The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1848-06-25

used by the witches in Macbeths service to make the
charm "frm and good" not thrown in by the wings,
there seems to be doubt that they will snake the
Cruel thick and sab by double-dislled sprnklng of
misrepresentation and actual falsehoods whatever else
may be left out 1t very certain that the ddder's
torked tongue will not be "The hell broth" will
tam this indispensable wing ingredient; and fork of
IT will be used for the SOUTH the other for the north
The doube-deang, hypocrcal wing leaders already
endeavorng to convince the Wmot Proviso of the
north, that should ii be in the power of the next Con-
gress to extend the 9th article of the ordinance of 1857
(Which has now assumed the name of Wmo Proviso)
over the Territories of the United States, Old lack, if
President, will, acting like Maezeps chess player under
the influence of wing cords, pulleys and machine
ny, give his automaton approval to the measure in
cordance with what they have already boldly affirmed
that hen General Taylor President. Congress IS to
be the government On the other hand, the south is
be carried away captive the other fork of the adders
tongue, which is not cease the cry, that. General
Taylor being large STAKEHOLDER himself, and friend
and patron OF the institution of slavery, southern rights
will be safe in his hands!
| Such is the game of unblushing mpudence by which
the intelligent people Of this country to be gued into
the support of man nominated by the wing party who
too timd in civil life the world his principles
and who is to be- in the hands of unprincipled men,
whose own have convicted them OF the most gross
hypocrisy, like clay in the hands of the potter"
We do not speak thus without book In the first place,
we refer to the letters of Gen. Taylor wherein he avas
himself of his military knowledge, and advances "by
regular approaches to the wing CITADEL but unlike all
his other military deeds, when within striking distance
nglorously surrenders! He does not even reserve to
himself the honors Of auar but throws himself-sword
epaulees, Old Whitley and al-no the wing ranks with
out discretion! How could the whg convention do 9TH
erwise than receive him!
There were some honest men in that convention
who supposed, in warning for certain measures, they
were united with party who would sustain those
measures The scales fell from their eyes when upon
the fourth ballot, they found that the political aggran
dizement of few leaders matter of far more i'm
portance than the triumph Of the principles of great
party! They spoke plainly, like honest men, who
were not to be cheated by any Esau-like subterfuge
That convention adjourned with the assertion of but
one principle, that have heard of-and that was the
one honorable to the wings Of Ohio that they rod vote
for HORSE for Vice President So said Mr. Collier
Of that State, who at the time announced himself
an ultra outandout whg and he said it seriously too
We leave the wings of Ohio to their choice between the
nominee of their own delegate, "Old Whitley, and the
nominee of their party, Mr.. Fillmore This neu pria.
cpc OF eectng horses for Vice Presidents the only
one avowed by the wing convention; and advise
them henceforth to drop the appelative "whig" and
assume that of ''horse.'
That convention adjourned not in the best humor with
its proceedings rather, the wings would have
said had the Baltimore Convention done as did theirs
broke up in row." and the discordant material of
which it composed scattered to the north, SOUTH
cast, Ai .if.~. fvosiJiu,
we find in the columns of the National Intellgencer
letter addressed 'to the wings of the sixth con-
gressional district of Massachusetts, signed by "George
Ashmun," in which he labors and strives to cover up
the gall and NORWOOD of his bitter disappointment
in cunningly devised words. He dares not assure his
cheated constituents that he will vouch for the autona
onism of the wing candidate should he be elected and
the Wilmot Proviso be 'poked at him" by Congress
But, diavowng his preference for General Taylor, he
states his belief that he is true whig, opposed to the
acquisition of Isras" 1--WE hope the people of Texas will
notice hs and opposed to further enlaging the bound
aries of this Uaon"Qook at this, people of the south
and mark this we'll" although he lives in the latitude
where slavery is tolerated, yet do not believe he desires
or approves its entension" And further says the very
cunning and very gentemanly Mr.. George Ashmun :
His declared sentiments" mark ye-"his (Gen. Tay
lors) declared sentiments guarantee that he will
never in the slightest MANNER interfere with the action
of Congress when shall forbid the existence OF slavery
in our newly acquired territories"
No assurances-no vouching but 81 believe" and
"his declared sentiments"
Well we read the letter of Mr.. Ashmun, and ptied
him as we would man who might be compelled to
discourse most eloquent music" upon piano while en-
cased in strait jacket Its insincery and cunning
were 80 shallow that cannot believe his sensible and
enlightened constituency will be hoodwinked by it.
This letter was followed up by the introduction OF
resolution into the House of Representatives by this
same Mr. George Ashmun, that Congress adjourn the
nth day of July and the House passed it. and sent it to
the Senate What the object OF that proceedng Did
the wing pary--we beg pardon: the whitehorse party
suppose the legitimate business of the session could be
terminated by that timer Not they; but they supposed,
and Intended and they intend if possible, that the
territorial questions before Congress shall ge the
not only for this session, but this Congress The
peope of the Territories be left without any gov
eminent recognised by the United States, because the
wings of Congress fear to meet the issue We hope and
trust the Senate will agree to adjournment Of
the present session until justice is done to the people of
| the Territories.
We next see (straws show which way the wind blows)
