The WmiGs OF MAssAcnUsErTs.--As every
thing pertaining to politics and parties Is Of
interest just at this time, we publish below
an account of "lIve Wing" demonstration
/. in Massachusetts, which we find in the Boston
Daily Advertiser:
"a meeting of the Wing members of the
Legislature Of Massachusetts, was held at the
State House in Boston on Thursday evening,
and WAS attended by number of Wings from
all parts Of the State, who had been request.
ed, by circulars distributed as widely Ms pos
eible, TO be present.
"The most cordial feeling prevailed among
the gentlemen present, and letters were read
from many Wings. necessarily absent, express
sive of their continued devotion to the Wing
cause. large and efficient Wing State Gem
trail Committee was appointed, and after two
or three brief ana eloquent speeches, an ex-
cellent resolution was adopted, setting forth
that the Wings Of Massachusetts see no cause
to abandon their old organization or their old
creed; that they will abide by their princi.
pies; that they will Join no accidental, triv.
ial, or temporary organization, and that they
will enrol themselves in the ranks Of no par
ty which does not bear the flag and Keep
step TO the music Of the Union.
"The Wings Of Massachusetts, have thus
assumed position which must command re.
spect, and where We are persuaded that they
can exert powerful influence for good"

A CoSrRAsT.-The conduct of the city
council Of New York, which is largely Amer
lean in politics, in their treatment of Mr..
Buchanan, contrasts strikingly with that of
Philadelphia, which numbers majority of
Pierce Democrats. The former gave him
splendid reception on his return from Eu
rome, md offered him the freedom Of the city.
Citizens Of all parties vie in the respects
shown to the distinguished ex.Minister.-
The latter even refused him public hall in
which TO receive his friends.
This disgraceful breach Of courtesy indi-
Gates bitterness Of the strife now raging be.
tween the rival asprants for the Cincinnati
nomination. We trust ii may rage ill they
have consumed each other. The appliances
with which L'cofocoism has debauched the
pnbic sense, and humbugged the country,
threaten to prove its own ruin. A retribu'
ton thus achieved would be appropriate as
served,--Nashriiie Patrol

TINS BLACK REPUBLICAN, PROGRAMME FOE
THE PRESIDENTIAL CoSrEsr.-The New
York Tribune Of the lst instant contains A
letter from which we extract the following
programme for the Presidential contest:
"Whaiever may be the differences Of opinion
IN other States in regard to the nomination
Tor President, there is certainy none in Mas
sachusetis. Fremont alone is thought Of |
s"Te not yet met with any one who proposes
another caEdidate. This preference, TO be
sure, Is founded altogether on considerations
OF availability. II the republican nomination
were equivalent To an eviction, we should
undoubtedly have very different stIte Of
feeling. But it is nur obvious policy to takc
n new man-onc who has not 10 overcome
established pr,judices or long standing and
bitter animosities. However absurd or un.
just these prejndices and animosties may be,
II Is neither wise nor safe 10 disregard them
IN the present unsettled and delicate condition
OF our politics. Nne:y-nine in hundred of
the republicans of Massachusetts would UNI
dotbtedly prefer for President Seward or
Chase, or several other gentlemen who could
be mentioned, rather than Fremont: but when
The question of preferences is reduced TO the
practical issue whether we shall nominate
Seward or Chase and be defeated, or Fremont
and elect him, there is but one answer to be
given"
'Of the effect Of any nomination that may
be made on the States west of the Hudson ]
can say nothing; but | think have the means
of forming tolerably accurate opinion about
New England Stewards nomination would |
b. distastrIul TO the democrats, the bunker
wings, aud peculiarly disiasteIu TO the know
nothlnss, TO whom scarcely any man is more
obnoxious. No~, 10 affect anything Mt the |
election, we must gain over large
numbers from all these parties. Our own
strength is not sufficient to carry single |
New England State. But, with candidate
not personally obnoxious to these three par
ties, We can win largely from all of them on
the platform Of opposition to the extension Of
slavery"
This is unquestionably the plan for the
campaign which is ut present most in favor
with the black republican managers.

B The Washington correspondent of the
Courier and Enquirer writes as foIlows;-''Nr
Douglas has arrived, and will oppose the Adj
ninistration in its policy upon Central America.
He advises an alliance offensive and defensive
with Gen. Walker, as preliminary to the war
with Great Britain which is about to take place
upon INSTRUMENTATION of the President, and
with the concurrence of Messrs. Seward, Footo
and Wilson. Mr. Douglas has not yet perfectly
recovered the use ofhis voice, his great weapon,
but he will find the means to swell the war cry
against Great Britain Though dissatisfied with
the course of the President upon Kansas affairs,
he acquiescesinit, because to do otherwise would
be to tnjure his own prospects for the Prcsiden-
tial nomination.

The Pacific is now less than twenty days from
Iiyerpool. The fact of her encountering ice
fields. rendered probable by the report Of the
Persia, would suffice TO cause the delay, With
out implying any more serious result than dSa-
bling her wheels and machinery. Such accident
might greatly rctard her; and at this season OF
the year, when west winds and often heavy wea-
ther prevail it might be regarded by Capt Ed
ridge as the easiest and safest solution of the diff
tieuIty to put back to ireland. That course
! might even have been decided on in consequence
of detention from the cause supposed reducing
essentially the stock of coal, without the ships
RECEIVING damage. If it were practicable to ex-
tricate her by retracing her course, while the
chance of speedily running through the ice was
doubtful, prudence required that the ship should
be put about.
The Atlantic, it will he remembered, was dri-
ven to this expedient four or five years ago, hay
ing become disabled when two-thirds across the
ocean on her voyage to New York, 1t was tho't

Various rumors were ailoat inthc city yesterday

!, been received of either the Alabama or the Pa
eiae
