Ii is proper observe, however, that the Regis in
the same Sheet accompanies this with long
leading article which, if understand il, advises The
wings when their convention meets TO be careful not
nominate Fillmore whig nor yet Seward whiE, but
10 take for each office IF they can get hm) an honest
and capable man who is not identified with either OF the
wing sections.
Here is the language OF the Register this point and
cannot but regard il confession that it deems
the discussions between the two wings Of its party
altogether irreconcilable:
"If the whis party would preserve its integrity II il,
would tho ground has lost by too careless seiec

We had supposed. aud we had good whg authority for
surprising, that the two factions-ihc Fillmore men
and the Seward men, the silver grays and the woolies
comprised between them The great mass OF the wing
party OF New York. We now learn from the Register
that besides these two sections and quite outside OF
Them. there is ressiwum among the wing leaders
of mea of known integrity and high character, who
may be relied upon first TO get the Offices by demo.

graihed TO make their acquaintance, or at least to
learn their Their light has been hid under a
bushel guile long Is possible that the wing voters
of the State have known them all this while, and yet
kept the secret so faithfully and Tor such length Of
time !
Seriously speaking, cannot but regard the languag
OF the Register open and unhesilang confession
that the whg party in New York is hopclessly dssni,ed
and disoganised and that union in its ranks 10 Tor the
present an I'D n,led impossiby. This only explain
the fact that the Register frankly Acknowledges that
its main reliance in the coming State 10 upon
that "chap,er of accidents" which is the great wing
source in time OF need The Register relies FIRST upon the
accident that convention consisting Of Seward men and
Fillmore men will place in nomination candidates who
belong neither OF those factions then upon the fur

accdv OF ALL that these whg candidates shall be elected
by democratic votes This is but squaly programme or

But this is not all the light which have 10 the
