fs3~ We in common With the Wing press
of the South, have heretofore devoted much
OF our time and space to expose the attempt
which has been made in the pending canvass
70 create the impression in the South that the
Wing candidate for the Presidency, syrnpa
thises with .he nholiionists, and that the
Sorthcri Wing party is hostile to Southern
institutions. There il nothing new, nor true
in the assumption. II is the cid game Of
1870 ls44 AID ls4S The trick was sue
cesaul to a greater or less extent on each Of
these occasions. Os course it would DO re-
sorted to again and no dcub. large have been

impose upon tue creaulity of the South now,
aiiedas ,hc political gamcstcrs have been, by
the skill Of some old Wing players, who were
supposed to know how to shuttle the pack.

Northern men, he has especially shown his
loyalty to The outh.-that every hour brings
US fresh intelligence Of his increasing popular

South is showing that it is not SO far stutti-
h1d as to believe that the report Of piorce's
New Boston Speech is fq5ricrtioa. We
will not reeaptulate, here, the testimony we
have from time to time produced to show that
the other assumption is equally false.
II is not only Impossible that upon the
question Of slavery one parely sectional and
geogrdplical-tsa lat Northern Democrats are
soaad and Northern Wings uRsound but
the facts now fully before the public show
that while both parties ia the North have in
various quarters manifested to some extent a
disregard of Southern rights aud interests, lie
Northern Democracy has shown, to say The
least, equally as much hostility as the Wings

Wings of the North any peculiar want of f
