wings that are Whigs!

'tSeveral of the most prominent CLAY MEN
were present, and joined in the demonstration
for Mr.. Fillmore"
The above is the concluding sentence of an
editorial article in the Republic of this morning,
descriptive of the Fillmore demonstration in New
York, on Monday night.
To us it is not marvellous that several even Of
the "most prominent Clay men" should favor the
nomination of Mr.. Fillmore, and we regard the
implied suggestion to that effect as far from just
or respectful toward our estmable President.
Mr. Fillmore and Mr.. Clay have both been
supposed to be Wings in past times, and we have
never heard of full and entire remuneration of
the Wing party by either; and in a meeting in
New York of friends of Mr.. Fillmore we might
naturally look for the attendance of quite goody
number of Wings, both leading and following.
If the meeting was Wing meeting, there were
Clay Wings there and so it may possibly be
found in Wing meetings not favorable to Mr.. Fill
more. We state this lest the emphatic enuncia-
ton above quoted may have some meaning not
revealed upon its face. The writer Of these re-
marks has felt deep interest in the nominations
Of the Wing party ever since the administration
of John Quincy Adams, and never once received
any other candidate than Henry Clay, except
under solemn protest, and he has never once re-
GREETED that such has been his course; and in
the hour in which that illustrious statesman is
about to pass from earth, we would struggle to
perpetuate, as proud monument Of his fame,
THE WING PARTY AS 1T Is AND EVER HAS BEEN.
To destroy that party, or to suffer its identity to
be lost by the amalgamation of evanescent OF
incongruous elements, is not, in our humble
judgment, the true policy of any Wing, or of any
man of unyielding devotion to the noble old
veteran whose spirit is impressed upon every
fold of its unsullied banner.

From the Union of this morning J
To the Public.

Perceiving that there are obstacles to the har-
mony of the Democratic party, growing in some
degree out of alleged differences ofopinion respect
ing the political views which have been maintain
ed by the Washington Union under the editorship
of the undersigned, he feels it his duty to do what
he can consistently and properly, to remove them.
He has, therefore, determined to transfer his en-
tire interest in the establishment to his partner,
General Armstrong, and TO retire from the edi-
toral chair to his private pursuits in Tennessee.
In taking leave of the subscribers to the Welsh
ington Union, the undersigned only uses the oc-
casion to assure them that he has endeavored
faithfully to maintain the old and settled princ-
Piles of the Democratic party, which he trusts are
destined to survive the occasional interruptions of
their just influence arising from the differences
among individuals, or from the more dangerous
conflicts of sectional prejudice.
A. J. .DoNELsoN.
Mr.. Donelson has not reposed upon bed of
roses since he entered the Union Office, and his
departure from it viii at least not abridge his
span of life. Yet in the midst of severe labors,
and many crosses and trials, he has here as every
where won the most ardent and respectful at
tachment of all with whom he has been brought
into contact Were we to make choice in the
matter, We should prefer his remaining in the
position he has so creditably filed until liberal
reward should prove his just recompenso. Let
him go wherever he may, however, there will
linger behind him but few reproaches from either
Democrats or Wings; while he will bear with
him the good will and kindly wishes Of the mil
lions of his countrymeu who believe and acknowl-
edge that he would RATHER BE RIGHT THAN sue
