Mr.. Davies then read address which had been pre-

STATIONS of widespread rage and disappointment among
the wings of the north at General Tayors nomination
that we told by the Taylor journals to look for nd
cations and proofs that he is to be hurahed into the pres
dency We are told to believe this in view of the threat
ened secession of vast of the wings in New Eng
land, in New York, in Ohio, and throughout the north
west-and not their secession only, but their conem-
plated union with the barnburning democrats of New
York in favor of their free-soil candidate! Unless
very great change-and must be sudden change too
shall come the whole aspect OF wing affairs in this
the region where alone the wings have considerable
strength we deem most probable that the regular dem
ocrtc ticket in those States where the plurality principle
prevails will be rumphanty successful Certain it is,
at all events that the whole which resulted in
the nomination of General Taylor has hitherto shown
itself an utter and absolute failure The whole country
seems to be alive to the fact that his nomination was
a valuable trick of political gambling-that 1t was
brought about in entire outrage of all pretence OF
potical prnciple-hat it insult to the political
intelligence and the political integrity OF the masses OF
the wing party-and that it was accomplished by means
as nearious as the purposes which 1t had in view. In
this state of things look with all confidence for the
election OF Cass and Butler But if they are to be de-
feaed it will at least be evident that the work is done
bv treason in our own ranks rather than by the strength
the skill, or the Judgment Of opponents more I'M
statesman like man than Zachary Taylor they could not
have nominated nor could they have nominated any
whose defeat is more mperavey demanded by all those

which have heretofore made the democratic party united
