The Character Of WING Politicians, as
portrayed by "A leading WING.

Mr. GIDDGNs, the well known Whig-Abolition
member of Congress from Ohio recently made speech
at Concord, New Hampshire. We find portion of
that characteristic speech, in the Boston Wing, from
which we copy the following graphic portrait which
Mr.. G. draws of his Wing associates. 1t looks
straight into the faces and secret workings Of his
Wing brethren 1t pictures them out in flames of liv-
ing light:
Ck.T"TAose Wings. (says Mr.. Giddings,) srho hare
X got up this Increment an tdror Of General TAY-
~ LoR, kno,cing him to be in taror Of extending
H siarery, are men of desperate political fortunes
H ho hare become anxious TO share in the Spoils Of
0T Office they are ichO lcould sell their party

o. telligence of the people They btere The maSse,
@ to be politically corrupt those cho seek TO mis-
o. lead them. Thine will demonstrate their error
Such is the graphic picture drawn ofthese men B.,
one of their otn party-one who has enjoyed and who
stn enjoys the confidence of the Wing party 10 an al
most unprecedented degree. Can any Wing deny
this! Mr. GrDDINGs himself says:
81 have represented in Congress the strongest
Wing district an the Union for ten yedrS am TIL
oldest member on that floor but two; John Quincy ADJ
ans and Mr.. Rhett of South Carolina, the only
than have mine. And tell you that if every other
Wing district in this nation bows IN servie SUBJ
mission, that district will stand firm TO their princi-
pies of Liberty. | am authorized to say that. Nc
cause upon this earth viii extort vote from her
sons in favor of man that stands forth an advocate
for the extension Of the slaveholding power"
We rest. nOw-and leave these Wings of "despe-
rate fortunes to defend themselves, or own up.

quarters since the publication of Taylors Signal let
