More WING Harmony.

We continue quotations from leading wing jour
nails in regard to the action OF the Wing Convention,
deemng that such records will at least be useful for ref
eence hereafter The following is the last word on the
subject from the Petersburg Intelgencer;
"THE Vine NArIosAL CoNvENrros.-The Washington

In reference TO the Integencers closing declaration,
that the wing party will not go to the aboioniss and free

attention OF that journal 10 the following passage which
we find in the columns Of lis feow-laborer, the Albany

very good wing authority that, in taking up Gen. Scott

the wing convention:
