e-Fy~ The louisville Journal applies the epI-
thet of TRAITORS" TO those who concur III The
sentiments of the Southern Press: but says
they will be admitted into the Democratic party,
for il will want the aid of all the traitors It can
got. Among tho Southern Wings who retired
fromathe Wing caucus, because it would not sup
porLthe Compromise,was the representative OF the
party and district TO which the Louisville Jour
nal belong, Aud Mr.. STEPHENS, another dis
tingushed Wing, said in his speech that those
who would not support the adjustment or the
Fugitive slave law, were " enemies of the coun-
try"
If the Democratic party will need all the trail
tors it can get, how many enemies Of the coun-
try will the Wing party need
BY the way, we rather suspect from the re-
cent course of the Journal, that it medtates
desertion to those very "enemies of the coun-
try. No, no, not desertion--or a desertion only
of the thin disguise it has long assumed, of a
prelence of respect for the rights of its adopted
section
A hard time is coming for shutters, but we
hope the Journal will survive it, as a specimen
of canting patriots.
