Hs The Ez1aess says that The Tribune " takes
good care to conceal" that the Wing Executive
Committees recent salute was tired manly IN
honor of the Admission Of California and says
that was "a fact studiously concealed by The
Tribune" There is good deal more talk In this
vein of the truthful and amooth faced Tribune"
"impudence of the assumption, assurance OF
the comment" &C. All this may pass unrebuked,
bur the fundamental mistake of The Express must
be exposed. On the morning of the gun firing, we
publis6ed conspicuouSly The COMMITTEE oWn rtSo-
lutions, setting forth for what the salute was to
be gigen; 40 that if there was any concealment"
in the premises, il ia attributable to the Commit
tee, and not to US. The Committee say;

These are the reaSons for the Salute precise
" az we printed them at the time. Where, then,
is the conceament? Where is the evidence that
the Salute was ordered "moinly in honor of the
Admission Of California;" Nay; is there not
clear i'm plicaton Ia Ia Tammany that those of our
Members Of Congress who voted ganst majority
of these bills were not "ready to sacrifice local
opinions and individual preferences GA the altar oil
their common country We say it is childish to
talk of our dssent from this proc ed ng al impus
ing bad intentions" &c. The intention plainly
was to give the Wing party an anti-Provino sheer
andmake acquiescence In thel Texas Boundary and
trimmings shibboleth Of IWhig orthodoxy. We
protest against all this calculated TO distract and
divide the party. We have always taken our
own course on these Compromise bills 80 called,
supporting such as We could and opposing the 9TH
ers, and did not consider that we were more or less
sound in the Wing faith st one time than at anoth-
er. Let us agree where we can and differ when we
must without attempting to osra cise or brand each
other. We know good Wings who went for some
of the Compromise bills, and as good who went
dead against them. 1t was all wrong for Wing
Committee TO fire guns to celebrate the triumph Of
one half the Wing party over the other.
