The Wing Party dnd the Sarcry question:
The Wing party, as party, have ever been
opposed 10 the extension of Slavery, and both
in and out of Congress, have done all in their
power To prevent its cncr0aehmcnts and coninc
it to its constitutional limits, which is all that
any party can do. No one admits that IT can
be mcddled with where it now exists. Yet
one great cause OF the split Oh the Presidential
question is in regard to the views Of persons
on the subject Of Slavery, and many Wings at
the North arc ready to desert their party, and
unite with faction, for the purpose Of pre-
venting the choice cl President by the people,
for they can do nothing more-and ,hHs de-
feat the only man and the only party in whose
hands the question is safe to be left. That
such persons may see how the South view
this matter, we copy the following extract
from South Carolina paper -
" The North, for the most part, IL one way;
the South, for the most part, the other. But
Mr.. Editor, do you mark this, that the GGP'
hORs at the North are ALL DlmorroiS-thc o.
ccptions at the South are ALI Wings. When
bNtI you IllN Il INbjbF|N u HNNs 10 w ''lll' II
- sound on this question, he is iarariablY n
DEMOCRAT WhcneY cr you lnd "a %oath
CIV man voting on this question with Gidd'n"s
ia the one House, or Hale, in the other, ia,
rCcreont is, in every case which has occurred
WWIG.'
But it appears that there is something rot
ten in Denmark. There arc 4" unsound' mel
even in South Carolina, the writer says
" know that there arc those in our midst
who DO not hesitate, in private, TO declare thcl
honest conviction that they see no valid olJec
ton to excluding slavery from Territories
And there are some Of them strong minded
men, themselves Shareholders, and native caro-
linlans. Why, sir, Mr. CLAY is a slaychoId
cr Mr. Badger, of the Senate, is a slaychuId
er, and a rich man-ccrtalnly an able man
and incline to think IN the main, honest
Ills views, however, are As unsOnnd on TIN
subject as on matters of politics generally
The eight Southern Wings in the House q
Representatives whose dcscrtion on the lat
Territorial bill defeated the measure, are prob
ably all shareholders.
This writer thus sums up the pros and coa
of the matter; it will be seen that he is in ta
vor of the Cass democracy as being soundcl
than Taylor whiglsIn -
4" How stands then "thc poydmoHH quc
hon," as between Cass and Taylor
Cass has given us some pledges, though nc
all that we could wish.
Taylor gives us none.
Cass' S friends in Congress from the N0ri
are many against us, but some for MS.
Taylor's friends IN Congress, from tn
North, are all against, and none for us.
Cass's friends from the South are All ,ci
u.s.
Taylors friends from the SoHh are most
them true but oght in one House, and jou
in the other, are talse; and II Is said iai'
for his sake, false because by the defeat OF Il
Territorial bill they hope TO advance his eIc
