Wing parry NDuh and South have always been
united on Ibis point. They Opposed Texas until
the tral came, then S0uihera Whigs reat for

We think our friend Of the Sentinel has not
done the Wings Of the South "exacl usiice" IN
tho above. By referring to the vote Of the Sen.
nate February 81, l545, on Benlon's Texas reso.
luuons, we hud that Messrs. Archer, Barrow
bayard, Borren, Clayton, Criuenden, Jarn5gan
Mangum, Moorehead, Pearce, Ryes, all voted
against annexation. But three Wing Senators
voted Tor aHnexalion-aud Merrick Of Nd, y1led
IN laVor ol annexation in direct violation Of reso.
luuons passed by the Legislature Of his SIa,e.
ln the House, buIa single Wig, Mr.. Dellel Of
Alabama, voted for the Senate amendment Of the
Texas resolutions, and b1lIwo LocUfocos, DAVIS,
oi New York, and Hale Of New Hampshire
voted against il.
In the language Of q correspondent Of the
Herald we say 'Ihai the South isnol hundred.h
part as much 10 blame for this fragrant violation
(annexa,ion Of Texas) Of the Constitution. as
are the NorIh and Vest" In the Senate. OF
the nays, l2 were from Slave States, and IS from
the Free. OF the ayes ID were from Slave
States and l3 from Free. Oi the 27 yeas "a
were locoiocos. OF the 25 nays, every one
were Wings from the North and South.
Our correspondent "Franklin" in his letter oi
Feb 90. l845, says:
"EIad one Democrat voted against the resolu.
lions the measure would have failed. Who
would have supposed that every Democratic
Senator from the free States would have thus
sanctioned the truth of the declaration, that 'lhe
Democracy Of the North are the natural allies OF
The Shareholders Of the South" But il is even
SO. To this declaration they have responded
Amen, and Amen"
In their opposition TO the Annexation OF Texas
the Wings of the South did their duty, and were
true to the Constitution, and 10 the principles Of
the Wing party. The Wing representatives
from the Slave States we're voted down by the 10.
coloco Representatives from the free States.
The Wings Of the Sou,h are now opposed to
any more territory being acquired.
The Richmond Wing, the Nashville Republi.
can, and Louisville Journal, oppose the acqusi.
ton Of any more territory.
We now say 10 our friend Of the Sentinel, in
view of the past, and OF the action of both par.
lies, the only hope of the country is in the uni.
ted. energetic action Of The Wing party Of the
country, North, South, Eas, and Vest Aside
from The Wing party. we have no hope. The
whig party from Maine to the Nuoces, must be
united, and must 90 forth TO battle with a banner,
inscribed with Wing principles, and this must be
first.
NO MORE TERRITORY, EITHER BY
CONQUEST OR By PURCHASE, AND No
MORE SLAVERY.
The friends of freedom cannot trust the De.
mocracy-they have proved themselves false 10
the principles Of Iibery--false to the Consliru.
tion, and true to nothing but TO Slavery, aud their
parry.
Let the Wing party be united, and all will yet
be weIl.-CieU. Her.
