would be unjust ; but we cannot DENY the right
OF the people to repeal or modify this or any
similar Law.
AS 10 the propriety Of changing this particu.
lar law, there is a wide diversity of opinion.
among the people at large and among the
Wings. We repeat our conviction, that this
diversity must be tolerated. II the Southern
States insist that it shall not be tolerated, then
there is an end to all harmony and union. And
II this he made test question in the Wing par.
ty, that party is Dissolved.
The Wing party ever has been, and is now,
| a party devoted to- the Constitution and when
ever it meets in Convention, it will be ready to
pledge Itself to abide by the Constitution and
to carry ont all lis requirements. But it must
not. should not, and assuredly will not attempt
to control the private opinions of all its mem
bers. There as good Wings and devoted
friends Of the Constitution North, as there are
South of Mason and Dixon's lne--there are
| those VINO mold Si1rcS, as good Wings and as
much attached to the CONSTITUTION As those WHO
! Took upon Slavery as Ia crime and it is not only
! IDLE but wicked therefore, to attempt to test any
mans principles by his approval of, or oppcsl-
| ton. to SiHrcrV. All we ask of them, and all
any Wing Convention will ever ask, is adh,
| renee to the compromises Of the Constitution,
and the execution in good faith of all its re-
| quremcnts. There are those who desire to see
the Fugitive Save Law repealed and it is
their right to entertain such opinions, without
being read out of either The Wing or the Dem
ocrat party. II is our light aud the right of
majority OF both the great parties, 10 oppose and
deieat item; and this has been, and vii con.
tinuc to be done, without a disruption OF either
party. If, however, all in favor of a repeal of
the law should separate themselves from their
respective parties, and band together to effect
their object, then their opponents would be
driven into "A similar union to uphold the Con-
~titutlon. Bat there is no such movement ON

any such new and fatal issue from being forced
: upon the Wing party. That Il e journal d
