The Compromise-the Presidential Can


canvass. On the part of Southern Wings,
it will be firmly insisted that the Wing Ma
tional Convention shall endorse the Compro-
mise measures as final settlemect of all
questions therein legislated upon. On the
part Of the Wings at the North, it will be
insisted that no such platform was adopted.
And here difference of opinion, OF dan
gerous import to the integrity Of the Wing
party. will be found TO exist
1t is impossible to suppose that large
masses Of the citizens Of the United States.
SO intelligent as the members Of the Wing
party are known 10 be, should differ so
widely as the Wings north and south will |
be found to differ. wi hont grave reasons for
that difference. And IT is altogether un
charitable TO suppose hat the causes o. dii- |
ierenc" ON either side arise from motives |.
entirely unreasonable and patriotic. While
therefore we are cool. and can reason to-
gether calmly and protitab'y on the pr bable
source o. dlscord, it is well to do so. A
little wisdom and lorbearance now may
save lis from mls'r bic overthrow in the
Presidential canvass, and years Of unavail-
ing regret under the oppression Of Demo-
cra'lc m'>ru'e.

The Wig. North oppose the introduction

mean. Their reply is this we DO not
deny that the Compromise is a"tnaiiy. =
We regret that. 1t is impossible IN the pres
ent generation to change 1t. The people at
the north do not desire or expect to alter or
separate any part OF It,. The fugitive slave
law" is unpopular with us, and we are will
ing Tor that to pass. We Will sustain 1t as
one OF the laws OF the land. Only do not
| require us to in>cribe 1t on our banners as
one of our "prlnclpIes IN the canvass.
The above language we aver for the sat
