The old line Wings have movement on foot,
which, from the letter of Edward Bale, of No.,
and others published recently, indicates that
Convention will be certainly called-probably

desirable thst thoy should stand aloOf and keep
up their party organization, confident of their
ultimate restoration to power.
Awashington letter says that Messrs Choate,
Jones, and other prominent Wings, have agreed to

or THE NORTH SDE.-The n. Y. Tribune,
after eonceding to Mr.. Buchanan every excel.

he should not receive the support of the
North:

different course in case Of the election of Mr..
Buchanan An office seeker from the first sup

pursuit Of party chances and not of principles,

NulliHers and Slavery Extonsionists, and restore

possible, Mr. Buchanan could never do it But
Il ii not possible. That party is irredceinably
lost II cannot DO made anything else than
party for the extension of Slavery and the sub
iugation Of Freedom. Whoever is its standard
bearer can never hope to lead it in any other d.
rection. As well might man in a row boat in
the Niagara rapids attempt to reverse theswSeP-

Besides, rs for Mr.. Buchanan, he has not only
pledged himself to the Slavery Extensionists,
but his special friends are Of that color. Why,
the most influential and confidential Of them is
Mr.. Forney, one Of the foremost in forcing the
Kansas.NebraSka bill through Congress by
means Of Executive patronage aud influence
Next there Is SlideA Of Louisiana, who voted
for that BILL and did his utmost to secure itspas-
sage And then there Is Douglas readiest of all
opposing candidates to withdraw in Buchanans
behalf at Cincinnati, and the loudcst advocate
Of his election. Associated with Mr.. B. on the
ticket, as Vice President, is John G. Brecken-
ridge, one Of the most vehement and untiring
supporters Of the Ransas-N Nebraska bill in the
last House, where he made himself cOnspicu.
