We subion the comments Of the Louisville
Journal:
Since the very beginning Of this movement nm eff
fort has been made by managing DemocralS and "a
few pseudo Wings. who have declared themselves
members of the Democratic party, 10 make capital
out of the movement Their efforts have sgnally
failed Wherever Wing conventions have been held
there has either been actual expression OF prefer
enee for Willard Fillmore, or in one or two Instances,
they have omitted any expression of opinion.
Tho fact Is clearly established that ninc-tcnihs OF
the Wings of Kentucky and we believe that the same
proportion of the Wings the Union are in favor OF
Mr. Fillmore There many reasons why the con
venton yesterday did not plainly and fiatly endorse
Mr. Fillmore. The desire of number OF influential
men who were present who arc ardent ana earnest
advocates of Mr. Fillmore's election. deemed IL mex
peiien that the convention should take such action
They aim at a reorganization of the Wing party, and
while they will vote for Mr. Fillmore, aud many of
thonf expect to canvass their districts in his behalf
they think that the convention as convention of
distinct political organization should not merge itself
with any other party
OF the committee on resolutions, we have been In
formed that r. Appcrson, Sr., Hon. S. I. Bell Judge
kincaid, and Judge pirte are warmly IN favor OF Mr.
Fillmore. Mr. Jas. b. Clay has been heard 10 say
that he Is not for Buchanan We have not heard tho
predictions ofthe other two gentlemen on the com
mittee.
The third resolution however, contains virtual
recommendation Of Mr.. Fillmore II advises the
Wings Of Kentucky and of the Union TO support that
candidate for the Presidency whose antecedents are
most contorma6ie to old Wing principles. Under the
resolution old Wings cannot support Mr. Buchanan
nor Col. Fremont, and ifthey vote AT all they must
support Mr.. Fillmore else go altogether contrary
to the principles of the Wing party.
They have also adopted resolution Incorporating
the leading features of the American platform in
of the naturalization laws. They have thus nearly
obliterncd all lines of distinction and actually mp
proved the most important measures advocated by the
American party
