A Word TO Honest WhigS.


dence, which we furnish in another column, of the
rechessness of principle and consistency Of the Wing
editors IN VT At one crack of the overseer's whip
they abandon every political principle which they have
profess to hold DEAR eat the words which they have SO
emphatically and Auently uttered, and come into the
support Of man destitute of every principle except
the practical ones Of slaveholdng and fighting Can
it be that the great body, or even respectable minor
y, of the wings of this State, can be induced to fol-
low an example so disgmceful?
While the wings of Vermont have for many years
committed themselves in every possible manner to Ger
tain distinctive principles upon the great questions Of
the tariff, currency, public lands &C., are they now
ready to pronounce them all idle wind, and throw
themselves into the hands Of power which has ever
been the pledged enemy Of the north upon all these
important questions?
While they have held in utter adherence the Flor
ida war, with its inhuman bloodhound system, are
they prepared to pay homage to the hero of this
slaye-hunting campaign, and who is now said, we
know not with what TRUTH to retain portion of the
Florida war-dogs upon his slave plantation?
While they have denounced The Mexican war with
bitter cxecratons, and anathematised Mr.. Folks ad-
"Slra'oh lof us prosecutor are tey no" ready 10
