nbcra,ions of this grand Federal Convention Sure
J.. sn-elv orr sOj.dSGnt Wings must he IN as pad

hound appetite for power and place. they evnce
BY their overt acts that they too are ank absolutely
hnk 1t is natural that our brethren should abuse
Ms because We are determined to "sink or SWIM
with our principles such conduct say, is qui'e pro-
per on their part, since they will only sink or swim
with Office AS an evidence of this compromising
spirit witness the conduct of the Southern delegation
70 this grand Conventions who, while they hypocrt'cal-
" cant about Estate Rights, are black Federalsts at
heart witness also the ease with which they agreed TO
the nomination of Cen Harrison, who - 'mbued with
the darkest Federalism, and who Is the candidate OF the
"Aboltioaists withal How lucky and glorious, them
is this snominaton for the South and what "aspsah-
able gratitude ought 10 be felt BY every Southern man
towards those despcable mushroom aristocrats who
generously left their homes i'll The depth of winter and
whose nomination is, fear, calcula ted IN effect to
transfer the South over to the Aboltion'sts
Yes, repeat it, let the South, the whole south,
scru.inze the conduct Of these gentlemen' ne wnoe

Convention undeniably prove, that one of the GRAND
EFFECTS which its members may produce, was, 10
propi,iate the favour and 10 obtain the votes OF all the
Abotonsts and fanatics in the Union. Every thihs

10 the schedule which was published by tne J" nch-
mond Wing and which it had copied from other fedc,
"a! papers this schedule, which pretcnds to foclei
wha, States will probably 90 for Mr. an Buren, ana
and Gen Harrison. In this Wing catalogue, then,
every slave-hodng State except Maryland, is put down
Tor the former while they greedly claim nearly az the
North and partcularly those States where Aboonlsln
sknown 10 be strongest Can there be better evidence,
say Of the contamination Of the bargain Just formed
between the fanatics and the Federal Wings For, CON
scos that they have betrayed the South conscious also,
that the effect known and duly appreciated, they
despite Their propensity for Dragging and lyng,) do not
dare TO claim single State from Virginia to Louisiana
Thus, them BY their own showing, their misconduct

Of the .ibotonist clear, positive and undcnia-
Biz the beams of the noonday sun Such is wing
patriotism, Such is Wing attachment to Southern IN
s;,utions such their devotion to State Rights !! For
addition Ia all this L.. it be borne in mind, that IN
Ohio, at least, the Wings have openly declared that
they stand identified with the tboli,ionsts as party
and their leading press IN Cincinnati has repeatedly
proclaimed and acknowledged it, Let it also be borne
IN mind, that Gen. Harrison represents IN his own per-
son every wish, every opinion and shade Of opinion OF
the Wings OF that State When this is considered,
nothing be clearer than that fit were possible to

dissolution of the Union because he would owe ms
the fanatics, and these would require the I'M
notation OF the South rcconpense tor their servI-

patriotic for the party who gave US an Abolition
