WING PRINCIPLES

Afford the only sure foundation for The triumph
of Free Soil. To illustrate: what if the Wings
had not supported and elected Cen Toylor,
bound to the good old Wing doctrines against
the Veto and Executive Influence? Simply this
Cass would have come in, and the Vtto would
have nlpped every Free Soil act Of Congress for
four years at least. In vain would it be for the
people TO elect free soil members; in vain would
it be TO pass Wilmot provisos ana very lucky
indeed if Slavery should happen not to get into
The new territories while King Veto was holding
back every effort for lis exclusion. This HIGH
honor is due to Wing principles. Let honest
free sellers remember it. and do justice TO Wing
principles and The Wing party.

The Double Game.

The game Of coalition of late attempted in thu
Northern States was cooked up IN Washington
by the locofoco leaders, and is but part of the
plan cunnpgly devised 10 overturn tho present
I administration and bring the locofocos into pow
or again. The game is double; the chole plan

are parties to it; and if they do not make the
Northern locofocos their tools TO dc sayocratic
work, as usual, they will be mistaken. Thus
Virginia has been carried against the admins
tratlon expressly on Siarocraiic grounds and
thus in the pending elections in Tennessee, Ken.
lucky, and other Slave States, the Locofoco cry
is that the administration is opposed 10 Slavery.
At the same moment the opponents of the ad
mlnislraton in Vermont raise precisely the OPP
poste cry. The object of both is the same
their means of obtaining it are contradictory
This fact must be kept in full view, if you would
correctly understand the coalition. Disgracelu
as such political tfickery is, it is jus, exactly the
game of locofocolsm in 1910 For specimen

The Mobile Register and journal, (Ala.) had an
editor in very snug berth under Polk, who has
been relieved from further official duty under
Taylor. Odd as it may seem, he don't seem to
like the Presidents Cabinet, whom he calls the
lieptorchy' and says:
"Gen. Taylor, negectng high opportunities,

obnoxious Cabinet that ever linked knees around

White River Wool Depot.

i
! AS the wool growers of this section arc not
yet prepared to establish Depot of their own
we suggest trial Of the one at White River,
by way of experiment.
| The encouragement FOR the directors to omen
this Depot, with pledges TO the amount OF 10
COO lbs is such that they have seen fit TO make
all suitable arrangements to open the same for
the reception of all grades OF wool on the 25th
OF June next, at the Store House of George Ly-
man near the mouth Of White River, with de
sire that sufficient patronage will be given to
the enterprise, TO make this permanent oca-
ton for future operations. All those who anti
cipae carrying wool to this establishment, will
do well TO observe the following directions.
Wash your sheep clean, which is more readily
done by wettlng or soaking the flock before
washing, or wash them soon after a rain. After
washing, the sheep should be put in clean pas
lure. Alter this If the weather is suitable, shear
itg should be done in four or six days.
Care should be taken to keep the feeces clean
and do them up IN good shape, exposing the
finest portion of the fleece as much as conven.
lent. Use the common sheep twine passing it
from two to ion. times round the fleece, drawing
the string sufficiently tight to keep 1t together.
If you have spring tags it will be deemed just
to put an equal quantity into each fleece, after
cleansing the same.
Keep cut all unwashed tags and pulled wool.
Nothing but merchan.ablc wool should be put
into the tleects. 1t Is desirable all wool should
be deposited by the 10Th OF August.
The following rules vii. be strictly observed
at the Depot.
Each depositor, when he brings his wool, will
receive certificate of deposte, stating the num-
Der OF feeccs, weight, &C.; and US soon as con-
venent he will have statement furnished him

"a Mares Nest" The Green Mountain Free
mai undertakes 10 excuse the coalition in Yer
mont on the ground that Judge Lane of Alaba-
ma advzes the Wings Of Il at State TO nominate
James E. Belser Taylor Democrat, for Gov
eruor-the said Judge Lane lorilfying his posi-.
ton by reminding the Wings that they shave
been IN the minority, and that there always has
been Democratic majority in the Sae;" that
they should therefore select a moderate Demo-
crat--"one of those who have been called Tay.
Tor Democrats, not because they feel bound 10
follow Gen. Taylor, be lie right or wrong, but
because they have acted in accordance piM The
principles phich he protested for the regulation of
his administration" In other words, Judge Lane
holds that those men, who have ucted with the
wings on the Taylor platform, and thus become
one with them, ough, not to be cut off because
they were once Democrats-but rather that they
Dug to be taken into full communion and hon
ored, and thus others will be encouraged 10 come
too. This the Freeman calls "Hhig Coah.
fion! Monstrous!" Certainly it is Whig CO.
aliton and nothing else" aud very far from be.
ing mopstrous. 1t is rather very natural and rea-
sonable: those "Taylor Democrats" rallied un.
der The Wing standard in the last campaign
they support The present Wing administrations
ana certainly we do not see why they are not
now just as much, if not quite so old Wbps. as
The best When the Freeman can trump ND n
coalition of the WhigS of Alabama with fine
Cass and Butler LOcoiocos, it will DO to comuare
with the late operation here. Until such an &C.
currence, the coalition of the late supporters Of
the Cass and Butler Slavocrucy with the late
Liberty party, will be without parallel in poli,
lcal trcSery.

o. The Patriot asserts that two or three
PoSmesters lately removed in this State are Free
Soil men, who voted for Van Burcn in Novem
ber? What, then? All the men appointed il
their places arc just as good fec soil men. We
venture TO say that the gentlemen removed were
not known at Washington as free soil men un-
der the Polk dynasty, which the Patriot support.
ed to the last moment. Had it been known
Polk would have dismissed them. Does the Pat.
riot forget Ned Barber of Midllebury, the Brat.
,eboro' Postmaster, &c. &C.? II these men
were actually Free Sellers, their conversion prob.
ably was rather late, and doubtless never was
known TO Judge Collamer. At any tate, we are
sure they never were removed for that Cause.
Neither free soilisn, nor locofocosm, nor any
other ism, is per Sc recognised by the Pos, Mas
ter General as cause for removal. This fac,
has too often been announced, and removals
have too often been refused for want of other
causes than these, 10 permit the Patriot to per-

ANOTHER SLp.--The Patriot chrnnicles N

ANOTHER SLIP.--The Patriot chronicles the
organization OF the New Hampshire Legislature
and announces that The democrats elected their
Speaker, &c. &c. All pray tell your readers
what these democrats are. 1t is tolerably well
understood among the Wings and Free Soil men
of New Hampshire that these democrats" were
all opposed to Free Soil. In fact, the Wings
aud Free Sellers ACT together in New Hampshire
il was by the united efforts of the Wings and
Free Sellers that John p Hale was elected TO
the Senate and Amos Tuck and james Wilson
TO the House--and their opponents were these
very men whom The Patriot still recognizes as
"democrats.

FREEDOM OR SLAVERYm

the only issue you can nuke with us, the ques.

And TO cap alias if conscious that the SIN
ceri,y of its very sudden conversion from the

1--WE CAN SEE 80 CAT UNDER THE MEAL, nor
do we think any clear sighted man can"
This with such as this, is the Patriots public
profession on the 18th of June as 10 the purpose
OF the coalition. 1t is purely anti slavery accor-
ding TO the Vermont Patriot and thus, if the
Patriot is correct, the locofoco leaders hare ut
