+ HOW 1T HURTS.
The Valley Wing of the 18th inst, cont inns
On article that we would never have thought
could have emanated from that scource, res |
pecting the 6 Silver Gray wings of New York
fusiug with the Know Nothings in the sup
port Of Mr.. Ullman, the Know Nothing candi- |
date for governor. The thrust is not aimed at
the know nothings so much nor the silver gray
wings a. 1t 10 at Mr.. Fillmore. This is what is
meant by the article of the Wing. He calls
the silver gray wings a faction, which is
likewise thrust at the National whig party
clearly showing TINT it is entirely abolition
scd or in other words Se,cardised. 1t strikes
at She Know Nothings, because they have
prescribed Mr.. Seward, thinking that one
fell swoop Of its gray goose quill, will exter-
inmate the entire Know Nothing party. 1t
does this, that it may revenge the insult Of
fered by them to Mr.. Seward, expecting at
the same time, to bling odium upon these
poor Know Nothings, that have just peeped
into the light of existence, with the desire of
doing their day and generation good service.
Not content with the infection, given them by
its broadside, leaps like live thunderbolt
erased with his own velocity. into the last re-
mains Of the noble old whig party, and scathes
them with vengeance as rude as robbing
sepulcher, yet it INDUCES in such loathsome
servility with agusto, only rellshableby likes.
The silver gray wings faction? Who ever
heard Of the old wing party was faction.
Who deems that now, a1psa portion of the
, tho Old wbiE party 50 corrupt aud selfshly
inclined have lef0{t.> land joined in with the
the abolitionists, is tbproof that the silver
gray wings, which remained true to the plat
form of 1885,, and the compromises of 1850,
are faction. BY no means, but the contra
~. 1t shows that those who left the old
wing party are factionists, but it cannot mar
the colors of the silver gray wings with the
odium of the term faction. They are the
faction which joined with the great mother of
factions the abolition party Of the North. IL
the Valley Wing, designs to thrust Mr.. Fill
more under the name of silver gray wings
let it do so like Roman, not under cover of
his friends, Hear its language.
ssThe Know Nothing Convention in New
York eventuated in the nomination of Dan
lei Ullman, of that city, for Governor
The rest of the ticket we have not seen. MIR.
Ullman is man of character, and highly
respected. Should he be elected, he would
make an able Executive, but of his chance
for the place, we can only say it is exceed
ingly slender. In politics he is Silver
Grey Wing. A portion of that faction do
not relish the acceptance by the Wing candi-
dates of the Anti-Nebraska nomination,
swith the resolutions annexed although
their own were hardly less radical in respect
Z OF slavery, and they may be inclined to sup
port MIR. Ullman. But it would be curious
alliance, if the Silver Grays should with any
show of unanimity adopt the Know Nothing
ticket. They hardly dare commit their whole
fraternity in such manner, we presume"
As it respects the Silver gray Wings, vo-
ting for the Know Nothing candidate, be-
cause he is silver gray Wing, is as much
their right and their privilege, as that of the
Wings to join with the Abolitionists, and
vote their ticket; and two one, more honora-
BILE, because, the Know Nothings know no
North, no South, but the Union. and the
whole country. As respects Mr. Fillmore
adopting the Know Nothing ticket. is gra-
J utiuty Of the Wing alone, and if the silver
gray Wings do vote for Mr.. Ullman, because
be is one Of their members, it does not prove
that they have adopted their ticket, nor will
it either prove, that Mr.. Fillmore is favora-
bic to the Know Nothings. And even if it
did, which it does not, would We not prefer af-
fhation with them, rather than with Adolf
tionsts? Most certainly we would. With the
former there is some show of the permanent
cy Of the Onion, with the latter none. In
'conclusin, we would give the Wing another
bit of advice, which is this, the less it says
about silver gray Wings and Know-Noth
ings in the ears Of Abolitionist, the better
for it, especially in connection with the name
Of Mr.. Fillmore,

three criminal suits which will consume
