MEssRs EDIToRs:-Can you tell me whv the Wing
Journals so uneasy about the and pref
erences of the Southern Rights Democrats? These
Union loving Wings who have for the last two wears
kept up continuous discharge of cannon balls and
grape shot on the " Southern Rights party accusing
them of all sorts of naughty things and denounc-
ing them as traitors and seeking 10 destroy The Union;
very uneasy for fear they should be so dread
fully inconsistent as 10 give their support to Com
promise Democrat such Cass or Buchanan, or
Douglass, men who agree with them in everything
save Perhaps in the opinion of the abstract right of
State to secede.
Say these (Ofice) Union loving Wings how incon-
sisent yon are, why don't you nominate some promi
nent individual agreeing with you on this question:
and use him for The Presidency Oh, yes /! and thus
divide the Democratic party, and enable you 10 elect
Gen. Scott or some other who differs from YOU in
every thing, and thereby make for Seward dynas
ty that will crush State Rights 6 Southern Rights
and every other right dear TO the people OF the South
Is there Democrat in the South who has any re
gard for his principles, who will give his consent to
such of things, who will by any act of his
assist to bring it about' | hope not.
The game of the Wing politicians, if only under
STOOD is too plain 10 deceive any 1t is The old
! one of divide and conquer" The object Of the par
~ leaders Uhe wire pulles) is distract the party by
keeping up the cry of disunion against the Southern
| Rights party, brighten the Democrats who have been
acting with the Union party into support Of the
Wing candidate. This is the game of Stephens,
loOmDS, Idoeil anu otneT SONtnefn Union wing ieaQ
ers. Will the Union Democrats who have heretofore
acted with them, consent TO be their dupes? Let the
nominee of the Wing Convention be who he may, and
these men will trump up pretex upon which his
claims will be urged upon the South.
Gen Scott is certain 10 be the man; another Taylor
demonstration is to be planned, and an attempt made
to carry it out. Already the Northern Wings pro
posing 10 take Gen. Scott g without any declaration
of his opinions on the slavery question - Like Gen
l Taylor, he is TO be the mum candidate in favor OF
slavery at the South, and opposed it at The North
and the clouds of his military renown are to be used
to up the vanity and weakness of the man and
the hideous principles of the party leaders, who seek
10 fost themselves into power by its fundamentally
Democrats of the South, beware! The present dis
sensions in the South the fruits of the election OF
Gen. Taylor. Be not again deceived by Wing dup
city The informal and hasty admission of California
forced upon the country by the Taylor administration
was the Z" Pandoras box that distracted and divided
the parry. Let US heal those discussions and unite
in the support and election Of able and we'll rec
Democrat, such as Cass, or Buchanan, or Douglas -
We shall thus dssipae the ntrgues of Seward, anC
Greedy and others of that lk who are striving foS
themselves into power basely using the military rep
uiation OF Gen. Scott to effect their nefarious purpos
of destroying the commercial! Importance and 7olitica
influence of the South, largely dependent upon tn
Constitutional and State right 10 hold slaves.
A UNION DEMOCRAT.
