There arc two classes Of Wing journals in ihi,
State, which, in our humble opinion, are pursuing
suicidal coursc-a course alike foolish and repre-
hensible. Those which advocate the claims Of Cen
cra ScoTT assert. in an offensive manner, that

We arc assured, that the mass Of tho Wing party

The Courier and Enquirer must be ignorant of
passing events in other parts OF tho State than tho
metropolis, if il suproses. il asscrts "that this
hostility to him (Mr Fillmorc) docs not grow out

This IS the very basis Of the hostility, and we can
scarcely open newspaper Of peculiar stripe but
VIC see it prominently set forth and enforced ms the
reason Why be cannot carry toe State. We are
surprised that the Courier and Epg,irer should
have made such an assertion, in TIC face Of con-
stnnty occurring facts-in the ioco Of the every
day course Of the abolition press Of the Wing party.
