JOIN &. HOLT, Jr, Editor,
THE WILKINSON WING.

The editor of tho Wilkinson Wing
has, IN his happy style of lightness and
hafaaleg, replied TO an article which APP
pearod in our last paper, in which, for the
first time, we noticed his sheet, and thought
proper to question his representation of the
sentiments of the wings of this county up
on the Nashville Convention resolutions,
more. particularly as shown in the recent
meeting OF wings Hnd democrats, in which
there were only three, or perhaps four, per.
sons who voted against them,
In the first place, the editor seems very
DESTROYS to know why it is we have never
before referred to or taken any notice OF
his paper, aud asks whether it be on nc
count OF our pride, or what We do not
know to what feeling of the human heart
the editor of the Wing will attribute our
reason, but we viii be candid, and state
truth. We could not conceive that any pos.
sible advantage could accrue to the demo.
cratic party, OF the country generally, by
noticing the Wing before this. We knew
that any one who believed the paper, whenit
gave forth psrty doctrines, could not be
convinced TO the contrary; and when it
preached up a~nti.Southern doctrines as the
opinions OF the wing party, We, though
amazed and chagrined, Were perfectly viii
ling that ii should, in this free country,
speak out The opinions OF so large and res.
sectab'e a portion Of the people. II il
were not sheir opinion we thought it their
duty to themselves 10 correct it; we had nc
data by which TO do so to the world, though
in ourself we had a good hope thut il wa
not, for we knew their patriotism. After
however, the demonstration Of the wing,
at the meeting here, and elsewhere in the
county, we thought it right to notice, fol
he purpose of undeceiving our Northern
enemies who note and take encouragement
from all such things aad Of setting us right
with our brothers Of the South, to init
mate that the report of the Wing, MS TO III,
anti.Southern sentiment of the Wings o
old Wilkinson. was not based upon a sar,
foundation.
= We acknowledge that, the Wing has, a
the editor states, often noticed us, bu
we generally thougat the doctrine and ar
ticle criticised a sufficient answer TO tn,
criticism, and consequently did not troubl,
o%utself. directly, to reply.
In speaking of what we conceived to b,
the " Northern principles of the editor o
the Wing, we gave il as our impression tina
he was born and educated north of Mason
4 Dxon's line taking advantage of which
the editor seizes upon the well known sym
pathy felt in the South for every fortorl
stranger. and the utter contempt, IN TIN

In the Senate on the 18th ult., Sem
ator Footc made a pretty severe on
slaught on Judge Tucker of Virginia,
and attempted to take of Southern ul-
traism generally, as has been his usual
habit Of late.
Afterhe concluded, Hale, the abolition
Senator from Vermont, then commented
on the change that had taken place re-
Gently, in tenor of the remarks of the
gentleman from Mississippi. He said
the remarks Ex-senator PUote were now
all directed against Southern agitators,
and that he had nothing to say iowa
days against Northern fanatics. We
have no respect for Hale, but his remark
is true. Southern ultraism is now Gen.
Foote'S theme for abuse and vitupera-
tion, and Hale seems to complain of it
a little, as he thereby loses an oppor-
tunity Of replying to him as he has here
tofore been in the habit of doing.
Whilst General Foote was waging
war against Hale, Seward, and other
fanatics of the North, a certain portion
of the Southern press could not find
epithets sufficiently contemptuous to
express their disapproval Of his conrse.
Now that he has turned his batteries
upon Southern %uttras, they are bestow-
ing upon him the most fulsome adula-
ton. When abusing abolitionists, they
denounce him; when abusing Southern
men, they eulogise him. adisoniaa.

weakness shown by this willihgnesst TO concede

increasing demands. The parallel OF latitude
of 36e 3Oi divides Missouri from Arkansas,
Tennessee from Kentucky, and Virginia from
North Carolina: all lave States; II Is not then
likely that the western country, lying south OF
this line, is so wholly unsuitee to slave labor as
persons would have us TO suppose. let how
ever, the actual and hourishing existence Of an
institution in a country determine whether
or not il be suited to that country. 1t is a no
torious fact that slaUery exists over all Thu

seen this species Of population, can think with
out the greatest commiseration OF their unhaP

But in the case of peonage, the master is cred

possible to bring his wife and then his chill

The Editor of the Wilkinson Viii

The Editor of the Wilkinson Wing says
1--WE donot belong to Rhett's school of the
South, and should not like 10 become a scholar
where so much rope is needed for proper disci-
pine"
In other words-that Mr. Rhett, and all ofthe
same school of the SOUTH deSrue to be, and
should be, HUNG!
The crime for which Mr. Rhett deserves, in
the estimation of the editor, so melancholy a
fate, is that of holding that, when the Bond Of
Union, the Constitution, has been broken, the
states held together by that bond, are really
loosed, and have the rightto declare it broken
and themselves free from It: or, to express il
diferently--tha tie Northern States disaoIye Thu
Union By bredking the Constitution, the Bono
Of Union,
According to this declaration of the editor o
the Wilkinson Wing, Mr. Calhoun, and almos
every Southern Statesman, the Legislature o
almost every Southern State, a large majority
of the people of Wilkinson county, the editor o
the Woodville Republican, and almost the
tchole Southern people, deserve to be HUNG, be
cause they all hold the same criminal doctrine
are of the same Rhett school of opinion, w,
nave no doubt but that this opinion as to on
guilt is shared by the abolitionists; and that afte
having, by means of our negroes, thinned u
out with the knife, they would use the rope, witt
| guSto and dispatch.
