April s7th, eFayestcville Observer


Weallude in another column to the tone of the Wing
press towards Mr.. Mangum: when, in April last lie
came out for Scott. Then, the Wing press viewed
the matter in precisely the same light that we now
do and that it is viewed by Stephens of Georgia, by
Gentry and Williams of Tennessee and other anti
Scott Wings of the South, who now occupy the po-
sition towards Scott which the whole Southern Wing
party did before his nomination The ant-Scott
men have stood frm-the Scott men have seeded
AS specimen of the tone of the Wing press some
three months SINCE we copy the following extract
from an article in the Fayetteville Observer of the
9th of last April. 1t will be found on the second
column of the third page of the Weekly of that
date The italics are ours:
Let not our people be deceived by the braggart
declarations of MIR. Mangum, that Gen. Scott is the
only available candidate. fit be so. ochot but the
support of the Seorard faction at the North. makes 1t
| so? And is that motive which should influence
Southern man to go for him! On tie contrary, it is
quite sufficient motive for opposing him to the last
And we do not hesitate to say that under present
circumstances, maintaining his present position, Gen,
Scott cannot possibly get solitary electoral vote in
all the South We beg that the declaration may be
marked. We meet every day with Wings who de-
clare that they will for him for President
under any circumstances; and with others who will
not vote for him whilst he maintains his present at
,itude of silence. for the evident purpose of concla
ting those whose favorite candidate he is understood
to BE- Such too is the tenor of numerous letters we
have received We speak plainly, for we desire that
ourINorthern friends shall be under misappre
hension on the subject.
For ourselves, we would prefer defeat under Mr.,
Fillmore to success under any non-committal candi.
date. The interests of the South and of the Union
are of too inestimabe value to be risked upon any
doubtful man. The honor of the South is, in our
opinion, involved in a firm support of MIR. Fillmore.
Upon those, therefore, who ruckle 10 Se1cardm, be the
responsibility Of defeat, if defeat should But it
need not be So There is good sense and patriotism
enough in the land to continue in power wise and

such as the present. There has not been a better
since the days of Washington NOT one which has
earned, and now maintains. in higher degree the
confidence and affection of the American people Let
stand by it, therefore, at all hazards and to the
last extremity. Having found at the North
who is faithful to through his fathfulness to the
Constitution let desert or betray him. Our
fidelity to him, will enttle us to look for fidelity from
that section. Our abandonment of him, would leave

Since it has become fashionable with all the strong
Wing partizans about here to swear by Scott, and
remember Graham in their prayers, it seems only
due to themselves, to hold meeting and pass vote
of thanks to MIR. Mangum, and acknowledge the err
ror which they committed in denouncing him for
going for Scott. Let them also take back the cpl
tibet of " traitor" which they applied to him. and
hail him as the savior of the Wing party 1t would
also be proper, think that an appropriate service
of plate should be presented to him; and we think
it also proper that certain resolution of the Wing
District Convention, which met here some two months
since, in which endorsement was given to MIR
Badger, ut none to MIR. Mangum, should be recon
sidered, and Mr. Badgers name stricken out and
MIR. Mangums inserted. There is much truth in
the old proverb. that what is sauce for the goose
should be sauce for the gander. If MIR. Mangum
was objurgated in April and May for Scottish, why
should not MIR. Graham share similar fate in July
and August Uce rersa, ifAIr. Graham is praised
why should not Mr.. Mangum be praised also! The
receiver is as bad as the thief. Mr.. Mangum is the
thief-Nlr Graham the receiver.
We call for a Mangum ratification meeting, To
be sure, nobody at Washington city in April last
pretended to deny question The influence under
which Mr.. Mangum and the other Scott men acted
The presence and hand of Seward were both seen
and felt and acknowledged. To be sure no new
light has been & upon the subject, but now Scott
is the nominee. and Graham is the nominee-and
Wing gentlemen that as late as June, swore they
would ne'er submit to Scott, have boldly marched
up to the line and-submtted. It's of no use trying
to make fish of one and flesh of the other Mangum
