The National Intelgencer, the central Or
gan Of the old wing party, is determined to
stand by the old wing colors to the last, no
matter what course others may take, What
ever name others may assume, the Intelligent
Ger asserts its determination never to give up
the old wing name and principles. Hear it:
The Vine PARTY OF VA-Our friends of
the Annapolis Republican, take exception to
our designating the defeated party in the late
Virginia election as the '<whig party" We
were not unaware that in thus denominating
the supporters of Mr.. Flournoy we departed
somewhat from technical exactness, seeing that
he was the formal candidate of the know moth
ings, and that the wing party, as such, had
brought out no candidate. But as the wings
and the wing press Of the State generally uni
ted on Mr. Flournoy, in opposition to the de-
mocratlc candidate, we ventured for the sake |
IF conciseness and to avoid some crcumlo-
,uton, to adopt the phraseology which the Re-
publican objects to- We should be happy to
earn that Mr.. Flournoy's vote did embody the
strength of the wing party, as in that event it
would prove stronger than we had supposed
t. Strong Or weak, however, we can assure
'ur Annapolis friends that we do not mean to
five it up so long as we can find any remnant
If it adhering to the princip pies OF Clay and
Webster, nor seek to ''identify it, with any
ther, under whatever name, which repudiates
hese principles.
