Mx SEWARD made good speech yesterday on the
Collins Steamers II is an excellent example OF now
stropg case may be made out the wrong side oil
subject.
The Continental Governments will be looking suspi
couslv upon the clouds of Americans who this year
aochne across the Atlantic Thirty to forty passports
are Issued daily at the State Department for American
travellers In Europe much greater number than ever
before These gentlemen expect to be regarded
on their arrival In the old country as part oil hossuths

The manifesto of the Southern libustiering Wings ap-
pears in this mornings Republic and will be great re-
lief to those Wings at distance who have been deceiv
ed by the outrageous exaggeraons of the rupture in
the Wing party here growing out of the Congressional
Caucus The rupture is here exhibited in its length
and BREADTH and Is shown to be only very slight haw
The signatures attached the manifesto verify the
rectness of my former representation that among the
busterine Wings no could be found but that OF
p GENTRY that would excite either surprise or ap
prehension at being found in such company is to be
regretted that Mr. GENTRY has allowed himself under
The influence of personal other considerations OF
temporary nature to fling shadow over the luster oil
that genuine manness and loyalty OF nature that has
always been the pride and boast of this distinguished son
OF Tennessee, and the admiration Of every true Wing
throughout the country and feel quite sure that the
time is not far distant when man will lament his pre-
sent false position more than Mr.. GENTRY himself
twill be observed that Mr.. HUMPHREY MARSHALL
alone represents the noble Wing State of Kentucky in
this stampede that Maryland is totally unrepresented
and that Mr. OUTLAW is the only man from North Caro-
lima who seems inclined to outlaw himself from the
Wing party in this emergency. From these three
steady and consistent Wing States have therefore,
Just teO gentlemen and more, who modesy suggest
the propriey of the dsbsndment Of the Wing party and
the establishment Of party its ruins unless 1t
will consent put itself under their leadership We
imagine but few tried Wings anywhere will be inclined
to recognize these preensions and fancy that the
Wig party OF the three States enumerated will hnd
itself quite as well able do without the aid and coun
eel Of THESE TWO gchticthch "s uicy WI o' e"' w ""
without the Why party
We feel douby assured after Witnessing the feeble
ness Of this the part of the fbustering Wings,
that no serious injury awaits the Wing party from ITS
Internal disscnsions The Wings of the South are, in
the main. true and sensible men. They have never
been wont to sacrifice themselves or their Northern
allies by impracticabe notions or courses. They Will
nodekpow. To be sure we have all witnessed the an
tcs II the ToomBsEs, and SrErHRNsEs, which have is
sssd nothing but mischief and it quite likely other
