Esy- At wing meeting held in Boston On
the Sd instant, all the speakers protested against
the projected fusion Of the whig and freesoil
parties, and they all gave the same reason for
opposing it, One speaker, however, spoke more
plainly andintelligibly than the rest. He said:
The wings have every thing to lose and moth
ing to gain by such course" He asked ::
What should the wing party gain by becom-
ing frcesoi? He would aver that no party had
ever proved itself more truly and unchangeably
the friends Of liberty than the ,ohig party"
The meaning Of this declaration is plain. 1t
is this :: If the wings of Massachusetts, hold free
soil principles, and are as hostile as they can
be to slavery, they can do more to beguile, de-
ceive, and cheat the wings of the south by re-
tanning the name of wings, than they would by
assuming the odous name of freesoilers There
is much in name, and the wings of Massa-
chusetts know it. The only difference between
them and the freesoilers is in their name. They
are the same in convictions, principles, and
sympathies. The abolitionist who honestly and
boldly avows himself an aboltionist, is far more
entitled to respect than the abolitionist who
seeks to hide his pernicous principles under
false name. The one proclaims himself pi-
rate, by boldly raising his black flag, and thus
gives timely warning. The other hypocritically
hangs out false signals, to enable him the more
completely to deceive.

MEDICAL COLLEGE, OF VIRGINIA.

In another column will be found the adver-
tisement of the Medical College Of Virginia.
We hope the physicians and medical students
Of the south will reflect well on the advantages
presented by this school. Without reference
TO mere sectional prejudices, its claims on the
patronage Of the medical public are great.
Those who compose its board Of visitors are
men of energy, talent and discrimination. 1t
is not to be doubted that they will use every
possible means TO increase the facilities and ex-
tend the usefulness Of the institution over which
they preside. The wisdom of the recent selec-
tons to the chairs of matera medica and mcdi-
cal institutes and jurisprudence is sufficiently
obvious. The desire manifested to increase
the clinical advantages, by the establishment
Of n new hospital, is still farther evidence OF
an earnest wish on the part Of the board to fur
nish every aid TO advancement in the study OF
Southern Pathology and Therapeutics.
We are gratifed to learn that recent advices
from the friends Of DR.. Sequard, in Paris, repre-,
sent his acceptance of the post assigned him,
and his speedy removal to Richmond to be be-
yond doubt.

CONGRESS-.

The business Of Congress having been con-
cluded, the two Houses will meet at at early
hour tomorrow morning, and adjourn sine die
All the general appropriation bills have be
come laws, with the exception of that making
provision for the transportation Of the United
States mail by ocean steamers and otherwise
during the fiscal year ending the thirtieth O
June, 1855. The failure is owing to dis
agreement on an amendment giving notice tc
the contractors to terminate the present ar
rangement.
We must not neglect to mention the passage
among other important measures of the bill to
carry into effect the Reciprocity treaty recently
concluded between the United States and Great
Britain.

THE WASHINGTON UNION AND THE
COMMANDMENT OF GREYTOwN.

We think, that for the first time, the demo-
cratic party is indebted to the National InteHt
geacer. 1t may, however, be TO ourselves ;
for we were the first to defend the lombard
ment Of Greytown. But modesty induces us
to yield the credit TO the LnteHigencer. The
Washington Union, which, unfortunately, in
the beginning, always halts between two
opinions, has, after shilly.shallying, at length
manifested a disposition to defend both the
government and Commander Hollins for the
bombardment Of Greytown. Itingeniously en-.
deavors TO make the hteHige,oer the scape-
goat Of its transgressions. That paper, while
taking no very decided ground, spoke rather
disapproyingly Of the instructions Of the gov
ernment, and the Union, which inclined, until
it could feel the public pulse, to throw the
responsibility on Commander Hollins, finding
that the public pulse beats with both the gov.
ernment and Captain Hollins, very energeti-
cally belabors the IatelligcHcer.
The Washington Union is prudent Jour.
nal Ii takes many steps backwards, bat il
takes no steps forwards until assured that the
ground is firm and the track clear. When il
feels, as il soon will, that both the government
and Captain Hollins are sustained, we hope
that twill come out more decidedly. Although
it has warmly rebuked the National Iatelligen-
Ger, it has not yet exactly toed the mark. II
must defend both the President and the officer
who acted under his instructions. We hope it
will do so

EsB" Congress adjourns tomorrow, and as
VIC issue no paper on Monday, we will avail
ourselves of this occasion to wish the members
Of Congress a safe and a happy return to their
homes. With many Of them our relations have
been Of the most friendly and intimate charac-
ter. With none Of them are we at variance. In
a body so large, there must necessarily be every
variety Of character, and every hue and shade Of
political opinion. The politics ofthe majority Of
both Houses we cordially agree with. From the
wings = the opposite party--we respectfully
differ but for the abolitionists and freesoilers,
we candidly confess that we have no federation.
They are all now about to quit for a season the
scene Of their labors To one and all we ex.
tend our best wishes. May they reach their
homes in health and safety, and find those who
are near aud dear TO them prosperous and hap
py. May kind Providence bless their legis
lative labors to themselves and TO their coun.
try. May those who are right be confirmed in
the truth, those who are wavering be fixed on

ASSAULT ON THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES.

We regret to learn that a rude and wilful as
sault was yesterday morning made on the per-
son of the President of the United States as he
was leaving the Capitol. The offender was
promptly arrested, and on the examination be-
fore Capt. Huntington it was proved that he
threw the missile which struck him. However,
the President generously requested that he be
released, and accordingly he was set at liberty.
