| slider the man who has done all this standlhg
by and consenting' at the treacherous proscnPuoh
of hundreds OF Wings because they would not con-
sent to be also traitors-sitting check by lowi IN

to by which the Nations hopes were blasted, and
the ruhes. proscriber of those whose lndetatlgable
exertions elevated him to power, to make way ior
! their bitter adversares-we are to consider this

Of Wing principles and director of Wing move
ments Friend Justice, you ask OF US too much .
Nav, sir, you compel us to ask IN turn, On
what principle does Mr.. Webster return to and
lssimilate with the Wing party? Is it on that
Of cordial support Of the present Tariff, and a
determination to stand by it See his Baltimore
Speech On the Bank question /? He has stood
by the Vetocr of two Bank bills passed by Con-

tribution2 He stood by John Tyler when ne
struck down that great and far reaching measure
| Of National benefcence, has never indicated any
dissatisfaction with that Veto, and we believe did
not even demonstrate against it IN Cabinet Coun-
Gil. Indeed, friend Justice, should MIR. Web
ster adhering to the sentiments on all the great
practical questions Of the day which he has most
recently avowed, be now recognized and deferred
to as consistent, straightforward Wing through
the last two years-one who has been always with
US and for US, and every way entitled to act as
our leader and our counselor--the great unso-
phisticated mass Of the Wing party, who do not
we'll see how man can so long ride two stceds

You say, sir that if the Wings had followed
MIR. Webster's advice, they would have had

How do you know this Do you not rest at
best on John Tyler's word and what is that
worth Did he not urge Mr. Webster and 9TH
crs to get up and push through the Fiscal Cor
poration bill and did he not Veto it soon as
1t was passed Did he not suggest and insist on
the uncouth name, and then make that name
one of his objections in his Veo7 Has he not
since declared that he ,oould not have signed Mr..
Ewing's bill Weonce thought somethin; might
be made by humoring him, but that opinion is
changed by the course of events. We could have
mad no Bank whatever but by promising to re-
elect him President, and then we might have had
fifty but that was more than we could afford TO
pay. A leading Wing principle forbids it.
We come now to the main question the
position of MIR. Webster in regard to the Pres
dency. Justice cavs at our remark that the
Wing party has fixed upon mot nominated) its
candidate for President! Where are his eyes?
Of the thousands of Wing Conventions State,
County, and otherwise, held within the last two
years, what one has nominated any other than
Henry Clay for next President? What three in
dicated hesitancy, divided opinion Of the
six hundred Wing journals in the Union, at least
orty-nlne- -fifteths are openly, zealously, for Mr.
Clay. Was ever party decided and unanimous
its designation of candidate if the Wing party
IS not now so? Is it too much, then, TO say
that the Wing Delegates to Baltimore will re-
spect the choice of their constituents, instead
of making another that they will be governed
by the instructions which euery one yet elected
has received to support Mr. Clay Is it too
much to say that he who at this day attempts to
,et up difference among US on this subject does
not SO act from single and ardent desire for the
success of the Wing party
But the growing Anti-Slayery feeling at the
North, it is clearly intimated by Justice is the
engine which is relied on by Mr. Webster and the
few who are misleading him, to compel the selec-
ton of another Wing candidate than Mr.. Clay
for next President. Now we respect this sent-
ment, SO far as is sentiment and not an engine
10 effect sinister endS--we share in it, and trust
IN our own good time and manner to do some
thing to promote its triumph. In the season OF
calrnness which will succeed the next Presidential
Election we hope more fully to commend to the
understandings and consciences of the South, as
we have measurably done hitherto, the facts and
arguments connected with Negro Emancipation
IN the British Islands and elsewhere, proving that
wisdom, Justice, humanity, and sound policy, re-
quire that they also should commence the good
work of Emancipation. We shall hope to speak
to them as to friends and BRETHREN and be listened
to as a friend. But suppose the Wings should
follow the counSels of the small clique who
are now working on this Anti-Slavery feeling
to subserve their own selfish ends, and set aside
the noblest citizen of the South because of the
existence of Slavery there, could we then hope
to be heard or needed at the South Would
not the answer come burning from the heart OF
that iervid clime-" Y ou hypocri,es! you preach
to US against Slave holding. and vote to reduce
as to sIavery-to rob US of the equal rights and
privileges guaranteed to US by the Constitution
