Il ie really amusing read in the whlg papers OF
this city the causes which they assign tor the defca
Of their party in this State at the late presidential
election. Some OF them attribute II to the excess
of naturalization, others TO abolition, ana nnaiiy,
it is charged TO the American Republicans; but lei
me tell you, there Is another cause mucn more
powerful than that assigned by the whig papers,
and that is the intolerance of the whig party to-
wards the conservatives . -.


II cannot but be admitted by all candid mihos
that prior TO about 1888, the wha party had been
entirely unsuccessful In making any lnroaos INTO
the ranks OF the democratic party II was not un,
I'll Senator Talmadge came out and denounced
their ultra measures that any formidable opposiuoh
was arayed against that phalanx. In consequence
OF the untlring perseverance OF Mr IaiImaoge anu
his friends, the whig party obtained the ascendan-
cy IN this State In 1888, and was trumphanty car
RED through the campaign OF l84O. elecung wing
President and Congress, and whig Governor and
Legislature in this State


After IN hs whs party s1%s into pGwer what
nanimous act of re-appointing Mr.. TalImadge TO
the United States Senate, deemng it an act Of
great liberality on their part, and fully compensa
had rendered 10 the wings Who, ask, but Mr.
Talmadge himseh gave them the power to make
. Senator? wasthrough his fundamentally that
the whig party were more indebted tor their sue
cess than TO any other man, and IN my judgement,
barely making him Senator was pltiful compen
ss,ion for tic services which he had rendered.


After completing the overthrow OF Mr. Van Ba-
feeling sha, they had accomplished the object Of
their organization, retired from the political held,
and left the wings :" ab oso," TO watch over the
victory which they had been instrumental IN
achieving, and how we'll they have succeeded In
retaining the advantages gained by that victory,
the subsequent elections give the answer.


Very soon after General Harrison's inaugura'
ancy over the President, and nearly all the Off
ces in this city were filled by the especial frends
of that gentleman. Senator Tallmadge was not
allowed TO have voice in any appointment that
was made in this State, indeed his influence was
considered rather detrimental than Otherwise, and
no conservative was permitted to hold any Office
while the Webster influence lasted. Now, ask,
is it natural to suppose, that the conservative,
ty had offered to their leader. would feel disposed
to buckle on their armor in ls44, and fight the bat
tie for the wing cause as they did In lS4O: Is II
aot more natural to suppose that some OF them
would re main neutral, and others return to the de-
,orty nty of Of them hem have voted for Mr. Polk.


Before the assembling OF the whig convention at
Baltimore, in May last, Mr.. Clay and very many
Of the gentlemen who were selected as delegates,
were advised by judicous politicians that the State
of New York could only be carried against the
democrats by the same influences that were brought
to bear in l84O, and in order to accomplish the
same organization that existed during that CAM
paign, il was important that Mr.. Tallmadge should
be nominated for Vice President on the tlcketwith
ID,
Tallmadge would probably be candidate for the
Vice Presidency, James Watson Webb and Chas.
King came out in their respective papers and de-
nounced Mr.. Talmadge with all the abuse that
they were masters of, and am sorry to say that
scarcely whig paper could be found that possess
ed independence enough to resent the gross at
tacks which these papers had thought proper to
make.


In all human probability, these papers were con-
sidered by the convention as speaking the senti-
ments Of the wing party Of this State, and no man
could be found who had independence enough to
present the name OF Mr.. Tallmadge as candidate


The whig party, feeling great confidence in the
popularity Of Mr.. Clay, thought there were enough
sab 0vo'' wings to elect him trumphantly, without
the aid of the conservatives.


l am decidedly OF opinion that the defeat of the
whigs at the recent election, is more TO be attrl
buted 10 the vulgar abuse of the conservatives by
the American, and Courier and Enquirer, than to
any other cause


The State OF Maine has also been lost to the
wings in consequence Of the same proscrptive
course, pursued by the whig party to one OF the
leading conservatives of that state. Other instances
might be enumerated in which attempts have been
made by Webster's omnibus load OF pipe layers 10
run over the little wheel barrow load of conserva-
tives. trust, however, that have assgned rea-
sons enough tor one article, and may have Occa-
sion to aude to this subject again on future
casion. WHIG OF lS4O.
