Morse, Sutliff. & Co, with the wings. where
by Senator Wade, whig. was elected, and
whole batch Of whig state and county officers,
as, Auditor, Judges, &c. These same terrible
free soilers would have elected Mr. Griswold,
father Saxton's favorite candidate, but for
tell il not in Gath-rkig 81 siuergreys' who treaeh-
erously and basely opposed him. Put that and
that together. old neighbor. How does Faith
er SaxtOn expect the whig party 10 recover its
former power and ascendency unless il coal
esee with democrats or free soiers? There are
not wings enough TO rescue and restore it. Is
it worse to unite with free soilers and liberal
democrats than with hunkers and old fogies?
The coalition" the "Medills" do advocate
is, union of all liberal men holding similar prin-
ciples, on the great living issues of the times
Not coalition for the partition Of spoils, but
consolidation for the promotion Of primary
and benefcent principles, not one of which but
Father Saxton can lend his sanction and his
prayers. We advocate none but pure repu6ll-
can principles, and desire all men holding SIM
liar views, to coaesce for the common good
We are not bound up by traditians and prece-
dents merely. Werevere not fogyism because
it is ancient, and runneth to time beyond the
memory of the oldest inhabitant
BY request ofthe Editors of the Forest City"
we insert the above not that we think it will
be at all interesting to our readers, but to do
ample justice to the Messrs. Medill, who sup.
pose themselves agrieved by an article which
we copied from the Ohio Repository.
The reader will discover that Mr., Medll
comes down on Mr.. Saxton in a very bad tenn
per, evncing at once the weakness ofhis cause.
There is nothing in The remarks of the Repos-
itory calculated to provoke personal contro.
versy, yet the Forest City makes it the excuse
for low personal attack, such as gentlemen
do not usually resort to. Mr.. Saxton simply
states what he supPoses to be fact, with
out note or comment as to the purity of the
motive of the Forest City, yet he is dealt with
as an intentional maligner.
And they are not content with mere deni'
al, or notice (for it amounts TO nothing more,
of the remarks of Mr.. Saxton but they resor
to Misrepresentation in defence of their very sin
guar cause What are the facts - Mr. Sax
ton charges them with having deserted the
Wing ranks To this charge they file spe
cial plea, which amounts to a confession with
an attempt to avoid. They desire union o
Wings and Free Sellers, but claim that such I
state of fact would not be coalition. If W,
can understand them they would have the nom
inees of the Wings and Free Sellers to with
draw, and then let the two parties unite in tn
selection joint ticket And this they clar
would be union Of "liberal men holding sim
liar principles. And for such state Of things
they attempt to prepare the way, by dcclarin
that the Free Soil platform contains nothing
which Wing could not censcicntously sui
scribe. With all due Difference to the Edio
of the Forest City, we beg leave to differ wit
them. The charges Of Mr. Saxton are true
: But it is useless to follow this matter farthe
The Messrs Medill cannot disguise the fa
that they are laboring for coalition of VIII
and Free Soers for, to say the least oft vel
suspicious purpose. No good Whig could 6
with them No consistent Free Soiler can joi
them The principles Of the two parties as the
are now set forth are as opposite as the poll
Since the attack of the Forest City upon tn
administration of Mr.. Fillmore, we have sus
pected its Whiggery' and now that it ha
sold out, body and breeches, to locofocoisr
and its adjuncts, we have no confidence in it
honesty. Those who are not Wings in adyer
sty are not Wings at all.
We have no doubt we will be charged witt
being pro-slavery by these pure patriots, bu
such charge cannot be sustained We ar
as much in favor Of the annihlation of the pc
cnIiar institution as any professed Free Soiler
but we have no sympathieS with those VIII,
are attempting to accomplish it by political or
CARNATIONS for doubtful purposes.
