Wing Hypocrisy.

In answer to the arguments of Free Soil and other
Anti-Savery speakers ii has been constantly aihrn-
ed that the Wing party, in the Free States, is es-
sentally an Anti-Savery pary,-lhat It's principles
are abhorent to the vile system, and that the only
ground of difference between the Wing and the Free

the voters of Massachusetts retained in the Wing
party only by the belief that the resolutions Of former
campaigns are still valid, notwithstanding the statute
of political limitations, the detection of the arch
apostate, and The Fugitive Slave Bill. In other
words, the Wing party of Massachusetts would lose
more than half its members if they knew the honest
sentiments of their present leaders. few instances

of freedom and humanity, is only equaIled by its
satanic hypocrisy, narrated the lynchlng in words
which no free man could lead in cool blood The
matter was with this religious and Antl-Savery
Journal an excellent joke aud "glad of il, ;" ''good

hearty encouragement of every lover of impartial
Liberty would greet the of this band Of undaun-

hailed with delight. How is it with these Wing
editors, who have heretofore, with bland voices de-
