National Wings.

The National Inteiligencer, the Boston
Courier. the New York Courier and
Enquirer. the New York Commercial
Advertiser. the Philadelphia Inquirer.
and indeed. all the old substantial whig
papers are demanding that the integrity
of the wing party shall be preserved. and
all coalitions with aboliiionism avoided
We might. had we spare space. give ex-
tracts from all these papers. but we con-
fine ourselves 10 one or two, which rep
resent the spirit of the whole. The n.
Y. Commercial Advertiser Zone of the
oldest whig soldiers in the Union) of
Monday says:
The conservative. national wings can
never consent to become mere sectional,
northern party, or stand upon platform
which the North alone Can occupy. No
political sentiments worth sustaining or
perpetuating--no issues worth confer nd
ing for--can be limited by geographic
Cal line. There can be no party deserv-
ing or capable of influencing the desti
MES of this republic. whose organiza.
tion embraces only half the States of the
Union, and which is avowedly hostile to
the other half. What true patriot. wha
thoughtful statesman, could give his con,
fidence TO such party? For our humble
selues. we would rather be in minor.
iiy of one than among the majority oil
amy party that embraces only section OF
the Union. To the extension of slavery
we are as strenuously opposed as oul
Springfield contemporary can be. and we
think 1t may be assumed that the whie
party In the free States generally enter
tain that sentiment. But there are wing:
at the South, also, who do not desire its
| extension, and not few who, could i
be peaceably end safely accomplished

tuition abrogated. If the wings of tn.
free States are going to erect a platform
for themselves, from which these and al
ether Southern wings are to be posi,ivel,
excluded. these gentlemen must Of ne
cessity unite with the pro- slavery demo
acrats of the South, just as it is proposed
that the wings of the North shall unite
with the freesoil democrats; and Their

Popular Sovereignty.

Well aware that all political organiza-
tons encounter much confusion and in
stability at the present time, yet We
cleave with greater tenacity to the prime
ruling principle of popular sovereignty
to quiet the troubled waters. Why we
favor its more liberal recognition in the
Territories, is, because we have richly
enjoyed its sweets in the States and in a
federal capacity. But we do not lose
sight of the privilege at home. in our ad
vocacy of its extension abroad. No, no.
If majority of the sovereigns of Indi-
ana should elect members to the next
Congress favoring the repeal of the Ne
braska bill, aud if majority Of the
States are thus represented, we should
sacrifice our cherished doctrine to con-
tinue to cry out against that expressed
will of the American people and threat
en- the destruction OF the Union because
our numbers were not sufficient to avert
the calamities the minority might antici-
pate in the event of such action. But
how is it with the opposers of that act
in the North?
We are by DO means tenacious about
the details Of the bill-ii has it's objec-
tious. We know them; but the great
principle it recognizes and esta blishes is
uf sufficient importance with us. to sur
mount them all. When it was first
mootsd in Congress, at first blush its
most obnoxious features stared every one
in the face. and if the vote in the U. S.
Senate hsd been taken upon it in one
week after its introduction, it would not
have received a dozen votes. This we
firmly believe. The people would have
thrust it aside with similar unanimity.
But after maturing its designs. and con-
trasting the liberal and lasting benefi
it confers upon the energetic and reso-
lutte emigrant In pursuit OF little home
for himself and his family. with even its
most obnoxious features. a change was
visible. yet it has not half been told
Whether il will amount to q ready sane
ton of the law as it at present exists.
remains for the future to develops; but
be the decision of the American people
upon it what it may. the principle OF

Mr.. Colfax addressed the Convention

have no easy task on his hands.

vention on the 18th of July, were adop.
ted.

Death of Hon. William G. Ewing.

The painful intelligence oi the decease
of this gentleman, well and personally
known throughout, Laporte County. and in
fact the entire West. has just reached US.
His death occurred q, La Point, an Island in
the North Western part Of Lake Superior,
whilst enroute for Fen du Lac Speaking of
this most unlocked tor bereavement, the
Fort Wayne Times says:
the disease which SO suddenly termna-
ted his usefnl existence was The Cholera.
having baffled medidal aid for the brief Pc
riod OF twenty-five hours.
Thus fell man in the 54th year of his
age whose life for business and energy,
and peril and usefulness is without q par
allel in the west. While his name is in
timaiely blended with the history of Nor
.hern Indiana, and particularly this City;
in his Legislative, judicial and professional
life, he was no less known and held in
distinguished consideration from here to
Fon du Lac, from Huron to the foot of the
Rocky Mountains, indeed in all the distin-
guished cities of the Union, and the Gamma.
dos.
