"The debate has assumed new form IN Inc HOUSE
to.day Alter d,sposue of Mr.. Davs's resolution, the
House went into Committee Of the Whole for the pnr-
pose Of referring the several parts Of the age TO the
opn,opriate committees Mr.. Cddings, the Ohio ABB
Iionisi party encouraged IN varlnus ways, ny me
Iorolocos The North as was also NatVish anu o'nei
isms, opened the debate aircsh.'
We have never seen more fnsdous para
graph Than The above which we clip from The
Washington correspondence Of The Wing. II mol
only conceals he fact that Gddings, The notorious
Aboli,onsi, is rabd Wing, and, as such, has
lraversed New England with John z. Hale. in or
der 10 concentrate the Abolition vote upon The
Whic cause; but il intimates that this same Ia
matte is in utilization with The Democrats Of the
North Now, the whole country must know that
Giddings is a leading Wing from Ohio, and was
elected by The Wings, and warmly opposed by
The Democrats. For all his sins and oulrA ges
upon The Constitution, and viluperalon upon The
South, the Wings are responsible. Indeed, On the
occasion referred to above, he called upon his
brother Wings in the House 10 denouncc The Ad-
minislralion, and oppose The Var. Was he
denounced by his Wing associates ior his trea-
sonable condnrl2 Were they not as dumb as
oysters And was il not reserved for Messrs
Payne OF Alabama and Johnson OF Tennessee
leading Democrats, 10 expose his lactious and dis
graceful language, 10 defend The course Of the
American Government, and vindicale the jus
lice of the war with Mexico2 And YET we see a
Wing partisan broadly Insinuating that this no
torious Wing Abolitionist of Ohio was, in some
way, associated in feeling with The Northern De-
mocracy
This correspondent OF the Wing perverted
The plainest truths, when he sneered al the Loco
iocos of the North" as Encouraging" Abolition
ism, Nativism, and other isms Have we not al
ready shown The noble stand taken by The Demo
Gratis OF Massachusetts in defence of the rights Of
the Souh2 Did we not al The same time, BY way
OF contrast. present the course OF the Wing parry
OF The same State, as proof Of a quasi associalion
on their part with The Liberty party2 The Wings
not only assailed the influence Of The slaveholding
power which The Constitution gives The South,
but in their State address, they sole,nn!y declare
that The Liberty party is mainly made up Of the
Wings and tina, their views and objects are sub.
s,anlially The same. They made advances TO The
while the Democrats, standing upon the compro-
mises OF The Constitution, denounced unsparlngly
lie course OF The Liberty party as mischievous
and fatal 10 The Union.
The charge OF Nativism against the Northern
Democrats cannot be sustained in a single in
stance. Ii is the Wings who have, on ccTtaio
occasions, allied themselves with The Naive fac.
ion and carried the large cities OF New York and
Philadelphia. The Democrats have always e.
chewed the narrow-mnded party.
But there are "oihee isms" 10 which The liberal
and accurate correspondent Of the Wing alludes
in connection with the Northern Democrats
The reference is a mosr fatal one for it is fresh
in the memory Of every reader that The :ecenl
apparent defea! of the Democracy OF New York
was the bitter fruit Of the union between the
Wings and Anti-Renters. So undeniable is this
proposition, that the N. Y. Courier, leading
Wing journal, denounced The movemen, in The
mos, indignant terms, and declared that success
by such means VS. disgraceful triumph Of tex
pediency and dishonesty" Gov Wright Tor his
starn discharge Of duty in Furnishing The Anil
violation oil law no orcer, mate Tic target ior
that parry; and the Wings uniting in the facious
assault, defeated The Democratic party. But, I'M
less We are deceived il will, 10 the Wings, be a
worse Than Pyrrhus victory, lJr il will, in The
end lead 10 thorough overthrow Of Wing lead
ers and Wing principles in The Empire STATE
We cannot believe that the people OF that Stale
will uphold party which owes its success 10
a,riumph over moral and social law and order.
So much for the laundering charges OF the
Wings correspondent. He has entirely misrcp-
resented the whole snhec'; and We have thought
it proper to inform our readers that Giddngs, so
far from being "encouraged" By The Democrats,
is warmly opposed BY them, and still remains
bitter Wing Abolilionist, denouncing the Demo-
cratic party, and calling upon The Wings OF Con-
gress to put down The Administration and oppose
