The Woodville Republican. [volume] (Woodville, Miss.) 1847-1853, 1851-05-27

The cay sdul. and the business men are
lounging about the bar-rooms drinking ~.
leps. aud the ncstaurals eating spring frogs
and pompanos. Business has grown slack
sooner this year than has been known in a
long while. Shipping IS scarce. and the l-
wee vacant.
The ST. Charles Hotel is springing rapid
ly from is ashes, aud soon is lofty spire and
dome will be sent heavenward, challenging
the attention and admiration of the stfan-
ger
Politically, Newor leans is quiet. Wedo
not believe anything on earth could induce
her to secede from the North. All her lux.
uries come from there. The Orlenians could
not live a day in their heated streets and
air.proof rooms, without ice. Weaving in
their fatness, they would run to oil as they
waddled along. All the OrIeaiian wants is
a full belly, a cool body, and a few dimes to
pay for juleps and segars. In his luxurious
bath, or at his burdened table, or over his
frosted glass. he cares but little for political
equality, or southern rights.
Gle wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
1t is absolute cruelty to excite his mental
or physical action after A o'clock; and so
long as the government does not actually
tread upon his toes, or disturb him between
the hours of 3 and 5 o'clock, p. NJ, he is per.
fectly willing to submit to any thing.
If the oyster.Iike people of OrIcnns'have
any activity, i. is displayed in the Jackson
and NewOrleons railroad project. They
want the distance shortened between theil
bowels and the fat beeves and rich diaries o
the interior. We hope they will complete
the road it will be convenient to send dow
a few pine.woods regiments to straightel
them when they get crooked.
The Wing, under the head of Sumner
Eelsction, after much vaporing and twist
ing about, in trying TO evade the fact tina
Sumner was elected by the "good wings
of the Massachusetts Legislature, admit
the undeniable fact that those good wings
, had a majority in the Legislature Of tina
law.loving and constitution obeyiug State
but ut the same time gravely charges tina
Sumner was elected by the coalition ofdem
ocrats and freosoilers-thus leaving it to b
inferred that those freesoilers who vote,
with certain democrats for Sumner, wer
not wings. Now, every body knows tina
nearly the whole Legislature of Massachr
sets, both wings and democrats, are at leas
rank freesoilcrs. We do not know, NO
. have we ever heard Of a whig member c
that Legislature who was not an openl
avowed fteesoiler, il not a downright abol
ZIONIST, Then we conceive it to be perfec
ly idle in our neighbor to be thus attemptin
to leave the impression that this notoriou
m abolitionist, Sumner, was elected by the &C
" alition OF whigs, who were not freesoiler
~ with coalition democrats, who no body eve
ut denied were Of that class-especially afte
admitting that the majority of the lcgisl;
u ture are wings. The Wing, in struggl!n
ng to make plausible what it must see is pre-
Wy ty bad case any way, concludes its articI
H. by saying that
,o "Sumner was elected by ono vote, the dem
o Gratis voting for him In an almost unhroken co
H. umn, and had one wing, Mr.. Borden, vote
ot against him, his election would have iailcd.-
=, And in the face OF these facts, it is attompte
=" by the Republican to charge upon the "got
whigso of Massachusetts,, the election of Sun
dc ner, We know not how this can be, unle
,s il is expected that one wing will have MOI
oe patriotism, more respect for good faith and ii
~ good of his country, than a hundred or tv
~ democrats" etc.
u Now, we would most respectfully a.
-, our neighbor, what was the issue in the co
hi. test of the election for Senator before Il
lie Massachusetts Legislature, between Wi
throp and Sumner! Was it freesoil an
w abolition on the one side, and the support
Of southern rights on the other? The VIII
pc. well knows this was not the issue. II
I'm Wing also knows that both candidates we
abolitionists, and violent abusers ofsouthe
en- institutions and southern men. Then VIII
Su- does IL matter 10 rs which of them we
in. elected? They are both alike against |
- But on reading the article in the VIII
Il stranger, who did not know better, won
think that Winthrop, whom Sumner be
one vote, was a friend and advocate of t
!, rights OF the South, and the institution
slavery, and that Sumner alone was our
~ cmy and villidcr. D, neighbor, come o.
