NIGHT Drafts on New.York for sale by
s2s'od A. SIMPSON 4 &C.
Daily American telegraph., 1852-05-07

SO far as we have seen the expression of opin-
ion, every Wing paper in Kentucky has spoken
in decided terms of condemnation Of the course
of Mr. Marshall and those who followed his lead
IN Withdrawing from the late Wing caucus.
Louisville Courier.
We are sorry to sec that any difference of opn-
ion existed among the members on any question.
A proposition in reference to the Compromise
measures was decided out of order. We concur
in that opinion, though as warmly in favor of
those measures any else can be. Tho
members of Congress have nothing to do with
the construction Of n political platform for the
Wing MaysUiIle. Eagle.
There seems to be no difference of opinion
among the Wing press of this State as to the
conduct of the seceders from the Wing caucus
Louisville Courier
II The chairman did right, and Mr..
Marshall wrong. The caucus had no power or
authority for fixing up platform to make the
ensuing Presidential campaign upon. That work
belongs exclusively to the National Convention,
and Mr. Marshall and his colaborers, in pro-
ducing discussions and divisions in the Wing
ranks will find their course, and themselves
too, repudiated by the Wing masses, if they do
not keep look out to windward
We have sufficient confidence in the
honesty and patriotism of those who will COM
pose the convention to Delleve that they Will pre-
sent a ticket every way worthy and acceptable to
the party for their support and, with proper
union and concert in the ranks Of our party, we
honestly believe their work will be ratified by the
people in the triumphant election Of the Wing
Presidential ticket.-Russeltuale Herald
Several Wings acted most outrageously,. and
for so doing deserve the contempt of all good and
true Wings. Among the number who acted quite
rmprudently and rashly was Hon. Humphrey
Marshall, of this State whose course we cannot
endorse We think, in attempting to
promulge platform the Congressional caucus
over reached its authority, and most certainly
acted indiscreetly. \ We feel an abid-
ing confidence that the men who have been Sc
lected as delegates will issue platform upon
which every good and true Wing of this nation
will feel proud to stand
Richmond Weekly Messenger.
The caucus refused to adopt platform for the
convention, and in SO doing showed sensible
appreciation of good policy and of its own duties
n Hon. Humphrey Marshall, in calling
upon the caucus to cut and dry platform fol-
the convention, simply made himself ridiculous
1t is difficult to conceive how a of his sense
can cling TO such foolish position, unless he be
hard run for some outlet for his spleen agains
General Scott, because the latter refused to re
commend him for cabinet appointment Hum.
phrey is kicking against the pricks," however
