HARMONY OF THE WINGS.

We took occasion a day ago to note the
wry faces made by the southern wing leaders and
journals when General SCOTS name is mentioned in
their hearing for the presidency. The following,
which copy from the New York Express, goes
to show how the wind is blowing at the North, and
| the complexion OF the wing support which General
Scott may there count upon. The Tribune's position
in regard the slavery issues is well known that
| of the New Bedford Mercury is substantially the
same while the New York Express is recognised
chief organ of the Fillmore or sllver-gray !"
portion of the wing party:
That a MANS ENEdIEs ARE THOSE HIS OWN
HOUSEHOLD is often verified in the attacks made by
Protessediy "hig papers upon the honest wing ad-
is for General Scott, though borrowing is HOSTILE
~ from the Tribune and papers of like free-so
denotes, is talking in this wise:
We cannot dismiss this subject without express
ing opinion of Mr.. Fiilmore's conduct. We think
il unjust and ungenerous in the extreme. By acct
dent he will have acted the part OF President for
three years, when he was only elected Vice Presi-
dent. That ought to satisfy him, because the
vice presidency was beyond his fair deserts. How
ever he the success, such it has been, OF his
administration to Mr.. Webster; because Mr.. Webster
is old man, and hundred times more deserving
the presidency than himself; because there was
implied obligation on the part of MIR. Fillmore to
make way for Mr.. Webster"
The Tribune finds nuts to crack in the following
s. Mr. FILLMoRE's DECISION. The only journal of
our city which flies for President, Daniel ebser
its head, has the following Pungent editorial in its
last issue:
1.-THE WITHDRAWAL OF Mr.. FILLMORE. We learn
from reliable source at Washington that Mr. Fill
more has given his word to Mr.. Webster that he will
allow his be used at the wing convention
candidate for the presidency. He has frequent
ly said this Mr.. Websters hearing since the dis
solution Of the last Congress- and when it was pub
lcy announced tt he had decided not to Withdraw
his name, Mr. w ebster astonished. A coldness
at once sprung up between them, when Mr.. Fillmore
sent Mr.. Webster message, the substance of
which was as stated above. Whether MIR. Fill
more will withdraw his not IS Than
pretend kn0lU but believe he will. His chances
are n60t the same, ,vheher he ,0ihdraaVS holds on
There is true wing in the country, not one who
wishes to his party, who desires the cleo
ton of a WING President, who will assail Mr.. Fill
mere after the above fashion, they do with
any assurance of success to the wing their
candidates.
Indications like these clearly presage the doom Of
the southern wings. II is to take GeH. Scott either
without any definition of his position, else with
such a one as will suit the Tribune, the Mercury,
the Albany Evening Journal, and the free-so wing
leaders like Mr.. Senator Seward for whom they
speak.
In States like Kentucky, Tennessee, North Caro-
lima, and Louisiana, this regimen will put the whig
party a severe purgation Already it has brought
before the leading wings there the important issue,
whether they will prefer justice to their section or
feaIty their party whg administration with the
slavery agitation reopened by their own act or de-
mocralic administration with the maintenance of the
existing Adjustment part of its policy
Washington Union.
