Last year, immediately after the defeat of the Wbie

denly awakened to a very clear view of the causes
mat ana made public certain opinions which 81

managed to keep cetains'guIIible class of our fell
ow ci'lzehs IN the Wing ranks. few DAYS after the
state election OF last year, the Atas appeared with an
ar''cic' from which we give the following extract:
I'VE have been whipped this year, because ma

Now pray tell us, Mr. Atlas, what course has the
wing party pursued, since the avowa af your opinion,

The Whig State Address of 1S4S asserted, that
'the Wings of Massachusetts may nightly claim the APP
eiatlon ofthe free soil paHy.' The Boston Bee, one
't the leading Wing papers, in leading editorial of
he 2Sd Sept. last, in speaking of the position Of
Natonal Wing, assumed by Mr., Winthrop, made the
blowing significant remark "Of these results the
Wings of Massachusetts may well feel proud They
ave taken their stand broad national ground: they

In the first extract, which we have given from the
Boston At, it is clearly admitted that the people haze
eason to believe that the Whig party has been false
he great question of human freedom-and this ad.
mission from the leading Whig paper in Boston.
This the opinion Of that paper, last year, and it
will not be conended by any person, that the position
Of the Whig party is any favorable to human
freedom this year than it last. The whig party
has adopted ''to plant themselves on the old
and honored platform of freedom they are more false
to that platform than before, and we may there

themselves in "still smaller minorityn That this
may be the result Of the coming election it behooves
