The WING Witness Backing out from
his Testimony.

The WING witness Backiug out from
his Testimony.
On publishing the resolutions or platform Of tho
Convention, rather of the Wing Members
of the last Legislature, the editor Of the Indiana
Journal, after expressing his admiration oftber sent
ments. introduced them to she public with the hope,
that the Wing party would act on their suggestions,
and, in every instance, nominate full tickets to carry
out the intentions of the caucus. This but
few days after the meeting of the CAUCUS and at
time too. when every object was fresh to his mind.
He now attempts to get his friend Mcguire out of
the difficulty in which he has placed himself by a
miserable qubble, that the precise words of the De-
mocratc committee not found in any Of the reso-
lutons and that the is not responsible for his
Interpretation of their meaning. He omits the cap
iion to the resolutions as well as his own editorial
comments, which, if inserted. would justify all the
Democratic Committee stated, and will again reit-
crate, that, in this connection, no sare man can
any other conclusion than that already arrived Mt
by the committee. ~
/ Mr.. Mcguire has one advantage in the Journsl's
present testimony That paper once remarked, that
regard for Wing principles forbade the nomination
of General Taylor, and afterwards backed out, as it
has attempted to do, in the present instance. But
intend 10 hold it to Its first position in this matter,
although there is one more chance of escape. The
resolutions go to establish party, viz: the
Democratic Wing party-and as Mr.. Mcguire has
always been old fashioned whg. he is, perhaps,
not sufficiently posted up in political matters to
derstand the full movements of this new party.
There is doubt that this Democratic Wing
party intended to recommend full tickets, embracing
Delegates to the Convention, for without suclr re-
commendation, expressed implied. their platform
is nonsensical, and of no earthly use. | would like
to know how any pure Democrat would feel. stand
ing on this platform, the tail end of which en-
dorses and glori6es all the acts of General Taylor,
by running a compromise ticket. A regard for
Wing principles once forbade the nomination of
General Taylor-ard regard for the truth induced
the Journal to define the position Of The Whig eau
Gus recommending full tickets. The Journal has
only again backed out-ihai's all. A DEMOCRAT.

speech in the House of Representatives scaters
the diamonds Of his intellect in rich profuson. He
renders the following just and feeling tribute to the
character of State. which though it makes no great
pretensions, is one of the most sterling in our Con-
federacy:
