The Wings Of the North.
We do not exchange with the Pittsburg Com
mercial Journal but gentleman of this city who
is subscriber has handed us copy which mott
ces the address of the Southern Wing Congress
men. This notice we copy below as interesting
to some of our whig readers. 1t expresses, doubt
less, the sentiments of most of the Northern whigs
although some of them are prudent enough to hide
those feelings. Read, Southern Wings
ssADDREss OF THE SOUTHERN WH1Gs-0ur
readers have now before them the address of the
Southern wings who seeded from the Congress
sional Wing Caucus. They appeal as SoutAeyn
Wigs, to the Wings ofthe Union. They are
dissatisfied because the Congressional Caucus
wouzd not take the Southern sectional ground in
originating call for the Wing National Conven
ton.
eve are clearly of opinion that they should
have answer from the Wigs Of the North,
and we care not how soon we are called on to stand
by the 'Whig Party of the North The yearly
exactions and demands of the South are no longer
olerable, and our only defence and substantial re-
lance is, 4 Northern Party.
1--WE can elect Scott without the aid of the South
and there never viii be harmony and repose, in the
relations of the two wings of the party, until we
show these disorganizers not only that we can do
without them, but that we mean to carry our man
in spite of them.
''There has been always a 'SoutAern Wig
Party whilst we could only boast of "A Wing
Party of the Northern States The remedy for
this state of things is, Northern Wing Party
and the defiant attitude of the Southern Wing sug-
gests this the proper time for an application of
the remedy.
at is high joke, that these men who could, at
the most give three or four States, should in
sst on constructing the platform on which the
whole battle is to be fought We are tired of this
thing. and indisposed to further compliances for
pacifcation of Southern malcontents."
In the same spirit writes the Ohio State Journal,
I the leading organ of Ohio whiggery,. Noticing
the seceders from the wing Congressional caucus,
the Journal says, (and. it knows how to whip in
the refractoryc)
'.These men ask the rest of the wings of this
Union to submit the management of affairs to them
exclusively. Perhaps they will do it But our
decided impression is that the proper treatment of
such persons is to discard them at once and refuse
to recognise them for moment as wings, till they
repent and promise to act with the rest of the par
Ity. We do not desire to prevent men from bolt
ing and going over to the enemy when they feel
it their duty to do But this conduct and still
pretending to be wings, and endeavoring to dictate
to the balance, is setting the matter in rather
too srong light to be endured with equanimity.
when old, able and long recognised public
men like Mangum, from the South, set their faces
against these dsorganizers, we have hopes that
some common sense and judgment again to
prevail over that portion of the Union We trust
these Hotspurs will receive lesson that will dc
them good hereafter, and teach them that in this
republic whe folks must be recognised in political
4 conventions equals.
owe deyoutly hope that the wing party will
stand firm. and not yield single inch to these ar
lrogant dictators. Let them do their work as if no
such boilers existed. It's nod very amentable that
the States of Mississippi, Virginia, and Alabama
should conclude not to vote for the Wing candidate
OF course we should all prefer peace and harmo-
! NOUS action but Cabell, Williams, Toombs, d
Co., think to rule by this kind of persuasion, we
trust they will wake up some of these pleasant
mornings, and find themselves badly mistaken
More about this hereafter
We conclude these extracts showing the deter
nination of the wings of the north with the fol-
\ lowing, from the New Y ork eTrbune--the most
influential of all the Northern wing journals In
the following prophecy of what would happen to
the whig party ina certain contingency, the Tri-
bune developes thecourse which viii be pursued in
the wing National Convention
1.-THE Express (says the Tribune) proceeds to set
forth that
i aThese Southern Wings have saved their States
/ from the schemes of the Nashville Convention, and
theplotss South Carolina only by pledging them
selves to the fnality Of the Compromise Measures
t-andif we Northern men mean them to be final
If we mean to cease agitation-if we desire peace
we are either obstinate, false, if we decline to
i say so. The fact is, however, no peace
for the South is intended-unless we conquer a
peace before the Presidential election.
Tie Express perfectly knows already that such a
Peace as it talks of-namely, entire silence al
ithe North respecting slavery, with unbroken ac-
EquIesence IN the Fugitiyes Slave Law--cannot BE-
Il eonquered. If all the politicians of both parties
3were-to assent to such a Peace, nothing would
become of 1t but delusion and disappointment
+ The people are not thus to be trampled-the free
spirit and awakened conscience Of the nation refuse
n to be thus conquered. Pass lust such resolve al
