Northern Confidence.

That the free soilers of the north will succeed in
mastering the diSatfected members of the south
ern whig party is becoming as plain as daylight
They must and will be whipped into the traces.
And 1t Will not take much whipping either. Stan
ley and Mangum and others of distinction, have
already declared their willingness to swallow Scott
and IL will not be many days before more and more
will follow suit. Wings have eapacious stomachs
as well as strong ones. The operation will not
hurt them great deal. The northern wings count
with confidence upon complete back out the
part of Gentry, DC, from the s'disorganizng''
position. the Tribune calls their little muss in
the late caucus. Hear what the principal CORES
pondent of the New Y ork Tribune in letter of
the 22d says:
"The TeIegraphic account of the Wing Caucus
is grossly exaggerated. 1t is believed to have
been furnished by the Eye on the Capitol
There is nothing here like the alarming picture it
has exhibited The alleged rupture in the Wing
ranks is really very small and harmless semi
detection. There is no reason to suppose that
there are half a dozen Wings in Congress who
would not be found supporting Gen. Scott for the
Presidency, if he were nominated tomorrow with
out any reference to Compromise resolutions
The real detection, so far as it goes, is almost en-
urely of purely personal character. And the
question of the Vice Presidency, let me say, has
quite as much to do with it as the Presidency.
Mary land is border State, is sensitive on.the
Gorsuch murder, and Is earnest for the Compro-
mise; but she has no Wings in Congress who have
any desire to throw themselves into the arms of
the Loco-Focos, or turn disorganzers. As to
Kentucky Mr. Humphrey Marshall makes the
fuss The Wings in Congress from that State,
with the exception of Mr.. Marshall, are gentle
men who entertain no desire or expectation of a
rupture They will prove good and true men.
AS 10 Tennessee, John Bell and Gov. Jones are
unseduced, and will never desert the Wing flag
under any circumstances. Mr.. Gentry, we are
panied To say, has belied his a-tecedentS, and dis
appointed his friends. But for his single case, we
should say unhesitatingly, that erery man IN Con-
greSS from tie South, aehoma tie Wigs lad a good
reason to rety upon, can be relied on IN this enter
gency. MIR. Gentry alonaa OF all the faithful, has
gone off tangent. Whether or no he sees a
Mordeca i'll his visions, We shall not undertake to
determine.
I No, gentlemen; there is no such stampede as
the telegraph has represented. But its lies have
gone, and the truth WIN be slow to oyertake them
But those lies will do no mischief in the long run.
They will but return to plague the authors
Just as we predicted. The whole party, from
the highest to The lowest, will give in to demands
of my Lord Cardinal Seward What use. he will
make OF his power, should his damnable plots be
successful, Is apparent to every one. a world OF
instances of the deadly and undying hatreI of the
northern wings TO southern institutions might be
cited, but late vote in the Senate upon motion
to lay upon the table petitions presented by Sc
ward in favor of the repeal of the Fugitive Slave
law, is a bold and striking fact which shows the
complexion OF the politician associates of Bell,
Jones and Cullorn, ct id genus. Upon the
resolution TO lay these peutlons upon the table,
every Wig from tie Northern States, except
Mr. Cooper, of Pennsy ivania, voted NO. On
the Other hand, the Democracy of the North and
West In the L. 5. Senate, with single excep-
ton, voted in favor OF laying the whole matter up
on the table. Various propositions were offered,
and with about the same resul,. &.
Let the people of The south look to these things
Let them take that they are not betrayed into
the tolls OF those who against their institu-
