Safe of Indiana, as well as throughout the Unon'
nothing but desire for the spois Of office has bound
the whig party together. General Taylor, more Than
any man living has proved himself the proper repre-
sentative of such p,riy-aud although in his recen'
message, the slavery question, b. has, without
bushng, apr prried The lead ng features OF his op-
ponent's principles 10 his use; yet US he post
pnnes the time for action the h is still entertained,
that, BY Keeping the slavery question open. the same
game of deception, successfully practis' in 1873
may still continue for many years to cone-leaving
room for one set of principles to b. adopted by the
wings at the North, aud another at The South.
Tue abve has been the practical workings o. whg
gerry in Indiana. and has induced very decided OPP
position Mr.. Clay's resolutions on the part of the
wing press of this State. There is tue exception,
however, in the person Of recently imp prted editor
Of Evansville, whose prime cost is LABELLED at sic
hundred dollars and who is Of the by-du-
ttority printers under Tay'or's administration, aud
is consequently well posted up in matters pertaining
to the wing party at Washington. Being away down
in the pocket, he has been drilled by the other
wing editors. aud has unwittingy upset the whole
system of wing tactics in Indiana Ii is said that
fools und children will tell the truth, and we publish
the remarks of this Evansville editor-Judge En-
bree's right hand man-from his "a Daily Journal of
the ID instant:

The Cenireville Wing, however, that was recently
eliminated, in fat government job of some four or
five hundred dollars, TO make room for this newly
imported Evansville editor holds the following lan-
guage:

Here harmonious specimen of united
whiggery in Indiana. But to show that our first po-
sion is correct, that Mr.. Clay's resolutions TO
be denounced by the wing press of Indiana, copy
the following from the I" Lafayette Atlas" evidently
written by Of the old whig wire-workers of the
State. We have only room for a short extract from
long article The Atlas says
"The resolutions introduced into the u S. SeDae by Mr..
Clay designed effect compromise between the north and
the south in relation to the aggravated question Of slavery

To effect compromise, the Ie-oution relating 10 the
District Of Columbia comedies enough, but yield

We are not mistaken when attribute the above
extract to an old hand at whg management in Ind. j.
ana,-for there are several such residing abont the
vicinity of Laayete,-and the following extract in
reference to General Taylor's message gives a clue
to wing tactics in this State. See how uery explicit
the language in reference TO Gen. Taylors Positions
as laid down in his recent message. The Atlas re-
marks:
IN is document entirely Characteristic Of the noble old
hero manly conciliatory patriotic spirit must
produce the happiest results throughout the country
We trust our readers will preserve these extracts
for future reference. The public mind is sick of
these everlasting generalties. Mr. Clay is sick Of
them too and whether he is right wrong in the
positions he advocates, there is mani ness in his
resolutions which put 10 the blush the equvo-
eating imbeclle at the head of the nation. The
wing party, with Mr.. Clay for a leader, exhibited
something uf high minded and honorable oppose
ton but General Taylor-how can we speak Of
him. as Prcsident.-in any other terms but those of
disgust.
