.Do Won fancy that the great body of our Northern
noonle will ever help you to catch your runaway
negroes If you do, you are Jolly green mats al.

Jo,es slave catching heartily as we do, and will

Now. first to publish such denunciations of the
Constitution of the country, and then to read wings
ant Of the party for reairmng hitherto universally
,ecoonized Wing principle, viz: " the Constitution
and the laws is certainly very harsh, if not very
consistent for it is quite certain, the ottener snch
paragraphs as the above have support in wing ourn-
Is he oener it is proper for wings 10 affirm they
will maintain the Constitution in letter and In spirit,
and faithfully execute the laws
To this article the Tribune, also whig paper, re-
plies at some length. The Tribune says:
1t would be an arduous (though not impossible)
undertaking to elect Wing President by the votes
of Free States alone. We would rather not have a
sectional e if the choice should be forced
upon US, we can do without the Slave States likely
togo Wing better than without New York, Penn
syvania and Ohio, and those morally certain to go
with them. Gen. Harrison had votes enough from
The Free States to elect him. and Gen. Taylor would
have had had he stood on the WimOt ProViso.
But we would not have the Wing party made Sec
onal and the plain way avoid it is by its letting
sectional questions alone. To fost Pro-Slavery or
auliSavery article into the creed of National party
Ill 10
not likely to be driven away rom the Wing party
,Oe Sc. that better sbSerUe the ends mediate
By holding ON but great many who do not see as
we do will be repealed by Compromise timber In
party platform, no matter how placed there. we
shall gain no Loco Foco to side by the dodge
WITNESS the late vote Of Vrg the heel Of the
passage of a Compromise resolve by the Wing Con-
gressonal Caucus and its rejection by the other)-
and we shall drive away some Wings by ii. If we
can't agree to let our Slavery differences alone, we
can't expectto agree on any other basis.
The Wing party has repeatedly and formally pro-
claimed its rehabilitation TO Home Industry,
River and Harbor improvements, sound National
Currency,a limitation of Executive Power-but new
attempted to frame nor professed to have COM
mon faith with respect to Slavery. 1t has always
expressly or implicitly invited all who agreed with
in these avowed principles to cooperate with it in
the Elections. To interPolae into its creed pro-
Slavery anti-SlaveIy article is to treat with bad
faith those in its ranks who subscribe to that
article. 1t is invite them into our house friends
and guests, and then kick them out because of differ
of faith.
But The Express says the wings will insist a
redeclaration of our old wing principle, 6 the Con-
stution and the Laws" Nobody will object to that,
if it that the Laws be enforced and obey
ed our Wing State Convention of $780, from which
The Express bolted, did that-but it never was
Wing principle that law of Congress mi ght not be
repealed or modified by that body. Nor is it any
more "war on the Constitution for The Tribune
10 rejoice escape of slaves into freedom than
was for Miard Fillmore to give Milton Clark money
10 help him along when running away from Slavery.
We were always Anti-Slavery and Anti-Save-hunt-
ing yet Southern Wings did not object to our help
Ing elect Taylor nor our helping try to elect Clay.
lhey did not ask to stop giving utterance to
Anti-Savery sentiments-lnuch less endeavor to i'm
pose upon US any pro-Slavery Shibboleth. In those
days, they willing live and let live, though
quite as many slaves ran away as now, while fewer
were retaken-and rendered the saye-hunters just
such aid and comfort now do.
1he Tribune always Anti-Slavery as well as
wing 1t probably always will he both. We object
10 the passage of Compromise resolve in either
OF the National Conventions primarily as a cheat-a
guhuaP-atnb TO the whale. There will not be one
Abolonst the less thereafter than before, and not
one will be overawed or silenced. Such measure
VIII be arbitrary and unjustifabe-it will ALLEVIATE
and drive away from the wings some Anti-Slavery
men, and probably throw away the Presidential cleo
Hon; While 1t will do no good to any one. The party
cooperation 1t 1t insists wrecking its prospects,
does 500
Inc Tribune has told some home truths in this
arce, which are commended to the particular atten-
ton of Southern Wings.
