Abolitonists and the Democratic States Rights
Republicans both North and South, will endeavor
to carry out the compromises of the constitutions and
prevent the passage of all laws calculated to Cypress
any one section of the country for the advantage of
another. Is it not astonishing indeed, that the
Northern Republican party should have always had
more regard for the interest of the South than the
Southern Wing party have had? This is the case,
for the former the Northern Republican party have
fought manfully all the time against protection

alone that aroused the South it was the fact that
they saw the Northern Wings coalescing with the
Abotionists to gain strength sufficient to revive the
old protective tariff, when, according to Virgin
an, she (the South) has already been taxed out of
about seven-ninths of all the that has ever
been raised for the support of this government and
has only received about two-ninths of the amount
that has been appropriated for public works! When

good men who are, in principle good Republicans

for the name of Wing, and their hatred for Martin

party. But the Abolition excitement will drive all
good Republicans, both North and South, back where
they belong; for of common sense can fail to
see that had it not been for the corruption of the
Northern Wings, the Abolitionsts would never have
arisen to their present Importance and then had it
not been for the submissive spirit manifested on the
occasion by the Southern Wings, the matter would
have been settled long before it was-i in fact it is
settled at al-and much more to the satisfaction and
credit of the South. Yes, the Northern Wings fiat
tered the Abotionists in 1848 for the purpose of
getting into power, to enable them to fasten their
abominable measures upon the country again, and
then deceived them in 1850 No wonder they are
their designs, for the name of Wing has become al
most unpopular especially in the Southern States

revolution, when the friends of liberty had achieved
