facts which cannot with trulh be denied or gain

South had in the North Nor can il be denied

been constantly hunting them down, making
this very friendship to the South and support OF
Southern rights the pre,ext and cause OF accuse.
against them.
But these are not all the facts going to show
the treachery of Southern Wings to Southern
iutcresls-conduct which has tended more than
all other causes to ALLEVIATE the Democratic
friends Of the South, and to throw her great
interests at the mercy of Northern Abolitionsm.
In the session of lsi2-43 the 2lst rule was
repealed. 1t was accomplished by the unani.
nous vote of the Northern Wings, and portion
of Northern Democrats and several Southern
WhigS-S,anly Of North Carolina, and Bolts OF
Virginia, being among them. Here is an in
stance in which Southern Wings not onl Y de.
serted the true friends of The South from the
North, but they deserted the Southern cause
itself After such, betrayal OF Southern
interests by the Southern Wings, could the
South look longer even to the Northern Demo.
Gratis for sympathy and support. We appeal
to all candid Southern men Of all parties, and
coninre 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.. Claylon's compromise bill was
offered; and while no: Northern Wing voted
for it, enough Of the Northern Democratic
Represe natives did, to insure its passage if ali
the Southern Wings had voted for it. But
they did not. Eight of them, including Ste.
phcns of Georgia, and Pendeton Of Virginia,
voted against, defeated it, and left legacy for
the present, to distract the country and menace
its peace and tranquility. Here is another
deserlion of Southern interests by Southern
Wings, acting in alliance with the Wings of
the North, who were unanimous against the
passage of the compromise bill.
But the catalogue of treachery on the part OF
Southern Wings to southern interests is not yet
complete. The Democrats nominated can.

question of slavery in the territories. He was
supported at the South, on the ground that he
was Shareholder, which was aledged to be
sufficient guaranty to the South that he would
veto the Wimo Provso while at the North he
was supported on the ground that he would not
veto the Proviso, because he had pledged him.

moreover, as asserted by Abou Lawrence and

And this base game of treachory and double
dealing is still going on. Gen. Taylor has not
made known the course which he will pursue

designs to pursue in relation to this agatlng
question. And TO this day it is not known
whether or not Gen. Taylor will approve the
