TO the Union such the course that would naturally DC
expected from journals protesting devotion to southern
Riphts Such has been the view of the eloquent Wing
Toombs of Georgia. whose just tribute TO the honorable bear
ing of the Democracy sound views and striking array Of
Northern IMPRESSIONS in Thursdays interesting debate we
cordially commend to the good and justice of men of
all parties.
Our conscience is therefore clear of all participation in
aiming blow at the rights and consequently the Union of
the States Our files will show that we have been uncom
promising opponents of every the least tncturcd with
free solism We have urged with oil our zeal that the
Southern doctrine of nonteerence is the true doctrine of
the Constitution and have firmly opposed every man
who shrnks from its advocacy and practice That in single
instance we have been deceived is impuation
fidelity or vigilance We could not oresee that who
had always spoken and roed for the constitutional rights OF
the South could be blinded by petty, miserable ambition
as to sacrifice good and enter secret and damn

sccomplacen chuckng assailants of the Southern Wing
press and ask what is their present attitude Do their words,
their practice at all respond their vruous prossions Do
they not nor with full blaze of light before their eyes,
knowingly and wilfully sustain Fillmore and Winthrop, full
booded who have acted and voted through
out with ddngs Adams and the damnable crew of anti
slavery fanatcism? Filmores position and his thorough
endorsement, by the Southern Wing press developed

Such is the man whom these chucing Southern Wings
laud to the skies We charge these Southern WING presses
with supporting men for high office whom they knO be
Wimo provsoists and challenge them 10 deny it. We
charge them with insulting the good and patriotism of
the South by protesting opposition 10 the Wimo Provso,
and yet voting for and sustaining Wmot Provsoists When
Southern organs for purposes thus play into the hands
of the ce-so party what hope have that the North will
do US scel Let them first clear their skirts from an all
ance with the advocates ee-so and they may then have
some excuse for assaing VIM. J. Brown. Otherwise let
them keep their peace.
