Its gratifying to observe the patriotic tone
of a large portion of the Northern Wing Press
upon the subject of slavery and the measures
Establishment the last session. We have al
ways held and do now conscentously believe,
that Northern Wings are less responsible for
the dangerous excitements that have from time

FOR while they may be as opposed in sentiment
to the existence of slavery as the Democrats
Of the same section, they have not been so
busy and active in springing those questions

outrageous attempts ut injury to the South, in
which, to their deep disgrace. they have oc-
css'onally participated with the other party.

Should such policy be pursued, and should
the Wing Convention adopt the course recon-

attitudes in which the two parties will stand
