We subjoin 4 few specimens of Wing sentiment
with regard the nomination of Gen. Taylor for the
Presidency These are but drop in the bucket I'M
less the wings of the North generally write them
elves down baser and more seryile slaves than the
manaced bondmen upon Gen. Taylors pl ,ntaton,-
We commence with the Boston Whg, edited by Chas
Francis Adams, worthy son of the lamentel John
Quincy Adams.
sit is then reduced to a certainty that the Slave
Power rules both the Old Organizations with rod of
iron. In 1874 it dictated the nomination CT James K
Polk and of Henry Clay, and they were nonnated.-
In lS4o it dictates the nomination of Lewis Cass and
Zachary Taylor and they are the candi atcs. 1t is
clear that with the managers in the free states, prn-
cples are nothing but the counters with which the
game of elections is played In 1914 the Democratic
leaders turned their backs upon pledges given by them
IN the most solemn manner to freedom. In 1913 the
Wing leaders follow their example, Rottenness is in
the very marrow ST the bones of the system. Out
upon such hypocrisy and fraud. The New York rad
ical party hive probed one side to the bottom whilst
the Conscience Wings of Ohio and Massachusetts
have spent three years in doing the same thing to the
other and the result is demonstration to the minds Of
all rational men that corruption is in the core
"And are we, the men who have been battling with
this Monster of Slavery for years, expected to yield
ourselves without murmur to this movement? New
er. Never Never. Thank God, the men who have
contrved it, know us too well to expect it, In pre-
dieting our determined opposition they unwittingly
pay compliment to our consistency whilst they blast
their own For what have they not pledged themselves
to? Where is the unanimous vote OF the Wing rep
resent4tvos of the last Congress in favor Of the Will
mot Provlso? Where are the pledges of eleven Leg
lslatures to sustain the same principles? Where
Why gone to the tomb of the Capulets, so far the
wishes of proagate political taders are concerned,
but not gone from our memory any more than they are
gone from the hearts of the honest freemen in the
land, who love Liberty and who still respect them
selves.
ut is time that the lines be now distinctly drawn
all over the United States. We care not how soon
the banner of Liberty be widely and proudly thrown
to the WINDS AMI it shall be Inscribed in letters of
living light the words, mo compromise with the
Slave Power" We not how soon, the different
sections of the eope of the Free States who
striving for a common object becaled together under
one common fold, Democrat Wing, Liberty man,
native or foreign American, n0mes to us moth
ing The issue shut be Freedom or Slavery. There
il a will in Gods providence which no human power
can resist. Let it come Let it come. For our part,
humble as may be our agency in the business, one
thing is certain,
In THIS CAUSE, WE KNOW NOT THE WORD SUR
RENDER"
The Roxbury Mass Gazette, a bold and talented
Wing paper, says:
"'The Wings of the free States not only have the
power but the disposition to nominate candidate
whose cause might be advocated without disgrace, by
a sincere supporter of whig principles
If such candidate is not presented for our accep
lance it will be owing to the pre-concered and pre-
arranged treache,y and bargain of a few ambitious
Wings of Massachusetts and other free Staes and
under the circumstances, every vote given for Gener
al Taylor will go to satisfy the pledges and reward
the dishonesty Of the traitors. Are the wings of this
section of the state prepared to swell the pride and
inlame the ambition and reward the villany of their
betrayers?
Most of the leading and active politicians with
whom we have conversed have unhesitatingly declar
ed it to be their purpose never to vote for General
Taylor They have so declared in obedience to the
dictates of reason and common sense.
How faithful they will be to their voluntary decara-
tions remains to be proved Our own is plain,
and every reader of this paper who does not believe
that for the last four years have been constantly
playing the hypocrite knows very well what it will be-
We intend to re main Whig-a Massachusetts Wing
and we trust that shall Ebe able to defy, as we
now abhor, all the powers of Taylorism."
The Manchester IN. Ill., American, also has the
: following;
"The nomination of General Taylor by the Wing
Convention under such circumstances, will be act
of political suicide Success with such candidate
would be the worst kind of defeat If the wings
nlte Taylor they do it. not because they believe him
to be the ablest exponent of their principles and the
most available candidate on whom they can rely for
the Of those principles, but because he cU
be a candidate at all events, AMI, on the whole, they
prefer his election to that of his democratic opponent
For ourselves, altogether differently Much
we deprecate the election of the nominee of the
Baltimore Convention, whoever he may be, and no
wing can deprecle it more-we should infinitely pre-
fer it to the success of General Taylor. Nor do we
believe that it would PROVE in the end half so dsas
d trous to the wing party"
The Massachusetts Spy, one of the best wing pa.
) pers in the state, says:
"If Gen. Taylor is elected to the Presidency,
il will be as the representative of the SLAVE po,Cer of
the country, and whatever party may help to do it,
E will in our opinion be DESTROYED thereby for it will
be compelled to identify itself with slavery, and the
time now at hand, when no such party can long sns
tain itself"
The New York Tribune the most talented and in
fuential Wing paper in the Union-the paper which
abored with so much zeal for the election of Henry
Clay, in A. the following language in relation to
o the nomination of Gen. Taylor:
"For our own part we shall take time for reflection
If it shall appear to that the support of Gen. Tay-
lor is the only course by which the election of Cass
can be prevented, we shall feel bound to concur in
that support. If, on the contrary the Developments
of the next few days shall prove that the Free States
are ripe for the uprising which must come soon
er or later and which this nomination has done very
much oprccpitate why then ready Our pres
en IMPRESSIONS that the time hls not quite arrived
, but we shall see."
