THE BROADWAY HOUSE WINGS.


Some sixteen gentlemen, purportine to represent the
old line wing party, met last night at the Broadway
House to take action to what they should do in the
coming Presidential contest.
Mr. Robert Haws, Of the Tenth ward was called TO the
chair and W. G. B. Miken, of the Fifteenth ward. off,
eated rs secretary.
1t understood address was prepared endorsing
the nomination Of Willard Fillmore for the Presidency
and recommending all good wings 10 drop their preju.
oces and accept him in good faith But the document
not acted upon
There discussion to the proprety Of recon-
mendng the wing platform of 1854 and committee
appointed to draft report expressive Of the Of the
wings of New York. the prevailing political topics Of
the day, including The "border rufian difficulty.
The meeting adjourned at late hour TO again
next Thursday evening, to hear the report of the
mittee.
III natured persons urge that this movement got up
solely for the benefit of certain politicians, who want TO
sell out TO advantage. These wings claim to have five
thousand votes behind them sufficiently large number
to drive little political bargaining WITH between the
Know Nothpgs and niger worshppers.

DEMOCRATIC STATES.

IN these estimates it will be perceived
that no State is put down IS doubtful. This
is done in order to give the probable re-
suits in a complete and definite shape, and
as strongly as possible against the democratic
party. Otherwise Maine, New HAMPSHIRE
Michigan, Connecticut and Wisconsin might
have been as safely placed aEong the doubtful
or even the democratic States, as for the Nc:
GER WeRsHIPPERs, because TIE nomination OF
Mr.. Fillmore divides the ant.-democratie OPP
position forces between him end the Seward
alliance in all the Northern States, whether
there are any available remains of the old cen
servative whig party ia existence.
At our lest fall election the American party
carried their State ticket by some 10000 plu
rality; but this was chiefly done upon the merits
of alive Oak George" as the presumptive
American candidate for the succession. His
antecedents are democratic, and hence the fu-
sion ofsome forty odd thousand hard shell dem 7
Gratis NTH the Know Nothings last November as
preferable to reunion with the soft shells in
Next fall, unless Pierce, Marcy, Gushing, JEFF.
Davis, or come such obnoxious Cabinet nomi-
nation should be made at Cincinnati these
forty thousand hards will most probably fuse
again with the outstanding ha-ds and softs, az
they did in 1852, in expectation Of new ana
equitable division of the spoils, or perhaps go
for some independent candidate. We conclude,
therefore, that the nomination OF Mr.. Fillmore,
prtna facie, throws New York into the demo
cratic scale.
AS far as Mr.. Fillmore is concerned, we con-
slider the four States conceded to him, as mat
tiers sand, q liberal allowance. Should Mr..
Pierce be nominated at Cincinnati, however,
there will be fine opening for Fillmore in
New York, Pennsylvania. North Carolina,
Georgia, Indiana California and Florida; and
for the sake of an open, defnitive fight between
Seward, Fillmore and Pierce, we are half in
clined to think that these three should be the
Presidential candidates for SO, and that these
three would be quite enough for the most ex.

The champions Of Free Ksnsas in tho House Of
Representatives struck . noble blow 10 her behalf
when they voted to appropriate money for the Mil
itsry service If the ensuing year only on condition
that the Army shall not be used to enforce the BJr
dtr.RufHan usurpation. The pretended "lsws"
of the body which sat at Shawnee Mission and styled
itself Territorial Legislature Of Kansas have no
mere riehtful validity than those Of the British
army which once cap ured Washington City would
bave had had that army resolved itself into an
American Congress, or ele,ted one from its own
body, and thereby proceeded gravely to enact the
remuneration o. the United States to Great Britain.
Whenever and wherever the friends Of Free Kan
sas have power, they will Of course treat those
claws" a. the impudent impostare and outrage
they really are; where they have but partial or d.
vided authority, they will d. the best they can.
We beg the Free State Members Of the HOuse to
follow up this well-simrd blow BY others. To the
clause in the general or any other Appropriation
bill providing pay for Shannon, Lecompte, Donald
son and the rest If that crew, let other amend
nents be voted, striking ct other features or Incl
dents of the Border.Ru usurpation in Kansas.
Let Us in every way expo'e and riddle the base

notorious truth is that tho Sensts of-n to repeal

putting an end to the Mi'sOurisn usurpssion, this
Senate bill virtually afirms iss validity. This the
Bouse must resist, even at the cost Of being DO
lied and defamsd as they now are. But give the
Senate opportunity after opportunity to repeal the
Border Rufian laws; and even to repeal the worst
Of THIN separately if that can be done without i-
plying the validity Of the rest. Serve up the 70
peal Of those laws in every style, and let us see tho
Senate make faces therest. If Douglas & Co.
want to repeal the Border-Rufaan ensctmens
which his first Kansas Report this Session said
thty couldn't and wouldn't repeal, let them have
abundant and varied opportunities.
