THE FREE SOIL ORGAN PLAYS.

Ihese the sole accents from his tongue that fell'
The Free Soil Organ at Raleigh has opened its
mouth again, spoken about as much at random as
usual, and proves the of an assertion he has
made, that hurricanes seldom last long, In has
instance, at least, the tharricune' of Free Soism
which the power behind the organ wished to sweep
over the State has lasted longer than thought the
prudence of that rear-power would have allowed
But so it is, for
When the masters speak, servants must obey"
The hurricane we say has lasted longer, but its
effects have not been sad its results in any way
very faa unless it be those who have tried to ride
the Storm
This, the most puissant organ of the times says he
most noble Roman,' reflects the spublic sentiment
and comedies with public opinion In what does
he reflect it? IF the sentiment behind the organ
be public, then he does reflect If the opinion behind
the organ be public, he is most faithful coincidence
with 1t. But these opinions and sentiments are only
public IN one sense of the word. and that is their
having been publicly proclaimed s.renders them
public and In this connection only can they be called
public sentiment and opinion.
The organ believes the Wilmot Proviso constitu-
tlonal-we mean, that certain dignifed power be-
hind the organ, believes this and the organ is oblig-
ed to reflect it, But in doing this, we unhestatng-
ly say, that he does reflect public sentiment in
North Carolina. A few, most precious and conspi-
few, may believe with the aforesaid power and
its faithful reflector but the masses of North Caro-
lima, never. The masses of North Carolina believe
assent to the dogma, that Wilmot Provisoism is
constitutional? When that time arrives patriotism
will have lost its charm, justice have thrown awav
her dvinely balanced scales, State-rghts be merged
into political heresy, and constitution become
mere plaything for the political elements, tossed
about by every hurricane which foes it's true mean
ing and intent, may choose to raise. Yet this organ
has the audaclty, the cool impudence, the unblush-
ing temerity, while believing the Proviso constltu-
tiona to proclaim the bold assertion that he reflects
public sentiment in this State.

oh shame! where is thy blush %
The Free-so Organ intimates, that having been at
the Greensborough Convention, and there conversed
with many western men, they agreed with him. IF
he means to say they agree with the power in the
of the organ upon the Proviso, he has then
versed with very few upon the subject We have
conferred with many men in the west, both public
men and the masses, and we know they do not agree
with him.
Nearly all Of them that have paid any attention to
the subject, agree with their distinguished represen-
tatives in Congress, the Hons. Willie P Mangum and
Thomas L. Clingman, and not with certain power
behind the organ ofSouthern Freesoiism in Raleigh
1t natural that the Freesoi organ, located at
the metropolis, should indulge in buster gasconade,
and in an eervescence of vain resentment and indip-
nation, upon reading the letter from Mr.. Clingman
to Mr.. Foote. 1t perfectly natural for organ
which had been playing the echo parts tunes ar
ranged and composed by the political musician be-
hind the organ, to GO off into such divertise-
mong-bang! bang smash! smash and artillery
bum bum!'' as that spoken of by the g Bunknm
Flag Staff when NJ. Fidel Stickh in playing yankee
doodle sent the yankee personated in the tune with
a spt-spattn, zig-zaggng, rushin, gushn, set of
nothin left of him but smoke" 1t was perfectly ma
tural we say, for the Free Soil Organ after reading
that letter. and especially after seeing the postscript
swimming before his fearful eyes, play some such
tune and send and all West Carolina smack into
the air. with nothin left of us but smoke" If
any one have the blues we commend them to the
'Bunkum Flag Staff Ga first rate paper published
in the N. Y. knickerbocker.) the Free Soil Or
gan at Raleigh and if they have any appreciation of
the ridiculous, they will laugh them off sure. AS to
raising any serious emotion, neither of those funny
papers pretend to attempt such absurdity.
Hornets Nest.
