ton of the universal whig party but
their antigregarious notions appear to indi-
cate that the whole herd will be scattered
before they can resolve on holding Nation
al Convention. They are mixed up in a
most lamentable manner, and we are appre-
hcnsive that no panacea can be concocted !
to moderate the chiyalric feelings of the
southern wing of the party, or remove the
ascidity that rests on the stomach of that
Of the north.
The whig organ oflhe north have declared
in favor of formi ng Northern Wing Par
ty.' They are disgusted with the insolence
of their southern allies, and they now want
to set up for themselves, and force southern
whiggery to come to the notions Of Seward,
Scott d Co. The south don't like this ar
rangemcnt, or the dictatOrial tone in which
they are addressed by the wings of the
north, but there are some of the organs of
all the chivalry willing to go it blind for
Scott, the favorite of the abolitionists. The
Richmond Wing says:
we will frankly confess that we don't
care who votes fol our candidate when nom
mated We want all the votes we can get
the more the better
Aglin;
'As to General Scott, we have more con-
fidence in his position his conservative
impregnabe position-than we could have
in ten thousand pledges
This sounds very much like their decla-
ration in 1910, that they would support
their candidates without why or where
FORE The Wing has always been under
: stood to be Fillmore paper, but at present
it is willing to be agreeable to any whig who
can get votes, without any consideration as
to his competency.
Blu! we are apprehensive that it will be
difficult to cram the without why or
wherefore policy down the political gullets
= ofthe Southern wings.
S The Petersburg Intelligcncer says:
Nothing less than distinct public pledge
. to support and enforce the compromise law,
;. and to resist the doctrine of Intervention,
p can secure our support, and we believe We
may, with great truth, say the support o.
the wings of the South.
