feet, TO the that have transpred within few months
among which may be enumerated the choice Of Wade free

But there is still more proof The Boston Atlas, nfu

real organs of the sentiment of Whggery in the State We
make rather long extract because OF the important truths

We call attention the portions which we have Ndltcised
The great policy Of the Atlas is keep the Wing party
united but purpose of this is that the party into

DONE we know who the candidate will be, if the Atlas
and those who with it have their way IL will
not be the man who has saved the Union from dissolution

principle of "aruaJdty rich has gorerned the Wing

which, the Wings Of Massachusetts exhoed 10 keep

"For part have say, that the wings choose
10 conduct n this way so be it, We are quite willing that
they should do all they beat the coalition, and
redeem the State. We mean TO give all the aid

But when for the accomplishment of this object members Of

We like the spirit of the Couriers remarks though it
crbes far much merit to Messs Webster and Fillmore,
whose odious and mischeyous policy first reused the
1i-savery "excemen" as Mr.. Webster called IT'D which
has brought the country into its present danger and which
has become unmanageabc in their hands, and with
redoubed force "pugue the inventors" We free
admit that there many patriotic Wings in the slave

Wing party under the control Of Seward e. Co.. perfectly

that the South has nothing hope for from the Wing party
which must always be controlled by Northern Whggery
which constitutes pepondeating majority OF their party
