OOutu VAEONu6s
We have already laid before our readers the
views of two of the leading prints of this State
in relation TO the Presidential contest. We
subjoin pithy and pungent editorial from the
South Carolinian, which bears directly on the
same point:
beginning THE WHEEDLING SYsTEM-The
New York Tribune has commenced it's coaxing
tactics. 1t holds {" a talk with Southern Wings
in which it is said
"We of the North, who are faithful to the
| traditions and sentn ents of our fathers, pro.
| pose no action respecting slavery desire none
whatever, from any Ma 'ona Wing Convention.
| We know and acknow edge that on this subject
there is diversity Of views and feelings between
| the North and the South, and we see no use in
| plastering over hat diversity with empty and
| ambiguous w is. We propose to leave it
where it has been left by all former Wing Ma
tional Observation-Disclosures We hold, as
we e'or have held, that the Wing party of the
nation was organized upon certain vital princi-
pies, and in support of certain fundamental
measures, which have nothing to do with slavery
or abolition. A Wing in Alabama may be de-.
| cidedly pro-slavery, as one in Vermont may be
earnestly arti-slavery, yet both be true and
sound Wing and they may act cordially to-
! gether in support of Wing principles and meas
ures."
Thus has it always been with both parties
As the Presidential scramble approaches, one
would think that there never would be another
word uttered against Southern institutions bit
no sooner is the contest over, and the spoils 81
cured, than the one party vies with the other in
the denunciation of their dnpes Southern
Wings and Democrats have been thus gulIed
long enough 1t r<tsns to be seen, however,
whether they think so or not.
sW The Charleston Standard thus refers to
the Washington Republic and Senator SouLE
| The Senator from Louisiana has made an
intervention speech in the Senate, in which as il
is ad he commented unfavorably upon Mr.
| Websters Spanish policy. For this, the Re.
public is down upon him furiousy and nothing
but Mr.. Soules senatorial position saves him
from a thorough dressing off upon the occasion
The Republic says:
at is not our respect for Mr. Soule that pre-.
vents us from commentingson his most unbecon
ing language in the style which would be mos,
appropriate. He is member of the American
Senate. Our respect for that body arrests oul
censure."
| We only wonder why the Republic did moi
| think of this in Mr.. Rhetts case
SOUTHERN RIGHTS PARTY IN MoBILE-Dy
the following from the Mobile Tribune, We
learn that the Southern Rights party Of Mobile
have endorsed without dissenting voice, The
action of the recent Southern Rights convention

! Rights meeting held at the Ahambra on Friday
