The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1851-11-27

The Northern prints save us often the labor
of showing up the unsoundness OF sentiment in
that section, on this /" settled" question of VIII
mot Proyisoism--each party print performing
that friendly Office for the opposition party. BY
collating and comparing these disclosures, an
accurate idea may be formed of the real position
of parties, and of the masses of the people at
the North on this vital subject.
The Boston Post sums up the testimony on
the Wing side thus:
WHIsGERY AND FREEsoILIsM. Dihsc
moor, of New Hampshire, states the posit'on OF
the democracy, when he says that every consid-
Grafton of good faith and sound policy requires
that the compromise measures should be sus-
tanned. The position of the Wing party in the
free States is exactly the reverse OF this. The
New York Seward platform recognizes reaglta-
ton, and repeal of the Fugitive slave law The
New York Tribune says the United States Con
stituton is an W-considered compact" The
Albany Journal goes further, and calls that sa-
cred instrument an "ATRocioUs BARGAIN. Mas
sachusetts Whggery takes its place on the same
platform with New Y ork Whiggery, and sup
ports for governor man who voted against the
compromise. Vermont Wings have just re-elect-
ed the governor who signed the act multiplying
the Fugitive slave law, and that governor has
re-aflrmed his notification doctrines; and the
Wing legislature have just refused by large
majority to repeal the multiplying act. Gov.
Johnston, whom Whiggery supported In Penn
sylvania, vetoed bill to facilitate the operation
of the Fugitive law, and said openly that no al
legiance was due to that law. In New lamp
shire, Amos Tuck, Wing member OF Congress,
addresses the Free-so State convention. In
Ohio the Wings, by coalition with the Free
sellers, elected senator to Congress, d. f,
Wade who says "You know that am hostile
to the compromise measures, and especially the
Fugitive law. regret to see disposition in
any part of this State to engraft the compromise
measures upon the doctrines of the Wing party.
The New York Tribune, speaking for the
Wings of New York, says the Fugitive slave
law 81 is an act from which Christendom recois
with adherence" and that the insurrectionists
at Chrstiana and Syracuse 81 are authorised to
resist it," The Boston Atlas, speaking for the
Wings of Massachusetts, says "we are as one
against the infamous Fugitive slave law" and
that the Wing party proper is as anti-slavery
as the Free-soil party" Zeno Scudder, Wing
congressman elect from Massachusetts, sage the
law is a fragrant abuse of political power and
burlesque upon the genius Of our free inssitu-
tons !" and that the doctrines and views of the
Massachusetts Wings" which he shall be ready

throughout the Union," would undoubtedly
repeal the enactment" The New Bedford Mer
