s. What claim, then, has the South TO atempt IN
control the wing party of the Unionl What has it
done for the wing party? What will it do for the
wing party? And first let US define wha, is meant
by the South The term does not include DeIa-
ware, which goes for Scott; nor Kentucky, which
leans in the Same direction; nor Maryland, which will
not be led away by the uItrasm of the South mau
include North Carolina, but we doubt it. Let u.s.
however, concede that it embraces North Carolina,
and it will be found to include one pretty reliable
wing State, besides the possible wing State of Tenn.
essee, and the improbable WING State of George.
The States, then, which intend, in the mos anna.
BILE and disinterested manner, to take charge Of The
wing party are North Carolina, (possbly,) Tennes.
see, (possibly,) Virginia, South Carolina, Missouri,
Arkansas. Mississippi, Louisiana, Georg; Alabama
Florida, and Texas. The two first named of these
States, with Georgia, have occasionally been wing
States, but the other nine have uniformly been demo
cratic States. The chance that any one of them will
vote for wing nominee for the presidency is about
equal TO that of the lucky holder of Jersey lottery
ticket to draw the capital prize. Virginia has only
two wings in Congress South Carolina, Texas and
Arkansas, none; Missouri an accidental delegation Of
two or three wings; MISSISSIPPI not avowed whig;
Alabama and Louisiana only one each. In Short
these nine States the very strongholds of ocotO
coism--not excepting Florida, which has once Oh
twice had a spasmodc fit of whiggery. None o.
these States have ever done anything for the wing
cause. except to furnish the party with officehOd
ers and even the men they elect wings are who'll!
unreliable If they should dictate TO the democrats
party, they would only be exercising jursdIcaon
within their own manor but when they attempt to
lord it over the wing party they encroach on f0gg
soil, and are interlopers. The wing party never nae
any favors from them, and never expect any; conSS
quently, TIE whig party will not feel at all alafIeo
about their votes. They are universally CONCEDED

party. Il is because they belong TO the Union lid
they are entitled to seats in National Convention
not because they are calculated upon to the extent
straw in the canvass. We trust, therefore, haI H'
managers aOiN be treated a0ih merHG cur
tempt and that no member of the convention a0lH s "
fuenced By their presence or absence lhere ae
sublime stretches of barefaced impotence wnl D
should not be tolerated. and this attempt OF Sou''I
ocofoco States to dictate to the wing party Is o'
the sort.''
The foregoing is any thing but comPIImenaly u"
the Southern allies. They are coOlly told thai u'ss
have never been of any real benefit to the "Nspn,
ty, any way-that they are " swindling manager,
in the concern, and merit nothing but contelnp'
and that it is matter of but little importance "n''
sr they attend or absent themselves from the w"
