MIR. Facing-Both-waxs Winthrop,

The Wings are nntiring ia their efforts to
gain their former position. Unscrupulously mis-
representing the enactments Of the last Legsla-
ture, and the anticipated reforms Of the next they
hope to deceive the uninfora1ed, and retain the
wavering within their ranks.
They call vocifercusly on ali Free Sellers to
sustain their nominee for Governor, citing us to
his unwavering fidelity in Congress, al all times
and on all occasions, involving the cause of
Freedom.
They urge US, also, in the strongest terms, to
xepudiate the coalition which the Transcript has
pleased TO term-ts- more corrupt, more debasing,
and more Illuminating, than the Fugitive Slave
Law ever was.'' propose, il. this short article,
to point out same potent reasons why we should
reject their invitation for our suffrages, and to
contrast our coalition for freedom, with theirs for
Slavery.
Can we vote for Robert C. Winthrop' His
true history should be KEPT BEFORE THE
PEOPLE. No Trimmer, under the reign of
King James the second, managed with more
adroit ghrewdness Than this same Whig nominee.
His course on the Mexican War was ia direct
opposition to the Wing policy of the nation, and
especially against the repeated voice of the
Wings of Massachusetts. Yet he disregarded
the one, and disobeyed the other.
At Springfield in AT, by standing steadfast to
the resolves tchich he aided ia passing, to catch
liberty rotes--fesolves, excluding slavery from
our territories he conld have been successful in
bringing old Massachusetts to the enviabe posi-
tion of being the first of the family of states, re-
fusing her electoral vote to ''any man for Presi-
dent of the United States, who is not known by
his acts, and declared opinions, to be opposed to
the extension Of Slavery" On that occasion,
our Free Soil nominee for Governor, determined
TO test the fidelity of the Wings 10 their probes
sions, introduced this pertinent resolution:
..That we will vote for no man for President
of the United States, WHO'S not known by his acts
and declared epincns,tc be opposed to the extern
sion Of Slavery"
The political sagacity Of Winthrop taught him,
that If the anti slavery Wings triumphed on this
test resolution, Gen. Taylor could not obtain the
electoral vote Of this State. 1t also taught him.
that, without his strenuous opposition TO its pas
sage, he could not reach the Speakers Chair of
the approaching Congress. His efforts were sue
cesslul-the resolve was voted down--and he,
by the aid Of Southern votes, was elected
Speaker.
BY his loyalty to slavery, he became ".Nation-
HIiSed"' Since the attainment Of this post Of
honor, he has shown himself as adIoit Trimmer
for national and executive favor. as is shown by
any of the Trimmers Of King james, The ap-
portjonment Of the most important committees
in which the interests of freedom were concerned
were Of the most pre-sayery character. His con
duct to the Free Soiiers was unmaniy--denoun-
cling them as "nest Of Uipers," and the charac-
ter Of his controversy with Gddings, relation 10
bis urging the Wings TO vote for funds to carry

eyes, this broom sweeps clean enough! | re-
gard his views to be nothing short of flat higher
Jaw nonsense!'' ''Gentlemen, let US not be too
Responding. We may hope that little refec-
ton will convince Mr.. Kossuth that circumstances
alter cases:-a little dining out, free intercourse
with our public functionaries; a better knowledge
of the state Of things here, and on which side his
bread is buttered--one or two visits from dstin-
guished statesmen, these, with the documents
which we have left, will probably soon change
him from blind Magyar patriot. into Ameri-
can patriot:--two very different Species you
know. Stranger chansest than that have taken
place, How long did it take to change you, DIR.
-' How long did it take you, BROTHER
-, to come round Why, half the men in
the nation that now stand right on the slavery
question, year or two ago believed IN the doc
trines of human liberty to the full extent. That
sentence in the Declaration of Independence,
that all men are born free, &c. has done more
mischief than the whole instrument ever did
good! Well, brethren, let us remember Kossuth
IN our prayer" and upon this they separated.

WINTRY.-On Monday morning, soon after
midnight, the storm which was raging, changed
from rain to snow, which fell so as to lay
about two inches deep. 1t was very damp, and
the weather SO cold as to moderately CONCEAL it,
and in consequence, the trees became very much
loaded, especially the fruit tress, which still re-
tanned their foliage,and great numbers are broken
down and destroyed. The day continued cool
through Monday and on Monday night the Their
fhometer averaged from % to 80. Yesterday
morning, however, it had somewhat moderated
with the appearance Of milder weather, and per-
haps. another storm.

CoRREcTIoN-We are informed that there
were eventually, about 200 persons at the Wing
meeting, in Warren Hall, on Monday night. We
went, with the expectation of hearing Col. Schou-
Ter, but the gallant gentleman was non est inpen-
tus, and we were glad to leave at an early hour.
We took the precaution TO count the audience,
and were not mistaken in our statement, of the
number present at that time. We are very will
ling TO believe what we are told, that there were
finally about 200 in the Hall. The laundering
noise that was produced by those Wings, was
enough for thousand. We Ehave no need and
no wish to misrepresent the Wings Of this city,
We could desire no better auxiaries in the cause
of freedom. We are satisfied with the effects of
their speeches if they are. We find no fault with
the feelings produced by their logic or rhetoric
upon the public mind, if they are pleased also;
and their utmost numbers do not cause any envy
or fear in us. Perhaps, the Wings ought to feel
| pleased with their meeting in Warren Hall, after
| all for it was an admirable exhibition of the new
arguments of the party, noise and nonsence.

I ms new theory in politics, accounts for his
lodging on that memorable Resolution ofRoat's-
and preamble of Giddings-securing liberty to
our territories. The most important vote that
had been before Congress for years-no less
than that of prohibiting slavery in all our ter
rltorlal domain-and which had but few weeks
earlier been sustainedby &c majority, was now
rejected by majority of 24-I4 Wings from the
Tree states voting 1cih the Slave aaongers, and
~ not voting, or out Tof their sseats-in all, SO
northern Wings, actively or passirely aiding the
South IN carrying slavery into free territory The
servlllty OF Winthrop was manifested, at this
crisis, In manner that should be rebuked by
every voting Wing. When the roll was being
called, he aoas an has seat-before his name was
reached he lodged, and returned after his name
was called-and he follored up this game of be-
trayal on Gidding's preamble.
Thus did Robt. c. Winthrop, t,oice in one dan,
while the yeas and nays were being taken, leave
has dishonored seat, to avoid voting against the
policyof Taylor's administration, on the one
hand, or the instructions of his constituents, on
the other. He turned his face TO the executive,
and his back to his constituents.
Much more should be said of Winthrop, in
the selection of his committees but it cannot be
now. His friends have much to say of the inter-
est he manifested for our coored seamen, while
an the Senate. We acknowledge he did well,
but judging by his past course, we are justified in
attrlbuting the cause to his having no hope of
favor from the FILLMORE administration, in conse-
quence of his course on the Compromise meas
ures and thus, his only remaining hope was in
gaining sufficient favor with the people of his
State, to secure his election, by the new Lcgisla-
ture, to the Senate, for six years.

ONE OF THE CoNvERTs.-Our readers will
recollect the flourish Of trumpets in the Wing
camp, short time since, at the conversion, as
they alleged, of Hon. JOHN C. PARK to their
cause. We did not believe word of the idle
tale, at the time, and it turns out like the other
conversions that they have boosted Of. On the
occasion ofthe opening of Washington Hail. as
the Free Soil Head Quarters, in Boston on Mon
day evening, Mr.. Park was present and made a
speech of great power and eloquence, in which
he presented in bold relief the present course of
Webster and Winthrop, as contrasted with their
former professions, and ably defended the Free
Soil party. He reiterated a remark on former
occasion, that he was more and more convinced
that he lief: the Wing leaders al the right time.
The wings have made pretences of having
gained converts in this place; but in every
instance that we have heard claimed by them, it
will turn out, as in the case of Mr.. Park that
they have caught Tartar" 1t makes sad
work with their claims, when they come to specify
cases, and they do much the best whenthey con6ne
themselves, they usually do, 70 general asser-
lions Of reaction great way off, where there is
no chance Of SO readily proving their falsity.

ASSAULT AND PROBABLE MURDER.-On
Monday afternoon, about four o'clock, an Irish
man named Manhoney and man belonging to
Marlboro, named Putuey, got into an alteration
at house in the east part of Westboro, which
ended in Putney's inGicting severe blow, with
club, upon MahOney g head, which ielled him
10 the earth. The blow was followed up by 9th
ers of equal severity, and it was thought by at
tending physicians that Mahoney could not sur
viye. Rum was the provoking cause, both par
ties being intoxicated at the time.
