IFS readers see our reply. This they fatty refuse
TO do, with cowardce characteristic oil guilty
conscience and desperately bad cause.
In refusing to print reply, The Express con-
fesses Indictment. and relieves US from all oblisa-
tiou 10 pursue it further. But it makes little
capta out Of typographical error in our article.
I'VE wrote-aTh issues on which division of
the Wing party is now sought are noref, but ths
last word was misprinted "renat," and Inc Ex-
press of course does large business on the cap
;tal thus afforded it, 1t roundly asserts that
"The objection,-the grand argument, outwardy and
inwardy of the whole posse of Free Soil Wings against
Willard Fllrnore-is,- that he approved the ruSil'e
Slave Law, and that he executes II
This is untrue, as The Express very we'll knows.
We object, indeed, to the manner in which Mr..
Fillmore has sought to make personal capital out
of the Fugitive Slave Law, but we never censured
his signature of the act of Congress, and we de-
cidedly approre of Presidents enforcing every
law he finds on the statute-book-and the worse a
law is the more desire to see it vigorously en-
forced, so that the People may be melted to repeal
or amend it. But when it is sought to be made
Wing principle that a law which sends man
into Slavery without Jury Trial, and offers the
Judge bride of s. for so sending him. shall Herer
be modified, why then are moved to kick lit
tie. But we object to Willard Fillmore that he
has fomented distraction and feuds among the
Wings of our State by removing faithful and CON-
petent Wings from Office for sustaining the regu-
lar Wing organization and trying to elect the
Wing candidates, while he las in pursuance of the
same policy, appointed boilers and disorganizers
to most responsible and lucrative posts, and that
his confidence has been monopolzed by men con-
tinually intriguing to divide and break down the
party. We object that he is now President and
that it is contrary to awell established Wing prn-
ciple, expressly approved by himself to reflect
man holding that station. And yet The Erpress
talks of opposing his reelection as sacrificing
him. We farther object that he can't be elected
which those now protesting to support him well
know. Wing President who proscribes at least
half the Wing party in the Free States, while the
party loses ground under his rule even in the Slave
States, is gone case, and to talk of his renomi-
nation is preposterous folly. The men who profess
to support him can't really mean it.
The Express proceeds to set forth that
nThese Southern Wings have saved their States fron
the schemes of the Nashville Convention and the plots Of
of the Compromise Measures, -andh we Northern men
mean them to be fnal-if TO agitation-
if we desire Peacewe are either Obstinate or false
we decline to say so. The factis, however, no
Peace for the South Is intended-unless we conquer
Peace before the Presidential Election"
The Express perfectly knows already that such
Peace as it talks of-namely, entire silence at
the North respecting Slavery, with unbroken
quiescence in the Fugitive Slave Law-caaaot be
conquersd II all the politicians Of both parties
were to assent to suoh Peace nothing would
come of it but deluson and disappointment. The
People are not thus to be trammeled-the free
spirit and awakened conscience of the Nation re-
fuse to be thus conquered. Pass just such re-
solve at Baltimore as Toombs or Marshall might
draft, and it would do nothing toward alaying agi-
tation' but very much toward discomfting the
Wing party. You may pass any sort of Fugitive
Slave Law resolve in Wing National Convention
pronounce slave-hunting a inality,' and de-
nounce as traitors all who will not take part in it
yet you know-yes, you, Messrs. J. g. E.
Brooks!-that no single Halter Of Slavery would
hate it the less no cOntemner of the Fugitive
Slave Law would be silenced or cowed by the ma
neuver. There would be not one less Anti
Slavery man the day after than there was the day
before your compassionate nobody would be con-
quered by it except, probably, the Wing party
You are plotting to divide and thereby defeat us,
by introducing a test of Wing orthodoxy which
will exclude thousands from the pale. We, on the
other hand would have the party stand on les old
platform and exclude nobody who adheres to that.
Wings who prefer to triumph which is the more
excellent way!
