The City Wings, aud Scett, Fillmore and
Wsbster-The Crisis Mt Hand.

The fate Of the wing party of this city, the Pre-
sdcntial question, is to be decided this week. The
Fillmore men will lead off in the dance. this evening"
in grand public demonstration, at the Chinese
Assembly Rooms. The entire forces of the Custom
House, the Post Office, and the Navy Yard. and all
the recruits they muster, will be hand,
together with Of the remnants Of the late Castle
Garden Union Safety Committee. Several of the
seeding Southern wings from the late Congressional
Wing Caucus at Washington will be present
both Mr.. Marshall and Mr.. Gentry having arrived
and every thing that can Le done will be done
10 give Fillmore good start for the primary cleo
tons Thursday next, for delegates TO Baltimore.
After the series of protraeted meetings held by the
Fillmore men last week, they ought to have good
time this evening; and may expect to see them
drive Scott, Seward and the abolitionists into the
same corner the fugitive question, while the Pre-
silent of the United States is raised to the seventh
heaven. alongside Of Henry Clay, upon the Com
promise measures.
Next Thursday, however, il the eventual day to the
wing party of this great commercial city. The con-
test Of that morning will simply determine whether
city wings for the compromises, and peace
and good will towards the South for Seward, the
revival Of the slavery agitation, and the higher
law. We suspect that Mr. Webstcrs friends will
take no part IN the battle but leave it to be fought
out between the forces of Fillmore and Scott. 1t
has been proclaimed by one of Yr Websters organs,
that God Almighty had nominated him for the Pre-
sidcncy; and being backed up by the whole moneyed
power Of Wall street. his position is omnipotent

Baltimore conventions. anything of ths sort, if

The primary elections, then, of Thursday next,
commencing at the early hour of six o'clock in til
morning, and lasting only three hours, win be
desperate struggle between the Scott anS Fillmore
factions, for the delegates to Baltimore The Scott
faction will have all the police force of the city,
appointed by the late Seward Corporation-all the
available strength of the Aims House and other
benevolent nstitutions-nearly all the . whig
bullies and rowdies in spite Of the pretences Of the
Scott-scward organs to the contrary, and host Of
other loose materials as the allies Of the old abol-
ton fogics and sly dcmagogues Of Seward and hi,
schemes The Fillmore faction will have the ad-
vantage Of the snews Of war Of the Custom House,
the Post Office, and the Navy Yard; and if they
bleed freely, they may do something. Beside all
this they have the moral power Of the constitution,
aud The compromises, and cotton, lice. sugar. and
tobacco al on their side. But they rise carly
or The Scott men may carry out their designs Of
ecctng fo, out Of the six delegates from this city
and county Let the friends Of Mr.. Webster also,
now that they have him all secure, be generous on
this occasion-as they can afford to be- Let them
bring up the reserved forces Of Wall street, if
sary, in yindcaton Of the constitution and the laws
and Let the Un.oa Safety Committee rally to the
rescue.
