Keep Cool Mr. whig-DOn't Fret

Z
The last Wing seems to grow wrathy and
quite skantankerous,r because in our last We
50 plainly exposed the glarng inconsistency and
deception attempted by Gov. FOOte, in speech
made BY him to democrats, at Jackson, IN
June, 1852, and in a recent letter written to
two wings, Messrs. Brooke and BOtters. We
cannot doubt but that the Wing plaintly sees
the palpsble attempt Of its pet the Governor
at guIling. Else, why makesuch fuss about
one who claims to be one Of those very loco
focos, it so desperately reviles-but whom in
fact it knows is holding with the hare and
running with the hounds" Why did not the
Wing in its hot haste in trying to excuse, de-
fend and screen this "true democrat" as it calls
the Governor give to its readers the extract
of the Governors speech to democrats copied
in our last alongside of its extractfrom the Gov
ernors letter to the two wings, Brooke and
Botters, so that all might see and judge for
themselves. The reason why it did not is too
transparent to leave a doubt on the mind Of
any body.
But if the Wing really believes that Gov.
Foote is so good and ~true democrat" as
it declares him to be, pray tell us how it comes
that rank hard shell whig is so urgently and
vehemently recommending him to the people
and especially to the wings for the high office
of United States Senator. This is passing
strange, the wings claim all the talent and
all the decency in the land" and now that
they should take up rank locofoco and urge
him for the highest office in the gift of the
State, is indeed very remarkable. They have
many as talented and much truer and far more
reliable men in their ranks than this rank To-
cofoco Gov. Foote. Where is Judge Sharkey
Judge Lake, ]. 7. McMurran, George S. Yer
ger. Gen. Bradford, Col. Starke, and host Of
Others Why pass over all these true wings
Why not make the selection from these able
men of their own party for candidate to be
run by them for United States Senator The
reason is obvious, and our friend of the Whig
well knows it. The Wing with portion Of
its party thinks that Gov. Foote, with his
double dealing, pretending to bea true dem
ocrat," and "aggitating" and preaching on the
settled question of the Compromise may gull
and deceive enough of democrats who, by
combining with the wings, may elect him
United States Senator, who is at all times ready
to be anything which may serve his own sell
fish purposes. This scheme is so shallow and
barefaced that we think it cannot escape the
observation of any body. ALI sides admit
and agree that the Compromise questions are
finally settled, and the well-being, peace and
harmony of the whole country require and
demand that the further agitation" of these
perplexing questions should cease and be al
rest The National Conventions of both par
ties last year solemfly declared that they were
finally settled and pledged their respective par
ties to cease the further "agitation" of them
both in and out of Congress. But, in total
disregard of this universal expression of the
public will, there are certain individuals who
cannot exist except by deception and hum
buggery are trying to keep up agitation as {
sort forlorn hope. See the letter on our frs
page.
