Correspondence Of The \. Y. Tribune
CLEVELAND, Friday, Nov. &c 1852
Well, election is over and the once yictOr-
Gus Wing party Is I" no whar" For want of votes it
died goodly number of attended il to its
resting place and "Iunl fuu" Is written its tomb
stone Whether il be raised to life again is in tho
womb Of the future, but of one thing may, think
be quite ure that il it, bones and muscles 10
tnue what the Baltimore Convention made them, no
power will be found adequate TO galvanizng 1t
more into motion. Whether the mOurners will be ben
Gifted by looking the of its downfall Is quite
doubtful for experience has been truly observed
too often like the stern lights of step that only u
mines the space passed over"
At the risk however of being charged with opening
old beg leave ray that the eighth resolution
of the Baltimore Convention IN which the compromise
measures were indOrsed with sort OF a milk and wa
ter qualification did more in Ohio 20 defeat scott than
almost al other causes combined. Had Scott been nom
mated without any platform he shouli have been,
have good reason know that thousands OF voters in
nortl ern Ohio who went for Hale. would have been
found active in hi. behalf
In my letter Of June ), otter speaking of the danger
20 be apprehended, in the WhIg Convention IN
dorsed the ueiiive Law added for 9TH states can
mot speak but ii such be the action OF the Cony enon,
''and II Scott IL compelled 70 carry his shoulders
such load, then OHIO is lost to hun beyond all per
"sdvcLture" The result has justified the prediction.
Let il ever be borne in mind that the We tern Re
serve the former onghoid of WnGgery in ONO II In

believe Slavery be local aud not a natlonil nstu-

For the rs time in its history the National Wing party
ndorsed obnoxious TO it, great Northern heart

That Ohio would have gone for Scott even without
the platform may perhaps be regarded doubtful but
that the Free Soil organization would have been well
nigh broken up and the Wing party LETT IN much bet
ter position than Il occupies, - quite certain.
And here permit say t-at OF all the speeches Of
