untiring in their denuncations OF slavery since ls44
The result OF the contest that year added large area 10

The object OF the speech made on that occasion was
70 prevent any further detection OF wings TO the abo
on organization This account given by Webster is the
truth, known 10 every intelligent politician and to none
better than to the wing editors OF this State. Such had
been the success OF the wings in raising the anti savery
excitement that thousands of wings had come TO The
conclusion that opposition TO slavery the only po

Now. we ask the wings If ever a wing editor gave
This information - the wings OF Kentucky! We don't
give the testimony Of J. r. Giddngs, Adams, Pal
frey, Allen, Mann. but the testimony OF the lead

one lauded daily BY the wing press of this State.

in breaking down the democratic party in those two
States. These men the democracy OF Kentucky have
recognised or acted with, and never will The
democratic party OF the Union don't recognise them
They look upon their victories as defeats
The whig press of this State note the conduct of these
nss and their elections democratic. With far
propriey could charge the wings with the conduct OF
Giddings, Allen. Palfrey, Mann, Il Co. This we have
done. But here is significant fact. In the late
Massachusetts, elections the wing candidates took the
ground these traitors 10 the democratic party
and claimed the votes OF wings on that ground. The
democrats in the second district repudiaed Rantou and
their candidate but the wings found occasion
10 abandon any OF their abolition wing candidates
They are good wings, belong to the wing party, and
their elections wing victories Now, we assure our
readers that the democrats have elected Massa
chusetts. They only 7ss strong in district of
$4,000 voters. Free soers and free soil wings have got
the State bodily. After the nomination OF RaDoul by
the democrats, be came out aboonisi-an opponent

their duty the people OF Kentucky in not letting them
know that the wings OF Massachusetts occupy the free

We Affirm that these editors know perfectly we'll that
