,bs south Carolinians have imprudentiy given Ut
,s,aree 10 their indignant feelings, in the senti-
,nsns 81 freely quoted by the managers OF the
Club House. The politicians oil the Ctio-
House heard Me- McDuliie, in his speech
recently delivered in this city, d,Savow 'heSe
sentiments. Mr.. Calhoun emphatically rcpa-
dates them. Notwithstanding these facts, The
Wings of Richmond have the temery 10
charge not only the authors OF these sentiments
with disloyal,y 10 the Union but the 'io'f 1.a. "a.
.:" meaning thereby the Democracy OF Tie uni-
I'D States, with wish and design 10 dismem3er
these States To deny this charge, in respectful
language is hardly due 10 the authors of the afro
ciolis calumny. We say, therefore, that the Polk
party in this State as everywhere else, are sound
aon this vital question; tha, the charge, 50 far as
il is intended 10 embrace The Democracy of VIZ
.,inia, is sroSlV and R3nahfcdtg tat@.
The politicians of the Club House have never
heard in any of our meetings, nor seen in any ol
onr journals, any other indication OF feeling, but
that of the most devoted love and veneration Tor
our Federal Union. The charge OF Disunion
AGAINST the "Polk Party" is ofthe devices OF The
Club House, TO brighten the patriotism oil Inc sou'h
to neu;ralize the astounding indications OF popu-
lar favor. which the Texas question is every where
br;n,ina TO the ''Polk P0tu' They, and their
Dictator. are sinking into the deep sea OF popular
