"At the conclusion of its extracts the Republic
comments again in the following pointed terms !:
"'we have cued specimens enough for today Ihey are
sufficient to show that the politician soho SEEKS U'sa Ie
personal Advantage to enter into associations oy 1cn
They are more than safeent to show that e party o

people,
" This is Just and patriotic language; and though,
save upon this point alone, the Republic is all
wrong in its politics, and will doubtless continue
TO be to the end, yet these sentiments which,
| in our dgment, every organ Of the national Dem
ocratic party, as now organized, may without hes
itlton accept and approve. But in the columns
of the Republic-one of the central organs of the
present Wing organization-the above declara-
tons strike us us strangely and imprudently bold
II is plain at Uhons they ieUelled. 1t IS PLAIN
that the shaft is let fly at the great central col
| umn Of the Wing strength Of the North, as it
stands organized and embattled for the nomna-
ton and election of General Scott under the lead
| of Messrs Seward, Johnston, and Wade, and
their allies all through the Northern States = \
In this state of facts the language Of the Repub-
| lie can be regarded as nothing short OF a formal
and determined protest by the central organ Of the
Wing administration against the policy, the pur-
poses, the position and the political affinihes of
the majority of the Wing party as now led and
| organized"
| 1t will be here perceived that the Union fixes
upon the Republic the charge of having levelled
all it's denunciations at the Wings of the North
who support General Scott The Republic named
Messrs. Sumner and Rantoul; but the Union
| takes it for granted that the Republic does not
mean schat ii says Is not this unkind in the
Union? Has it not wronged the Republic in
making such charge? How shall we know?
The Republic is ever prompt in its responses to
the Union, and we have never known it to refrain
from defending itself from any attack upon its
own honor or-interests! How is it now? Has
it repealed with scorn the base insinuaton, or the
insinuation of its baseness? 1t has in this in
stance made no reply, except by the publication
of further extracts from the ultras and extremists
among the abolitonists to prove that the spirit Of
abolitionism is not entirely destroyed from the
face of the earth 1t tacitly acquiesces in the
charges fixed upon it by the Union, of covertly,
nsidiously, and disingenuously attacking the
Wing party while pretending to direct its en-
gnery against the common enemy.
The Union had we'll anticipated its course. The
continuance of an unhappy excitement, the de-
feat of Gen. Scott the election of quasi Wing
or quasi Democrat-of something amphibious,
with which both sharks and toads may consort-
are objects dear to both these journals. They
are adroitly playing to each others hand and
willingly unite to denounce all who refuse to
swerve from their original integrity as Wings and
Democrats devoted to the permanent welfare and
honor of our glorious republic.
Comment on such state of things as is evil
denced by these two journals is unnecessary
For Willard Fillmore we have ever entertained
sentiments of kindness, respect, and admiration.
If, however, he is fallen to the estate Of one to
whom such advocates are desirable, we shall
henceforth mourn for the just pride and the
high toned honor that once sustained his public
career, and rendered him an honor to the State
of his birth, and beloved by the Wing party of
the United States as true and answering
champion of the party whose banner bears the
proud inscription of +" LIBERTY AND UNION, NOW
AND FOREVER ONE AND INsEPARABLE."
