CoxrNe ToaErHER.-The Wing policy in
New York is to carry the State. and to settle
their principles afterward. These principle.
are of small account compared with the spoils
in the estimation of the Wings; in proof of
which it may be noticed that the two factions
in that State, the Woolly Heads and Silver
Greys. have ceased from all hostilities, and be-
come as gentle as lambs! They profess to hate
and detest each other, and have never been
reconcied; but the necessity Of going together
in order to retain the State, makes them forego
their mutual hatreds, and harmonize for the
present. The Journal Of Commerce remarks
that the Tribune is the only Wing paper Of
any consequence. that keeps up an abolition
fire. ut can however be quieted if need be-
by sending one of its editors to Congressr'-
The Fugitive" law will not be heard of among
New York Wings for some time to come.
