TIE CECIL. WING.
ELKTON, MD, MAY g, 1852.

locofoco papers are making a bold effort, .
at this time, TO place the Wing party in
hostile position to the Compromise.
The sensible men of their party are
aware, that, tried upon the old party pgin-
CIples--those which have been known
and recognised as the tenets Of the
Iemocratc creed--the defeat of their
party in the next Presidential contest is
inevitable. We hear not a word about
Sub-lrraSurv. Free Public Lands or
Low Tariff. These hobbies have served
their day; and now when the people arc
tired Of beng ridden over by these mis-
cradle, jaded, wind broken, stecds-now
when they see the arm Of labor paral-
ized-the workshops and factories stand
ing idle-our inc,haustaLle coal fields
and iron mines untouched. while We
import almost every article Of iron
manufacture from Enaland-the public
domain squandered to make political
capital now that they see LocofniSm
i'll all is dci0rmity, aud are determined
they will crush it; Ike leaders otthe
party see that some new hobby must be
mounted. Let us examine, for mo-
mcnt, the ground of these charges
Because the Editor of the .New Yoyh
Tribune chooses to express honestly
his opinions in regard to the Fugitive
Slave Law-becauSe the Wing Caucus
refused to dictate to the National Wing
Convention, and play the ridiculous
farce OF again passing resolutions in ia
vor OF the Compromise, which it had
done only 4 few months before; the
Wing party are arraignrd as enemies of
The Compromise. Now we assert, with
ont fear Of contradiction, that the Com
promise is wing measure originated
by whig statesmen, carried through by
their intellectual power and moral IN
dependence, supported by prominent
wings out Of Congress, foremost among
them Gen. Scott, and finally ratified by
wing President; and moreover, we
assert, that, but for the firm stand taken
by Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, and
other prominent wing statesmen, the
Compromise would never have passed.
As editorials Of leading papers are
quoted by the locoiocos to prove the
wing party opposed to the Compromise,
we give here a paragraph from a leader
in the .Ne,0 York Courier, wing paper
published in the hot bed of aboltionism.
"Ihe first and leading aspiration Of
our heart, is the election of DAN1El.
WEBSTER to the next PrtSidencv-not
Tor his sake or Tor Our own, but for the
welfare Of our country, for the honor o.!
oar race, in vindlCatiOn of the intelii-
gence Of our people and for the benefit
OF free institutions through all future
time. And yet we would sacrifice even
this great object, sooner than yield one
a.ta to the demands Of those, who from
party cyrediency and selfish personal
considerations, are willing 10 disturb
the late Compromise, and thereby once
more endanger the rerpetnity OF this
great and glorious Union of States, in
which the rights ofaIl are inviolably pre-
served, while together, they present a
single and united Mutton, prosperous
and powerful, and enterprizing beyond
any thing which the world hes ever be.

Now how stands this same locofoco
party in regard TO the Compromises.

against these measures stand open fol

these here, which are so plain that oul
locoioco friends may read as they &C

with telegraph speed.
