TRICKS OF THE ENEMY.

Of the day has failed to discover the
anxiety of the conductors of the Loco
foco press to excite dissentions in the
Wing party, on the subject Of the pow
er of Congress to egislate over the ter
ritorics, particularly in regard to slave
ry. Praise and abuse of leading Wings
is alternately INDUCED in, as those mock
patriots best think will subserve their
selfish purposes. The tones of pity in
which they sometimes speak, in order
TO excite the anger of the individuals
over whom they are shedding crocko.

and worthy of imitation by some "hero

the toploflical panegyrics they pass up.

Particularly is this course adopted

should the Wings stand firmly together,
and support their candidates, there is
but little doubt of their success. The

work. We copy few of its articles,

their guard. The Wing party, indi-
vidualIy or collectively, has nothing to

our State, and give us as party, foot
hold which, by proper management,
could never be broken. Shall such
hopes and prospects be blighted and
blasted by issues which have no pract-
cal bearing, and which are fed and
famed by such articles as the follow
ing. from the Democrat of the 10th:
The Missouri Statesman announces Col.
Samuel A. Young, Of Boone county, as a
: candidate for the State Senate, for the Dis
lrict composed OF Boone and Audrian. We
have heard Of this nomination with much
pleasure, for we have understood from the
best authority, that Col. Young takes the
ground that Congress has not the Constitu
, tional power to pass the Wilmot Proviso-
that he boldly denies tina; power TO Congress
that he repudaes the Benton, Miller, Van
Buren,, and The ,chole batch Of 81. Louis and
Northern Free Sellers, on that head and
not only so, but that he openly and man(ul.
ly declares that he will not support any man
who advocates that doctrine. Col. Young
is too honorable gentleman 10 connive at

purity OF his sacred opinions, and we rejoice
to lean that there is no doubt he will be the
: Wing candidate for the State Senate from
I these counties But how will the Statesman
reconcile it 10 himself 10 support candidate
for Congress who advocates this power in
Congress, and another candidate for the
State Senate, who so resolutely denouncea
it? Mr.. Miller, the Wing candidate for
Congress, in this District, supports that obi
Gus doctrine Of absolute power in Congress
and Col. Young condemns it without stint OF
} measure.
s We contradicted this statement last
; week, upon the authority of recent con
| versations with Col. Young; and we
now have the pleasure of again contra
dieting it, from the hes. authority
' by the following paragraph, which we
! find in the last Missouri Statesman, pub
, lished in the town in which Col. Young
resides. The contradiction is as fol
lows, from the Statesman of the l7lh:
Col. YouYG.-The last Fayette Demo
craL says il understands from the best au'
thority" that Col. Young, candidate for lh'
, Senate in this District, "repudiales" John q
! Miller and viii not support him for Congress
because Of his views touching the power o
Congress on the subject OF Slavery in the
: Territories. We are authorized by CoIone
, Young to say the statement is talSe and thai
3 in his Judgment Mr.. Miler's sentiments OF
the question Of power, have nothing TO dt
: with his Whiggery, and that he will cordial
Iy support him. Mr. Miller has not bette
friend in the District than Col. Young. Th'
Democrat is requested TO copythis paragraph.
' This rather upsets the Democrat,
