2 The Southern Wing Senators stand on record,
"a the Representatives would have done had the
opportunity been afforded them. as voting unani-
roon,lv AGAINST lSr Entensi0n rh0ferer Of our Ma
tionsl Territory. OF course that excludes Stare
Ta,ri,orv True. the Southern Members generally
voted against the Wilmot Proviso, as needless and
oppre..ive to their constituents, saying I'll We
are to take Territory by conquest we snall INSIST
that our section has its fair proportion. but we
know from personal intercourse with many Il not
most of them that h1y iraHf no more Stare lem
torn. nor any more Territory at all.
But the question now pending is not al all be-
tween Southern Wigs and their opponents bu'
between the Wings and Hunkers Of Ne''- forS-
The Hunkers shufied aside, choked down rode
over and utterly refused to pass at their late state
Convention q resolution adverse TO the Extension
Of Slave Tsrritory The Wings took up that req
resolution and passed Il by n unanimous rote. %
in our County Conventions and Ward Meetings.
How can our correspondent ask clearer broader
palmer issue than this

the sentiments of the Wings with regard to the orr

first dozen.
The late meeting in La Fayette Hal was com
posed Of One Thousand persons, not near one treh
aefk Of the Wing Voters Of this City. The reader
Of the Courier s. Enquirer had been expressly eS
horted 10 come there those Of The Tribune ha
been warned that the hall was one Of no capacity
and advised to stay in their Wards ifthey could d
airy good there Everybody understands that IN
more Religious, quiet, pesceably disposed porto
! of the Wing party is not that portion most nume
ou.ly represented in Mass Meeting, unless IN tim
of great excitement. And yet in that meeting wit
all the advantage Of a speech in favor OF the w eb
Resolutions which was heard in perfect silence
while all reply was prevented by the violent yellin
of hundred or so-who had doubtless come out {
Tammar,y Hall since Col Webb did-there was
our Judgment clear majority against the WEB
Resolutions Beside the few hundred persons WI
yelled for them in that Hall, We do not believe thei
are four andred more nominal Wings IN their u
vor in the City. nor four hundred in the state.
4 BY voting the Wing Ticket you rW not e
dorse the Webb Resolutions. They are regul'
Tammany from be ginning to end, and would ha'
passed there by one unanimous yell The Whig
a. one of their Resolutions Just before rn0Hiraous
passed expressed it, loathe Carnage and Conque
and love Justice and Peace. II you are OF II
same mind, why not vote with theml I'd. Tn
