and probably majority of the meeting,
were men who had last fall gone over to
the locofocos, and who intend to uote for
Mat party, no matter what the meeting
called for June, may determine. They
had ceased to be chigs ; their assembling
as such was, as has been well said, case
of false pretence--a deception and
nothing else it was no open and fair
dealing with the public, and they may
be well assured that the public are not
The great High Priest of the affair was
Mr.. Senator Pratt, whom the locofocos
suffered to be elected to that position
without opposition, for the reason, as
they said, that shis election would
break up the Wing party of Maryland"
This same Mr.. Pratt proposed that the
convention should 60 over in a body to
the locofocos, where he and the odious
members of an odious central clique
which had ruled and ruined the Wing
party of the state, before the American
party arose, had already gone; and
whose going over will undoubtedly drive
hundreds for every one Of them from the
Democratic to the American ranks
This handful of men, now going over to
the locos, are the men that party has
denounced for years as the most corrupt
faction in the state, and we shall look
with interest to see them welcomed to
the warm Democratic embrace.
But of the men who were in that con.
vcntion honestly as old line wings, we
have no fears. They cannot and will
not stultify themselves by going over to
a party (now more corrupt and objcc-
tionablc than every against the corrup-
tons, as they alleged, of which, they
have been contcnding for so many years.
We shall shortly look again to this
subject.

We print on our first page, the Resolu-
tions passed by the Old Line Wing Con-
| vention, referred to last week. One of
the approved Kentucky Resolutions lays
down firm adherence to old wing prin-
ciplcs, (Which are certainly more nearly
found i'll the principles of the American
Party than in those of the modern
Democracy and the others are sound
on the American question. AS regards
the religious questions referred to-there
is general effort made to belle the
position of the American party in refer
ence thereto, to which our old liners
seem to have given car. 1t is not true
that the American party oppose any
religious denominations on religious
grounds the assertion that it does is an
invention of its opponents. 1t is Popcry
that it opposes-political popery-that
foreign element which holds the supreme
cy of the Pope in civil affairs, even in
this country, to the government of this
country. No man-no American Ca
tholic-ought to be so blind as not to
sec not only the improperly, but the
danger, ofallowing persons who entertain
such dogma, to hold office in this coun-
try. The American party takes Ameri-
can ground on this question and boldly
says such persons ought not and shall
not fill places of responsibility and power.
Out of this grows the false charge of
religious intolerance, which, though it
might have entered into some of the
earlier local contests of the Know
Nothngs, is not chargeable to the
American party by which it is disavow-
ed. The civil power of the Pope is
already discarded by many European
politicians in Catholic countries and Il
strong movement is now making in
Europe to take from that potcntate all
power, except that which pertains to his
functions as an ecclesiastc. Surely, in
this country, the liberty to maintain the
same doctrine might be permitted with
out such an unfounded cutlery of pro-
scription and intolerance. We are not
prepared to attach much consequence to
the sincerity of any old line wing who
objects to the American party on this
ground.
And if the members of that convention
intend to vote only for asound, conserva-
tive national man, we would like to
known where they will find one more SO
than Mr.. Fillmore man who has
proved himself all they desire in this
respect, and whose integrity is without
blemish and above suspicion. BY the
wings of Maryland he has often been
pronounced whig of the Henry Clay
stamp-a man of national views, noble
ness and truth. How now find objection
to him regarding his position9
Something ought to be said about the
character OF the men who composed that
convention, which unrestricted as it was,
as to the numbers which should con-
stitute it, consisted of only about eighty
members. Undoubtedly quite number
of them were truly and honestly old-line
wHigs, but the gettcrs up Of the concern
