The NORTHERN WING PREss. If our Southern
Wing contemporaries will persist bindly in misintcr-
pretinS their Northern BRETHREN it shall not be our
fault We have from time to time presented to them
such extracts from leading Northern Wing journals
as show the undsoundness of the whole Northern
Wing party. We subjon short one from the Bos-
ton Atlas of tho same character. The Atlas says:
We rejoice to see the open and manly course of
the Wing press Throughout the Northern States They
all speak the language of freedom, and show de-
termination to resist the aggressions of the South,
and to punish those corrupt and cowardly polti-
clans, who, for the hope Of reward, have betrayed
heretofore been alarmed at the threat of dissolution
of the Union have learned that that danger is too
remote and that cry too ridiculous to be needed any
longer They see that aggressive character of the
slavery institution, and they have made up their
minds to throw themselves into the breach and repel
the aggressors. Union regns in the free States and
the elections will show that they be represen-
ted hereafter by traitors"
