spring ap, but when il come TO y, ing they POI
forth their eleven foot. We are beulen and
BADLY beaten through the prejudices Of the
West. It is a painful reflection, but we
6nt a solace in the old saying every DIG has
his day."
For Holmes and other counties we have moth
ing to say-we saeak for Madison-the charge
is unfounded, nncalled for and ungencrou'.
Ii is well known to every one at all acquain-
ted with the politics of our county, that it con-
tains quite a number of voters ' no are Wings
and nothing else. 1t was with the greatest re-
luctance that many Of these voted for Old zacS
The VAS not a good enough whig for them 1--WE
do not sIlude 10 those distinguished individuals
whose eminent talents and long Sc wees had
never bees 50 much appreciated BY the wings
as 10 satisfy their longing for office, aud who
conceived thai this was a good opportunity for
them to 90 where political services are better
rewarded. J Well, after Mr. Gray in his speech
here had avuwed himself a wing in theory, but
determined 10 vote in Congress with the Loc's,
what right had any one to expect that these
'ihpracticable whigs' would vote for Mr..
Gray? Aud when Mr.. Gray declared that he
would go for no modification Of the tariff Of
1916, except 10 increase or diminish the reve-
nue., thus placing himself antagonistical even
to old lack on the only point Of his policy
where be Lad indicated an opinion, to wit,
that the Tariff Of 1916 must be revised any
Ehow, would not every friend Of Old lack have
been justified in deserving him at once. When
Mr.. Gray's friends ask the cause of his defeat
III the West, the only reply to be given is, his
speeches. In this County 554 wings voted for
d theoretical Wing and practical Loco against
a theoretical and practical oco-and had he
not ADVISED old lack 50 much, the wing vote
might have been still sss.
In connection with this matter we wish brief
ly to allhde to another, which we believe has
exercised an unfortunate influence against the
Wings in the recent elections in the slave
States. We mean the States Rights Conven-
tfons, as they are styled. 1t is TOO well known
to require any proofnow, that many Democrats
voted for Gen. Taylor ON the assurance If the
Wings that the rights and interests Of the South
would be safe in his hands, which they could
not be IN those ofCass. II is also well known
that Mr.. Polk signed the Oregon Bill, with the
WIlmot Proviso, thus sSnctioning the right OF
Congress to legislate on the subject Of slavery
slavery in the Territories, Every one, who
has informed himself al all on the subject,
knows that every cause Of complaint thai we
we have against the free States for interference
with our rights had existed for years, while
the Locos were in power, and no States Rights
Conventions were ever heard Of then. But no
sooner was that corrupt party about to be driv-
en- from the Tich spoils they had SO long fattened
on, than, by a stroke Of policy that does more
c edit to their Intellectual than to their moral
faculties, they commenced the organization OF
these associations, inviting and receiving the
strong corporation of the Wings, while their
party presses were daily denouHcing Southern
Wings and q Southern President as untrue to
the South on this vital question, and thelf par
~ in The free States were forming unholy Goa
litions with The abolilionists and lree-sollers'
When those Southern Democrats who had
voted for Taylor saw these leading Wings uni
ting with ttc Locos, before the President had
had any opportunity for action, or even the
expression Of an opinion, was it not a correct
conclusion for them to come to, that they had
been deceived by the Whigs-that the Wings
had no confidence IN their own party or Presi-
dent, and therefore it was right, necessary and
proper that they should go back to their old
party? Would it not have been much better
for the Wings to have said, " Wait until these
elections are over; If we have a majority in
Congress, and any bill IS ppssed injurious TO
Southern rights, and not vetoed by the Presi-
dent, then we will unite with you in opposing
the bill, our party and our President. But il
you have the majority and such a bill is passed,
and vetoed by President Taylor, then you must
unite with US for the same purpose and on the
same terms on which we offer to unite with
you" Such, in our opinion, was the only pol
tic, safe and honorable course. But the mis-
chief is done and it is now useless to weep Tor
the tactical fluid that has been overturned and
absorbed.
