Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1848-09-15
Almost u Fix, if not quite.

We have occasionally heard a person ihrea-
ten to knock another into the middle OF next
week and ii miehtbe inferred from the squat
~ looks Of the political heavens that there
are thousands OF politicians who would con-
slider Il an immense favor to he knocked into
the middle of next November,of in any other
way have the time intervening between THIS
and the presidential election sumrnarily dis
posed of. And especially is this true OF the
Taylor Wings, who feel that their candidate
is what the Virginia slave said OF his master
sherry unsartain." One Of the latest tan
umtrs with which old Trough and Ready"
has been seized, is his acceptance Of tho no.
mination Of the Democratic Nullihers OF
South Carolina. who placed Butler upon the
same ticket with him, thus manitesilng their
regard for the pecu liar institution by combi-
ming in one the actual SHAREHOLDERS upon both
the Wing and Democratic tickets. Taylor OF
course responded to the nomination with great
cordiality, for he could not well do otherwise,
seeing he is a no-party candidate, and had
avowed his willingness to have accepted the

the same terms as he did that Of the Phila-
deiphia. He received the intelligence of the
honor thus lone him, with "heartfelt thanks
with emotions of profound gratitude."-
This occssioned some excitement among his
Wing admirers in New York State, and a
meeting was called at Albany, in which his
conduct in the matter was revie wed, and de-
nounced in good round terms; some Of the
speaker. even proposed to strike his name
from their ticket, and substitute in its place
that of Henry Clay. This was however before
The Washington leaders had given the cue.
Spontaneous outbreaks among politicians
should always be carefully guarded against,
for il is awkward to have to take back what
has been unadrisediy uttered. The Dutch
man, who when asked how he and his neigh.
$oFs should vote, replied "De man vat tells
Vt how to vote hash not been along dis year "
was a jewel Of a Poiiaciao, and we'll warrant
he never got into such an uncomfortable fix
as did the Albany Wings, who where not
content to abide in the patience and await
orders. Their denuciations of Taylor, il
seems amounted to nothing, for at a subse-
quent meeting explanations were made, and
all-excspt a bakers dozen-professed to be
satisfied.
We used to think the stories Of Sinbad the
Sailor were fctions If the most improbable
kline, and regardedas a purely imaginative char
acter, the Old Man of the Sea who seated
himself upon Sinbad's shoulders, defying all
attempts to dislodgc him from the position
he had taken, and compelling by vigorous
kicks and blows, his unwilling bearer to car
~ him wherever he chose to 60. We have
since grown wiser, and in the present con
dition of the wing party and its relation tt
Gen. Taylor, can see a perfect illustration o
Sinbad the Sailor and the Old Man of the
Sea.
And then too the wings not only sufie
present trouble but prospective vexation 70
should they succeed in electing their tri-par
ty candidate-ihe nominee of Wings, NATIVE
Americans, and Carolina Nullifers--thei
only hope is in the contingency alluded Il
by the editorial parson Of Jonesborough, Ten
nessee, that il President Taylor should di
as Harrison did, Fillmore, his successor
would be an undoubted Wing; and shout,
even this hope be realized, they might still
exclsim, in the classical language of RiPto
Rumsey, as they look back to the trials O
the past, " Our sufferings what we had, an
our sufferings what we like to had is enoug
TO make a Teller cry. only We Amt got no hand
kercher."
