tY- The New York Hard and Soft Shell
democratic committees have, after FIVE weeks
constant aud unremitting labor, succeeded in
getting up temporary fusion. This prop'
tous measure, tits thoughtwill enable Capt.
Rynders to keep the Empire Club, now re-
duced to some forty FIVE or fifty members,
together until November. The stampede
among the Northern democracy to the Black
Republican nominee is very dscouraging, but
as long as Rynders and his band Of shout
der hitters stand firm, there is chance for
fight, IL nothing more. Let the leaders of
the Southern wing take heart-the flag Of
the Empire Club still waves.

GloReIA WHEELED Isro LIEr-Aur,,-

GEORGIA WHEELED ISro LIKE-AMERI.
CAN STATE CONFESSIONAL gentleman just
returned from Georgia, who was present at
the late American State Convention at Ma
con, informs us that there were $50 del
egates in attendance, representing every por-
ton of the State, and that the utmost una
nimity and harmony prevails, while moth.
ing like il in enthusiasm has occurred since
1874. The delegates were evidently from
among the most intelligent and talented
men in the State.
1t will be recollected that Georgia was NOS
represented in the Northern Convention which
nominated Fillmore and Done!son, and her
action is, therefore, independent of that body.
Both Mr.. Fillmore and Maj. Donelson were
nominated unanimously on first ballots, each
taken separately, and they are to to apprissd
Of their nomination by proper committee.
A series Of patriotic resolutions were
adopted, and strong electoral ticket nom
mated. The electors for the State at large
are VIM. II. Craford of Sump,er (son of the
late Hon. VIM. II. Crnwford,) and Benz. II.
Hill of Troupe. Our informant states that
the electoral ticket is decidedly the best
that the State has had for many years.
The people of Georgia are becoming wide
awake. There, as in all other portions Of
the country, Willard Fillmore is paipin0
strength every hour, while James Buchanan
is losing it in the same ratio. With such
state of things going on until November
next, we ask, how will the case stand!

THE LATE WING CONVENTION IN
KENTUCKY.

A correspondent of the New York Express
gives an account of the dOiugs Of the late
Wing State Convention Of Kentucky, icon.
corning which some misapprehensiOn exists,)
from which we make the following extracts
LOUISVILLE, July 6, 1856.
From the trickerv which has taken place
here in the past few days an erroneous i'm.
preston may have gone abroad in regard to
the feeling Of the Kentucky Wings towards
Mr.. Fillmore. The telegraph operator allow
ed a report 10 be sent from here which
though apparently true, was as false as any
thing could be. You have before this receiy-
ed the news that Mr.. Fillmore was rejected
by vote of sixteen to one in the Wing Con.
vention. | will detail to you few facts. In
every county where meetings were held and
delegates regularly appointed Mr.. Fillmore
was emphatically endorsed. In Louisville the
Wing meeting was called in the Democrat
and Courier, the Journal being entirely igno.
rant Of any such call, and few Clay Wings,
suspecting from the look of the thing that
foul play was intended, bestirred themselves;
and, much to the chagrn of the pseudo.
Wings, took possession of the obscure little
room, twelve feet by fifteen, where the meet.
ing had been called. Nine Fillmore delegates
were nominated
After the Convention met a number Of
Wings from other counties not formally ap-
pointed were admitted as delegates, and only
seventeen counties of the State were repre-.
scented by about fifty delegates. With this
slim attendance the Committee on Resolu-
tons did not deem it proper to make nomi-
nation, Mr.. Fillmore's friends considering it
more polite to give him an indirect nomina.
ton. Therefore, when delegate newly ar
rived at the afternoon session insisted upon
substituting direct resolution making Mr..
Fillmore the candidate, all of Mr.. Fillmore's
friends voted for laying the resolution on the
table, with the exception of three members,
though il was positively known that thirty
five of the delegates were pledged heart and
soul for Fillmore. The resolution was not
rejected, and could not have been rejected;
but the committee, for sake Of unanimity, and
to prevent driving off a few Wings who were
bitterly opposed to now-Nothingism, made
the compromise, by which they deemed Mr.
Fillmore to be thoroughly endorsed, by the
resolution reading
awe recommend the individual Wings Of
this State and of the Union to support that
candidate whose political opinions, past his
tory, and present position are in nearest con-
formty TO their own political views, but in all
such action looking to the assertion of Wing
principles and the ultimate restoration of the
Wing party"
This cannot mean Buchanan, and must re-
fer to Mr.. Fillmore. Besides this, the adop
ton of the main plank of the American party
is conclusive. Mr.. Filmores friends consid.
cred it a clear expression of preference, and
did not dream that any one could have the
effrontery to think otherwise.
