tor and with Southern Wings oppos ny the Admnisrn-
ton Such are the men and the means which our OF
pnnents using. The South have more at stake in
This contest, than any portion of tho Union From the
Delaware to the farhest Of The Red Riverr"n
the Florida Key to the Upper Missouri, there ought
not, in this great struggle, 10 be divided opinion
They shall err beca they have not opportunities
Ia be rightly informed. The evidences of impending
dan ger thick around them. Their old aud faithful
friends, the Democrats of the North, Struggling N
their cause, while the South itself slumbrring,
WORSE in North Carolina, arc placing magazines Of
pow der in their own habitation.
We have read the Address to which our Cores
pondrnt refers The last Hartford Times repeats, that
it was issued from The office the Connecticut C0nrani,
the organ of the Harrison party in that State-iat II
was distributed the log CABIN in that city, Tues
day last to the members of the Wing State Conven-
ton who had assembled there to nominate a Harrison
Electoral Ticket, and that sent by them To every
part of the State This long handful republishrs the
"Southcrn Address, which It quotes as one OF those
strong Southern Appeals, which calculated to rouse
the Abol,ioniss against NJ. Van Buren,. The Adolf
ton authors of the handful state
Nor is the fact noticed at all, that in pledging him
self to the interests of the South Mr.. Van Buren, vo
lated every tie that naturally b0und him to the Synpa-
ies and institutions of The .North md sh0,red himself
recrean the best interests and most cherished prln-
cipes ofthe community in which he was born and edu-
ca ed and to whom he is indebted for all that he is
Nor are we reminded that, in thus .rdtuousiy selling
himself to siarerg he proved himself unworthy con
fnrnce in all respects, and had virtually said to the
nnon that he stood ready to barter at any time, the
dearest and sacred rights of the country to pro-
mole his own popularity, and secure Tie advancement
Of his party adherents.
Til, Abolition handful quotes with appreciation an
article signed "Common Sense, which thus reprobates
the pursued by some of the AboonIsts in Mas
sachusetts November last when they refused TO vote
for n Wing candidate for Congress-
"At second trial however he elected; but not in
time to reach Washington till after the organization oil
the House of Representatives. II is well known that
before the House organized, five members (Whig)
from New Jersey rejected by strictly party vote,
and BY minority of only two. Now had the Van Blu.
rem members referred TO from New York not been
there, there would have been tie But IT the Wing
candidates had been elected in their stead, then the
New Jersey members would have been admitted (as
in all right they should have been) by ma joy of two.
And had Mr. Baker of Massachusetts been there, tn,
majority would have been three. The House thus or
yanzed would have rejected the dIsgracefu Resolutions
which passed that body the 2sth January last sup
pressing the constitutional right Of Petition by the tr
umphant maorty of THREE. Whata victory that would
have been. when only one year ago, the "Atherton
rag passed the House by ma "rity of Ertyserrn.
THAT this calculation is correc will appeR from the
fact that every Wing member but one fror\ the non
slave holding States voted Ggnnst the Res buttons !;
while twenty-five Administration members from the
same section voted for them.-Four Wing members
from slave holding States, voted also against the Reso
lutions; while every Van Buren, member from the same
section voted for them.
uNo one can question the right of MIR. Smith and his
as Sociatcs-or that Of the Abu;nnists OF the sixth
disirc, in Massachusetts, 10 vote they did, not
vote al all as they may choose Bat IS this the best
way TO accomplish their object Have they gained
any thing by the they pursued IN The present
case Most obviously not. And less still would be
gained By distinct political organization"
The following is the thunder of the Address of the
Hartford Wing Ab"lrtionsts:
1--WE intend to give suifraGes for William Henry
HARRISON for the Presidency, and happy to make
our intention known thus publicly. We shall give hun
our suffragps too most cordially and conscienilonsly
sand in tie fuH Ha:c IF th0se facts which are brought
out, not in The Charter Oak, bnt in this address.
In word. the authors OF this Address strongly re-
commend TO the Abntonists of Connecticut 10 put
down their candidate, and unite with The Wings
IN voting for Gen Harrison, We wish We had VOICE,
that could penetrate the whole Southern country IN
the trumpet OF the Revelation, and tell them to
arcusc-awakc-nr b. forever fallen
