their example. He mag gull them by the letter o. i-:!;
but we should indeed BE- guils, ourselves, II we were TO
consider or publish that letter, as the true exponent Of
General Ilarrison's principles. We appeal to all ms
acts since, to the whole stream OF his opinions since,
to show how completely he misunderstood the re-
solutions Of '95, or how promptly he abandoned
them. Mr.. Newton may play the deInagoguc and
snpllist, as Mr.. William c.. Eiyes has done, over this So
litarv letter Of lc!2-but they cannot b%ambo"zic MS,
and what is more, they cannot humbug an intelligent
proplc.-Onc thing More we may say, III passing To
our "counciIlor and guide" We shall commence in
good earnest next week to examine Gen. HIS title TO
the character of a Republican and a State Rights
man. We shall devote several Nos. TO all his acts and
ooinions: and issue 10000 copies OF our Series III the
EugHircr and Tie Crisis, before the month is UP. If
Mr. y. can overthrow our facts and arguments by mis-
sionary speeches or BY rasl, resolutions, he is welcome
TO make the attempt. But he is not the first Don Quix-
otlc who has attacked a windmill.
The other resolutions Of the WrStmorcland meeting,
in which Mcssrs. Van Burcn's and Harrisons courses
on the Slavery question are equally misreprcscnted,
will be equally exposed in the Nos. we shall lav" the
honor to lay before the public. Meanwhile, that the

But the Wings are moving in other ways, besides
spouting speeches or spoutrng resolutions. We learn,
that they are flood ne the States with documents and
newspapers. On Saturday last, there was n small "a
thcring Of the people in Caroline cornty-and 10 there
were the Wing missionaries, with saddle bags loaded
with the YconIan, and other Like publications.. Mr.. Wise
has called, through his resolutions in the Wing Con
vcntion, for 30 good and true men from every county
their names to be collected and sent on to the
Whig members Of Congress. Is not the object pal
pable to all These fifty ccntnels are to receive
from the members Of Congress, speeches, reports, docu-
mcnts of all sorts, trash Of every description, uHdCr
fAeir fr0nks; and these 30 men; are, like so many
fountains, 10 flood their several counties with Wing
papers. No one can mistake Mr.. Wlsc's wise scheme
or the systematic organization which they are tl..s
inttsinr into all their movements. But IT viii not all
do, if our friends are up aud ADDING. Forcwarncd,

To communicate 70 Ms promptly and freely the doings OF
the Whigs-and they shall be exposed To tho vision Of
a free people. Only give US light; and a free press will
c circulate it amongst the community.
The Current. Sweeping Onwards!
The Wings seem TO be stripped Of much Of that bragg
rart air, which DISTINGUISHED them some ten DAYS 400,
