his is singular spectacle, ard one which
we do not know how 10 reconcile with truf
Whiggery. General j. B. Clark. who has
Uttered himself 10 be placed in tie anoma
Gus position, hos been regarded as Wing
by Wings. They have supported him for
he Guhernatorial chair as Wing. and If
placed on a ticket with Wings, for any
office in his county. he would, we doubt not
receive the full Wing vote. But be has con

himself up with the destinies, and become =

the hope of beating two Wings supported
by that party. 1t is not pretended that
success in the election will make Wing OF
the Locofoco who is 10 be put upon The same
ticket with him. 1t is not pretended tia
any Wing measure will receive support from
this Loco(oco colleague Of his, should they
be elected; but political preponderance, and
every thing else, is made TO give way, in
order TO succeed in this struggle. The po
Itical coque!tes OF The Anti Benton party
intent only on the graft fcation OF their own
desires, and Indifferent as 10 the fate Of the
victim OF their Establishments, have, we yer
lily believe, enroPped General Clark into {
a course Of action which is certain TO ruiz
him. He cannot expect wings to beslov
their votes upon the ticket with which he is
identified, for the very good reason that there
is an unmixed, thorough wing ticket presen
fed, ard he has to carry Locofoco along
with him. With what stomach can Wings
