OF very many OF those states are opposed to the
mad schemes of the abolitionists and slavery spi
lators; Pennsylvania and Ohio, with alnos, the
entire northwest, including California, proved
themselves democratic in the last election, and
we have every reason to believe that they will
give similar proof next November. In New
York, i was nearly drawn battle last fall, tho
the democrats seem 10 have had rather the ad.
vantage. and they can count certainly on Maine
and New Hampshire, and probably Connecticut.
Yes The whig party are, to all nenis and pur.
poses dena'ionalized, nor cen they. within any
brief time, recover their pristine vigor and broad
national character. They can hardly command
a majority even in their own favorite section.
Had the whig national vention--but II i. a
misnomer to call it natioaaL--ihe whig Bali.
timore convention nominated Fillmore or Web
steT, the case would have been quite different.
1t would then have been purely national contest
upon the old issues, between the wings and dem
ocrais in all sections of the Union, Just such
one as we had in ls44. But the whs leaders.
il seems, were afraid to try that over again. The
election of "A taught them that they were in the
minority, and the elections held since the death
OF Gen. Taylor have convinced them that that
minority, 'grows small by degrees and beauli.
fully less"
Time will soon show-ihe election is now bu,
four months off--whe'her the whig leaders have
acted wisely or not in making the contest a sec
tional instead of a national one. We shall look
TO the result with great interest, bu, with an as
snred confidence that the democrats will triumph

A WING PREDICTION.

! The New York Courier and Euqnirer, whilst
/ the Wing National Convention was in the midst
| Of iis labors, uttered the following prediction.
"lf the wings nominate anybody but Daniel
Webster in opposition, Pierce will carry the
whole conservative vote of the country"
And further on. in allus on to the letter Of Gen.
oral Pierce 10 Major Lay:
"lhis Is manly and true and aga Inst ono
who hoIds such language no half and half meas.
urcs prevail. Even II General Scott were nop
10 write Just such letter, II would bo OF no avail.
! The whis nominee must be the man whose posi-
ZION Of no quesilon--whose life constitutes the
most practical whig platform"
IN another article In the same paper, tho
Courier and Enquirer, with more emphasis, says:
"Against Scott. Pierce would curry every cas-,
tern State, and probably New York and Penn.
sylvania while every southern State, without
an exception, would vote against him. or any
other candidate who Is not avowedly the friend
OF the compromise measures We care not
wha, their delegates in convention may say or
dove know beyond all persdventure thai tho
southern vote is los, to tho gallant old chic iain.
Even letter st this late day piedging himself
10 sustain the Compromise. would not avail him,
while il would most assuredly greatly damage
him with those who have entered into his sup-
por on the avowed ground thai hs is not com
miiied 10 the compromise, hui is pledged agojna
the exercise Of the vote power"
And again. In the same paper, Ia reply 10 the
Tdlune, which denounced Gen. Pierce, In its
usual cnarse language. because he had ever been
a consistent and firm opponent Of free .soil sec.
tionalism in all iis phases, and ardent supper.
ter Of the Compromise, the Courier and Eoquir.
er said;
"This is strictly true; and because il 10 true,
and because the Democratic National Conyen.
tion has clearly. frankly. and rmphsiically en-.
dorsed the compronise measures. the whig par
~ will inevitably be defeated if Il places 10 ON.
ioation for the presidency Gen. Scott, or any
other candidate who is not very decidedly com.
miIted to that great constitutional adjustment, of
the agiialions of 1850"
II wil be curious 10 see how tho Courier and
Enquirer will be able 10 reconcile the support
which we presume il will accord to the "esllan,
Did ebiehain." with these predictions and avow.
