we commend the whole article oi The Gazette
10 our readers, as a specimen OF The b'uer nos
,;,i,y of The Northern Wing press 10 The adihis-
sion OF Texas. To defeat tnal great measure
they would sacrifice al party riumrhs, and even
surrender The ,l,.,ac ana hoaorS Of Whissery.-
Unucky is thai Southern Wing, who has evinced
the slightest leaning towards Texas! His name
is inscribed on the 'Blacl, Book, ard in VAN
viii he look 10 Northern Whsgery for the faint

shutting and dcogmg-a far OF coming Up 10
the question and an elior. 10 obtain popularity by
a middle course Had Tennessee, III the Senate,
adhered 10 the true Wing ground ON the Texas
question, annexation would not have been ac-
complshed and we should not ROW have been
on the brink o: war. There was WANT OF r.
DEITY 10 the Wing party, in The action OF
the passage of the hybrid resolutions, proposing
an alternate proposition, which any man OF tore
sight and acquainted with The character Of Tyler,
might have known would never be regarded BY
him The yielding Of Mr.. Milton Browns rcso-
luton was The entering wedge, which was driven
into the Wing phalanx and destroyed It's unity
on The important question. Thai this course
was no; approved b. lie Wings OF Tennessee
has been shown BY the result Of the recent cleo
lion, and il will, we trust, prove warning in lu
lure 10 all tcmpofi-,ng politicians. The spring
set by the Locos TO en,rap the Wings was dex-
lerously sprung, but The 'chafi' thrown before the
net In The shape of annexation resolutions, as they
passed Congress, should mol have caught old
birds. In vicw Of all ,he circumstances there
fore, again rcpeat that lec heartily rcjotccd
al the result in Tennessee bringing about, as it
does, the defeat of Mr.. Foster. Let The Wing
party and its representatives hereafter adhere 10
the bald, broad platform OF principle, and never
desert il Tor mere political expediency. BY his
course the modification ri d.icM may bearered.'
