lie was rather of the opinion that majority of the
party were alive-that their ships had been crushed
in the ice, and that they were among the Esqui-
maux, or perhaps wandering but not lost, and that
portion Of the party would yet be found alive.

WILLIAM T. MooRE, Secretary.
From the Troy Nv. Y Daily Whig, March {


The time has arrived when it becomes the duty
ot Wings to speak plainly to each other, and to un
derstand precisely the state Of affairs in relation to
the prospects OF our party at the coming Presiden
tal election. 1t may be that the Wings cannot
elect their candidate, be he who he may; but it is
absolutely certain that, regards Mr. Webster,
mr. Fillmore, and General Scott, Mr.. Webster is
the only one who can be elected under any contin-
sency which may arise Courier and Enquirer.
We arc sorry to journal occupying an in
Huentlal position adopt course reprehensble in
order to secure support for any candidate to the
Whig nomination. party that acts upon the
principle that sail is fair in politics." may with
some show of propriety resort to such system of
tactics, but it does not become Wings to do So,
unless they are willing to openly acknowledge at
the same time that their motives and principles
might be justly measured by the same standard
of political morality. The fact that particular
journals and politicians attempting to defeat
particular candidates for the Presidential nomi-
nation, by decrying their popularity, need not,
however, excite surprise. The success which
attended similar etforts-frst at Harrisburg in
in 1882 and then at Philadelphia eight years later
ought to have prepared US to anticipate il,
matter OF course, now. The expedient has result
ed once, twice, to the satisfaction of those who
ployed it, but the third attempt ,ptH faiI-it will
act to the detriment of the man or men whose in
forests it is intended TO promote. In saying this
concede all that the Courier claims for Mr..
Webster's ability and craftsmanship. Our admi-
ration of Mr.. Webster is sincere, at least, as
the Courisr's Should he receive the nomination of
the Wing National Convention, he will have our
ardent support; but we are not willing that such
disingenuous reasoning as the Courier's should be
made the basis of his nomination, or that of any
other Wing statesman.
IL.
or either Mr.. Webster, Mr. Fillmore, or General
Scott, would be cordially supported by the Wing
party in this State, well throughout the
Union; that either of them can be elected; and that
the election of either would be an honor to the
country.

bella BADoER.-We regret TO record the death
Of this gentleman, which occurred Saturday
last. MIR b., for many years, was most active
and distinguished citizen of Philadelphia, taking
large interest in all that concerned her prosperity
and contributing TO all that he believed would pro-
mote her interests. As Wing politician he was
especially prominent; and he labored most ear
neatly to advance the success of those principles
which he believed to be identical with the welfare
of his country. His extraordinary energy both Of
purpose and conduct made him prominent while
health was vouchsafed to him; and in all probability
fastened the termination of a life full of activity
and bustle.- Phila North American Of yesterday.

ANoTHER FAcT.--Last week we recorded the fact
that sturdy old Democrat had asserted, in our
presence that he would vote for MfLLARD FILLMORE
IN preference TO any Democrat that could be
brought out Since then one of the leading Demo-
Gratis of this county, in conversation with us
made this emphatic declaration: "FOr the last year
my mind has been made up 10 vofe for Mr.. Fillmore "
These iacts indicate, in our opinion, the existence
of a very general sentiment throughout the State.
