The Kalida venture. [volume] (Kalida, Ohio) 1841-1865, 1851-11-21

There ex'sis great diversity inlt

public mind IN reference 10 candidates Of
both parties for the Presidency. lathe
Wing parry, Scott, Webster and Fillmore
appear to be the most prominent, with a
forlorn hope for Henry Clay. Or Scott
The recent defeats have pretty well dis

of principle vouId dispose Of him still
more effaciually. Webster Is loo i'm
moral, TOO vinaL and too unpatriotic ever
to be offered for the surfaces Of the
American people. Fillmore is 'hemosi
probable Wing candidate, but he carries
no moral force with him, his apostasy

Imam from anticipated defeat. We do
not for = moment believe thai any man
l,he Wing party may nominate, can be
succsssful. No Wing or Federal candi-
date since the establishment Of the Gov
ernmen, has ever held the cflice a Sec

never will. Be this as il may, at this
probable jnucture there is little proba
