poradict Arnold has heretofore stood alone in the
18th Of his infamy and treason. 1t seems, however,
that the spirit which would have betrayed America
tho hour of struggle for freedom, is not dead but
y! aodv to overthrow that freedom bought with such
,r;otic blood While at Boston and in Washington,
he omen call for murder, civil war and revolution,
fnds utterance, appeal to the fell spirit abo-
,;onism rings forth from heretofore respectable
r9rter and comes to our ears IN conjunction with
foice from the South (0 itself.
The New York Courier and Enquirer, has boldly
oLen the lead in this act of infamy. We will not
Joyibe the language Of that sheet. We will use the
yerv words of that Journal-aye, letters clipped from
i+s issue of Wednesday last TO confirm the charge of
.fnfamy" against 1t.
The following extracts we lake from the commu-
nicauon of a person styling himself a Southern
Whig:"
10 the Editors of the Courier and Enquirer:
Asa Southener | offer you my hearty cOngratu-
atoms for the manly and noble sentiments contained
IN YOUR leading editorial article of 10 day.
After suggesting the proper way to organize a
marty 10 repeal the Nebraska Bill, the writer makes
the following assertion
THE ABOLITIONISTS AND THE FREE SOIL
Frs. IF THEY ARE SINCERE IN THEIR PRO
TESTATTONS AGAINST THE EXTENSION OF
THUS ORGANIZED, WHOSE SOLE AIM AND
PURPOSE WILL BE TO RESTORE THE MIS-
SOURI, COMPROMISE.
"A SOUTHERN WHIG."
There no language WhereWltn 10 designate Tie
deep and damning infamy of that He boldly
proDoses an alliance between the Aboonists, Free
Sellers, Free Negroes, and Southern Wings, to make
common on the constitution and laws of the
land This too, while the abo1iOnists OF Massachu-
setts are in arms This, too, while the supremacy
Of the laws is threatened The Courier and En-
ire places this infamous position at the head Of its
editorial column, and endorses it, and commends lis
objects and spirit thus:
The above comes from Il highly intelligent South,
en gentleman in this city, and, we are confident
speaks the mind of the great body of Southern con-
,eryatye Wings
Democratic as the Times is, we feel it but Justice
to the Wings of the South to deny this assertion
that they would join in such coalition. 1t is not so
The writer who signs himself Southern Wing
and The editor Of the Courier and Enquirer. will
find themselves wofully mistaken. They may get
little countenance from aspiring politicians They
may, also, rely upon the secret influence OF abolition
lists among US, perhaps, who dare not avow openly
their fanatical and reasonable sympathies. Blu
they will find no laid" 'comfOrt" from the true
men of the South, Wing Democrat, in such an un
holy alliance And will assert here, that the mar
who signed himself "a Southern Whig,n in utterine
the above quoted sentiment dare rot give his name
and residence if indeed he has such in the South
II is from such men as these, from such sentiments
as these, suggesting, they do, murder, riot anc
treason, that the lawless outbreaks originate The
descriptions of which fill the press of the count

poor, de!uded fanatics, who aim at these dabolica
appeals are less to blame than the SUCCESSORS of thu
above sentiments Bait. Times.
