JAMES LYONS, Chairman.
The above appeared yesterday 10 The Wing
papers OF this city. We copy it, that our friends
Throughout The Stale may be on the alert, and
meet The enemy by corresponding efforts The
attention of our Electors and Assistant Electors
is particularly called 10 the las, resolution. We,
too say, let "lhe discussion before the people OF
the great questions involved in the pending
election" be commenced as soon as practicable.
We have all 10 gain, and nothing TO lose by such
discussion. Let our orators demand of their
opponents the political principles Of their candi-
dates-General Taylor and Willard Fillmore
make them show their hands on the 'grcat
questions involved in The pending election" Are
General Taylor's and Mil.ard Fillmore's princi.
pies The same7 All the old issues OF Bank, Ia
riff, Distribution, Sub.Treasury, &C.. &C., We
have been told (uot honestly so, We are sure) are
mol now the questions involved" The War,
the "unholy and damnable war;" they have been
maintaining, was The only question in issue.
That platform" has been taken from them BY
peace as honorable as the war was glorious.
VIVA, now are the principles, or The ''greal
commence upon "as early as praclicabe7"
A curiou. fact is developed in the above viz:
that the Wings of Virginia have officially repu.
dated the Wing candidate for Vice President
and have offered "mulilaled" ticket The name
of Fillmore does not appear al ALL and only those
who favor the election Of Gen. Taylor" are re.
quested to meet. Why the clubs are recommend.
ed TO be called" Trough and Ready Clubs" we
cannot we'll see. If they were called by any
other name, would they not help the cause OF
seen. TAYLOR" as well Or does Whiggery con.
sisl not in substance but in names and soupds2
What are The opinions of The Wing candidate
| for President upon "lhe great questions involved
may be guessed by reference 10 the vouminous
| many.sded and Protean letters OF Gen. t. which
are all that were published in the Enqurer.-
| (Some few others we did not publish, because
they were OF no importance.) They are enough,
however, in all conscience, TO make Confusion
worse COMPOUNDED" as 10 "lhe principles" OF the
Wing candidate for the highest Office in the world
They will be found 10 be OF immense service to
boh Democratic and Wing speakers, in enlight.
ening The voters. We would remark that the
Philadelphia Convention actually refused 10 en-.
dorse The Allison letter.

have, tor more Than thirty years been ilustrous
10 the annals OF our party contests, and substitute
in their place a candidate who has no PRINCIPLES
10 declare, and with promise on his part thai the
veto power shall not be exercised, the American
people know, from dear-bonght e1 periencc, that
most deadly blow is thereby secretly medi,aed
against The great interests OF the country, and
that those interests will be invaded by representa-
lives aching under no instructions from The people,
their individual will

sident, and Of William y. Butler for the office Of

been unable to get within hearing or procure ac
commodaton al the other meetings, also organ
lied separate meeting in rear Of The City Hail
and were addressed by several able and disIin.
guished speakers. The right spirit seems to per.
wade our friends in the city Of New York. They
are putting the ball in motion finely, aud we have
well grounded hopes Of securing The vote Of that
Stale in the fall for Cas- and Butler.
