Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1850-11-02

Here aud there Wing paper has enough brass or
stupidity, I've are not quite certain which for II looks
like both) 10 claim that the Yhg party had share
IN passing that Fugitive Bill The iimorous cid Cour-
ant gels up courage 10 speak in defense of Daniel
Webster, and tries To deceive somebody by circulat-
ing false article from the Springfield Republican.
No man in the country did 50 much to pass the
fugitive slave bill, as Daniel Webser-Iis ''great,
infamous speech opened the way for its passage, en-
couraged some TO vote for and others withdraw
opposition, land made lis success certain That speech
bNathed into it the breath oflile and set ii in motion,
lie said of Mason's bil,-''I propose to support
that bill to the fullest EXTENT His by play, after
wards, about jury trial. was 4 mere game, that
meant dust for Northern eyes: he never tried to make
Ii mean any thing more He has supporedth the fugl-
tive slave bill. He adopted it and used all his IN
fuence to get it through Congress.
Willard Fillmore, your Northern Wing President,
APPROVED the infamous bill and MADE IT A
LAW, by signing it. After this and the other Com
promise measures had passed the Senate the Fill
more-whg papers in New York, claimed aud supper
ted them as administration measures True, other
wings opposed the bill; but then your party is mis-
cradle coalition" in which the hunkers hare the
President and the polcer. Who of you, presumes
to be otherwise than supporter of this Websterzed
! Fillmore administration
"But, in the House, 81 Northern Democrats voted
scorn of freemen yet blast them for doing 1t is
also true that Cas- and theother Democratic hunkers
worked for the bill.
This however does not change the facts above
stated, in the least alter another fact, viz that
while wings voted for it, "a we're ''absent or not
voting" Most of these absentees lodged. Their
lodging so direct and undenIabe, that after the
bill had passed, Mr.. Stevens of Pennsylvania pro-
posed to send page to inform them that they could

Duer of New York among these dodgers, and
they are among the most jealous supporters of the
bill
Say what you will, gentlemen, those who play this
lodging game and try to make capital out of it, are
the very worst and meanest enemies of Freedom.
The country has had enough of the contemplate game
which these men play, and of which you try to take
advantage. Brazen hunkersm is far more respecta-
bic. We heartily repudiate both.
We have yet TO hear ofthe whig newspaper which
censures Fillmore who not only signed the BILL but
used his influence to get it through the House. The
wing press supports him; the whig conventions en-
dorse him. From the President who signed that
fugitive slave bill and from his premier. Daniel
Webster who first gave it vgor TO start on its way
through Congress, can unbroken chain reaches down
to the humbes adherents'' of their party, binding
them all to the responsibility.
There are wings whose fidelity to principle has
been proved; but, that whichIve admire in gthese
men, is not derived from the wing party, and does
not belong to it. [They are not true men because
they are wings, but in spite oft.
Neither Fillmore nor Webster appear to shrink
much from facing the music. Those who support
their administrations should be manly enough to fol-
low Their example. But, gentlemen, if you really
mean to keep up this hypocritical game,-if you
really think of getting support for this intensely pro-
slavery administration by appeals to the anti-slavey
men of the North, you should Immediately engage
the services of that veteran apostle of your political
church, James Wilson, late Nj. C. from New Hamp-
shire. His former services in this State will be long
emembered.-HartfordR Republican.
