A correspondent Of the Windsor Journal
land the editor Of the Journal also) asserts
that the Waterman is in favor of " The dis
solution of the Wing party" These gen.
temen are mistaken entirely. We desire a
dissolution of all partnership with the few
pseudo Wings, who support the darling mea-
sure of the Pierce administration and for
such dissolution" we count upon large
accessions.
The Nergennes Termonier inquiries wheth-
er the Wing party is dead We think not,
most decidedly. 1t is vigorous, strong, grow
ing but there is a sweeping epidemic pre-
vailing-nevitably fatal to every party and
every body who meets it unprepared. Let
the Wing party be prepared.
The Brdtiieboro' Eagle, Rutland Herd'd
and Burlington Free Press think it not best
"to disband The Wing party" Very likely A.;
now will they enlarge its bands ? The Edit
ors of all of these papers appear to be sound
on the new issue presented by the Admins
tration. They declare that the whig party
is sound, and that they wish to have it
sound. If they are consistent, they will
support nobody and affiliate with nobody
who is unso ind and if they are as earnest
as we suppose they are in this matter, they
will be glad to cooperate, in every honora-
bic way, with all who agree with them.--
Are they ready to seek in this direction for
what will, practically and inevitably, be an
enlargement Of The Whis party, ifhs party
chooses 10 PIT itself in The necessary position {?
They have indicated an answer-as good as
given by the Eage. lei The opponents Of
Slavery extension come 10 The Uhig party
This is precisely in the spirit of the Green
Mountain freeman and the brandon Post /;
let The anii-.NtJrdska Uhigs come 10 the Free
Soil Party Thus stand the extremes on
each side, while between them are thousands
Of Wings Free Sellers and Democrats in
Vermont who really and honestly desire to
act together in the matter; who are heartily
tired Of defeating each other, and permit
ting the common enemy to profit by their d.
visions: who wish to take reasonable grounds,
and cultivate liberal and friendly sentiments,
for the purpose of securing harmonious ac-
ton; and who are far less troubled about
names, leaders, candidates, or organiza-
tons, than they are to find a practicable
ground of union. We think 1t is well for all
concerned to reconsider these positions.
The Herald suspects we do not know what
we are at. 1t is mistaken. We have long had
a distinct idea Of putting an end, if practical
BILE, to the tripartIte political war, in Vermont
particularly. We have of late hoped that
the great principles involved in the Nebras-
ka bill afforded the most likely means to &C
complish that end and when the Mddlebury
Register on the one hand, and the Vermont
Tribune on the other, gave utterance to like
ideas, we responded in way to show our
own thoughts and to draw cut our brethren
of the quill. We well knew the obstacles
in the way; the difficulty of fixing upon a
common ground of union the ties of party
the jealousy of partizans and OF cliques-
and withal the differences Of opinion as to The
mode OF attempting any thing whnteuar.--
Knowing all this, we have published wha,
we have and have succeeded in dratcing
The fire of various of our brethren of the quill.
All right, gentlemen, as far as you, or we,
have gone; right in this that the thoughts
that were in have been to some extent got
om. This, it strikes us, was a thing needed
previous to any definite ection,--as prepa-
ration tor definite propositions that may sue
coed. Next week we shall endeavor TO pub
llsh sundry articles on the subject, of various
hues. In the mean time we hope the Com
mitiees who are entrusted with the calling of
Conventions, have also had an eve upon the
signs Of the times, and will act advisedly
when they do act.
