sstency

Organized msny 10 the public attention 10 the
enormities and wrongs OF existing Slavery iis weak

The Free Soil Movement results from the proposition
for Territories and more Slave states u defeat

You talk of electing Gen. Taylor and Wing Congress-
that some old Wing measures may be saved How
long my dear Sir do you think this Taylor Wing party

you have sharpened the Southern appetite Tor more
wars, more conquest
Bu, let us see again with what justice you compare
the Free Soil party Of ~ with the Brneyites OF ~

parallel good should you not show that Cas- Is Tor
Slavery Extension, mo difficult matter bythe-by D.
Taylor openly opposed
Thi. yoa are too honest TO attempt that work is
deTlet 10 those less scrupulOus.
Again the Wing psrty-the National Wing party OF
ii-was opposed TO Annexation the southern As well
as the Northern section its representatives ia Con.
gress had twice defeated Annexation schemes the
Southern members had stood shoulder 10 shoulder
with their Northern brethren those contests the
ultra Wing who occupied the Presidential Chair,

Anti. Annexation resolutions, and nominated anita
nexstOI candidates unanimously
How IL II upon the subject OF slavery ENten.
sion Every Southern Wing In the Senate, save one,
votes against the bill giving government and pro
lection Oregon because II contains the Inhibition OF
Slavery. The Wing Convention assemblies does II
adopt ant, eNiension resolutions, or nominate an ant

In angry hostility against any other =
What means the silence OF the Address adopted by
the Wing state Convention upon this subject, which
engages the of the electors of this State
just now than sll others
Why are the resolutions OF the meeting at which you
gave in your adhesion Taylor silent upon this ques
ton while both elOquence and Wit employed against
the soassesf Of Cubs and lucstsn
Can this thing you call the Wing party be trusted
upon this question trusted the Wing party OF "A

Opinions upon the subject of Annexation As Taylor un
dertSses withhold his upon the subject of Extension
now.
You are right in SAYING that am ardent in sdvoc stng
the Buffalo Movement. How could be otherwise, Il
