SNOW, we have no hesitation in expressing our
surprise and modification at the course of those Nor
tiefh wings, VINO. BY rheif votes on ts resolution,
have virtually repudiaed the slavery adjustment, and
refused to sustain the firm, patriotic and eminently
national policy of Mr.. Fillmore's administration. We
have excuse apology to urge in behalf of men,
who AhdS declare in effect that the Compromise is not
final and permanent settlement of the questions it
embraces, and that ssoelds tRain-
tanned, and executed as such. We have no toleration
for any poIitician whether Whgf or Demoerat.swho,
upon any preext wta would disturb the exist
ing settlement of the slavery question, and thnse-
open the bitter fountain of sectional strife and do
mestic discord.s We are firmly convinced that if
such an attempt is ever made. our Union will not
survive the experiment, and we shall always be found
ready to denounce it, come from what quarter it
may.' l....-,I ~ - -
The Petersburg Inteigencer, also a1sound Whig
paper, copies the above from the Times, and adds
"Now. should be glad to know if the conduct
of these Northern Wings, SO justly denounced by
the Times. does not open the eyes of our neighbors
to the imperative policy of the Wings of the South
When the Wings of the South seethat considerable
portion of the Wings of the North are bent upon
Pudating the slavery adjustment, and resolved not
to sustain the firm, patriotic, and eminently nation
al policy of Mr.. Fillmore's administration can they
hesitate as to their course Does not common sense
teach hem that they should sustain no man for the
Presidency who does not come out before his noml-
nation with full and explicit declaration in favor of
the measures of Adjustment Are We 10 take an an
pledged candidate, imposed upon US by the enemies
Of the Compr Snise, and thus try an t'experlment,
which " the Union'' cannot survive2 Are our own
self-respec-our rights, as American citizens, and
the very Union itself, all to be sacrificed alleged

The Southern people were told, it will be remem-
bered, the openngo the late Congress. that the
Wings in their caucus in Washington had endorsed
the fugitIve-slave law, and that the Democrats, in
their caucus, had laid it upon the tables and the i'm
preston was sought to be produced that the Wings
were sound and the Democrats unsopnd upon the
issue. We denounced this movement at the time as
fraud upon the country and subsequent events have
sustained us in the view took of it,. 1t was sta
ted and proved, at the tne, that the Resolution of
the Whig caucus, now under the Editorial heads of
the Republic and Register, tras passed mainly by
Southern Wings, nearly all the Northern Whig mem
bers having left, or having refused to vote 1t was
declared, also, that the Democrats failed to act upon
the matter, because they deemed caucus action inn
proper the subject and unjust to the people,
is well known that assemblies and
keep no records for the public eye; but the
was referred by the Democrats to the halls of Con-
gress and to the Baltimore Conyenton, where what
is done is at once known, where men responsible
for their acts, and where there is chance to evade
or deceive. Now let the result: On the lst
of March, Mr.. Fitch of Indiana moved suspension
of the rules for the purpose of introducing Resolu-
tion of acquiescence in the compromise. On This
motion the record shows 80 Democratic votes In the
affirmative, and 80 in the negative; while Of the
Wings 81 voted yea, and 36 nay. Again: in the
recent action of the House Mr.. Jaekson's compro
mise Resolution, the vote stood in the affirmative,
Northern Democrats 35-Southern Democrats 80
g. =
negative, Northern Democrats 22-Southern Demo
Gratis 1I-Southern Wings I-Northern Wings 80.
Only 81 Northern Wings voting at all, and Of these
80 against and only for the " compromise %! The
Richmond Enquirer, noticing this vote, says:
We have never made the compromise test ques-
tion and. we said on the original passage of the
measures, we have no doubt that the Southern Dem
ocrats now, as then, voted from honest motives of
propriety. Many of them. doubtless, opposed
to the whole movement in the House, the ground
that, regarding the measures s. fnaty," they
did wish the subject brought up again in the
Halls of Congress. This we know to be the case
with some of the Virginia Democrats voting in the
negative. and believe it be applicable 10 all of
them voting in that way They all acquiesce in the
settlement, and they did not by any means design to
intimate that they were not opposed to further agita
ton. -.af.
The Wing press at the South, the contrary, have
made the COMPROMISE test, and they have pointed
with exutaon to eassumed fact that at the begin
nin9 OF Ine session. tne w mig CducuS ENDORSED lne
fnaty of the settlement, while the Democratic eau
Gus rejected it, The record above shows how utter
unreliable the Northern wings, the majority of the
whig party, have proved themselves to be upon the
issue the Southern whig presses themselves made'
The Enquirer then copies the following strong
views from the correspondence of " Ton of the Bal
timore Sun, who is generally regarded as a Wing,
and who is careful in his statements 900
The northern wings have, at last, in due form,
and by vote of 90 to IL, repudated the Compromise
For the fugtiveslave law the essential part of the
Compromise to the South, they gave originally but
three votes. They now give twelve only to sus-
tain it. 10 ~' r-. !
