.THE wHIG NATIONAL MOTIVATION.

Under this caption the National hegeosr Of yesterday
contains a carefuy-worded leader, from which infer
that the editors Of that Journal have made up their minds
definitely support the nomination for the presidency and
vice presidency recently made at Baltimore The policy
Of nonoommAlism which has controlled the hsgsneer
for time passt had furnished grounds for some
doubts 70 the position which it would finally occupy,
and had given rise 70 conflicting as TO the presden
Al sympathies Of its editors These doubts and rumor
dissipAtsd, and the National Lsgsn takes the
ground which those who familiar with its uneOmPro
missing hostility TO the democratic party had right 10
suppose il would take II would be almost great
miracle to "the leopard change his spots the
National LHegResr become the supporter Of democratic
candidate for the presidency OF course more
surprised at its decision support Mr. Fillmore than
to the late Baltimore Convention nominate that
gentleman. The object of the convention whether il
composed of wings know-nothings BOTH
mate Mr. Fillmore and hence its work promptly and
harmopously effected. The only surprise TO the Intel
geneers that did not eyinee the prompt
in endorsing the nomination that the convention
did in making it 1t just impossible for the
men who composed that convention to support dem
for the presidency is for the editors of the
slgeneerthey alike the old uveterate and
and nomination designed to manifest the persistent
obstinacy of their democratic antipathies
We shall enter into discussion to the wisdom of
the decision which neighbours have made They have
exercised undoubted right in the course they have
adopted and not disappointed shall COM
plain How they hope promote wing principles by al
lying themselves to party which processes to have risen
upon the ruins and the eorrupons of the wing party
a..nn.
has very much the appearance of final absorption of
the remnant Of the wing party by the ocaled American
organization Nor shall criticise the singular ncon-
ssency exhibited by the fact that convention claiming
to BE uuadulteraed wings could nominate for the vice
presidency candidate who uttered kind word
entertained friendly sentiment towards wing principles
wing With great deal of respect for the char
acersc caution and the proverbal prudence of the Intel
gsne, think the St Louis Republican another old
line wing journal of established reputation takes much
sensible and patriotic view of the late whg national
nominations We quote from that Journal as follows:
"WHIG CONVENTION AT BALTImoRE.-The gentlemen
who have taken upon themselves speak for the wings
depued in instances by limited numbers Of individuals
in cities and of the different Staeshave had their
say have passed certain resolutions and have adjourned Ii
oregone conclusion believe, that they would
the whig party and avowed his fidelity another but
doubt whether any whg dreamed that they would
omend Andrew jackson Doneson for the vice presidency
who breathed whig sentiment in his life, and
who spoke well of whig If he could find ythng III
say him. In thus taking up and endorsing
of the Know Nothing Convention-a party which its
existence to the declaration that the whg party had become
corrupt that 1t could longer be rustedn thus asking
wings support the nomination Of Donelson the
office in the government, although his past life has been
bitter magnty whig and whig principles
that the Baltimore assembly relied altogether much
upon the creduy and the fogving disposition of the wings
Of the Union. They will be deuded In this way they
go Of the party for upon whom their
votes they WELL in the exercise sound discretion
and the performance Of duty to the country
chsnan and Breckenridge for Fillmore and Dnneson
every State Of the Union there is democratic ticket
will be in each Of the States between the ticket
thus nominated and that Of the other of the factions
opposition to it, Perhaps Pennsylvania presents excep-
this remark, for there the monsToty is Of
Fillmore and DoneIson ticket supported BY the
friends Of Fremont and Dayton-the black republicans
ing that ticket several of their men, and the design being
the democratic ticket be defeated BY this fusion
transfer the Of the whole State Fremont How will
wings who deest black repuboansm like this arrangement
As for the wings Of Missouri they have taken their stand
and be honeyugged into the endorsement Of
such piece Of political ieksry and reachey but should
like know what the wings Of Kentucky and Tennessee and
Louisiana have say to the Pennsy vania bargain?
awe do believe that the deliberations the Balti.
Convention will have any great weight in the decision
Of the presidential election November"
