has resulted favoraby to them, while not CLEAN OF
comfort has been afforded to the wings whose position
s as desperate that held by great political
ganzaton-not a single occurrence since the nomina-
ton OF General Scott and General Pierce but has been
favorable to the democracy, and unfavoabe in most
decided manner to the wings The former have been
steadily uniting their forces, and stand before the
country in the attitude oil consolidated party determined
upon that success which the prize OF the bold the
daring and The energetic, well in the conflicts of poll

Fillmore looks codly upon party whose victory would
