again in the election Of Wilson and Tuck, Abo-
itionisls) to the House. These are facts which
cannot with ruth be denied or gainsayed. It
cannot be denied thai so for back as the adop.
lion Of the 2lsi rule, the Northern Democrats
were the only friends which the South had in
the North. Nor can il be denied that from that
day 10 this. Northern Wings, aided and abeued
by Southern Wings, have been constantly hunt
ing them down, making this very friendship
10 the South and support Of Southern rights
the preIeXt andecause Of accusation against
them,
But these are not all the facts going to show
the treachcry of Southern Wings 10 Southern
ineresls--conduct which has tended more than
all other causes to oenaie the Democratic
friends of the South, aud to throw her great IN
eresls at the mercy Of Northern abolilionlsm.
In the session Of 1894 the 2lsl rule was
repealed. Il wns accomplished by the andni-
nous vote Of Northern Wings, u portion oil
Northern Democrats, and several Southern
Whigs--StanIy Of North Carolina, and Bots OF
Virginia, being among them. Here is an in
stance in which Southern Wings not only de.
serted the true friends Of the South from the
the North, but they deserted The Southern cause
itself, After such betrayal of Southern ln'
terestsb by the Southern Wings, could the South
look longer even to the Northern Democrats for
sympathy and support We appeal TO all can
did Southern men of all parties, and conjure
them TO ponder this question. But this is not
all. The Territorial question came up' and
was debated in Congress. Northern Democrats
desired that the question should be settled. Mr..
Clayon's compromise bill was offered; & while
not Northern Wing voted for it, enough OF
Northern Democratic Representatives did, TO IN.
sure its passage If ali the Southern Wings had
voted for ii. Butlhcy did not. Eigh! Of them,
including Stephens Of Georgia and Pendlelon
of Virginia, voted against it, defeated II, and lett
it legacy for the present, to distract the coun'
try, and to menace its peace and lranquIIi'y'--
Here is another desertion of Southern interests
by Southern Wings acting in ALLIANCE with the
Wings of the North, who were unanimous u.
ganst The passage o. the Compromise bill.
But the catalogue of treachory on the part Of
Southern Wings 10 Southern iutcrosrs is not
yet complete. The Presidential Election en-
sued. The Democrats nominated Il candidate
who avowed himself in favor of non-lnterven-
ton in reference to the Territories. On the
other hand, tho Wings put forward candidate
who would not commit himself on the question
of Slavery in the Territories, He was suppor'
ted at the South on the ground that he was a
stakeholder, which was alleged to be a sufHci-
ent guaranty to the South that he would veto
the WilmoI ProviSo; while at the North he was
supported on the ground that he would not veto
the ProviSo, because he had pledged himself
against the use Of the veto power, and, more
over, as asserted by Abbot Lawrence and Tru
mun Smith, had written private letters assuring
them that he would not veto that measure if II
should pass Congress. Thus was deliberate
fraud perpeuaed upon either the North OF the
South, aud perpenoled, too. through the agen-
cy Of a Southern Wing stakeholder, and eoun
tenanced by Southern Wings. AM this base
game Of reachery aud double dealing is still
going on. Gen. Taylor has not yet made
known the course which he will pursue in tho
event Of the passage Of the Wilmol Provso,-
His personal organ in this city, The RepbiC,

toascertain what course Gen Taylor designs TO

And to this day il is not known whether or not
Gen. Taylor will approve tho Wilmot Proviso

exposure of their shameful Vaccinations con-
nccled with tho Chief Magislracy of this great
and proud Republic.
Bot even this is not all. Southern Wings
aided in nominating and eectiug MilIard Fill
more to the office Of Vice President, who is an
avowed Abolitionisl, and is in favor not only Of
the Wilmoi Proviso, but of the abolition Of Sa-
very in the District of Columbia, and of The
interdiction Of tho slave trade between tho
States. This is another undeniable and damnng
fact, going to show the ueachery Of Southern
