POLITICAL MOVEMENTS.

Boston July I'd, agreed upon the policy of
keeping the Wing party "intact" in the
coming election, while abstaining from party
action. 1t proposes to call Wing State Con-
vention, September Sd, and issue an address
to the People of Massachusetts.
Delegates from the Wings of seventeen
counties in Kentucky met, July Sd, at Louis
ville 1t resolved against the importation of
foreign paupers and felons, and in favor of the
| extension of the period of naturalization. 1t
declined to make any nomination, advised
| against holding National Wing Convention,
| in favor of leaving each Wing to vote as he
pleased, and, by vote of sixteen counties
against one, rejected resolution affirming
their support of Mr. Fillmore.
| The Wing and Democratic State Conven-
tons of Maine met at Bangor, July lst 1t is
said great enthusiasm was manifested: for
what reason, we know not, except for the sue
cess of the Administration in subduing the
Free State men of Kansas. Samuel 8. Wells
was unanimously nominated for reelection as
Governor, by the Buchanan men; Geo. Z. Pat
ten was nominated for Governor by the Wing
Convention. Both parties, seeing no reason
for condemning the atrocities perpetrated in
Kansas, seem disposed to cooperate for the
defeat of the Republicans.
VERMoNr-The Opposition held a Mass
State Convention on the I'd, ratified the nomi-
nation of Fremont and Dayton, and chose
Lawrence Brainerd and w. C. Bradley, Elect
ors at large.
IMPORTANT MovEMENT.-The New York
Ecening Post publishes to-day call signed by
several leading Democrats who decline to sup
port Buchanan, inviting their fellow Democrats
of like feelings to meet in Convention on the
oath inst, at Syracuse, for consultation, and,
if deemed necessary, for political organization
and action. This is supposed to be a move
ment of the Solts" for Fremont
Suppose they get up ticket of their own,
like some Of the North Americans, and call
upon all the People to support it They are
too sensible for that.
Mr.. CUMBACK.-We are gratifed to perceive
that the Hon. William CUM back, of Indiana, has
been renominated for Congress, by q very full
Convention of his constituents, recently assem-
bled at Greensburgh, in that State. The Deca-
tur Press announces that five thousand persons
were present, and that great enthusiasm pre-.
vailed. The firm and consistent support of
Republican principles by Mr.. Cumback in the
House of Representatives deserves this endorse
ment from his constituents. The same Con-
vention responded cordially to the Peoples
nominations for President and Vice President
The Press, from which we gather the above
facts, states that the Rockford Herald, hitherto
a Fillmore paper, has come out for "a free
press, free speech, free labor, free Kansas, and
Fremont" Also, that the Bloomington Ne,cs
| Letter, an Old Line sheet, has given up the
ghost, and that it is to be succeeded by Re-
publican paper These signs indicate the GER
tain triumph of Freedom in Indiana.
THE New York INDEPENDENT, which has
always advocated Free Soil, Free Speech, and
Free Men, has come out in favor of Fremont.
OWEN LovEJoY, brother of the Alton martyr,
has been nominated for Congress in the Sd
district of Illinois.
MARTIN GROVER, leading Democrat in
New York, a member of Congress in Wimot
Proviso times, is out for Fremont and Dayton.
JOHN BRoUGH, the ablest speaker of the De-
mocracy of Ohio, and the constructor of its
platform in 1874, lately attended Republican
meeting in indianapolis, la. No man in Ohio
can do more service in the campaign than he.
| DEMOCRATS BREAKING.-The Albany Euen-
ing Journal says:
at is no exaggeration to say that at least
| one-half of the old Democratic party of w estern
New York are going for Freedom and Fremont
| In Rochester, a meeting is to be held. 1t will
be addressed by Henry r. Seldom, hitherto the
most popular Democrat, as he is one of the
most estimable gentlemen, in Monroe county
| by Calvin Hudson, jr., an eloquent young Dem
ocrat, who was the Democratic candidate for
County Judge last fall and by John c. Chum-
asero, who has made more speeches for the
Democratic party than any other man in West
ern New York.

| ton, as learn from the Rochester An,ert.
can, is Judge Buell., known all over the State
as an ancient and very influential Democrat,
Judge Shepard, Supervisor Banning of Ogden,
d. s. Brown, Esq, of Scottsville, and multi
tudes besides, equally efficient. The work goes
bravely on.

Gramer, of Waterford. He was for several
