WING OPlAlOHS vi SAoFs
1t will be remembered BY a portion alleast OF
those who heard hir say II, that Col. Jet
ierson Davis at the barbecue, frankly admitted
that the Wings were r ght when they told htm
in 1874 hat Martin Van Buren, was ready, at
any convenient moment, TO betray the 'SouIh
ern principles' which he had 80 loudly pre-.
fessod, and that the argcr poruon Of Demo-
cratic party OF the NORTH, so far from being
the " natural allies OF the S0uth,'' were in
TACT hostile to her institutions. Time however
as Col. Davis admitted, has verified these
Wing pIedtctiaasl We would therefore re-
mind our Democratic friends that the Wing
party have long disttusted Lewis Cass; they
hypocrite, ready at any timeto change his creed
and abandon former principles to obtain Po-
Iiucal preferment. In proof Of .his we need
only reier to one OF the Wing songs Of 1914, in
which the various L%bcoiocn asplrants to the
Presidency are compared to horses on tie race
course. The verse specially devoted TO the
present Locotoco candidate for the Presidency
is as follows:
"And LcpiS Cass, though not Ounce,
VIII run boh sides Of tie truck at once;
To win the race will all things copy,
Be son.etimrspi g and sometimes puppy"
Our readers must remember that this song
was written and sung long before Gen. Cass
annl unced to the world that " he was strongly
impress d with the opinion" that his mind was
" undergoing a change upon The subject OF
the Wilmot provjso. In fact DevP WlIm"t
and his p~ruviso had not then been heard Of, but
the previ .us conduct Of Cass ron other sub
ieets OF general ]interes. had beeu'ot 81 vas
%cillating a nature as to prompt the foregoing
lines! Any impartial man who will turn to
our fourth page and read the arguments used
bv the friends of Gen, Cass at the North, 10
advance his interests there, and will compare
them withth assertions Of the Loco oco ora
tors of the south, will find that Cass is now
attempting TO " run both sides OF tho track at
once.n and whilst he IS making a $ puppy"
Of himself for tho South, in I e far North he
abandons himself to his piggish proPensitits,
and roots and grunts opprovingly in his native
Stree Soil"
LetSouthern men hesitate ere they cnstihelr
vote. for this chang ing, whose very name his
Southern advocates are ashamed to present to
the peopIe of the South, without the more hon
orablo one Of Butler being appended, to keep
ii INCONVENIENCE.
The old song from which We copy the a
boye has many truthful things in lit. Follow
inc the verse which we nave quoted,is one des-
%crlptiye Of Martin Van Barren, rheJirst "Nor-
thern man with Southern principles" the Two
first mes Of which were rs follows;
"Therr's littIe Ma,ty, never IDLE,
~ tnckg horse pho slips his bridle."
