THE wHIG AGAINST ITSELF

Saturdays Wing would be very glad TO know
when any thing was said in this paper (lhe
Whis) abou, sCass Bullies.' We are certainly
mol aware OF its having ever been Introduced in
our columns" Whether the Editor "aware"
or not, we find in the Wing OF October l7th an
Editorial, Rally 10 The Friends OF Taylor
FILLMORE is not intentionally, in which The follow
ing passages occur
"Al the polls you will probably find 10 some
parts oil the country Bul!ies Posted. 10 f'shten
you from voting. But be not alarmed
.ii;er some other gentle phrases, such as"ihe
found 10 The Wings EDITORIAL
"F'REEmEN! STAND At THE POLLS until he
box ia closed, and see that the old and nfrm are
not kept from voting by rHE DULLES oP CAss &
! Co., whose duly il seems 10 be 10 keep old and
| timid voters from the polls /"
The same choice appeal appeared in The Pc
tersburg lnteliigencer a lew days after.
We have thus enlightened the Wing as to
what appeared in lis own columns But The
Wing. after positively denying that The epi.hel
"Cass Bullies" did appear in is columns, al
templs 10 give us hii on the same score Il says,
"Itis The Enquirer, and mol We, vino delights in
flowers of rhetoric OF this description. IL.
'ibob-ail coons" form the most striking portion
OF its editorials OF late" The Wing is mis-
,aken-we never indulge in such "fowers OF
rhetoric" az are lavshly slrewn over The Whis
We never apply 10 pure public man such cpl
the,s as ''pecula'or, public plunderer, swindIer,
coward" &C., which the Wing has poured out
against General Cas- and which Wing evidence
and historical records have utterly ground 10
powder.
But is it not strange that The Editor of the
Wing should be "disgrunllet" with The term dob
tail coons2" It's gross ingratiiudc in that paper 10
turn upon its old allies. Ii will not be denied thai
in 1910 and 1874, The coon was wor,hipped as the
Good Genius, the lulcary Divinity Of the Wing
party. The great Harry OF the Yves, was dub
bed, (and ne bnasled OF the namely as shat sam
old coon" and The Wings with delight, chrislened
themselves coons. Bul that was when the viii.
party had iIs ulI-blown principles the
coon was in iull fur, and sporled its full, flowing
long tail But lallerly, 1.-The great embodiment"
has been struck down, their principles lhr wn 10
the dogs-lheir long iail has been clipped off,
and they stand forth before they world, cur,aiIed
of their fair proportions nothing more nor less,
than "bob-tailed coons"
10 show that the once sacred name of coon is |
still chung 10 with deligh, by the Wings in some |
sections OF the country, we quote for The ins,ruc.
ZION Of the Wing, aud Tor the amusement OF our
readers, the following exquisiteIy chasts, touching
and Uitty Taylor Song" which We find in the
New Orleans Bulletin, the leading Taylor and
Fillmore organ in Louisiana. Ii is by such siily
and Disgusting appeals, that the Whig leaders
hope 10 humbus great nation into The supnort

clowns and lricks,ers from The Stage. Blu, here.
