il those who lead and drive the Wing party will onyN
the trouble 10 understand t. That there many thoaz
Wings in the State who viii not be Abolitionzed sni
bolt the doings of Conventions whenever their Judges
tells them TO- is undeniaby true. A good many haua
GuCstion0bly voted part or the whole Of the Hard
ticket al this election aud will DO the like again un efa
circumstances while, perhaYs, greater number havts

what The Tribune, with all its protested love OF indeq4

knowing parer and il may be quite right in what fa
concerning Wings in the late election but we think
prone TO look 20 the ledge Of things for cracks
10 conclude that the small ones found there are TIC q

nearer the center.

marks that he who desires to prove that the Wig N
have still healthy vitality, must offer further eyidsa
than inGt afforded by our recent election
"Rut, according 10 The Tribune, Silver Grays We
found all over the State arrayed against the Wing So
ticket We should not wonder If this was the case n
ticket and the Convention that nominated it, having d
viousy been arrayed against the Silver Grays, il soc
probable that here and there they arraycd Themselves
the attitude of self defense. IL quite natural Slw
Grays believe in what they profess and generayqa
inclined TO act up 10 their professions and there Is n0bx
strange but at least the virtue of consistency nfhe n
that they have done so in the recent contest Now wa
docs ThS IYIHxe or any body else propose TO do aba
it The cry Of boilers treason, &c, has no terra
now People have come TO vote pretty much as squss
with their Judgment and conscience. More than one hs
Of all who voted on Tuesday last acted on this prncp
In utier disregard Of Conventions regularity They

We must begin by setting Tie Wing right as to fac1
Tie Tribune does not complain of any course Of m
ton which any class or body Of electors may see hh
take openly and aboyeboard with regard TO an eecn
IL recognizes not the right merely, but the duIyd
every voter following hsown conscientious cOnyictioA
so far from condemning the Silver Grays, then, for'e
ting the Hard ticket if they saw fit, we merely ae
the fact and we now add that their voting accOrdnn
their convictions Las our fullest appreciation.
But while we heartily approve open, fearless CO..
scientious boiling, heartily detest stabbng in tn
dark. If the Silver Grays thought the public iner's
ddates they ought not merely to have voted for thea
but to have openly declared in their favor we ioum
on The Wing ticket the name of one man Mr. KrkpfF
rick whom thought poorly qualified for the most re
sponsble and difficult post he nominated for, and
said so emphacally, giving fair notice that we shOdS
not vote for him We did not believe the public ints
,st would be promoted by the election of Ersaa
Brooks TO the Senate, openly advised our reid'H
20 vote for a rival candidate We stab no man IN ~
back. and we despise whoever does.
We admired the attitude of the Hards in the lag
contest. and rendered them aid and comfort acc9
iingly Their bolt was a frank manly, gallant,or
md so far deserved the success ii achieved Had ~
silver Grays done likewise, they would have elal'a
themselves in the public estimation, whether they u
'ole only ten thousand votes or ten times that nHs
er Bu. While they cling to the skirts of party AS
constantly labor TO defeat, yet dare not openly oppos
'ickiug up crumb of office Lere aud there and ste'a
