county has been fairly tested upon this 4ues-
tion. and are Of the opinion that, this day
there are more men ih favor Of the compro-
mise now pending before the Senate than
there are IN favor Uf that extreme Nashville
resolution to which W have expressed
dissent.

ed Mr.. Clays measures.
We have hitherto shown ourself disposed
not to be critical with the opinions Of cur
neighbor; this is the first time, indeed, that
we have ever referred TO the paper, but we
think this a time to correct erroneous impress
sions abroad.
The editor Of the Wing is an accomplish
ed gentlemen certainly but his place OF birth
and education, we believe, was not south OF
Mason and Dlxon's line, and we do not be-
lieye-we say it with all due Difference,
we will prove it herealer-that he Is a
Southerner in principle. The editor is also
very retiring, never mixing much with the
people, but combining himself to the society
of a few intimate friends. Under these cir
c~umstances, we Submit the question, Wheth.
cr is it most likely that the editor Of the
Wing, or that such men as Il. Jones Stew

Stockett, and many other Southern men
whom we could name, the most prominent
aud popular men Of the wing party, repre-.
sent truly the sentiments Of the wing party
Of Wilkinson? That he fully reflects the
opinions of his very few most intimate
friends, we do not believe admits of doubt,
and it goes to prove our assertion that he is
accomplished aud discerning.
This county, at the last election, was very
nearly equally divided between the wing
and democratic parties. Now we think that
we can safely youch that there are not three
democrats in the party who are opposed to
the Nashville Convention Resolutions, I'M
less it be on the ground showed forth by Mr..
Parish last Tuesday that we have a right
over the whole of the territories, and that
800 So is gaviag mp too much. We think
we can vouch this for the democratic party
IN toto. We know, also, that the strongest
wing precinct in the county has had a meet
ing, and has gone unanimously for the
Nashville Convention Resolutions. We
know, also, the demonstration last Tuesday
went to prove conclusively that the feeling
Is the same IN every other precinct in the
county. We are also aware that this is no
party question to separate wings and dem
ocrats, nor is there any principle or measure
of the wing party involved in it, and know
ing, beside, the intelligence and Southern
feeling of that party, we are disposed to use
this as an additional argument as to their
position with their brothers,
If there be doubt, however, ais to the po-
sition Of the whig party, (and if there be,
and we were a wing, W. could not long rest
under so painful an uncertainty it is easy to
decide the question. We do not know i'll
decd but that it is due to the party as intel
ligent Southern gentlemen, to settle this
thing beyond doubt, 1t is easy to call a
general meeting ofthe wing party. Asto the
propriety Of this measure, none can doubt +;
and we have no doubt but that to relieve
themselves from reproach they will eagerly
attend.

this assertion: There has been no attempt.

We are glad to see it admitted that our
meeting last Tuesday was not a failure

the differences to be drawn from those pre-.
ceding it) We must, however insist upon
