We snrprzsd to hear of Mr. Toombs acting with
the Democracy. Some months since he repudiaed the
Wing party as follows
| 4 WING WirSEss-Robert Toombs Esq, the leader Of
Wings in House Of Representatives, in speaking OF
the Wings of the North says:
Though utterly defeated in this great conflict the anti
slavery sentiment is yet dangerous and formidable clement
in American pucs ls acknowledged exponent IL the tree
soil party but also virucnt and dangerous both IN Inc
Mig aud Democratic parties OF the North. The NhiG
party has succubd 10 it, AID il controls the organization
III that paiy in every non saveholdng State in the Union
Ii is thoroughly enaonalized and seconalzcd by it, and
will never make aiiona with the Nlnhrups
and vintons and Jolnsons and Badwins OF the North
in another national convention We indebted ID the de-
feat OF the policy these for the existence q! the 60
vern,nent OF this day. We shall huS! them more"
Since the above written, we have received intelligence
Of Mr. Toom;s extraordinary speech in the State Capitol
Of Georgia, in which he announced that the Constitutional
Union party will adhere its present, isolated ntepcn

mucratic eations, year that it will wait until those
conventions have assembled and forth their principles

either side that Indispensable condition for their sup
port the National Convention, whether Wing Democratic

platform; and hat--ihis condition complied withihe

These revelations curious but interesting They indi-
cate what we have all along maintained that The Democrat

and tina, masses Of the Southern Wing party will abandon
their own shveng and rapidly dissoivns organization and
will rally around nominee and the platform Of the sea,

examination of the tendencies OF the movement presented
by Mr. Toombs freely that no safer poll
