10 But now comes the reverse of the propositions and
maintain that tits equally true that the south has
no right foster fraernise with our peculiar an
stitution, which wedesre to get rid OF Yet, tell
you SIR and desire tell the natIon, that the most
effective allies Of the abolitionsts of the north are
the wings of the south This last element OF Po-
itical abolitionism is another very 20 peculiar IN
stitutfon " at the south which has apparently escap-
ed the observation that it deserves from her states
40 Permit meto state how this element operates! The
abolitionists sin New England and elsewhere, who
are so zealously laying down the platform of dis
union, are drawn from the two great parties, but
principally from the wings. Without their aid, or
without constant concessions, the wings proper
could not keep their power in a single Stato-not
even in Massachusetts Hence, at the start when
aboltonsm first took its political form, and came In
contact with their ancient candidate Mr.. Clay, the
whig politicians fearing the loss of the south, sought
to crush this third party, and resorted even to vIo-
lence and assaults upon the constitutional rights OF
assembling and discussing. The Democrats OF the
north then stood for the right ofmeeting and dis
cussing; because If denied to one sect, however
Justly odious, it might be denied to any minority.
From this wrong the northern wings proceeded
to the opposite. which was still more dangerous
to the Union. The southern candidates were made
to talk double, in PARALLELS, concerning slave
ry. The wings of the north impressed the wings OF
the south with the necessity of little policy with
the abotionsts order gain their votes and secure
the power, for the whgs of the whole Union. They
went forth accordingly to meet the aboiltionlsts to
raerniZe with them adopt their doctrines In their
resolutions, and answer all their demands In the
affirmative when called upon candidates.. In this
they are blamable than the abohtonists them
selves because less sincere speak of the iwh1g
politicians, not of the substantial merchant wings.
This has gone on by the We-understood facqules-
cence, if not direct cooperation, OF the southern
whigs until now, there Is upon paper, and so Tar as
wings and northern abotonists, insomuch, that the
former constantly urging the latter that their can
ddate (be he Mr.. Clay, or be he Gen. Taylor, with
whole plantations of slaves is really better candl-
date for them and their purposes than their own
Sir there are two species of political wings in my
country which this courting of abolitonism has
gendered-the 'cotton " wings, and 6 conscience "
whigs Yes, sir, conscience wings; for, though gen.
tlemen around me smile incredulously. there are
whigs and of them highly intellectual and real
y estmabe persons; who, it is said troubled with
conscences They abolihonists but remain IN
the whg ranks in order to make fusion OF that par
ty with abolionism. On the other hand the g cot
ton " whigs-the gh-tariff men--compromis our
manufacturers, merchants and the like men Of intel
gence, enterprise, and substantial merit, in reality,
despise the abotoniss, and yet allow their political
leaders to consort with them and pass the resolutions
they require the hands of whig conventions. The

natural history between the wings proper and the alb

! Now, in order to prevent division, which would
insure their defeat and the triumph of the Democrat
ic party the whole whig party at the north, about
election time, seek all manner Of afnitles and ANAL
carnations with the dSunion party and dlSsuade them
from voting for their candidates to defeat the whlgs
by assuring them that the whig candidates are just
| as good aboltionists as their own This was the
secret of the ANAL gamation in New Hampshire, out
Of which was obtained what the southern wings
shouted over as great whig victory in the strong
hold of northern Democracy II -
In this way, and in this way only, the allied ar
loll,l
achieve their victories in the north, far they
get any. In Congress and abroad these gentlemen
disclaim being abolitionists, and are regarded by
southern wings as the only safe repositories IN places
of public trust of the peculiar interests of the SOUTH
At home they pass the same kind Of resolutions
do the abolitionists, make the same description of
speeches, denouncing the democrats as the allies Of
the south and increase in vehemence just In proper
ton to the danger their party is in from the demo-
Gratis, who lose the abolition vote by adherng to the
compromise of the constitution. "
And all this is permitted, and sanctioned, and
sorted with by southern wings. They not only
quesce in such COURSE but by their votes elevate
to high Offices the of the north who at home af
iliate with abolitionsts in all but naIne but when
at Washington are held up by southern wings as the
lunfinching advocates of the compromise of the
isttuton. Need / name the illustration which now
stands prominent in the election of the dstin-
gushed and accomplished gentleman who presides
over the House of Representatives Why, sir, in
the approaching canvass, as in those through which
we have passed, myself and my ADLER associates will
have to meet, follow the stump. that gentle
man and other wings with southern endorsements,
pei the charges that will be heaped upon the demo-
Gratis as the subservent instruments of the south and
the advocates of the extension of slavery solely be-
cause they abide by the compromise of the consttu
ton, and leave that evil to- the judciousl and inde
pendent action Of those who alone have the right to
control it by their local legislation. Yes, sir, and
we shall hear from these fnen, and their presses, all
over the north--appeals made to the abolihonists,
that they may safely confde their cause to whig
hands, and to the whig candidate for President be
he north south, their separate organization of
third party, which they will be exhored to aban-
don in order to elect wings, who it will be affirmed,

And more than this, and above all, the northern
democracy will have to encounter. as, we have been
obliged do heretofore, the whole force of southern
whig eloquence, coming among US, eonsorting with
those who consort with the political abolitionists
and by acquieseence at least if not by argument Civ
