vernment and who are wholly unfit to lead an

which will cause the wings great difficulty. There
ton, but there win be Bad feeling excited and il
the Webstermen should bear them selves as arro-
ganty then as they do now, the effect will be felt
a. the polls in November. II is very commonly
said that the whig leaders little desroas Of car
rying the State next fall preferring to make their
grand attempt year later, whom the Presidential
election may have the effect Of harmonzing them.
But little reliance can be placed on this view of
affairs, for upon the Legislature to be chosen, next
fall, will devolve the work of dstrcting the State
for members Of Congress, and the wings cannot be
indifferent to that. Let the coalition carry the
next Legislature, and no intelligent man would give
sixpence for the whig chance of carrying aoove
three Of the eleven districts into which the Safe is
to be divided. This is something that party To-
stinctiyely attends to, and which leaders who are
wise will not neglect.
Several more persons have been added this week,
to the list OF wing candidates for the naton for
Governor, the p incpal of which are, George Ash
man of Springfield, and Mr. Bigelow, now Mayor
have been brought forward by the ultra temperance
interests, and that they may prove very formidable
rivals to Mr.. Clifford. Among the political gossip
of the city is Sat sort Of informal meeting
of leading wings, few days since, at which Mir
Winthrop was present, the chances Of several of
the gentlemen who have been named for the nom-
nation were discussed, but not a word was said
about Mr.. Winthrop's prospects; whereupon that
If he was to be shelved Questions very easy to
propOund, but mighty hard to answer. They were
very natural questions, too for when a maa has
been prominent political leader for some fifteen
ASIDE in the very prime Of life. If the wing press
speaks the sentiments Of the whg voters, Mr.. Win
throp need not fear much, far as the nomination
is concerned, for he is evidently its favorte. His
vlIo nf hon .T
lar qualities, may cause convention to hesitate
before placing him in nomination. The eoaliti0n
would not greatly fear either him or Mr.. Clifford
but it would fear either Mr.. Calhoun or Mr.. Wal
ley; and the fight, If one is to be made in good
earnest must be under popular leader.
The free soilers are very quiet They are a bet
ter managed party than either of the others, and
waiting for the hour of action with o good deal
Of calm confidence They also have guberna-
toral candidate to select; but they not quar-
relng about the matter, though their chance Of
having the Office of Governor is as good as that of
either IT, wings or the democrats. Mr.. Phillips,
their former candidate, is talked OF by some, while
Others talk Of Mr. Palfrey; but the man whs is
most desired for tho place, by the hard working
and hard fighting men of the party, is Gen Henry
Wilson, no ' President of the STATE Senate. He is
the best political leader in Massachusetts, and as
much because be is really 10 earnss. in his wish, as
from any other cause whatever. The election Of
Mr.. sumner is more owing to him than to any
fifty other members of his party; and nothing has
contributed so much to the contiauau,e OF the
coalition as his exertions IL would have been
smashed up last January, and again in M .roh, had
it not been for his tact, skill, and industry. Ons
can admire such q man, even while dissenting from
his views on an important subject. Many demo-
Gratis would prefer to see hi Governor to Bout
well and if the free sellers should nominate him,
as they will dc il they are wise, that fact alone
would do much to keep the coalition together,
especially if Mr.. Winthrop should be the whig
candidate. The wings hate Gen. Will on intensely,
and his elevation would gall them to the verge of
madness, and that is just what the democrats would
like; nor would many Of their number be iucon.
solable if he were to dsplace Governor Boutwell,
from his present place, they like the better,
and be is no more an abolitionst than is the Co
vtrnor. ALoERNoN.
