SENATOR Dixon, of Kentucky, in a letter da
ted September "a, Henderson, Kentucky, saws It
is his intention "to cooperate in future with
the Democratic Party" "The Wing Party
with which have so long acted, has no politi
cal existence" All! the Senator is very I'M
grateful to MesSrs. Hunt and Choate. He
winds up with the stereotyped clap-trap:
"As far as | can Judge, the Democratic mar.
ty, although weakened in the free States IS still
national, and still co-Operates with the Soutbe.Y
Democracy, in opposition to the Aboltioni
and Free-Soilers of the North. VINO. TO DESTROY
the institution of Slavery, would rend the Tn.,n
asunder, and bury beneath the ruins of H.,
Constitution the liberties of the country"

The Raleigh IN. c. Register, which, Ii
the Richmond (Va.) Wing, sustains the mt
Nothing Party, is delighted with the action o.
the Straight-out Wings of Massachusetts and
New York, nobly standing forward - ! asst
the storm Of treason and fanaticism.' /, SAYS
that, "while preserving a distinct organization
from the American party, they have planted
themselves upon its platform, so far rs that
subject, which mainly menaces the Unior, is
concerned" These Southern Know Nothings
and the Straight-out Wings Of the North intend
to concentrate upon common candidate for
the Presidency.

There are over nine thousand legal voter
in Albany, of whom about half have been ii
tinguished as Wings. Two hundred and TWEEN
ty-two of these have been induced to sign dec
laration that they sympathze with the "Nltion
al Wing" Constitution Hall movement. Among
them, we recognise the names Of James hidd,
b. II. Spelman, Daniel ID. Barnard, and many
others, who have been hostile to the Wing par
ty ever since Toombs and Stephens denounced
and deserted it. We are confident that no, one.
third of this list voted for Governor Cla' last
fall. They now tell us that they sym N
with the Constitution Hall movement, b Il
are careful not to say they will support i, 10
nations. If they should their detection sd,
make quite hole in the Know Nothln. 10
