We make this suggestion, that there may be
~ dissatisfaction caused by 4 Misunderstanding
q the action Of the covention and the duty OF
The Delegation.
o,a. seoss % IS the Candidate.--The Wing Party
Opposed to the Compounds.
We have frequently expressed the opinion,
hat Gen. Scots chances for Wing Prcsiden
Dental nomination, were superior to any other
man's. This has been shadowed forth, in the
repeated conce ssions Of the Wing party Of the
North. 70 the Freesoilers; and the disposition
with this party, to place higher value upo"
the vote Of the Aboit,onists, than upon the peace
and harmony OF the country-a stronger desire
Tor party success, than to preserve the country
from domestic agitation and violence. A world
Of literary labor has been bestowed upon the
country, to prove tina, the Wing party is sound
upon this question; aid able articles have been
freely contributed to the Wing press, in vnd'-
cation OF Mr.. Fillmore, a. the especial champ'-
On Of the "Compromise." Eminently guarded
and cautious have the leaders Of this party been,
to preserve an outward show Of respect for the
Compromise, while secretly, they have been
constantly and ,ndustriously hugging Free Soil
70 their bosoms, and tampering with the dearest
interests Of their country.
1t 10 not strange that many good men in the
country, have been cajoled by their specious
deeeprions. But now there 10 no longer room
Tor eavil, or doubt. The House Of Representa-.
lives, on the 9Th inst, definitely settled the ques
zion Of where the Wing party stand upon the
Compromise, and who its candidate is to be-
Upon motion to adopt resolution offered by
Mr.. Jackson, declaring the compromise final
settlement Of the slavery question, we find in
shc Congressional proceedings the following
vote:
Affirmative. INsgatirs.

Thus, il will be seen, that had this resolution
depended upon the vote Of Northern Democrats
alone. il would have been sustained by the de-
sisive vote of to 22-by majority Of nearly
two to one; while, had it depended for success
anon the vote of Northern Wings alone. it
would have been defeated by the dec sive vote

Another significant fact, in connection with this
vote, il, that but q Wings, North and South,
voted for the resolution; or, in other words, for
the Compromise. while 81 Whigs-3O from the

But there was another vote during the PEN
drncy Of this question, which, perhaps, serves
two parties, than the FINAL vote upon the resolu-
ton. Upon motion to lay the resolution and
various amendments to it, upon the table, we
have The following vote:

Here It win be discovered, again, that the
rights Of the South, and the settlement of this |
dis,racting question, repose in the hands Of the
democracy. In the list of those who voted TO
lay this whole subject OH the table, we find the
following leading and most substantial friends |
Of the President: Messrs. Brooks, Chi ndler,

Indiana. These men are the staunch friends o:
the President, MIR. Haven being from the old
District of Mr. Fillmore, and having been his |
law partner for many years.
Viewing this subject in the most favorable
light that the facts can place it, we find that the
strongest force Mr.. Fillnore-the great cham
pion Of the Compromise-couldc command a.
mong his wing friends Of the North, was seven
votes, all told. EmphaticaIly might he ejacu-
late. sssave me from my friends" And yet. do
We not see it stated, every day, in wing journals,
from the Presidents special organ, down to thu
puniest wing print in the country, that the wing
party is entirely sound upon this great question:
The truth is, the true friends Of the country
