NORTHERN DEMOCRATS AND NORTH
ERN WINGS


TALLY Southern party. We have repeated the
facts upon which Ibis belief Zone which we con-
Gdent;y eD,eriain) is founded. The histories OF
The Two parties carry the fact on their faces 50
Main that be who runs may read land lie way
iains MAJ, though !uoi may understand. The
known majority Of lie Wing parry is al the North;
and with me appliances furnished by National
Conventions They rule BY tie strength Of MAORI
ry all National Wing meetings. As proof If
this, we have To cite only that in 1910 was found
10 be matter q The las, importance that The
Whin candidate should I've made (for Southern sup
por) an Anli-Bank man. All, in this eivi-
sion o. The Uni,n, were Anli-Bank men, with bal
few exceptions. But now The Northern doctrine
OF "arong eorrmmcn" mas been adopted BY tie
"cypcdeEcy pary," and the w!olc Wing parry,
under The drill q Northern majority, has wheel
ed into The Fetefal phaanx. This they were
obliged 10 do orde
On he Teyasq question HE same suoscr7icncy TO
Northern diotaLon was manifested by the South
ern Wings. .ohn Quincy Adams, leading his
friends Of the forth, came forward as the great
opponent Of annexation. And upon what groundsl
starry. No NAN caS DENY rus. The whole
Wing party ofhe North, as far as we are in
formed wheeled into the lire, and their associates
Of the South were forced 10 do the same by The
omnipo,ence party drill.
In 1910 no Wing meeting and no Wing leader
could lie found oold enough-no not even Clay
himstl,-to daT 10 come forward as The advocate
OF mo:e project on than iho compromise &C; guar
anlied. Bu! Northern capitalists and Northern
politicians counermanded The order and mol on:
the great Harry bu; all The Sou hcIn Wigs hat
10 rcpcdialc The compromise and declare them
selves Tor Protection words which mos. OF them
would never have dared 10 utter before they were
drasooncd into by Northern majority.
Thus we see Ia, upon the three great questions
of Bank. Tariff, and the Annexation OF Tex
as, the Southern Wings have been forced to dress
by The line Of their Northern brethren. On other
occasions they lave been forced 10 90 The same
thing. II is unnecessary 10 mention Them here
The Texas issue is enough Tor our present pnr-
poses. When that was before The country, abo.
itionism exhibited It's cloven foo, without re-
serve, ard the Wing party, so far from beics
frightened, t!od in It's track. Since then, llt
Southern Wings hare used al their acuheS, ant
tasked Tie cunning 0? their RICH, nan!s, to prove
that we are no better than they ale: that whi''
their friends Of The North are willing 10 kiss III
lips of Abolilionism, the Democrats are willing
10 exhibit the same symptoms Of amalgama'lnt
affection" This accusation we soon, as w
have always scorncd it, Whatever The miseu'd
ed fanatics OF the North may 30, We will evei
spurn their embraces and re believe that ou
Democratic brethren on the other side OF Mason
and Dixon's line will do The same. Yea, even il
Massachusetts heIseii ouT principles have proven

Resoircg. That as lovers OF our country, we do
most heartily and gratefully rejoice al ihe sp!en-
did successes of The American arms in Mexico
that we recognise in those successes, not only The
skill. vaor and patriotism OF The forces employed,
but also The wise foresight The prudent provision,
and The indonilabe energy Of The Executive and
the Cabinet.
Rcsoiucd That we feicae The country, that
The principlcs of Justice and equal rights 10 oil in

mocratic Congress, in The repeal 81 The unequal,
unrigh,eous and oppressive tariff oil lsi2, and We
believe that while The new lailt VIII De found ade-
quale to the protection Of all interests which
ought to be protected, we hail il as an approxima-

cd commercial intercourse which we believe
will. at no distant day, bind all tie nations of
the civilized world in The bonds d common
brotherhood, carrying blessings to all, and alb
sir acting from the prosperity OF none.
R,@ired, That believing III system oil domcs-

listed al lhe formation Of our consliuiion-ihal
that constitution was the result 81 spirit Of
compromise and concession, in which the wise
patriots of the North as we'll rs OF The South, saw
al that time no danger. That believing that III
regard 10 this subject, we are no wiser than our
fathers were therefore
Resolped That we are willing 10 stand upon
the broad platform Of the constitution, believing ii
to be as perfect system of government as the
finite wisdom oil man can devise. That We can.
not bu view with alarm and de,esiation the in
