The Editors Of The Wnig have delighted represent Mr
Ral!cu as M abotonst of the worst kiad. They hay
pretended regard him alone full offset 10 Seward
Greeley and whole host of aboltonists who compos
tie present Wing supporters of General Scott at the North
and who with their misguided Southern oies constitute
believe amos, his only supporters; for is obvious tina
hc reliable and conservative portion OF the Whg par
~ the Norh with Mr. Webster at their head are ci
tier lusewam decline altogether TO sustain Gen. Scot
in the position which he occupies; while at the South, near

Tc Wing, fully aware Of this awkward predicanent oil
the nominee ul party and sensible That the bad company
in which he is thus found must throw suspicion him in
the estimation oil every !ercring man. and ought 10 deprive
him OF the support oil all who opposed those Northern
aconss and their ana,ica schemes, has abo!cd hard 10

By Van Buren, a,tt and others whom cndeavors 10
present equally opposed 10 the Institutions and rights OF
the South and equally bent the agitation of the slavery
question: dangerous the peace and harmony OF the
Union.

But we propose TO show that Mr. Halelt who has been
thus selected by the Whig ITSELF the most prominent and
focibe example Of Northern Democrat who is hostile 10
Southern slavery, occupies in truth, position more iaVora
BILE the rights Of the South in this matter and to The har

The most prominent point of attack by the pcstlieous
fanatics of the North on Southern slavery, and their most
fruitful topic for agitation the present tme is confess
sedIy the fugitive slave aw law which, it was heretofore
thought all parties and nearly all the South united
in dcmandng insisted enforcing und were resolved 10
maintain; and which only the most violent even OF the
Northern condemned resisted and were resolved 10
rcpca-even though in resisting and repeating IT. dissou
ton of the Union was the consequence.
Wehlve several times called attention to the extraordna-
ry expressions contained in the leading editorial OF the wing
OF Wednesday morning. September 29th, 1857. We must
again. in this connection them and think they can
not be too often ocIby Reproduced and denounced
The Wing has failed to rerac them, and they must DC re-
uarded as expressing its deliberate sentiments on the ue
tive slave law and authoritative and open decaraon
of the uostou OF itself and its party in regard 10 that law
That position will be found defined in the following extract
