HE WING PLATFORM, AND THE NOMINATIONS
UPON IT

We find that it will be impossible for us to carry
out intention Of publishing all the evidences of
Wing sentiment in regard to the results of the late
Wing National Convention. The expressions Of
public opinion through the medium Of the Press and
Ratification Meetings which have already reached
US would more than fill fifty columns Of this paper
and will be swelled by the current Of such express
sions, before it has ceased flowing, to perhaps FIVE
hundred columns. The scanty selection that we
could make from such mass of material would
rather disparage than truly represent the volume
and force Of the general determination Of the Wing
Party of the Union to stand by the authentic Plat
form Of its principles, and by the simultaneous
nomination Of WINFIELD SooTT and WILLIAM A.
GRAHAM for the first and second Offices in the
gift Of the People
The acquiescence of the Wings of the Union in
the nomination Of General ScoTT for the Presidency
is so general, and with SO much less of abatement
by reason Of prejudice and disappointment Of cherish
ed preferences, that it may be said to be almost
universal.
There are, indeed exceptions to this oneness of
expression, but they are few and chiefly confined,
from the beginning, to certain points Savannah,
Augusta, and Macon) in GEORGIA single journal
in NORTH CAROLINA, (the Wilmington " CONNER
cial =" leading journal in New YORK, (he Courier
and Enquirer j and the Boston Daily Advertiser,
the Courier, and Journal, in MASSACHUSETTS
The partial dissent to the nomination in GEORGIA
was not wholly unexpected, and may, perhaps, be
set down as sufficiently serious to the loss of
the electoral vote Of that State to the Wings. We
regret this of course but the loss of that State will
of itself not defeat the success of the Wing ticket of
the Union unless its lead should be followed (Which
We believe it will not be by concurrent hostility to
he ticket in other States. NORTH CAROLINA,
our readers may be assured, is as safe for the Wing
Phtform and the Wing candidates Gncluding their
owf GRAHAM, to whom no exception seems to be
taken) as any State Of the Union. The Wings OF
New YORK (the Courier included) will in the end
present united front, and give the vote of the State
to ScoTT and GRAHAM. How cordially the Wings
of that State, whose original preference was for
other candidates, have gone in for the nomination,
will be seen by the article from the Albany State
Register which we annex. Andas for MAssAoHu-
sErTs and our highly respected contemporaries in
Boston, we have gratifying evidence, in the brief
extract, also annexed, from the Boston Daily Ad-
vertiser that the Press of that city is already /" in
line;" in which position, we doubt not, in view of
the sentiments of that distinguished Wing, Ex-Gov-
ernor LINCOLN, subjoined, we shall at the proper
time find the whole body of the Whig party of the
State.
. Upon aview of the whole ground we see no reason
to doubt that the Wing candidates, with the Wing
Platform, will be triumphantly sustained by the
body of the Union Wings, constituting majority
Of the People of the United States.
