Republican vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1849-1857, 1849-06-25

70 If theSpectator wishes to cleart the Northern
Wings of Free Soilism, and to convict the North
ern Democracy Of conspiring against the South
Efor the ayowed purpose of overturning the ad- j
ministration of a Southern President" answersN
Ito the following questions may do both-they
|are the same questions propounded by the Union =
Ito the Baltimore American and the Philadelphia
American, on the same subject now in contro- (
|versy between ourselves: Are not the WhigsE
lot the North in favor of the Wimot Proviso n
IArc not most of them in favor of abolishine +
slavery in the District of Columbia! Were they |
not all opposed to, and did not every northern
lwhig member Of Congress vote against the cele-
abrated twentyfirst rule' in relation to the re-
3ception of abolition petitions? Were they no
opposed to the annexation of Texas ! Has no11
Massachusetts, as State, passed resolutions inI
flavor of the Wilmot Proviso and the abolition oil
slavery in this District9 And did not that StaeI
1nstruct her representatives in Congress to pro-
Scure change i'll the constitution by which the
( compromise in relation to slave representation
Nshould be stricken out? Is not Thomas Ewing
IA free-soier and abolitionist Is not Jacob Col
EBIamer free-soier and abolitionist and did he
dnot vote for Colts resolution to abolish slavery
Him this District !! This Colts resolution allowed
|athe negro to vote for his own freedom.] Has he
sBnot invariably voted with Giddings and the abo-
Ationists on every abolition proposition coming
sbefore the House OF Representatives, of which he
sssswas a member And have not southern whie
shareholders been in coalition for years with this
aasame wing party at the North, aiding them i'll
shunting down and defeating democrats no have
svoted with the South against the abolitionists ?
+ Are not Giddings and Root of Ohio Hale, Viii
ason, and Tuck, CT New Hampshire; Mann, Pal
Eafrey, Hudson-in fact, all the members from
Massachusetts who are abolitionists--whics ?
anot southern wings ejoice at their election oyel
sahelr democratic antagonists, as they reioiced al
Athe election of Ford, an aboitionist, over Wei
aerin Ohio; and Johnston, an abolitionist, ovel
81 Longstreth in Pennsylvania Are not all these
fsgentlemen set down as wings, and relied on as
awhigs, in every list of members Of Congress e.
llect that has been published in the wing papers
Eanorth and south? Now when tile Spectator is
ssready to answer these questions in the negative
Iaand clear its own skirts of connexion with abo
Ntionists, there will be some FEASIBILITY in its
laclamor about the coalition between democrats
Hand free-soilers. At present, it is nothing bu
ESthe most arrant and barefacedhypocrisy.
n 70 The Fredericksburg Recorder suggests
Hthe propriety of the Democracy making presen
|Aof Mr.. BENTON TO the Wing party. We hope i
Mmay not turn like the man with his Sheepskins
EsHe could neither sell nor give them away-ht
& hen tried to lose them but was prevented by
1saman calling after him as he dropped his skins
