ALLIES OF SOUTHERN WHIGS.

Truman Smith, the Abolitionist Senator from
Connecticut, c"ncocted the base and infamous
libel upon the Democracy, to The effect that it
had formed a coalition with the Aboiioniss of
The North. That shameless calumny, which
no honorable man would invent and no respcc.
table one repeat, and no reputable editor re.
publish, was We. y generally copied by the Whig
press of the S nth; to which The propagators. of
the calumny added another asehood; and that
was. that the only fiien& of The South in the
tree States were to he found in the ranks of
Whigery. These Two fabriGalions wer' re.
published in every Wing paper III the South,
and re.echoed BY every Whg orator on the
slanmp. 1t was but another act in the game Of
trtachpry and treason which tie MhiS leaders
of The South are playing in their desperate ea.
for, to gain permanent political power. The
following paragraph, which we copy from a
late Ccn,crvilta {Gndiana) Wdig, the organ of
that party in the district latel represented by
Caleb Is. Smith, will show which party is real
ly hostile TO the Interests of the South. And il
will show. too, that Southern Wings have form.
ed coalition with that party whose Candidates

even the Free Soilers. The Wing says:

Let this confession of Northern Wing or

Wing candidate for Congress in The district
lately represented by Caleb B. Smith, another
Wing, :. commended that Congress had the con.
s,i,u,ional power to regulate or abolish The
inter State slave trade"-a doctrine which
even Julian. the Free Soil candidate, could not
swallow. Yet this Mr.. Parker and his Whig
supporters are among the Northern allies o'
Southern Wings. If elccled, he would have
