alone the South could rely for the defence Of her

shire was temporarily broken down and icalpd
by the treachery of Hale, Southern Wings, both
orators and presses, were loud in their reloicings
at The event. They eyulted at the election of
Hale to the Senate and again in the election Of
Wilson aud Tuck (AboIitonistsl to the House.
These are facts which cannot with truth be de,
MED or gainsayed. 1t cannot be denied that SO
far back as the adoption OF the tweny.frst rule,
the Northern Democrats were the only friends
which the South had in the North. Nor can il
be denied that from that day to this, Northern
Wings, aided and abetted by Southern Wings,
have been constantly hunting them down, ma.

other causes to ALLEVIATE the Democratic friends
OF the South, and TO throw her great interests at
the mercy of Northern Abolilionism. In the

Northern Wings potion of Northern Demo-
Gratis, and several Southern Whigs-Sanley of
North Carolina, and Bolts of Virginia being
among them. Here is an instance in which
Southern Wings not only deserted The true
friends otthe South from the North, but they de
serted the Southern cause itself After such a
betrayal of Southern interests by the Southern
Wings, could the South look longer even to the
Northern Democrats for sympathy and support.
We appeal to all candid Southern men OF all par.
ties, and conjure them to ponder this question:

But the catalogue of treachery on the part Of
Southern Wings TO Southern interests is not vet
complete. The Presidential election cnsued.-
The Democrats nominated a candidate who
arowcd himself III favor Of non intervention in
reference to the territories. On the other hand,
the Wings put forward candidate who would
not commit himself on the question of slavery in
the Territories. He was supported at the South,
on the ground that he was STAKEHOLDER, which
was alleged to be sufficient guaranty TO the
South that he would veto tie Wimo Proyiso

ground that he would not veto the Proyiso, be,

Thus was deliberate fraud perpetrated upon Ell
Their the North or the South and perpetrated too,
through the agency of a Southern Wing slave,

And this base game Of tIeachery and double
dealing is still going on. Gen. Taylor has not
yet made known the course which he will pur-
sue in the event Of the passage Of the WiImot
Proviso. His personal organ in this city, the
Republic, refuses to answer questions put to it
with a view to ascertain what course Gen. TaY.

question. And to this day it is not known wbeth.
