Whig National Caucus. readers
will remember how often we have assert
cd our belief that, as party, the northern
Wigs would reject or embrace any prin-
ciples or policy however corrupt and anti
republican, provided they could get into
office thereby. Facts bear us out in our
opinion as we can fully show. The great
object of these men is TO saddle Mr.. Web
ster upon the country as next President,
with his abolition, tariff, Bank, consoido-
ton principles Who than the northern
wings, were more pointed and justly Sc

zectictioneering tour through the Wes-
Fin States, making dinner speeches, fiat

gogue as nauseouly as could Mr.. Benton
himself, these same conscientious gentle
men herald all his movements as if the
very fate of liberty depended on the peo-
pies knowing when Mr.. Webster eat, who
he ute with, and what chat took place on
the occasion. But the most singular
movement Of the northern wings, one to
which the attention of the southern peo-
pie ought to be particularly directed, as
explaining the eagerness and violence OF
those men in denouncing MIR. Calhoun and
the State Rights party lately, is the pro-
ject of a NATIONAL Wing CAUCUS to nomi.

celve the unwary and render futile any

their corrupt caballing. Having pronoun.

the idea of having removed the only OBJ.

and ere their damning curses ofthe BALI.

directly to take from the people the right

government, are now the most noisy ad-
Vocates for Wig National Contention.
1t was foretold before the Baltimore
Caucus met, that Mr.. Van Buren, would be
nominated, because it was "packed iury;"
that the same will be the case with the
Wing Caucus we have not doubt--pauk
ed with Mr.. Webstcr's friends, he will be
its nominee. Can southern men of anv
political party consent to become partici-
pators IN this dark intrigue to sacrifice
the south to the north? We hope not;-
