THREATENED AMALGAMATIoN OF WHO'S, ABoLI-
TIoSIsTs, FRBE-soILERs, &c. The New Haven Palla-
dunn, leading wing paper in Connecticut thus an
nounccth what the northern wings will do in case
the southern whig members of Congress support the
Nebraska bill:
"THE GAUNTLET THROWN DOWN. Mr.. Badger, in
his recent speech in favor of the Nebraska bill said
that &c the southern wing senators would stand uni
ted in it's favor" This of course cuts the wing par
ty in twain. So be it, If so it must be. Nothing
will remain but to pick up the fragments and unite
them with the free-soil and democratic party that
opposes the Nebraska cheat The free wings will
support Houston before Badger-Hale before Clay
ton-and so on to the end. IF the Southern wing
members of Congress ready to butcher the whig
party they must prepare to face such body of free
wings, free democrats and free solers as they
er met bcforc The Compromise ofsl950' sent free
soil and abolition stock down to 80 per cent below
par The Nebraska bill has already broaght it up
to par The passage of that bill will make it the
highest stock in market. Even Garrisonism cannot
sink it. Seward, Hale, and Chase never stood so
high in public esteem at present, and John NJ.
Miles, Gideon Welles and Francis Gillette stand fair
for early governors of Connecticut"
