The Wings Of the South.

is among the most notifying con-
sideraiions connected with the disastrous
result Of the Presidential contest, that
while on the Texas Question the Wings
of the South have IN the main stood
firmly and manfully on the same patriot
&c ground with their friends at the Moth,
they with us have been Overborne and
defeated by Northern votes. In con
sequence ofa union between the open
aud avowed friends Of Perpetual Slavery
at the South and the party at the eNorh
which claims to be, par excellence, the
ally Of Freedom and Progress, the real
friends Of Liberty and Humanity at the

the Patriotism in the face Of the most
appalling obstacles, to strugg le maniully

lerests, hayeihe modification to find that
all their struggles have been in vain

those at the North whose votes have
helped TO indie, this dangerous if not ia

The Mobile Advertiser, and which may
be taken as an indication Of the feeling
that prevails among the gallant Wings
of the South in regard 10 the fraudulent
scheme Of Annexation.
