WEaig Party Annilliinsed.


The New York Tribune says, stte ahig pzrty
is no, only discomfted, but ANsIHILATED." Mr..
Greedy further says, .'we do not see how the
Wing party, as such, can ever be rallied again."
This is a candid ard intelligent view of the SUBJ
iect, one which every must admit to be true
who will look at facts they exist. However re-
luciant mon may be TO come to this conclusion,
come to it they must.
The same elements of dscord, existing in the
Wing party, which have contributed to the over
wheming defeat of Gen. Scott, exist still in the
parry. in full force and will continue to exist, as
the following article from the New York Tribune
fully discloses.
We have the evidence which leads US to be-
Iieve, that thousands and tens Of thousands IF the
so called .Sswardltes," are prepared and prepar-
ing hencsforth to cast in their lot with the Free
Democracy.
The following article from the New York Tri-
bune, in which the annihiiation of the Wing purity
is frankly and candidy admitted. will attract at
tention.
From the Men York Tribune.
Sewarilism.
Whoever shall write the history of the late po-
litical contest will have to record the disastrous
failure of attempt to enforce upon the whig
party outward uniformity of opinion and action
with regard to human slavery. For this uniformi-
ty there foundation either in fact or traditions
our northern and southern people nave always re-
garded slavery with very different eyes, and, SO
long as it shall exist among Us, probably always
will. In national convention, in no congression-
al CAUCUS, in no assembage claiming to speak in
behalf of the wings of the whole Union, was there
ever assumption of power to create or declare
uniformity this subject prior to this present
1852. Messrs. 'Toombs and Stephens did indeed
attempt force such declaration in the congress
onal caucus of December, 1s49. but their repulse
was signal and conclusive, leaving them only the
old resort of defeating the party they could not con-
troll. The second attempt of the kind was made
by the opponents of Gen. Scotts nomination in the
last Baltimore Convention-wi what success has
been told in the succeeding and its result.
i Another extraordinary feature of the late can.
vass, was the virtual combination of the megnates
and usual managers of both great parties, power
fully aided. though not with such evident malice
prepense, by those of the third party, hunt down
and crush a single individual, and he no candidate
for Office, and nowse connected with the dispensa-
tion of spois. Governor Seward not only holds nc
post of power or influence under the present ad-
ministraon, but he stood expressly pledged to re.
fuse any under the next, had General Scott been
chosen. No matter what might have been the
result of the recent contest he would have re.
manned what he now is, and for three years mus,
continue to be-a Senator from the State of New
/ York. AND yet against him have the batteries o.

;. Well, the conspiracy of aristocrat with jacobin
slave trader with agrarian, Pearl street with the
Five Points, has been crowned with unmeasuret
success. General Scott is overwhelmingly de-
eated and the whig party not merely disc mfeited
but annhated. We have no prophetic ken, anc
make no pretensions to reading the future but we
do not see how the whig patty, as such, can eve
