Our duhrT having been i0fa NiHH VINE i-
ienupisd wo return 30 them. and. asa hri
work. make the following corrections Of eno-
neous statements made by the Wing 10 which
we call attention.
The wilkinson Whig Of September 18th,
sad, "Ths Republican IS Publishing, in install
menis, the disgraceful disunion harangue Of
r. B Rhett7 lna reply we denied that It
deserved thf character, and called upon the
Wing 10 cite one single disgaeeiul word or sem
timent ia Mr. Rheu's speech. The Wing
pointed out several lall Of which We have
shown to be, in the highest degree, Irathiul and
honoable) and among them said:
again, Bheit says, Iet the Union be dis
solved, and foreign nations will make our
prosperity their interest, and our security
their care"
And upon this quotation the Wing remarked
that here was a man 80 spirited as 10 be
Ready TO dissolve the Union, unless
South Carolina can have a Biaj0y1ty in the
nations council yet Offering her up a win.
ing victim to foreign nations, fairly bidding
for a place at the feet Of some European
power"
We then showed that the quotation made
above by the Wing, was not only not a correct
one, but that what Mr.. Rhett did sag, was not in
the remotest degree, susceptible of the mean
ing given by the Wing and we made the
quotation from MI. Rhett's speech correctly
as follows:
"By our physical power we can protect
ourselves against foreign nations whilst by
our productions We can command their
peace or support. The keys of their wealth
and are in our hands, which we
will freely offer to them, by a system of free
trade, making our prosperity their interest
our security, their care
The Wing, of Sept. eth, quotes this extract,
aud, in commenting, says;
THE above extract we take from the Re-
publican; l0e rec&On IL IS autheRtic-at all
events, tits near the fountain head of sub
s%ervient disunion as we care 10 get. In the
last Wing, Schea zee quoted The ADORE Senti-
ment of resisting Mr.. Rhett, we confess IL
waS not done so fully as is now done by this
extract. And to save the Republican from
any Indignation, and ourselves from any sus-
pjcion of unIairness, we will state, ne gaUe
tie extract as zee sa10 IL qH0tct. It sounds
to us very much like Judge fuckers econ
c~essions to England, " which in the name of
, South he offered at the Nashville Conven-
ton. He and Rhett are the same style OF
, patriots"
There are several things in this part of the
: comments which should be noticed, and we
have italicised part ofthem. After having char
aoterized, as disgraceful, a speech which the
, Republican was publishing, made by an honor
. able and sensible man, and being asked to point
out some disgraceful word or sentiment, the
Wing makes a quotation which is not correct,
but false both in leord aud sentiment; and. upon
being corrected, makes the proper quotation,
and says, 1--WE reckon it is authentic and 1--WE
gave the extract as we saw it quoted" 1t was
the 'haranguen the Republican published, the
Wing characterized as disgracelul. Was this
: quotation made from the Republican, As,
suredly moi. In fairness, all quotations to
prove the position OF the Wing, should have
been from the speech as there published, Yet
it has taken a quotation from some enemy to
the South, who manufactures itto suit his own
purposes.
But the Wing, though it reckons the correct
quotation we gave to be authentic, does moi
s come out ingenuously, and acknowledge it
, self to have been in error, but persists and says
i "when we quoted the abope sentiment of the
resisting Mr.. Rhett, we confess Il irGs done Sc
a fully as Is aoip doas by this erlrtat." Now OF
| what occasion did the Wing quote the senti
i ment contained in the correct quotation we
b gave or did the Wing quote that sentimeu
$ at all, either fully or ever in a remote degree
: The sentiment quoted by the Wing was, lie
r the Union be dissolved, and foreign nations vii
; make our prosperity their interest and our seeu
= rity their care, Now is this the sentimen
. contained in the proper quotation? ltappear
to us that nothing could be farther from it.
We ask the editor of the Wilkinson Wing
o this be fair. Is it correct, either in one whos
/ place it is to inform the public correctly, or il
! one who wishes 10 argue fairlyl
n But if the Wing had, in the first place, quo
/ ted the sentiment correctly, why give 10 thu
!, proper quotation another Interpretation, whicI
the Wing doesl
L The Wing says that, ut sounds to us yer,
z much like Judge fuckers concessions to Eng
z land which, in the name Of tie South, he OF
! tered to the Nashville Convention, We pub
lished a LARGE portion of that Speech and sav
no such "concesSions"-we are sure that W,
saw none-in the said speech. Will the WIFI
be so good as to be more specific.
Let us see if the Wing be more fortunate il
u this Interpretation of the disgraeeful part @
Mr.. Rhett's speech, than he was in his forme
