The progress has shown an extraordinary revo-
luton in the history Of parties. Mr. Tosmbs distinguish
ed non Wing Georgia. has recently published circn
lar 10 his constituents in which he admits that the Wing
party is electuuly destroyed Here is what he says:
although utterly defeated in this great conflict the anti
slavery sentiment is Yet dangerous and iordaoc eeNe
in American politics. Its acknowledged exponent IS 'te
su unrv but il is also yrucnl and dangerous both IN
the Wing ana Democratic parties Of the North ne wing

North in another national convention We indebted 10
the defeat the policy Of these for the existence Of the
government, OF this day. We shall trust them more"
Mr. rooa5s admits that "e Wing party has succunbed

ganzaon O! that party in every savehoding State in
the Unon 'rhe wing party is thoroughly dcnat!onazcd

will never the Stewards, and Wnhros and Nntons
and Johnsons and Baldwns of the North in unuher Ma
,iona Convention We are indebted the defeat of the
policy these FOR the existence Of the government this
dav We SHALL TRUST THEM no MORE"
This influential Wing declares that 'the existence OF the
government itself depended upon the dcea OF The lead
ing Wings Of the Norh-and that it is The DEM
ocracy OF the country, both North and South, that
must lock for the safety OF the Union, ani the
continued existence of The government itself The
Mobile Register says, there still ma!iy Northern
Democrats many lin Sardis who have did their .al-
nents" who faithful the Constitution and Ia The
whole country We expect the North and The South
unite in elevaing such office and Distinction Is this

MiIIson, Who though differing with particular
sures precisely upon the platform with
Selves Moreover if strict and thorough support OF thc
Compromise be made test Of devotion 10 the Cnon is
done by the Portsmouth and the Richmond Wing Mr.
Bolts &c, &; Nilsson has shown that only .lrentseren
members Of the last Congress voted for The uoic Compro
misc and according to the logic Of those papers, the other
200 members OF Congress must be stamped with dsunion"
Their reasoning is most absurd and suicidal.
The following article from the Abingdon Democrat which
dslked the compromise hews the position of The De-
mocracy OF Virginia the present time Ii the Portsmouth
Wing deduce from any arguments PROSTATE Gen.
Mson his colleagues in Congress- il may make the
Of il. Taken in connection with Mr.. Toombs' strong de-
nunciations clearly shows hut the Wing party such is
the disunon pay,-that the Democratic Is the Union
party With these garing facts, how it possible for
Union Wings to hesitate which side they should as
sumo in the approaching contes2
n,r,y Sir,in;,
the Cnon and opposed 10 The repeal OF the Fugitive slave
law, any other disturbance OF the late "Compromse"
and those uf that party who originally opposed 10 the
Compromise based their opposition to il from an honest APP
prchenson (and well founded one two) that its adoption
would endangcr tic Union II the adoption OF the Cotpro
mise Measures greatly endangered the continued existence
of the Union. and was much worse adjustment Of the
involved than might have been made land about this d
rrcnt opinions may honestly te enteained it cGar to
ALL that the repeal modification of one Of The
ncnts OF The SERIES, is equivalent 10 disruption of The
whole and it will hardly be denied by the Wing press
themselves that the Wing party such is in favor OF
repea essential modification" of the Fugitive Slave Law
which would ace the Union in imminent danger. If oppo
ston 10 the Compromise makes one dsunionist, is not
The Wing party disunon party ii s in favor Of destroy
ing the Compromise by The repeal of the Fugitive Slave
Law? No State in the Union contcmplatcs a withdrawal
from il, unless South Carolina is exception and if Dem
ocatic President is elected in 1882 South Carolina we feel
confident will abandon all idea of scccdng least for
four years thereafter.
The Democratic Convention shortly assemble in Staun
on will doubtless put forth address the people the
State, setting forth The devoted attachment of the party TO
the Union and the Constitution and lis unytdng adherence
to all its ancient principles under which every good and
lover Of the Union do battle Let be prepared
in for the good the Union and by action
sustain the Democratic nominees; and il this be done
have fears for tie result The charge Of 'disunot'
should be promptly met ard fatty denied sublelse by
which the Wings hope to steal into power in this State
Every lover Of his country find in the principles NEIL
sn:es and policy o! the Democratic party, much admire
and support and TO the unbiased verdict Of an intelligent
people VIC shall cheerfulIy submit.
