FLIBUSTIERING.

The Courier and Enquirer solemnly
announces, for the third or fourth time,
that The Tribune and some other Wing
papers do mt swallow the pro. Slavery and
anti-Kossulh declarations foisted into the,
Baltimore Wing Platform whereup N it
gravely shakes its finger and thus oracu-
larly enuncietes

Why, General how many times must
we tell you that We tc0at go that Huuker
Platform. and that you are welcome to
help yourself as you best can! We gave
fair warning before the nomination, aud we
have told you as plainly as we could since,
that 10 Hunkerism could be crammed
down our throat at any price, and that
whoever should undertake to Tighten US
out of our convictions or their free express
sion would have his labor for his pains.
All of that Platform which embodies old
fashioned Wing doctrine, such as we be-
lieve and always believed in, we accept
notbecauseit is in the Platform, but because
II is truth. All the new-fangled interpo-
lations are authority for those who like
them, but utter nullity to US. Do you I'M
! derstand
In l64S, we held the same PRINCIPLES
and cherished the same convictions as at
present. You and Toombs, Cabell, Cling
man and Co. were nothing 10Th that we
should support Gen. Taylor on any plat
form that we chose or fancied. Now the
case is somewhat altered, and you waut us
10 get on your Platform. We won't, and
there's the end of it. What use to pro-
tract the controversy
The fact is, General that you are easily
seen through. You rant to dtteat Gen.
ScOtt-every body who sees at all can see
this. You pretend to support him, We,
Try to egg on others to oppose him. All
the favor We ask of you is not to look one
way and row another-ahd even that is no
great matter. If your Fifty or sixty
Thousand conservatives" mean to oppose
Gen. Scott because The Tribune will no,
support him for the same reasons that
