Action Of the Wing Committee, &,

Correspondence OF The n Y. TrbuDe
Providence Tuesday, March q, 1853
There will be no Whig ticket for State Of
6cers at the next Election The Committee appointed
by the Wing State Convention make the nomination
held their last meeting yesterday and have given up
all hopes Of persuading any prominent men in the
Wing party TO accept the nomination. The cause OF
this bsckwsrdness in coming forward, on the part OF
our first class political Is, that the office OF Gov
ernor Of this State is not worth the money 1t would
cost TO obtain IT, Added to this the events efthe past
two years dhe election of James to the SENATE, and
other matters politically have distracted the leaders
of the party, that no two of them seem 10 work to-
cether well but rather like team of baulky waste
their strength 10 pulling against each other than by
union of power to the load they have to carry
The jealousy among the leading men is not without its
effect upon those who do the voting much in the way
that when the head is dizzy, the legs are unsteady
and general indifference the result of the pending
Election seems TO have crept the entire party 1t
is TO be trusted that the present apparent apathy will
pass away before the day Of voting and that If there
is no struggle for the State Officers the Importance of
securing the Legislature will not be overlooked The
Wing majority shows better condition of the party
than at the last Election and the Wings have the
power 70 secure good majority in the Assembly
they had last year, and II hardly be possible that
psss The general impression Ia that the abandonment
of the State Ticket will enable the Wings 20 work
more ctcctualiy upon the Representative Ticket and
thereby secure the Assembly
AZ mentioned in former communication, me free
Sellers hold the balance Of power In this city and IN the
Election Districts Never the integrity OF party
more severely tried than IL the Free Sol at the present
iuucure of aaiTs They wish to maintain their organ
izaton and 10 support their men, but the Demo.
Gratis have held tempting bait for the portion OF
the patty il the Eastern District by the nomination OF
Dayis, who Is a firm opponent Of the Fugitive si-ye
Law and an Abolronist 20 boot Win This dainty cry
and supdfy provinces uador the rose, for the Demo
crsts il il not imnrobable that the Liberty men viii
throw hcr,,elves in the scale for the Democratic canti
date for entaye ia this District and thus secure
hi election Bat with this ray OF light for Democrat
10 Relreseutstive comes cloud, large cloud and
black in the shspe Of the sYPrehended basnce OF p'wer
81 the Free Souers in the next General Assembly
They will not give their votes for Allen 30 really and
NAV denaHd qud pro quo for their vote Tor Deni'

Matters axe growing interesting just before election
tWihstAnding the spreading influence OF the late
TfUpertncc Convention the Democrats exhibit Dis
posiiion 10 butt against the Maine Law again. The
organ o. the party Is strangely cold upon The SUI ec
huc even Gov Alien, who has heretofore made his do
Iftiors 10 the Temperance by hundreds OF dol
lars IL now down for only h''iy These thngs are
making tie Mgine Law look about them, and il Is
possible that tler Influence viii be felt upon the Demo
