We alluded to the efforts OF the whig committee in this

might understand the tactics OF the wings by contem-
plating specimen Of the tricks and satagems TO which
they resort in order TO obtain by arfce and cunning what
they never could win by direc, and open appeal.
The secret circular opens with an assurance, made
with the utmost possible confidence" that New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio would vote for General Scott.
The New York committee had no better means OF udg
ing OF the in which these States would cast their
votes than The good people of North Carolina, and the

cunning phraseology which is employed. The circular
thus beginning with deception, is filed with untrue aver
ments. There no such deecons from the democratic
ranks accessions the whg ranks. as mentions
The attempt TO win the confidence OF naturaized ct-
zens is based on false preences for Gen. Scot, would
amend the laws TO give OF them the right 10 vote
without serving year in the army or navy. The pro-
fession OF nationality is mere preence for il is known

the whg party OF New York; that il opposed the Com
promise that II opposed 10 the whig platform al the
Baltimore Convention, and that il has repudated il since

Gen. Scott. The manner in which Mr. Fillmore is
spoken Of and the thanks which are rendered the wings
OF North Carolina for the signal devotion with which
they have vindicaed bis conduct, is insult TO the in
elgence OF North Carolina, expressed in the most
emptuous manner. The existing whig organization, on
