There is now no room for doubt, that
the greater portion of the Wing party
in Ohio, will ~amalgamate with the Free
Sellers this Fall, for the sake of Office.
That their anti-Slavery professions are
all made for this purpose, there is no
room for doubt. 1t is as clear as the
MONDAY sun, and especially so in this
portion of the State: IF opposition to
the Nebraska Bill is their true aim, they
surely have no right to complain of the
Democrats in this Congressional Dis
trict. Our member of Congress voted
against the Bill, and many old line, re-
liable Democrats opposed it. Why have
they nominated a Free Soil Wing can
didate for Congress against a man who
voted against the Bill, and in advance
of the Democratic nomination? Will
the Wings support an. anti-Ne braska
Democratic nominee, should the Demo
Gratis make such anemination? If there
is no other issue before the people, why
did they not wait the action of the Dem
ocratie Convention (? The game of the
Wings is certainly very plain. They
hope, by this move, to dri0e the Demo
Gratis of this District into the support of
the Bill, and to nominate a pledged Ne
braska man, by which they hope to get
a few Democrats to vote for Judge BLISS.
1t remains to be seen whether any Dem
ocrats of this County, viii be caught by
this Wing bait. We stand pledged in
ADVANCE, to support the Democratic NOM
inee of our Convention. We do not pre-
tend to say what the action of our Con-
will be, but we do not suppose that the
Nebraska matter will be made a ques-
ton in the Convention. We do not be-
lieve, considering the present complex
ion of the Senate, that there is the slight
est hope for a repeal of the Bill. The
people of Kansas will not make applica-
tion for admission into the Union for sew
eral years to come, and it is utterly i'm
possible at this time to tell what the
social institutions of the State will be.
Then where the necessity of keeping up
a useless agitation of the slavery ques-
With the Wings there can be but
one object-to fatten upon the spoils.
are confident that no Democrat will
lend himself to such base purposes, or
will aid in any scheme that will build
up the Wing party at the expense of the
party.
In conclusion, as a Salro for this Wing
we give the following extract from
a speech of HESRY Clay, delivered on
the 18th of November, 1850. Old Wings

Very sHAMEl Anticipating this move
ment by the Wing party in the Free
States, he denounced it in the following
decided terms:
"But if it 1.-THE Wig partly is to be
merged into a contemplate Abolition
party, and ii Abolitionism is to be en-
grafteS upon the Wing creed, from that
moment I rezounce the party, and cease
to be a. WhigI 1 go yet a step further:
If I am alive, 1 will give my humble
support to that man for President who,
whatever party he may belong, is not
contaminated by fanaticism, rather than
the one who, crying out all the time that
he is Wing, maintains doctrines utter
ly subyersive of the Constitution and of
the Union"
We respectfully suggest to our Wing
friends to cut out this precious piece of
advice from their old leader, and paste it
in their hats as a sort of lookiBg-glass,
so hat they may see what sort of a fig
ure they present, when they set around
in bar-rooms and country doggeries, with
their heels elevated at an angle of forty
five degrees, and amid a shower of to-
