should they assume a non-political posi-
tion, as they recently threatened their
purity friends they should do il they did
not support them better, powerful
motives truly, we are candid 10 confess.
They also say something about the
"personal dislike many members" OF the
Wing party have for rus, SC. The pub
lie We opinc are not quite so green as
not 70 sec through this remaik.--A de-
sire to produce or encourage such u
feeling as they speak of, would very
naturally prompt the very preposse'sing,
genfiemunly and GGable publishers of
that pnpsr to make an insinualion Of
this sort, whether it be true or false
Wba. the writer in the Republican has
particular reference to, we know not,
und care less. There afe, we know,
Evolves in sleeps clothing" in every
party, and we presume always have
bern, and always will be. Be that rs
it may, however, the public have no
interest in such discussion, even IL
there was any apology for it, and we
will not now unnecessarily intrude 1t
upon them, but pass to very brlei
consideration Of tho question ut issue.
The writer in yesterdays Republican
says--''we dsfy any man TO point o"t Il
single paragraph Or SENTIMENT IN
ha, article [the article headed Triumph
of Whisgcry," copied into our last pa
pc,] TO rhieh REAsoNADLE political
opponent rould object" We are to
understand then, from the above, that
the Wings must aeQnissce, as 4 matter
OF course, being on the opposite side,
in all the ubumnabie doctrines Of loco
fncoism, whether they approve OF them
or not We beg leave to differ howev-
er, with the Republican writer, and trust
the Wings generally will be very likely
10 be Of the same opinion with ourselves.
We urc aware Of the generous and for
giving spirit Of the Wings, but we were
not aware that they were quite so r1a-
sonaLle us to even taciHy admit tho truth
oft SEN NTlMENTS Of their political
opponents. Upon what ether ground
Than the sentiments and doctrines advanced d
and supporic by the tools Of Van Bu-
ron, did they suppose the Wings to OBJ
jeci: To argue such n point, would
be ridiculous truly. Wethought, how
over, that we had shown some cause in
our last, why Me Wkigs even, could
reasonably object 10 Me sentiments so
boldly asserted by the sage Republican
writer.
All that we have hitherto said in re-
laton 10 the political course Of tho Re-
publican, in common with other loco
foco journals, has been from deep
sense Of duty to our country, as well as
to the peculiar interest ofthe communl-
ty in which we live, Notwithstanding
the falso construction they have seen fit
TO put upon our remarks, 10 shield their
iniquty, aud answer their own private
spleen, altogether unprovokcd in the
first instance, towards us. The para
graph we quoted from that paper in our
last, (but more particularly the article
itself and which is represented To be
so perfectly harmless, contained the
substance Of an attack upon the vital
interests Of the citizens Of this place,
and it was only for the purpose of show
ing in precisely their own language,
their avowed principles and sentiments
in relation to important subjects in which
this community have deep stake, that
induced US to copy il. We have not
time now to 60 into full analysis of
said article, as they have invited US. if
= il were necessary to prove our position
blu, in connection with the paragraph
we pointed out last week, we in7ite at
ten,ion to the following from the same
article -
Even iftlie Democratic party should
be in a minority in Congress, there will
be n sufficient number of southern Wing
members opposed to these measures,
