But 10 the extract
Southern Wings aided in nominating
and electing Willard Fillmore 10 the Office
Of Nice-Prcsident. who is an ayowcd Alb
olilonist. and is in favor not only Of the
W limo. Proviso. but of the Abolition Of
Slavery in the District of Columbia. and
Of the Introduction Of the slave trade be-
tween the States. This is another undc-
Unable and damning fact. going TO show
the treachery of Southern Wings 10
Southern interests. Many more might be
named. such as the election by Southern
votes Of Robert &. Winthrop. Northern
Wing Aboli'ionst. TO the chair. and the
appointment by Gen. TAYLOR Of Messrs.
Ewing and Collaner to his Cabinet. two
well known Aboltionsts and Wilmot
i'roviso men-the latter voting for every
.bolitonist proposition while he was in
Congress, even COTS resolution to abol-
ish Slavery in this District; and the re-
moval by General Taylor OF Northern
Democrats who have constantly and uni.
formly, in Congress and out OF it, voted
for and supported the interests Of the
South
Such are the facts which in our minds
conclusively convict Southern Whi5s Of
treachery to Southern interests. They
cannot be denied, because they stand
out in bold relief upon the records Of Con-
gress and the country. Nothing but the
most reckless mendacity will venture to
deny that ten. nay six years ago, the great
body OF the Northern Democrats stood
firmly and faithfully by the interests and
rights ofthe South, while the Wings If
the North were then. and have ever since
been. the enemies of the South. None
will deny that from that time until tho
present. Southern Wings have been in
political alliance with Northern Wings in
hunting down and destroying Northern
Democrats. who are the true frie nds Of the
South. Is it strange, then. that Northern
Democrats should become dishearened,
and in the end disguised with the black
ingraiitude and treachery on the part Of
the wings Of the South. should change
their course, and in selEdefence taken the
same ground upon the subject Of Slavery
which Northern wings have always taken,
without mourning the censure of their al
lies Of the SOUTH We are not surprised
that such has been the result. although we
are deeply grieved. We are grieved that
Southern interests should be betrayed by
Southern men. and Southern rights struck
down by Southern hands. Now, what 10
the remedy, II is for the people Of the
South TO hold Southern Wigs respoasi-
bie for his criminal betrayal of Sowth.
ern interests. Let the traitors to South
ern interests be called to account for the
treason which they have committed, by
The people Of the South whom they have
deceived. caloled. and AT last betrayed.
Let the whg leaders of the South be sum-
moned to the bar Of the people to answer
for their treachery 10 the interests Of the
South In this way can Justice he vindi.
Gated and the rights Of the South preserv.

revolving alliance between the wing lead
ers Of the South and the Abolition wings
ofihe North be broken up. and Southern
rights indicated and sustained. And

justice, and with the utmost confidence,
