J. G. EDwAAps,-Sv: The wings Of Lee have
read your article in the last Hawk Eye showing how
impol't'c It is for the wings to form Union ticket
with the +" Abolitionists'' or Free Democracy
with the greatest satisfaction and approval. Think
the wing convention at Iowa City, committed
bunder in going as far they did in trying to graf
ify the abolitionists; they certainly injured our
whole ticket in this county by having done so.--
And that it would necessarily result in disaster,
ought 1t appears to to have been easily fore SEEN
Can the wings OF Iowa, who are all in favor of
the Jefferson Proviso," overlook the fact that
the abolitonists as party have ever dealt treach-
erousy and played into the hands OF the anti proyi-
80 and slavery extension loco focosp Did they not
in 1914 lose New York State to the wings, and cause
the election OF James X. Polk, and the annexation
OF Texas with the Mexican war following in its
train ~ . necessary consequence? Who have been
the most bitter and incessant revilers of Henry
Clay, who though living in q slave latitude is an
open and fearless friend Of the " Proviso?, The
abolitionists Who now rival the most embittered
loco focos in their sensations and denun.
Citations Of President Taylors administration The
abolionists Did they not at the last Congress
al election in Connecticut unite their forces with
the Cass and antiproviso loco focos Of that State
and assist to defeat the whig candidates, some Of
whom had actually voted in Congress for the Pro-
vso"' Have they not played the same game re-
Gently in Indiana2 Look at Vermont. There at
the last Presidential election every where else
the loco foco platform was Cass and anti -provso.-
Now you see the most rank of the abolitionists Of
that State trying to combine with the defeated Cass-
ties to demolish the wing provisoists in their
State election In Ohio last winter the abotioniss
and the Castle snti-provisoists made a regular
"swap" of the matter. The Abolitionists took
Senator and the snti-provisoists three Judges and
the power OF the House OF Representatives. In
Ohio they gave the State to Cass and his negro priu
ciples by voting for Van Buren,, the northern man
with southern principles and who when President
Of the United States on divers coca sons bowed his
knee to the C dark spirit of slavery" Yes, they
supported that same Van Buren, who within the last
three weeks has written letter urging the free de-
mocracy (aas additionally OF New York to join in

But to come home to Iowa. What has been their
course here. Look at Henry county, the wings of
which guided by the most lofty patriotism, have al
ways with very few exceptions) openly and fear
lessly expressed themselves in favor of the Pro-
yiso,' and other anti-slavery principles! Notice
there how the abotionists combined with theCassie
loco focos in Union ticket for the prostration Of
the wing county candidates. Was not Harlan ma
teriay injured in this county, by the conduct of the
abolitionist editor at Fort Madison, who on his own
responsibility as his abolitionist friends said
though I am satisfied in my own mind that he did

distributed tickets with Howe as an opposing candi-
date. When some news came in from the north
adverse to the prospects of Harlan, that same edi-
tor (and who the next thing to an idol for his
black sympathizers heard to express his grati-
cation at the probable result Of Harlan's defeat.
But farther. Did either Mexican, or Stewart in our
recent State election fifty free soil" votes

zionist was placed on the ticket with them3 who
asserts yes, let him name the votes
Therefore, let the wings Of Iowa, hereafter stand

these doctrines are good, they will be- in the end
triumphant; but il evil, we should abandon them as
