In azsional point OF view and in its influence upon

IcannOl see the consistency OF the present organized
opposition 10 the national administration. They have
dissolved the constitutional union party, as having &C.
compshed it's objects; have discarded the time-honoed
name Of whg and. though appealing to union men, have

What is the bas,s and object Of this Organization To
secure The execution OF the Compromise We told
in July 1852 that this object accomplished and the
constitutional union party therefore dissolved Then
the country agated by riots, rescues and formda
Bile combinations, which rendered the execution OF the
law difficult and doubtfal. Now all is comparatively
qsies; fugves are generally returned without difficulty;
and il the Compromise has been attacked in any other
feature, am not appnzed OF It.
But the South is to be frightened because the President
has appointed some free-soiles and southern rights
10 Office When did freesoers become obnoxious to
the whig party Of Georgia. II may be safely assumed
that the whole whg party OF Georgia would have voted
for Webster. Scott, Fillmore, Clay If they could not
have united upon OF them, OF them would
have taken The wing vote. Now, these distinguished
statesmen were all an abstract sense either free-soi
ers OF abouonsis. Even Mr.. Clay, southern man.

iher extension Of slavery, but actually introduced

lido not wish to deal harshly with these late wing
preferences would only ask decent RI spec for con-
sistency. The South should make on abstract
opinions upon the subject Of slavery. This would be to
dsfranchse all the citizens OF the free States and effect
a dissolution OF the Union a, once We ask only that
constitutional rights be respected.
But souhenrghts men have been appointed 10 Office

The object OF the President in making these appoint
