III, address Of Tie Uhig CeatraI Committee
;snetin our power say, whether the Central Com
r,,,,sr appointed by the late Republican Convention
- Vr,na will feel it their duty to take any notice of
,bs Address wh.ch appeared in the Wing of Wednes.
J,v stoned by B. W. LEIGH and Co meeting was
"aHs5 lar Wednesday evening" but the day was nclc-
mont few attended and the majority of them seemed
n think that the game was scarcely worth the candle,
Tho yt,upe!ayc strain of invectlve in which the VIII
-, nj that address has INDUCED, in denouncng the
,n,bors Of the late Address Of the Republican Central
Committee is calculated, If not designed TO preclude
-onlc from men who feel no disposition to handy cpl
,5,,s Ir,h hun and his Committee The Wing Ad
6rass contains no argument which has not already
icon rentcd but il consists of fiat denias OF well
,,b,shed facts and ridiculous denunciations of the
,bo,s Of the Republican Address, for mag mary insults
which the writer gaantlv ''hurls back (as he sup.
rosps} upon those who had not beloved SO much as
,gss;go ttonght upon him and his committee. We
syey positively for one humble member OF that Com
aee and the most active ofthem have declared that
whatever these gentlemen might think OF their "mon-
.rous Importance IN the political world no, the sha
dow Of their magnificent orb had crossed their lmag
nation The names Of the Republican Central Com
,ee are known to their fellow citizens The members
al tia, Committee Though all were not present at the
meeting which adopted it, doubt willing TO let the
psope Of Virginia decide how far they, any OF them
deserve the language which the fury and bigory Of
rav zeal have applied to the authors Of their Address
and whether the language IN which It Is expressed,
was really intended 10 cast any mputatlon upon he
no,irss OF the great mass of Gen HarrisonS support
sfs or upon those on'y s'who have taken HIM up
NAE instrument TO work out their own advantage =
Who believes, that the great of either party are
acuatcd by such selfish consideration the rorn
siairs writer OF the Wing Address seems 10 suppose
charged upon hun and upon every man, woman and
cult who belongs to his party On the other hand,
can any be credulous rs TO believe, that the grea
tGd5S of the Wing party among whom we certainly
d no, include the Central Wing Committee at Rich
monll did not take up Gen Harrison as mere nStru-
m,m work out their own advantage What response
would tie of those who have been so averse
u lacnr nilitarv chicftans tho cabinet, and those
who have already designated Mr. Clay the successor
Of Cen HARRISON make TO this enquiry: But, the writer
oi the Wing Address has worked himself INTO "mon-
srros paSsun BY the strange conceIt, that the words
Il. has quoted were designed to apply Southern HhgS
because orsooth the authors of the Republican Address
express; some surprise that any Southern man should
susaim Gen Harrison. Il is not possible, we should
ank for any man hose mind is not Supplied by party
rlncur and who will Candidly examine the context and
language of the Republican Address, not TO perceive
that i, wi bear construction directly the reverse OF
,ha, winch has been given to it By the writer of the
VIM Address What is the language Of the Repub-
can ADDRESS. II states g that VIM III Harrison has
been nominated for the Presidency by the faction of
Abo!on,stS, and MtS, to" an opposition 10 me r0tc ~
trsg member of The nominating body "rho betonged 10
s,arthotdian suite And again. in referring to the ar
grmens Of their opponents they say, you required
moreover 10 believe that Wan II Harrison belongs not to
tie mad and parrcide sect OF the Abotionists, although
he has halscf proclaimed ms enrolment III an ASsoc-
Of AboltionrSS at the early are OF II years,
Is prou. Of his superior tcrvor III that tanaclSm, &c.
Notwithstanding this PLAIN language, which can admit
oi ~ demonstrations which asserts that Gen. iiarr
was nominated IN opposition 10 the vote OF every
Southern Wing member, and admits that The wings,
Southern Wings of coursc had been contcndng that
h" wa> no hb"tonist, it is asserted by the writer OF
Address had charged that the Southern HMgs well
knew the charge OF Abolitionsm against Gen llarr-
10 be irHlf such really the intention oil the
authors oftc Republican Address, after their previous
emissions the very charitable writer OF the wing Ad-
dress ought rather to have commlsserated their SIM
Iacrtr than 10 have arraigned their veracity Why
the Wing Central Committee should have conceived
such charge against the Southern Wings, as they
have taken much pains 10 reiute We are at some
loss t. conjecture. Are Mog the men who brought on
Con Harrison a. 4 canddatcs BY no means The
universal notification If not disgust, with which the
nomination OF Gen. Harrison at first received by
the Southern Wings is well known. Tier rO'ce was
cnyey lost IN the Harrisburg Convention, and most
reluctant assent has been since given to that nomna-
ton by the whole Wing party of the South as VIII be
shown at the election III November, notwithstanding
al! the VAN Boosting and bravado which We now hear Ia
tie contrary Whether the address OF the Wing Cen
ital Committee contains much ma!Igmty, slang and
nonsense its dgnfed author lnputes TO the author
Q! the address of the Republican Central Committee
We shall not stop to enquire Perhaps tue chaf g
might more properly lay at his own door. 1t may be
the rogue first CRYING out thief The very accusation
involves al least much slang and nonsense, as he Is
pleased TO attribute TO our Committee. There is as
much art its Remuneration, as II ascribes TO us
hat does rather strange, that the hrm nerves o.
us author should have been much shaken by wha
he has been pleased to term, "slang and nonsense i
slang and nonsense" have so highly excited HIM. We
viii try the effect of few brief answers TO some
Of ms enquiries, or rather his lordy demands. ANY
reply from the Republican Central Committee con'e
only re,era,e the charges and proofs Which, nave aiFes
dE been exhibited in such bold relief by the Address
Tie late Republican Convention and which as YET S'aho
NAr"tuted But, a call is again made tor evidence
o. the charges of Federalism and .7botHomSm, agas
General HARRISON we will refresh the memory OF the
Writer otthe Wing Address with some extracts from 90
