1,bo Presidents message is in the hands of your
his policy is fully disclosed; and it is no lon
,or in the power of dishonest politicians to nslead
them in regard to his purposes. Notwithstanding the
solection BY Mr. Fillmore the northern champion Of
the Fueitire Slave Law to ibis Secretary OF State 1T
pretended by Massachusetts Wings, and this in the
face n his own approval of the the law that the Pres
dent had no agency in its enactment. Time, which
tries all hings has disclosed the truth in respect to his
sentiments and purposes. The hour when he could no
longer conceal his policy, has arrived. and the northern
President stands ioth the undSgused advocate of the
;,iritous law. His cabinet is with him. There is
not bright spot in this administration; on which,
wbir who hesitates between his Of duty and his
Aabua reverence for his party canlook with comfort
hone. Even Corwn, the once eloquent Corwin, who
might have stood for liberty against the world, has be-
come the humble obedien tme-serving instrument of
an intensely pro.slavery administration Social infu-
eace the love Of Office southern power, and southern
,aresses. seem to have dissolved all the elements Of
manhood within him. And he, who might have been
the standard bearer in the nobest of earthly conflicts

civilized Texas, may demand.
To you Mr.. Editor, or 10 those who have co-opera
ted with you for three years past, the full develop
ment of the policy of the administration brings sur
prise You have observed the constantly accelerated
course ofthe wing party, its descending pane and
the law ii obeyed irresistible as the law of gravitation
YOU knew, would not suffer it step short Of the low
level it has reached But is matter, of curiosity
merely but of deep socitude to know what viii be the
views Of the remnant of respectable citizens who still
adhere to the wing party in the County Of Worcester.
They have too much serepect to profess opposition to
the ''atrocious' black law, and at the time
tain the administration The tine for subteFfuge is
past The President not only approves of that act
and its kindred measures but distinctly ntmates that
he will veto such s'hasty" legislation would be a
peal or essential modification of the odious law. All
parties so understand the portion Of his message, which
treats the ''peace measures as ''fnal settlement Of
all differences The intelligence of our people will not
fail to perceive that it is the true construction. Let

What them repeat, win be the of the wings
of Worcester county9 They have reached a new era
in their party history and the times seem demand
that they should pause and reflect upon the tendency

disgraceul career. One State after another has orsak
the Wings, the party has gradually abandoned all
its prominent principles until throughout the free States
there remains none but the little State of Rhode Island

party In their own county, wing friends have
seen avalanche after avalanche break away from the
mountain of their strength. They have fallen into
hopeless minority, without the consolation of having
fallen in defence of their principles, The question,
what will they do! has reference 10 few of the
leaders of the party in the county They will go dog

with those who struggled to the gigantic power
of slavery BY them the principles inscribed on the
Wing banner, ''No n1ue SlaUe Taritmy,' g No mre
