THE CALLED JADEs VINCE.

Speech OF G' n. Jones on presenting the low
J. solutions to the Senate. Our neighbors den
the correctness ofthe statements ofthe Senate
and attempts TO show that the democracy al
, opposed to the Compromise. They remark a
follows: '~-'s 9s5 h = Ts
"The Wing party of Iowa abolitionists p
what have they done to justify the charge 2
Did they mt stand up in the late Presidents
canvass against the combined forces Of the In
cofocoes and the Free Sellers Did they no
maintain their ground firmly against tn
Northern aud Southern faces of Locof1cosin
in the support Of Gen. Taylor for the Presi
dency ,"
These are strange questions to ask in the face
of ali past history of parties in this country
II is notorious fact, TINT in the absence OF
sound principles upon which to base prohabil
ty of success in the Administration OF the gov
eminent, the Nhig party has always proved
the parent of isms.
Abolitionisnl, Nltiveism. Fouriersm, Home
stead, Exemp,ionism and diverse other isins
have at. one time and another, branchcd
of from the Wing party. President Fillmore,
Secretary Webster, Post Master General
N. X. Hall, Senator Seward and Hale, and
numerous other distinguished members of the
Wing party, have to often identified themselves
with these isms, TO leave tl't party entirely
free from the STAN Of abolitionism. Even the
favorite Of our ncighbors for the Presidency,
Gen Scott is regarded as uhsound upon this
question.

Explanati ton.
We have been desired to State through our
columns, for the benefit Of those who NAV think
themselves neglected by our delegation in Con-
gress, that they are overwhelmed with such
food of business, that they cannot reply to all
the communications of their constituents. As
the shortest way of getting at this matter, we
insert an extract from letter Of Senator Jones,
to a friend in this city. The Senator, to be sure
speaks for himself, but we presume the same is
applicable to all our delegates.
