nannr the late Presidential campaign, Whenever we
.,noscd The cheats Of the Northern Taylor party Upcu

,.;non Of hat parry, as national organic ,tor, be
necessarily IN opposition to any restriction or mtatoa
az slavery, we we're stigmatized By those pure and
s.oinIess Sheets ne late "rrne Wing" and The E is,
with heipg guilty of misrepresentation and "talse>
hood" We are happy now in being able prove Tue
eotecncss Of all assertions then, BY The mouths of
Northern TayloTies themselves. IL has never been pre-
tended even By tie most bagclaced hypocre IN their
ranks that the Southern portion OF their party were in
favor ofthe Pfoyiso, but, respectable men among US,
have yenturcd 10 assert that the sGeaelh Of the Wing
party lay principally at the North and that h' reoIe
when ia national couucl the Northern seciia would
have the msjoss,, ard so the Ploviso woaid get its

rates in national conclave let which section gets
the prepondeEance.
