all. Southern Wings aided in nominating

Slavery in the District of Columbia. and
of the interdiction Of the slave trade b.

moval by General Taylor of Northern
Democrats who have constantly and uni
iofniv. in Congress and out of it. voted
for and supported the interests Of the
South
Such are the facts which in our minds
convict Southern Wings of
treacherv 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 otthe South, while the Wings of.
the North were then. and have ever since
been. the enemies Of the South None
Will deny that from that time until the
present. Southern Wings have been in
political alliance with Northern Wings in
hunting down and destroying Northern
Democrats. who are the true friends ofthe /
South. Is II strange. then, that Northern
Democrats should become dishcartened.
and in the end disguised with the black
ngrailtude and trcachery on the part of
he Wigs ofthe South. and should change
heir course. and in self-defense take the
same ground upon the sub ject Of Slavery
which Northern Wings have always la
zen. without mourning the censure of their
lilies of the Southe We are not surprised
hat such has been the result, although VIC
re deeply grieved. We are grieved that
southern interests should be BETRAYED bv
southern men. and Southern rights struck
Town by Southern hands. Now, what is
he remedy! II is for the people of the
'pa'h to hoid Southern Ways RESPONSE
ie far this criminal betrayal of South
RI interests. Let the traitors to South
IN interests be called to account for the
reason which they have committed. by ,
le people of the South whom they have .
"ceived. caloled. and at last betrayed 4,
-et the Wing leaders of the South be
nmmoned to the bar of the people to an !
wer for their treachery to the interests of $
he South. In this way can Justice be vim I
icatcd and the rights Of the South pre- I

nd revolving alliance between the Wing /
eaders of the South and the Abolition t

outhern rights vindicated and sustained {
nd then the South can. with some show !
justice. and with the utmost confidence.
gain claim the friendship and support of L.

lg elections Of Congress IN the Southern t
tates. let their patriotic and enlightened i
eople recollect these facts, and discard 7
lie traitors from the public councils.
