in speeches and addresses heretofore made
by the undersigned, they deem it theil
duty to withhold their support from Gen
Pierce as n candidate for the Presidency
If it should seem to be necessary, we will
hereafter, in some form exhibit to our con-
stituents the facts and reasons which have
brought us to this determination.
w. p. MANGUA, of North Carolina.
EDWARD SrANLY, of North Carolia.
This production can scarcely be regar-
ded as any other thing than literal swim
ding. 1t will be recollected that nine
leading Wing members of Congress, some
weeks ago, published card in the Wash
ington papers, in which they declared
their determination not to support Gene
raj Scott, and giving their reasons. This
card produced great effect upon the
country Wings and the original supper
tiers of Scott have resorted to the forego-
ing vile forgery and falsehood to counter
act it. The circumstances under which
their card is drawn up, and the verbiage
used, and the private manner in which it
has been circulated-all prove conclusive
ly that their intention is to impose on
those persons in the country who do not
pay close attention to politics, and there
fore do not know always whether a lead
ing public man is a Wing or Democrat.
These men are attempting to make such
persons believe that nine Democratic mem
6ers Of Congress, hare here declared q deter
miaation not to support Pierce. To effect
this object, they do not stop at equivocal
actions-but they have stopped, to direct,
deliberate, intentional falsehood in terms |!
They declare their object to be the vital
welfare of the Democratic Parity
" Democrats and republicans as zoe are, zoe
" should thousand times rather give our
" support to Winfield Scott, than to man"
dc, Thus they assert while every rea-
der of the newspapers knows that Stanley
and Mangum are the two God-forsaken
renegades and traitors, who forced the
nomination Of Scott on the Southern Wing
party that Mangum was the Chairman
of the Wing Congressional Caucus that
Truman Smith and Fitz Henry Warren
were the depraved and Infamous tools OF
the Galphin Regency; and that all the
rest Of the party are like them, Wings
and Abolitonists of the blacklist and most
utterly reckless sort. These are the men
who have conveyed the idea that they are
Democrats seeding from their party because
Of Pierce's nomination We blush for
the country whose Halls Of Congress they
de6le and disgrace, Such an action as
this should draw upon them the notice OF
the honorable bodies to which they be-
long, and procure their speedy expulsion
from the House of Representatives and
Senate of the United States Men who are
guilty of such deeds as these, are not gen.
tlomen, and do not deserve place among
gentlemen. A cell in the penitentiary OF
the District furnishes more appropriate
seat for them than the Congress Of the
United States.
The wing party is accountable for their
action. This performance Of theirs is
apiece with the whole tactics of the wing
party in this campaign. The countenance
which it has lent to PROVED LIES from the
beginning of the canvass up to the pres
ent time, has led its tools to believe that
nothing is too gross, nothing to vile, for
their support; and hence they have been
guilty of this transaction-a transaction
which will raise blush on the cheek Of
every American who regards the honoo
of our common country and nation.
