step out Of their province for no convention can
rightfully take upon itself to say that the peo-
pile of these United States shall not repeal
law which they, the people, and not the con-
ventiOn, did themselves enact. And we warn
the gentlemen who proved so refractory at the
late caucus, that if they suppose that they can
raise third and successful party on Stch
basis, they will find themselves most gorgeous

If we were member of the party, we should
say this was very poor counsel. With such
policy, the Wings will fall between two stools
Suppose the aequieseing resolution introduce
ed, Humphrey Marshall forthwith follows
with his fnality test. This is rejected; the ae-
quiescing resolution is adopted. What follows
So "your Convention and Candidate acquiesce
in the Internal Fugitive Law, do they?' cries a
Northern Whig-"You can't have my vote-if
you had said nothing at all, might have voted,
without giving fragrant sanction to that de-
testable measure" "Ah, how cunning" says
the Southern Wing" You acquiesce, but do
not intend to continue acquiescent. Had you
refused when you rejected the inality test to
make any declaration of opinion, you might
have INDICATED yourselves by the precedent OF
'48, and your intended fraud would not have
been so apparent But in declaring present
acquiescence, while you refuse the finality test
you can plead no precedent, and you plainly
imply an unfriendly purpose to be carried out
hereafter"
If success be the only aim Of the Wing Con-
vention, it must nominate Scott without resO-
luton, declaration, or committal Of any kind
on their part or his, or nominate Fillmore with
an emphatic affirmation of the finalty of the
Compromise and Fugitive Law Any other
course will leave it without even plank to
stand upon.

WHO ARE TIIEYl

Mr.. EDIroR Among your Washington let
ter-wrters the most oracular are "loN" and
Ak" of the Baltimore Sun Do tell us who
they are. The country is interested in know
ing the gentlemen who are 70 ngeniously
manufacturing our next President.
INQUIRER.
Is it possible that the two gentlemen who
know everything, should be unknown by any
body? Need we say that they are both men
of mature age, varied experience, and flowing
peni The beauty of it is that they can
write just as well without facts as with them
perhaps better, for they can then draw upon
the imagination, which never refuses the
demand
Mr.. Kingman, the Ion Of the Sun, is an old
citizen of Washington, of Democratic proclivi-
ties, not welded to party organizations, find
ing his life in politics and accustomed to think
aloud from day to day in the Sun. He has a
summary, downright way Of deciding the most
important questions, which none but an cxpe-
rieneed and happily-endowed Washington let
ter-writer ever attains
Mr. Grund, the az of the Sun, a native
of Germany, has resided long enough in this
country to become familiar with our parties
and politicians. He is piquant acute, selfsat-
isfed, and dogmatic. He rivals Ion in the
bre,ity and acuteness with which he solves all
difficult problems, and settless all vexed ques-
tons; but surpasses him in the freedom of his
personal CRITICISMS. lie "trots out our pub
lie men whenever it suits him. shows off their
good or bad points, puts them through all their
PAGES, pats one, cracks the whip in the ears Of
third, and turns others out to grass, all with
delightful cooness
The shrewd old fellows have taken it into
their heads to elect the next President, and
they are getting along admirably, They have
settled the programme for the Democratic Con.
venton and decided that General Scott must
shall, and will write letter-a thing he could
do with perfect IMMUNITY, had he half their
skill in that line. Cass, they will bring into
the Democratic Convention with 100 votes sc
that they set his nomination down as "a fixed
fact and to nominate, they hold, is to elect
At the same time, they are specially regardful
of the interests of Fillmore and Webster, con-
tending that the South should stand by them
that it will act cruelty to keep aloof and let
them be "cut to pieces" in the Convention,
by Northern Abolitionists and Free-Soilers.
They of course prefer that this disagreeable
operation should be performed by General
Cas- evidently fearing that under any other
arrangement, he might be operated upon, in
stead of operating We have thus introduced
to Inquirer these two remarkable letter-wr-
ters whose lucubrations we confess we read
with great interest though not always to edit
