no truth in signs.
Greeley of the Tribune says, speaking OF the
city nominations, that
GA large proportion-probablya full halt-oi
our citizens were supporters of Mr. Fillmore re-
To these not single. City nomlna-
ton has been accorded"
Read that declaration-not to one friend Of Mr.
Fillmore, single city nomination accorded.
But here is the article from the Day Book
The City Nominations -WOOIly- VS.. Sill
Ver-GrayS.
The following are the nominations made during
the week by the wing party, alias the abolition
Scott party:
For Mayor-Morgan Morgans, Seventh ward
a Grinnel Webster Scott man.
For Governor of Aims House-W ashington
Smith. Sixteenth ward-woolly head.
For Sheria-James Kelly, Second ward-wool-
For County Uierk-George W. Riblet, Elev-
enth ward--wooy -head.
For ControlIer-Joseph R. Taylor, Sixteenth
ward--(no opposing candidate in convention.)
For City Inspector Charles Riddle, Sixteenth
ward-woolly strong.
For Street Commssioner-Jon J. Doane, Nine
teenth ward--woolly head strong.
There gentlemen, look at that, and see how
you like the p: ogress of Sewardism When these
higher-law gentry succeeded at Baltimore in NOM
mating Gen. Scott, were censured for not ''fal-
ling in and supporting the nomination. Our
silver gray friends pointed to the platform, and
said, sDon't you see we have notion0lized the
wing patty We ave made these woody heads
come IN and take orr position" Yes was our
reply" you have made them in with ven
geance They have got all they wanted-they
have kicked your candidates out Of doors, and spit
upon your platform and the next we shall know
they will spit ON YOU Haven't they done SO p
Look over the list, and see where the silver grays
are. Nowhere-gone, spit upon, and rubbed out.
Right here, in this. Union city--here, where the
! Compromise measures were universally approved,
where the fugitive slave law sustained in the
height of excitement--here, where every delegate
but one to the national convention a silver
gray-here, here. in the city of New York, Sew
ardismis triumphant, the higher-law doctrine pre-
walls, and not asngle why politician or whig press
raises voice IN opposition. When the Fillmore
or L Rion men gave in to SCOTS nominaton--wh
they sold themselves, as they did through THEN
agents. Bolts, Jones d. Co--they gave themselves
up, abandoned their principles, and declared them
selves defunet community. The woolly -heads
take them by the nap of the neck, andchoke them
till they open their mouths, then they thrust down
their throats the very bitterest pills they have in
their box--sueh as James Bowen, Jim Kelly Joe
Hoxe, DC.
What surprises us most of all is to see the Ex-
: press gulph down everything and everybody the
woolly heads hold up We had thought that the
Express was governed bysonae principle, and would
! not be wheelled into-eyery Scheme or movement
that was made to disgrace it and destroy its infi1
/ ence. But We were mistaken. It goes the party
andsas long as the party will ave:its editor office
so long will it support its nominations. just think
of Che New York Expfess-the same paper, con.
ducsed by the same men, that in 1850 supported
so stronglythe fugitive slave law--now supporting
for Congress; Jim Bowen, and high for sheriff O
i New York James Kelly just think OF it W.
are surprlsed-we can hardly believe what we arr
writing-and the Express says it dosen't minC
about men, it goes for principles. Principles =
What principle but that. which, seeks the loave,
and fishes caninduce a FILLMORE conservative sii
yer gray wing to support .sliehsa rank, mean. dis
gusting woolly head as James Bowen 3 Why, a
this rate, and with these principles, these princ
pies, the Express can step right square into th,
q abolition party. AID support Seward and Free
Douglas, We shall not be surprised tosee it d.
so, in $50 and thencoolly~ tell US that it goes fol
principles notmen.
i The Day Book has word to say toitsreaders
: We have fought earnestly and faithfully agains
' these Sewardlts and their higher law doctrines
and we-sha continue to do so. We believe tina
if they succeed in getting possession Of the govern
ment and in putting their principles into practice
4 this Union is dissolved-and we are not alone il
this belief 1t Is the conviction Of the wisest anC
best men in the country. Mr.. Webster himself i
fully impressed with it-and it is because he think
SO, and thinks the whig party.is merging toward
= this doctrine, that hels silent on the nomination
\ GU mayvote as you choose-you are all at liber
ty to do as you think best-but as for us, we vii
$ never support, for any Office whatever, any MAJ
e who aims at the elevation of the author of thi
e higher law doctrine. Any may who we have rea
son to believe will so shape his conduct and his DO
Iteal movements as to give preponderance to VIM
: H. Stewards sentiments, never can have our sup
, port. We believe that his higher law doctrin,
and his abolition principles, if once in the ascendan
cy, so as to enable him to control the government
would surely dissolve this Union as the sun is t.
= rise. We feel tive know it. We have beer
told it, over and over again, in nearly every Stat
: south of Mason's and Dxion's line, and we can
not believe or think otherwise. So believing AM
SO thinking, we cannot assist in any way II
bringing about such dire results Voting for me,
I who are friends of Seward--who work for him
and believe in him-is advancing him it is doin.
J. something directly for him, and helping to brin,
about his nomination in 1856 Do you wish to d
this, reader ? Ifso, go to the polls, next Novem
Der, and vote for James Bowen and Gen. Scott
