Taylor Wing Presses to the Res

The New York Tribune, contrary to our ex-
pectations, after what the editor of that paper
has said and written about the aggresslons of the
slave power, and the nomination of Gen. Tay-
lor, and the conduct of the wing party in their
last National Convention, which we believe he
justly characterized as the philadelphia Slaugh-
ter House" where every whig principle was a.
bandoned at the beck Of Southern Shareholders
where every aspiration for freedom which was
expressed or even attempted to be uttered, was
outraged in the most indignant manner, where
the ordinance of 1887 was uncoremoniouslv
kicked out of doors, has come out with long
article in defence of the Taylor wing party in
Vermont. Mr.. Greedy goes back and gives
history Of tho nrgn nization of parties 'thlrty
years since" and states, what everybody knew
before, that is, that since that time the whip
party have had the ascendancy in Vermont nm
to the present time. Our object is to correct
some errors mot TO say falsehoods) which the
editor Of the Tribune has fallen INTO in address,
ing himself to the people of Vermont. Another
object VIC have in view is to place some of Mr..
Greeley's former language by the side Of this
long epistle, which is written for the especial
benefit of the wing party In the first place,
the Tribune says, 1t is remarkable that the CO.
alition preserve studied silence with regard 10
the Tariff" We take it for granted that the
editor has not read the proceedings of the Con-
venton, or he never would have penned the a.
hO,,o -. tho i
was passed by the Free Democratic Convention,
unanimously:
Resolved, That we are in favor of Tariff
which will raise revenue sufficient to defray the
expenses of the government economically ad.
mlnlsteTed, the interest accruing on the Nation
al Debt and an annual nstalment thereon.
Every one must see the object which the Tri-
bune had in view, in making the statement, that
the great and important subject of the Tariff
which Is considered by the wings as the alpha
and omega, the tOuchstone of wing principles, was
passed by with studied silence" 1t was
Tor the purpose of reviving the old issues which
have divided the whig and democratic parties.
But the Tribune inquiries, "Hop comes ii that
the locofocos of Vermont, Wisconsin and Con.
necticut, have all at once renounccd the doc.
trlnes Of their late leader, and taken ground in
favor OF the positive statutory prohibition of
slavery In the the territories? By referring to
the flles of the Tribune of May |, the answer is

Tribune. The Northern wings are now pla
