Tn our issue of Sunday we called the ateeht'on
of the Republic to the fact thai the e tan
resolution at the head OF its coLnnlts mao "a
voted down nearly three to one oy, Iii0 "i"S ~
the House, then ruled out OF the wing 49, and
d;sorderIv thing, and finally denounced anu
i.,,ahoI down on the floor of the House by en''-
,,ont members of &" the wing party as conSPieu-
ons f,,udn We also brought to the hePuollI
notice the attitude of such leading journals as tlie
Nashville Banner in nominating Mr. Fllmore WIFI
ont reference to the sanction OF any wing Soh' Gu
t;on and we injured whether this was the posi-
t;on Of tho Rennblc, and whether it intended to
abandon the wing organization or the Jtl1osS ..f
platform, that the support OF 0ot~ oy any wing
journal is proved to be impossible. ,,r
The Republic makes no direct response " ou
inquiry. But in its leading editorial column II
gives the following article, which may VIC PIeSuiil
be taken as an answer plain enough lo[ 'li Pl|'oi

"The Recorder can see not the shadow OF an
objection to this procedure which it regards as
calculated to perpetuate the existence and promote
the objects of the Union party"
The appearance of this article at this time, anu
under these circumstances, in the special organ OF
President Fillmore, noting the independent rlIl-
more movement among the wings of Georgia, with
out word of censure or dissent, must undoubtedly
till the contrary appears, be taken as evidence that
such action against the wing organization, as no"
controlled is not dscountenanced by the wing En-
ecutive
To show how far this spirit at the wing head
quarters is countenauced and sustained by the wings
ofthe South, we copy the following remarks OF the
Petersburg Intelligencer, we find them adopted
$1,000
editorial
"GEN. Scorrs POSITION. Time (says the Pc
tersburg Intelligencer) is wearing away, and the
dav for the assembIage of the Wing National Con-
vention is but little more than a month distant
Gen. SCOTS position, or rather want OF position,
continues the same, and we suppose Will continue
the same until the nomination is made. In such
an event, it becomes the southern wings to reflect
upon what should be their course in the National
Convention. Upon this subject different opinions
are held. Some think that the true policy OF the
southern wings is not to go into the convention at
ALL while others think the proper course would be
to attend the convention, and demand that, before
the baloting is gone into platform shall be lad
down. and that in the that this is refused, or
that platform, not containing the compromise, Is
laid down, to acithd,aaU in body from tie conVen-
ton. Our oaCn opinion IS that the latter is deci
dedLy the best course
In the same spirit the Richmond Republican of
the goth instant publishes leading editorial article,
with full appreciation, averring it to be written by
one of the ablest men of Virginia" and one of
the oldest and firmest wings of the Union"
After denouncing the Scott movement as plainly
in the hands of the Sewardites," the article pro-
ceeds as follows:
st IS far more probable, therefore, that Mr..
Fillmore's friends aOo,ld stand aIoof than General
SCOTS. They would be obliged by consistency, by
efrsspect, to do So whilst there would be such
obligation on the friends Of General Scott.
Looking, then, to the argument of the Seward
press to prove General SCOTS superior availability
to Mr. Fillmore, is found that proves directly the
reverse.
at is conceded on all hands that General Scott
cannot carry any of the southern States. Mr.. Clay
has said, without reserve, that he cannot carry
Kentucky. The Tennessee, and North Carolina
and Georgia men say the same of their States re-
spectivey, Where, then, is he to get his support
Not from New York, unless Fillmores friends cor
daily sustain him, which they Will not do; not
from Ohio, Indiana Illinois, for they are ire
deemably democratic; not from New England,
because the States which have expressed preference
for General Scott are hopelessly locofoco whilst the
wing States are for Webster first and Fillmore
next; not from Pennsylvania, for if you withdraw
the conservative force the Seward and Johnston
segment of the whig party is but lean minority
Where, then, is his strength? Where IS the single

We close this array of citations from leading
wing journals by the following editorial article
which we copy from the New Orleans Bee of the
18th inst. That journal says truly of it that it
contains home truths: /
"GEN. ScoTr. The rumor has prevailed for sew
era days that Gen. Scott intends writing letter q
for the purpose of explaining his views upon the
Compromise and that he will take strong ground V
in favor of that measure. We know not whence
this report originated or whether it be not the pure
