The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1852-06-13

recent showing OF the Albany Evening Journal was
then thought to lean lille far ab0li:ignpard 10 suit
such ludcious friends as Thurow Weed In addition
to this before supporting General Taylor the aboop,st
wings laid their plans control him. aud did control his
administration in lis policy on the sectional issues ana
did OuSt the nationals from the appointments And
after all was said and done they organized bolt against
him which cut down every hope he had ia Ohio, and
nearly slew him in Massachusetts,, where the whys
thought his nomination not tit to be made p Such was
the result OF the whg effort to nationalist in the move
meni for General Taylor, when the cheat and the no
pledges" and the mo party" and Buena Vista 10 boot
were allihrown 10 10 help them. Surely il is result
which gives hope Tor the success OF another eyoet
ment OF naturalization among The northern wings Mr.
Washburn, of Maine, spoke the truth when he said on
the floor OF the House. and in behalf of all the northern
wings around him. that the whg party could not carry
single northern State" for any candidate on the plat
form Of the Compromise; and the wings around were
quite right and prudent when they let his speech 20 out
10 the country without word OF contradiction or dis
ssent
| And now, what remains! No southern man pretenls
that the wing party can carry single southern State,
unless the party adopt thai same fnaiy platform aud
candidate 10 represent it, unequvocay and in good faith
in its whole extent In such pedcameni, how Keep IN
being the whis party as national party, How get
through the canvass, and defeated out of the can
vass with any national wing party at alls Plainly
enough, on this showing, the wings OF the North or
the wings Of the South go into hopeless minority in
every State of their respective sectons-save perhaps
Vermont, Which section of The party shall make the
sacrifice Both now making very wry faces at tie
prospect
Two eypedens have OF late been suggested get the
wings out of this dilemma The first is the nomination
Of Mr. Websier-!he second is the nomination OF some
new man; and MIR Criitcnden Mr. Bell and Mr., Pearcc
OF Maryland, mentioned, we learn, in this connection
But this presupposes that the Scott force in the conyen
ton be overcome-whch is by no means certain and
then il pre-suqposes that the wings willing open
the with the purpose of being defeated For
suppose pretends that the wing vote alone at this
time possibly elect President, and no one claims
that either of these nominations could by possibility OBJ
tain any votes anywhere except the regular vote of the
wing party.
So the wing party appears TO have before il a single
alternative. 1t may, the pne hand, 60 into what it
may national canvass for somebody, with the GER
taniy OF being defeated, and with the hope Of conving
10 proong pindling existence national party after
wards it may 60 into sectional for General
Scott, with equal certainty Of being defeated now,
and the prospect of remaining afterwards fierce, and in
some States perhaps potent, sectional organization.
1t is discouraging enough outlook for the future, and
seems to show plainly enough that the of whggery
and Galphinism has gone by.
