Wing Tactics.


their usual humbug style, being as
dependent as heretofore upon strata
gem for success, have already an
nounced that the whig party can sue
coed in no other way in the coming
election, than by villifying, abusing
and misrep presenting the democratic
party upon the slavery question
that they intend to have repeated
from every stump in Tennessee what
their leading presses have been pro-
claiming for months, that the demo-
cratic party is a band of nullifers,
disuniomst5, and fre-eaters. And,
by part y of reasoning, they will
strive to make it appear that the
wings are the true friends Of the
South, and that the Union is only safe
in their hands. Well, let it come
it is no lore than we anticipated
the democ ratio party viii glory in the
issue. Who the true friends of the
Union and the constitutional rights
Of the Sol nth are, is SO simple a prob
lem, that the democrats would not
hesitate to submit it to the smallest
class in the most ordinary school in
the land-much less to the well-in-
formed voters Of Tennessee. We
blush fcr the Wire-workers when we
hear them setting out the evidence
on which they rely to convict US OF
the charge of disunion, nullificati0n'
&c; and Why tits their cheeks do not
, crimson with shame, and their
tongues Ulster, in the effort to lay
claim to being the only true friends
Of the Union and the South, Is a
matter beyond our comprehension.
H But, athe drowning man @iU catch at
+ a straw" AL the old issues are
swept away by the test Of experience;
State policy wont do and in a
dying agony they exclaim, with dis
torted features, ''Uhion!-Union!!-
Union.!!-God save the Union!!.!'
The damning sin. bf disunion, with
vi Iich the democrats are charged by
Il e whig leaders, consists ola untlr-
ing effort to vindicat e and sustain the
Union as It was handed down to US
BIZ our patriotic for fathers--in de-
yption to the onlyssprinciples calcui Ia
t4f to hold the Union together, q nd
ia a sacrificing effort to strengthen
the cords that, unite US in one com
N Dn brotherhood. BY perversion
of facts unparalleled in political his
to ry, the wings endeavor to 50 dis
to IT the patriotic motives Of the de-
m ocraEs, as to leave the impression
that they are nullifers and secession

as abs Ird. They hope, not expect

party in almost every move they
Lave made either for oragalnst the
Union. Coalitions with abollticnists

increase Of whig strength in Congress
IS winked at by the wing presses, II
not iust;fea. Fillmore, with all his
antilslayery sentiments, is now all the
rage; and Wing Governors, with thun-
,dering anathernas in their mouths are
now stoutly indicated. After this,
the intelligent reader will ask him
