to have had a share 10 the appointment OF such
a Committee aud then there M ghthave been
a compromise between the extremes Of the
two parties. But could it be called a lar
eompronlise when the democrats selected the
entire committee and when a wing gentle'
man was put on it who violently opposed the
resolutions of the Wing meeting.
On Tuesday night the sam officers Of the
democratic meeting took their places The
Wings did not all participate in the meeting
! heard a distinguished wing, a member OF the
legislature say he would not participated Be-
fore This committee CANT in with their report
a resolution was adopted, that all thu friends
Of the Constitutional rights of the Southern
States be invited to participate in the meeting
This was understood to be an invitation to the
Wings.
D. W. Adams made a report OF Tour reso-
@lutions, and an eloquent aad able speech an
their support and against the resolutions OF the
majority. Judge GuiOn and Col 1. Jones
Stewart being called for made eloquen: speech>
es in favor Of the resolutions OF the majority
George S. Yerger was then called for' and ID
a 81 eech, which for lofty patriotism and ielVid
elOouence, and mastery augmentation, 1t
would be difficult to excel, utterly demolished
the Objectionable resolutions Of the majority
He moved that Mr.. Adams rcsol vtions be sub
STUFFED for those Of the majority. But this
was voted down. And then the resolutions OF
the majority were refused to be put serlat I'm
but put altogether, and were adopted. Several
wings expressed a willingness to vote for some
of them II put separately. The LIST and End
resolutions think, would have met with no
opposition, unless it was because theywere no
responsive to the letter of our Congressman
The Bed charges President Taylor and Pres''
dent Polk with having acted unjustIy to the
South. and with intending to deprive the South'
ern peoale of an equal parficiI a%lionin the COM
mon property Of the people OF all the States
a charge, which, in the sense intended, is pal
pably without foundation as 10 both The Pres''
dents, for the President is one department o.
the HGoyernment." The 4th charges PresI'
dents Polk and Taylor, with pursuing a policy
in regard to California, which is about to Ell
ect indirectly the purpose OF the WIlmot FRO
yiso. This charge is also unjust to the living,
and TO the dead, and wholly groundIess, The
5th charges that. the admission OF California
g The result Of the aforesaid false and unJusI
p~olicy," on the part Of Presidents Polk ant
Taylor and Congress, would be "a fraud ant
oppression on the rights Of tie South" Thu
was also unjust and groundless as to the Pres
idents, and was opposed too. The 9th resolu'
ton, | think, would have met with no opposi'
ton. The TN referring this now phase to tn
Nashville Conventlon was opposed as unneces
cary, and calculated to weak n the real ground
of complaint already entrusted to tnat Conven
lion, &c. some Of the speakers seemed It
think that every man who would not endorse
the unsound principles and unjust charges IL
the resolutions, merited censure for hi
course. But say, "let justice and right b
done, though the heavens fAIl,'' is, and shoul'
be the Wing motto. Because the Wings Nj
ted with the democrats on sound principles,
does not follow that they should endorse er
rors or dogmas Of Gov. Matthews and Gov
Quitmani, orof Wings, however much esteemed
who 60 wrong with them.
