The Richmond Wing a. Co, will die game. They will
play the .H0rmiStS. till the last hour they fret upon the
hiecnoneerlng stagc.-The Wing is seized with the
iaIse prophets fury; and reads, in the election Of Van
Buren,, Abolition in The District,-a crusade against the
south,-a dissolution Of the Union,-or the murder Of
orr woman and children! Here is Agitation and Panic
for you, in the highest style.-The Telegraph follows up
the blow; fbs about what a Northern Van Buren, man told
him the other day-and predicts an lliad of woes 10 The
South.-Ihescm men are playing out their arts.-The plot
is, to gull the People, and defeat Van Buren.-Does any
Soulhron seriously believe, that ''the North can drive the
South to the wa!l:" Does not the North know better:
Do We not all know that as soon as they dare to lay their
hands upon the head Of black man in The District, much
less in the States, the South will he in arms, That the
Union cannot withstand the shock' Do we not know,
that Mr.. Van Buren, is as mucI, opposed to the Abolition
lists as the Soutllrons are? That his friends are with us
that he and they are pledged 10 stand by US, and put
down the Abolitionisls2

the folly Of Aboitionism-and declared that he was too
much a patriot to become one of its converts. But what

bia? Are we 10 put aside all these grave and solemn tes-
timoniuls, in compliment to these arrogant wiseacrcs Of
Norfolk?
One remark nore--and we have done! The Wing
Slang %whangers pretend TO say, that the Abolitionists are
friends to Mr.. Van Buren,. his 'lase as hell" Tappan
and his crew are ~avowedly opposed to him. The most
active and leading Abolitionists are all Wings. We know
the fact from 4 variety Of sources. 1t was but yesterday
that we were assured by a mos, intelligent and honor
able man from Pennsylvania, that such was uniformly
the case-that he did not know one leading Abolitionist
who was nota Wing, and an Anti Van Buren, man-and
that such were the politics Of all the distinguished Qua.
kers Of Pei nsylvanla-Th fact was notorious to the North
and he wondered how any man dared to assert the
contrary.-But the alarnists will go on with their sys.
tenn Of agitation, until the ldes Of November. Then we
shall have some little peace and some truth from the Wing
presses.
