Now, first to publish such denunciations Of the Con,
sttuon Of the country and then to read wings Out OF
the party for reaming hitherto universally recognized
Wing principle viz: the Constitution and the Laws,
IL certsnly very harsh. not very consistent for IT'S
quite certain the oener such paragraphs a. the above
have support in Wing journals the oftenerN proper
for Wings TO affirm they viii maintain the Constitution
in letter and in sprit and faithfully execute the laws
Comments by the Tribune.
1. "Such pretty sure Wing States as
Georgia and Louisiana" never yet voted
for Henry Clay, though he has been three
times candidate for President. North
Carolina and Tennessee have each voted
for him once only. Humphrey Marshall,
we understand was a Jackson man in the
days when Henry Clay was hunted down
with the lying clamor of Bargain and
Corruption Still, we Wings from the
start and all through are very willing to
recognize all these as Wing and go along
with them in peace if they only will. We
don't ask them to see as we do nor think as
we do; we only ask to be allowed to think
for ourselves-and that we will have in spite
of them. We don't intend to 60 out of the
Wing party, and we don't believe the NAL
contents are able to turn us out. They
may very possibly bully some Wing Ma
tional Convention into passing some sort of
Compromise Resolve to quiet them; but,
when they get it, it won't be worth the pa
per on which it is written. They who love
Slavery will uphold it, and we who hate it
will keep on hating it, and try to make
others hate it, with view to its ultimate
downfall, just as if no such Resolve had
passed.
9. Mr.. E. c. Cabell, with Messrs. Ste
phens, Toombs and Jere. Morton, walked out
of the Wing Congressional Caucus. shaking
off the dust from their feet, moret than
two years ago, when that Caucus refused
to make the finality of the Compromise
Wing principle. If the door was shut af-
ter them, it musthaye been by themselves:
they can open it again and walk in when
ever they shall see fit. So of Messrs. H.
Marshall, Gentry, C. H. Williams & Co.
Nobody has turned them out of the Wing
party; no Wing wants them to go out;
though between their going out and their
standing ever in the doorway threatening
it, we should not choose the latter. If
they will 60, or stand in the door, we can
not help noting the fact; but whoever says
the Wings who stay push them out or read
them out is falsi6er.
3. 1t would be an arduous Though not
impossible) undertaking to elect Wing
President by the votes of Free States alone.
We would rather not have sectional con-
test. Yet, if the choice should be forced
upon us, we can do without the Slave
States likely to 60 Wing better than with
out New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio, and
those morally certain to go with them.
Gen. Harrison had votes enough from the
Free States to elect him, and Gen. Taylor
would have had had he stood on the Will
mot Proviso.
4. But we would not have the Wing
party made sectional /; and the plain way to
avoid it is by its letting sectional questions
alone. To foist a pro-Slavery or anti
Slavery article into the creed of National
party is to weaken and probably divide it.
True, ,ce are not likely to be driven away
from the Wing party; we see that we can
better subserve the ends we mediate by
holding on; but great many who do not
see as we do viii be repelled by Compro-
mise timber in our party platform, no mat
ter how placed there. We shall gain no
Loco Foco to our side by the dodge-(wit-
ness the late vote of Virginia on the heel
of the passage of Compromise resolve by
the Wing Congressional Caucus and its re-
lection by the other)-and we shall drive
away some Wings by it.. If we can't
