THE WING CANDIDATES.

Presidency. The ultras Of the South are anx-
ious that he should come out and say something
new and positive with regard to the Compro-
mise, the Fugitive Slave Law, &c. The Com
mttee who have Scott in Keeping, are entirely
too smart for them though; and the result is that
the WhfCs IRE little divided now. Some Of
the fre-eaters of tho South threaten to go off and
do mischief unless the party and Scott come out
openly and declare the Com promise measures,
as they are called, finality" on that subject.
But this is like all the conduct of these South
erners; it is in the blood and will not die out
Soon, however, if they are let alone, they will
come sneaking back into " meeting, and go the
whole "critter" for Scott. Perhaps they wish
to make the North bite irmer at the hook and
this is designed as kind of ruse to keep the
halfproviso Wings of the North from deserving
Scott, while they themselves are well aware, and
satisfied of his position, as far they are con-
oerned, and by and by they will let it be known
or else it may be designed to draw off atten-
ton from jones, that all this fuss is about like
an old bird, which, wishing to protect her young,
lmps and flies with q pretended broken wing
that her young may the better escape, and her
nest be unobseryed. So these hotspuYs think if
they can find some pretence against Scott, be-
cause he does not come out afresh for the Com
promise, they will divert attention from James
G. Jones, of Tennessee, who is TO be their can-
didate for the Vice Presidency. For in case of
another Harrison, or Taylor accident and the
hero of "hasty soup" should slip his wind, they
will know in whom they have trusted for Vice
President. This Jones not beirg under the care
of keepers, (and the public attention being all
centerod upon ScotD is perambuIating the coun-
try making all kinds Of furious speeches in favor
OF slavery and disunion, and hanging traitors,
&c, &c, mixing up religion with damnation
and resurrection.
Below we give an extract from speech of his
made at Clay Festival recently held in New
York city. 1t remains to be seen how many
free soil Wings are TO be cheated into voting for
him because he is on the ticket with man who

ais it not strange my countrymen--I had like
10 say my friends--that members of the same
great family, having an identity of interest, a
community of feeling and sentiment, and who
are bound to the same destiny, would cherish
such miserable, such low, such humating and
reigously speaking, Glowing to the Rev. Mr..
Chapin,) such damnablc prejudice as sectional
animosities, [graat applause and appreciation,
that we cannot live together tremendously and
rs members of the Same family without discord?
What have you to gain by quarreling with me
What have to gain by quarreling with you p
Your interest Is my interest, my interest is your
interest, and you can no more exist as q free,
prosperous, happy, heAvenbest people, without
us, than can we without you. Enthusiastic
applause We can no more exist in prosperi-
~ without you than you can without us. Now,
| hope you will write that down, my friends, and
send it to every Southern paper in the Union.

thunder Of the last resurrection uself ,rOuld not

have some Democratic friends here whom wo'd
take TO my heart with the most cordial zeal par
ticularly since they are Clay Democrats. | will
not say syllable about politics; bnt have felt
it my duty to say this much in behalf of my

| do not care whether the man halls from the
North or South, if he is false to the Union, he is
n traitor, and deserves traitors doom and the
highest pride would feel in this world, next to
be President, would be to be the hangman of
such traitors. Loud cheering
