The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1852-04-12

The disruption of the Wing party seems al
length to be inevitable The Southern wings
insist on ratification of the Compromise by
the party, and the Northern Wings will moi
scouiesce. The Wing caucus here last Friday
disclosed this discrepancy very clearly, and il
appears to be remediless. The Southern Wings
have been making concessions 80 long to their
Northern brethren, as to have reduced them
selves to position in the South scarcely tenable
any longer. They are now compelled to make
stand for self-preservation, for political exist
ence at home.
The Compromise has been kicked and buffeted
a good deal, ever since the deformed and rIcketty
creature wriggled into being in 1850. But the
greatest indignity it has yet suffered, was to be
pronounced out of order in Wing national
caucus. II is, perhaps, an appropriate finality-
that an abortion, born of an unnatural alliance
of sections and parties, should die OF point OF
order
In the Democratic party the case is not much
better. For that party is about as much injected
with Abolition as the Wing party was few
years ago, and is tending rapidly to the same
result.
The Northern fanatics having formed coali-
ton with the lust for territorial aggrandizement'
in 1850, to despoil the South, will not now
forego the opportunity of coalition with the ad-
mration of military glory to carry on the WORK.
To succeed in 1850 the Northern Democrats de-
serted their Southern brethren-tO succeed IN
1861, the Northern Wings will do the same
thing Thus, by the division of the South, and
the successive immolation of its dissentents'
the destruction of the South goes on.
The prospect of division Of both parties has
alarmed two of the organs-the Union and Tho
Republic and, although denouncing each othe
in public, they form an alliance and make rus
in fraternal unity for the spoils. The Prntin
Committee, on the pretext of supplying def
ciences in the public printing, virtually abrogat'
an existing contract; and, although having l
Democratic majority of two.thrds, and repre-
senting two Houses with decided Democratic
majorties, can do nothing else than to give TIN
favors of Congress to support Wing organ a.
well as Democratic one. We are curious tt
see how this thing will be treated by the two
Houses whether they will do anything to arrest
it, whilst yet in their power, or only make fuss
snd-do nothing.
There are, of course, several sinister and
uleror objects included and contemplated in
this arrangement of the printing, to which there
are more parties than meet the eye, but of which
we are perhaps much better aware than is sup
posed. We are for the present merely waiting
to see whether the thing is contaminated, and if
so, the precise manner.
For our own part, we rejoice that the end of
shutting draws near. 1t is true, the disposition
to shuttle is as strong ever, but action of some
sort is inevitable, and will be much more intel-
gible than words. We may now claim some
credit for political sagacity, for our predictions
concerning the Compromise have been fulfilled
1t has failed Its reputation by the Wing
party is failure For the Democratic party can
not sustain it, as it is doubtful whether that
party can sustain itself-even with the aid of
all it's elements of opposition to the Compro.
