Wing Sentiments South.

Senator Mangum, of North Carolina, and
Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, in the House, have
recently made speeches upon the free soil
question Mr. Mangum said that "So MAN
COULD BE MORE OPPOSED TO tue EXTENSION OF
SLAVERY THAN he WAS"
MIR Toombs, in his speech, took ground a.
gainst the annexation of farther territory on
any conditions. He ridiculcd the extreme no.
tons that had been advanced in both Houses,
that the people of the territories had full con-
troll over the question of Slavery. He con-
tended, on the other hand, that it ,cas gacS-
ton for Congress to Setic and that 'chen ii lcas
properiypresented to Congress, ii aeouldJe nm
douJtcdiy determined By its tcisdom, prudence
and patriotism.
These men are the advocates of the election
of Gen. Taylor, and like him are opposed to
the extension of Slavery and in favor of permit
ting the matter TO be settled by Congress. How
unlike Mr. Cass, northern man, and yet de-
clares Congress has no right to prevent the
extension of slavery, and offers, virtually, to
veto bill, in case of his election, passed by
Congress, prohibiting slavery in newly acqur-
ed territory.
No wonder the National Era declares it had
rather trust the cause of freedom in the hands
Of Gen. Taylor than with dough(ace Cass-

CONVICTED OF MANsLAUGHTER. McGinty,
bound over as accessory to the murder of Kcl-
ley, upon the Pussumpsic Railroad last spring,
was tried at the recent sitting of the Orange
County Court, and found guilty, and sentenc-
ed to fifteen years of hard labor IN the State
Prison. 1t was proved that he was pres
ent at the time fthe tragic occurrence, club in
hand, encouraging the lawless outrage. The
person who fired the fatal shot is still at large
but has been traced from one place to another
and it is to be hoped he may yet be upprehend-

GEN. TAYLOR AND GIN. IARRrsoN.-In n
casual conversation the other day with gen
llcmun who served with Old Rough and
Ready in the Florida war, he related the
following, which TRANSFERRED in 1899, during
the Harrison campaign.
On tho arrival of the northern mails
the officers were IN the habit Of meeting at
Gen. Tnylor's marquee, to discuss the news.
The General being Wing, took the Nation-
al lntclligencer, and Major Garland, Loco
toco, the Washington Globe. On one of
these occasions, Gen. Taylor found in the
Inlelligencer an account of one of the Nam
moth Conventions held in honor of Old Tip,
and hc remarked, This, gentleman, is
what like to see" 'But," promptly res
pended the Major, General Harrison is a
Northern man, and an ubolitionist" 'No
NATTER" replied the General, "hc is an hou-
est man, and uunccustomed 10 the wles and
intrigues ofparisans. The great mass Of
the people-the honest and intelligent of all
parties-are ralIying in his support, and, sir,
my word for it, they are on the right track"

1.-THE Democratic Republican calls our at
tenton to the position of the Hon John Went
worth, of Illinois. We stated that he was op-
posed to Cass and yet had been nominated for
reelection. The Republican intimates that
were in error. We think not. We under
stand that his friends obtained his nomination
by vote of some "a to 40-the latter, Cass
men, who, after the nomination offered reso-
lutions approving the nomination of Cass,
which were voted down by the 81 Went
worth men. The Cass men then retired and
passed the rejected resolutions. SO we read
the matter.

G-'The locoiocos put forth urePort that the
statement of the Louisiana Delegation at the
Philadelphia Convention, respecting Gen
Tnylor's opinions and position, was not author
lied by him. This report coming to the knowl-
edge of Gen, Taylor brought out a card from
him in which he endorses the statement Of the
Delegation. That statement was, so far as 1t
regarded other candidates. that he should abide
the decision of the National Convention, and
should Scott, Clay, Webster, Nc Lean, or any
other wing be nominated he should be satisfied.

The Liberty party on the 4th, re.nominated
their old State Ticket-Lawrence Brainard of
vt. Adams, Cor Governor, Jacob Scott, of Bar
re, for 1t. Governor, Zenas Wood, of Mont.
pelier, for Treasurer. At the same time and
place, District Convention for The 9TH Con-
gressional District was holden, at which A. j.
Rowell of Troy, was nominated for Congress.
The locos held their State Convention at
Montpelier on the 18th. The old State Tick
ct was re-nomina ted--Paul Dillingham;, r.of
Texas Anne xaton memory, for Governor, &c.
There was considerable Bnrnburner feeling
manifested by some of the delegates; indeed,
instruc tons from some places were resorted TO
to keep the delegates in the old bunker lines;
and in imitation of the Baltimore Convention,
one set of Observation-Disclosures
thrust out. The Convention insisted upon the
bunker platform, notwithstanding quite a
number of the active members of the party in
the State go tor Mr. Van Buren,. Cass goes
hard in Vermont, except with the Office hold

the spoils. Mark them.

r ig htIY Put.

The following most pregnant paragraph is
from an able article in the National Era, the
Liberty party paper at Washington, the
nominations at Baltimore and Philadelphia
TO al thinking anti slavery men, Gen. Tay-
lor must indeed be far preferable to the nom.
nee of the Loco party;
although we certainly shall not choose be-
tioecn eoHs, beyond all doubt we should feel
that the honor and interests of tho country,
aye, even the great interest, Freedom itself,
would be safer in the hands of n stakeholder
than servic-of Gen Taylor than Gen, Cnss y
The Era is right in all but choosing between
evis-on this point it reasons wrongly-for, in
going for Gen Taylor, under existing circum-
stances, we go for the greater good, or rather
TO avoid the greater ega ofelecting n Northern
man pledged to the extension of slavery; and
a man is as much under obligation TO do the
greatest possible good, under certain circum-
stances, as he is to abstain from theft or robs
berry, and by neglecting to do the greater good
he renders himsefculpnble q, chooses 10 permit
egH This is correct moral and practical phi
losophy, and no finely spun theories can do it
away so long as the world remains in its pres
ent imperfect state.
To sustain our position we have what some
men call pretty good authority The Hon.
Joshua r, Giddings, in 1874, wrote letter on
the duty of Anti Slavery men in the then
crisis, which contained some excellent advice,
quite as applicable TO the present time as to
that period. The doctrine that he advocated
then, we advocate now. Mr. Giddings wrote
emphatically;-
"Itis said by them that it is wrong to vote
for STAKEHOLDER, or for one who will support a
Shareholder. Innswer, that il is their duty to
do the greatest good in their power; and to pre-.
vent all evil which il is in their power to pre-
vent; and if, 60 effect that object, it becomes
necessary to vote for stakeholder, it will be
right, and duty for them to do So.
