The wings endeayorng TO play the game in this
canvass which was successful in $780, by avowing
or dlsavowng certain principles and measures, to suit
the particular locality For instance, in Indiana in the
northern part of which there are some anti-savery
voters, the wing speakers and wing presses doing
their utmost TO Impress upon the public mind that Gen
Taylor is opposed to the further extension of slavery
and is in favor of subecting newly acquired territory
10 the provisions OF the ordinance of 1857 whilst just
across the Ohio, in the State of Kentucky they are la
boring TO prove TO the Kenuckans that Gen TAYLOR as
a southern man, and the owner of some two hundred
slaves, II elected President, will be amongst the last
eoncede one inch OF ground to the abolltionss These
facts know to be true, and no responsible will
tradict them.
Upon other subjects the wing press is bcld or timd,
bosteous silent, the preudices feelings or sent-
mens of the particular places may require and in some
slaces, when they get an audience that they gull,
they avow no doctrines at all. | cite two instances;
which have recently occurred-Henry S. Lane, of lnd
ana, and S s. Prentiss, of Louisiana The former Mr
ID recently made speech 10 his wing brethren at La
ayette in this State. in which he said ''Al the old
issues between the political parties abandoned or ne
cessany postponed Bank, tariff, distribution and all
that sort of thing, have nothing to do with the present
canvass but the only question is, rco shall administer
the government
Mr. Prentiss who not long since addressed the wings
Of New Orleans IN speech at public meeting, used the
following language: The democrats endeavorng to
revive the issues of S44 but they as well as we know
them to have been finally decided in the canvass of that
year The people voted them down and the only question
now TO be decided is, into whose hands shall be commit
These men have been wing members of Congress, and
are at present eminent and able orators, devoted the
election of Gen Taylor.
The south, in particular, should take warning from
these omens of evil; for should the wings elect Gen
Tayor-although in the south they preach doctrine
in the north another and in some places no doctrines
attempt, in 1871, revival of their old measures,

the best interests of the republic Everything, in fine
would be sacrificed to northern fanatcism and The rapa
city of the eastern manufacturers, whilst the entire south
would lie PROSTATE at their feet
On the other hand, both the south and the north may
rely upon the democratic party with the most implicit
hdence They have thrown their banner to the breese,
upon whose ample folds inscribed, in letters of light
the principles by which they will be guided in the admin
straton of the government he history of the past fur

our party in regiousy adherng to, and carrying out
those principles honestly, faithfully, and mpartaly.
The efforts of the wings to enact the scenes of 1910
have already proved signal failure The appeals of the
democratic party to the good sense the Judgment and
the of the country have not been in van and all
that necessary be done, to keep the facts before
the public eye and expose the frauds which are attempt
ed TO be practsed upon the south If you ask me for
proofs of this fraud and double dealing of the wings,
respectfully refer you 10 WnOe wing press IN the
northern and eastern States OF course you do not see
one-lenih part of those papers; but specimen,
