is the language in which the Evening Journal,
speaking for the Albany wings, makes up the quarrel
with General Taylor which led to the Indignation
