THE WHOLE NORTHERN FEDERAL
PARTY FREE &OILERS.

We have charged over and over again thai
the whole Federal party in the free States are
openly and above board, " WILMoT FRovI-
s1oNIsTs," or :: FREE Sellers" We say we
have challenged the Federal press OF Norm
Carolina TO produce Wing paper published
in free State-a Wing speech made in free
State--or Wing address or resolutions en1a-
mating from Il Wing meeting held in 4 free
State, that does not adopt and advocate the
& WILMoT PRoyIso," or, as they call II at the
North, GREE SOIL" whenever the sube
of slavery has been introduced in such paper,
speech, or resolutions or addresses. Have the
Federal papers produced refutatlon to tins
charge! No, THEY HAVE NOT. Why, we
have read the speeches of number OF the
most prominent Wing orators, in which they
endeavored to convince their audiences that
the Northern Wing or Taylor party WERE BET
TER FREE SoIkERs THAN THE VAN buren,
FREE SO1LERs,>|On this point, we would ask
the reader to peruse the following article,
which we clip from the Columbus ga Times.
It's facts may be entirely relied on -
1t is true, and the fact cannot be much longer
concealed from Democratic voters in this latitude,
that the Democratic party in all the non-slavehold-
ing States from its leaders, Cass and Van Burcn
down to the path masters, is far more inOcuIaIcd
with the virus of AbolitiOnism than the Wing par
ty of that portion of the UniOn.-Aug. ChrOn.
If this statement Of the Augusta editor Sc is
true" then there is no such thing as untruth.
We defy the &C Chronicle" to point out a sin
gle Wing &c sign in all the non slaveholding
States, that even squlnts at respect for, or de-
fence of, Southern rights, in reference ia
" Free Sol.'' We defy him to show Il Wing
speech, a Wing resolution, Wing address, a
Wing newspaper article in any Of the Free
States, that pretcnds TO utter one word of com,
fort or defence Tor the South. The whole
Northern Wing party is not only " inoculated
with the virus of Abolitionism," but is one
rotten mass, without a sound spot so big as a
pins head. During this whole canvass, we
solemnly aver that we have not met the first
expression in any of the Wing organs, through
which political parties speak out, such a:
meetings, newspapers or speakers-ln tht
Free States, which bears the remotest resem
blance to an assertion of Southern rights. o.
the contrary, g Free SOIL no more Com
promises with Slavery g down with South
ern monopoly" and abuse, and derlslon, an'
utilization of Southern institutions, are thu
staple, the web and wool of all Wing election
eering efforts in those States.
Can this be said of the Cass party at tn
North Let facts answer.
Why is not the WiImot Provis0 now tn
law of the land ? Is it because Northern WIFI
votes have prevented it, Seventy-three North
ern Wings voted directly on the question o.
Putnam's resolution in the House of Repre-
sentatives, February %, 1913. How did the.
vote Every man of them against the South
What prevented its passage? Tile NoHter
DEMOCRATS, T}renty- Sercn IN num5er, arIi
voted qctth the South. Had they voted as tn
Northern Wings did, the Proviso would hav
passed by majority of Forty votes. Tn
Northern Democrats, then, defeated the odiou
measure, when the whole Northern Wing del
egation voted in solid phalanX for it.
In the Senate, the same state Of things wa
exhibited. Fourteen Northern Democrat
Senators voted with the South, and not on
Northern Wing.
