DAY." XIX
Il The late Democratic ratification meeting in
Boston, Mass, was addressed by Col Wright, Of
Lexington, and Edward Riddle Of Charleston
Both belong to that class ofmen whom the Black
Republicans hate, Old line Whigs' The Evans
vile Clnd.) Enquirer, in speaking Of the late De-
mOcratic Congressional Convention in that Dis
trict says:
ave congratulate the friends Of Judge Lock
hart upon an accession to their ranks of several
hundred honest Old line Wings A large num-
bcr were with Us at Petersburgh, and dcternn-
ed for the future to act with the Democracy as
the only national party in existence. Several
went up from this city who have never cast vote
for Democratic national, State or Congression-
al ticket, but who will labor with us hereafter,
They will prove faithful soldiers, and We bid
them welcome.
The Springfield Qll.) State Register publishes
a letter from the Hon f. B. Webb, another old
line Wing, who hereafter will be found in the
ranks Ofthe Democracy. In Virginia there ap-
pears 70 be perfect rush of the old line Wings
into the Democratic organization. A late Dem
cratic meeting in Northumberland county, Va,
was addressed by G.. w. Perkins and Robert
Mayo, Jr., both old line Wings, c. B, Conrad
an elector on the Know Nothing ticket in Va,
declined serving and announces his determine
tion to vote for Buchantn and Breckenridge. In
the State of Maine the party Straight out
WhigS," which last year polled about ten thou
sand votes in that State is said to be for Bu-
chanan.
! The Springfield Qll.) State Register, in noting
the fact that Robert s. Blackwell an old line
Wing candidate for Congress in the Chicago dis
trct in 1854, and Scott Presidential elector in
Illinois in 1852 is for Buchanan, says that Of the
Illinois Wing candidates for officers in that year,
their candidates for Governor Secretary Of State
and two of the electors arc out for Buchanan
and Brockinridsc, The Register further re-
marks:
"Inall parts of the State leading men of The
Wing party are joining the Democratic ranks.
! Warren, Morrison, Singleton and Constable are
not alone among those who have Joined our
ranks - as the Black Republican newspapers
would make the people believe, These gentle
men arc openly uponthc stump, maknga cam
paign for the Democratic cause, and VIC have the
names of many others who will soon engage in
the work"
The Louisville Courier (Ky.) of the 23l inst,
says:
| at is singular fact, and an unmistakabc sign
ofthe times, that at the Democratic meeting in
this city on Saturday, four Of the gentlemen
who nude addresses were formerly ardent anI
prominent H'hiys'"
No wonder with such indications from all
parts Of the Old line Wings, that the Black Re-
publican press should be so profuse in the ep-
thets of abuse which they apply to them.
crit will be seen that while the opposition
papers go from hone and draw upon the imagi-
nation for names, we give those we'll known and
real. Among the hundreds we name:
Hon Nelson Barrcre, and Hon w. Johnson
late Wing candidates for Governor of Ohio
Hanson L. Penn, President Whig Conyentiou
John A. Smith and 4. s. Boys, Esqrs., of Hills
boro, late members of the Legislature Jos. G.
Gcst Of Greene county, formerly Wing mem
Der of the Legislatures; Hon. Charles Anderson,
Frank Chambers, Esq, Judge Tlldcn, Thomas
J. Straight, Esq, and j. D. Ward, Esq, all in
our own immediate vicinity, besides hundreds
of others in Ohio and tens ofthousands through
out the country.
| The last number Of the Bellfountaine (O)
Gazette published in Logan county, in this
State, comes to us with the names of Buchanan
and Breckenridge at its mast head for President
and Vice President Of the United States The
| GdzaTe has always been under the management
of its able editor Mr.. Hubbard, an Old-lhe
Wing sheet and last fall it even supported Chase
for Governor. From the Gazette's we'll written
article, defining its position, we make the follow
| ing extract:
"There is really but one absorbing question
now before the people. In the solemn magn-
question is at last presented in tangible form.
! Shall the Uuion be preserved? or shall the first

the States ofthc Union by severance of the
North from the South? Lookingat the political
aspect of the times, with this question staring
us in the face, me make our choice ofcanddates.
The nominees of the Cincinnati Convention
make the preservation of the Union the matter
of permanent interest. Other principles arc
advocated; but ifany principles are to be com
promised all of them may be subscrvient; but
tie Union must be preseyvel.
"On the other hand, the preservation Of the
Union is a minor ana secondary principle with
| those who have met in convention under the IL
tie ofRcpublcans. With them, the preservation
Of the Union is to be tolerated as matter of
Contingency. Mr.. Banks committed the first o.
vert act Of treason in declaring in the halls of
Congress that he was in favor Of 'letting the
| Union slide," unless a favorite crotchet of his
own and his associates could be endorsed.

"Whilc we profess to be guided by our own
judgment in matters ofpolitical interest, it is a
source Of pleasure to us to know that our opin-
onrcspecting the merits of the Democratic anl
Republican candidates is not unique among the
members Of the old Wing party. When men of
such eminence and honesty as Rufus Choate and
Robert G. Winthrop not to mention the scores
upon scores Of old and tried Wings of our ac-
quaintance, and in this vicinity, are coming out
boldly for James Buchanan, we are satisfied that
