ton. 10 the summit Of prosperity aud power.
They are the new Presidents particular
friends, go they say, and the class is very con
siderably increased within week. The
growth Oft this company reminds US OF Talley-
rands conversation with an ofice-seeKer
under the restored Bourbons, who urged MS
claim on the plea that he had accompanied
Louis XVIII. in his fight to Client on Ma
poleon's return from Elba. " Are you sure
YOU accompanied his Majesty to Client OF
onlv returned with himp asked the WY
Minister. what do you mean, SirF-
"oply this responded the imPerturoa0lo
d;,lomatist "that we know there were out
e;obt hundred who accompanied His Majesty
fo Client. whereas more than eighteen
.horsord ,ftuyned thence with him"
We orenot within the magic circle OF the
r;n,y, f,iends' We never made any effort
Co. Mr. FilImore's Political Advancement
cove in 1874. and then our only thought in
u,0;no his nomination for Vice-President
was to secure the election Of Mr.. Clay and
the consequent ascendancy of the Wing par
~. We believe still that his selection atthat
time would have been the most judicious,
and that none other in '48 would have so Ell
fciently contributed to Gen. Taylor's cleo
ton. but we had no part in making that
nomination. On the selection Of Presiden-
ti,l candidate, we babe adieu to the Phila-
delphia Convention.
But as Wing, anxiously hoping good to
the country from the ascendancy OF wing
rrinciples in the National Councils, and es-
necialIy as a New-York Wing, solicitous for
the success of the first President ever given
by the Wings of New-York TO the Union,
we deeply regret that our common adverse
RES should be able to exult over any appa-
rent feud among the Wings Of this State.
The difference is really superficial; for the
great mass Of the Wings Of our State are
warmly attached to and proud of both their
President and their Senator and see no rea-
son wbv admiration Of the one should inn
NV hostility to the other. With both they
have voted and struggled through twenty
odd wears of ardent Political warfare, some
times voting for one of them, then for the
other. and again for neither; but holding
them both true and tried Wings, eminently
worthy of their confidence and esteem.
The general understanding would seem to
be that of the two President Fillmore is the
more cautious, conservative and moderate,
while Gov. Seward is the more radical, i'm
pulsiye and democratic but the difference, 80
far as it has any real existence, affects no
article Of the Wing creed, no principle
which the Wings have affirmed; for OF these
thew are both decided and uncompromising
supporters. We are sure, therefore, that the
Wings of New-York will not permit them
selves TO be divided and arraYed az linst each
other as Fillmore and Seward men Ger
tainly not new, when a great calamity call;
loudly upon every American, but especially
every Wing, to forget all personal feeling IL
the contemplation of momentous RESPONSE
bilides and imminent public dangers
Should a time ever arrive when 1t will b'
, proper to manifest and indulge persona
preferences, they will each obey the dictates
of his judgment and his feelings, but the
present is no such time and any invidlou'
designation or classification Of Wings a
! friends of this or that one among Our. prom
nent statesmen cannot fail to prove disas
trous.
We read with pain an article in tn
Albany Evening Journal OF wednesday
