was al that moment Gas all belicyed) cnveioped
by hostile force Of immensely superior numbers,
threatening lis entire destruction.
They voted the Supplies just as they would
have voted money 10 redeem our cuunirymen
from captivity il they had been captured while
invading Mexico under Mr.. Folks orders. And
SO far from voting for The lying Preamble" ere-
ry Hhlg in each House roted to strike oat; but
The majority overbore them and kept il in. The
testing against the Preamble as an impudcn
daslardly falsehood.
2 The Southern Wing Senators stand on re.
cord, as the Representatives would have done had
The opportunity been afforded them, as voting
unanimously against ANY Extension yiafcrer oil
our National Territory. OF conrseIhal excludes
lSlarc Territory. True, The Southern Members
generally voted against Inc Wi!mot Pfoviso, as
needless and oppressive 10 their constituents say
ing, "If we are 10 take Territory by conquest. we
shall insist thai our section has lis fair pfopor-
tion" But We know from personal intercourse
with many il not most Of them that Ecy rant no
more Slaue Territory, nor any more Territory al
all.
Blu, The question now perdins is na al all be-
tween Southern Ways and their opponents, bu
The uunkers shufiled aside, choked down, rode
over, and utterly refused 10 pass al their late
Stale Convention resolution adyerseto The Ex-
tension OF Slave Territory The Wigs took up
that re,y resolution and passed il by unanimous
pole. So in our County Conventions aud ward
Meetings. How can cur correspondent ask
clearer, broader, palmer issue than this
g. II our friend really en;erians any doubt as
10 the sentiments oil the Wings with regard 10 The
origin, character and objects OF this War, will
he be so good as TO call on The twenty OF thirty OF
his Wing friends most convenient 10 him and
ask each 10 state what he thinks Of the War
We believe he will be satisfied by III. time nc
has asked the first dozen.
The late meeling in La Fayeile Hall vas COM
posed of One Thousand persons, not near one
Twentieth OF The Wing Voters OF This Civ. The
readers OF The Cour,er & Enquirer had teen es-
piessly exhored 10 come there; those OF The
Ifi5nnH had been warned that The hall vas one
OF no capacity, and advised 10 stay n their
Wards if they could do any good there. Every
body understands that The more Religious, quiet,
peaceably disposed portion OF The Wing pally is
moi that portion most numerously represented in
a Mass Meeting, unless in time Of great excite
menl. And yet in that meeting, viii all ihs
advantage OF a speech in favor OF The Webb Re
solutions, which was heard in perfect silence
while all reply was prevented by the violent Yell
ing OF hundred or so-who had doubtless come
out Of Tammany Hall since Col. WEBB did
there was in our judgment clear majority
against The Webb Resolutions. Besides he few
hundred persons who yelled for them 10 thai
Hall, we do not believe there are four hundred
more nominal Wings in their favor in Tie City,
nor four hundred in The State.
4. BY voting the Wing Tickle, you wjR not en-
dorse the Webb Resolutions. They are regular
Tammany from beginning 10 end, ana would
have passed M.re by one unanimous veil. The
Wings, as one Of their resolutions just before
unanimously passed, expressed il, oaiht Carnage
and Conquest and love Justice and Peace. II
you are Of the same mind, why not vote wi'a
them III Ed. Tribune.
