was not ready to dissolve the Wing party he was yet

most against stace7y. He gave has cordial apprO6a-

most remarkable speech made was that of Mr.. Lord
Speaker of the Massachusetts, House of Representa-

come back and revive old associations with men who
believe we have a country, and a whole country and
that Wing policy-anti-slauery though that policy

the sohoe country. Except for that sir should

Coalitionsts stand throwing up their caps, asking
support for those Ant-Nebraska men who put it in
to the power of slavery to pass the Nebraska BILL
That bill could not be passed without suspension
of the rules and those Nebraska men voted for
that suspension. The fact is, as my friend has told
you and few words will tell the whole story, with
a Wing administration you never could do it, and
with Democratic administration you sure to do

The worst sign visible is that the professedly
sentative Wing press of Boston eagerly lauding
the action of the Convention. The Boston Courier,
once the organ of Mr.. Webster, and now the repre-
sentative medium of the Winthrops, Appletons and
the other Wing oligarchy of Boston, pronounces the
above speech of Mr.. Lord to be 'manly and patri-
otic' Thus all disguise is thrown off, and the Wing
party of Massachusetts, stand forth the great and
practical abolition party of the lsnd. They assert
too and with the greatest truth, that the whole
Whg party of the North occupy the same PLATFORM !

They proclaim moreover, that Franklin Pierce, and
the Democracy of the North, are opposed to the
practical carrying out of their Ubiquitous resolutions
and they glory in the fact that not one Northern
W Mig favored the Nebraska BILL which passed by
the Democracy of the North under the stringent in
fuence of the Administration. Can Southern Wings
require stronger proof of the utter unsoundness of
the Northern Wing party and of their own duty, as
true lovers of the South and of the Union to come
into the ranks of the National Democracy, that has
done so much to enforce the constitution and pre-
serve the Union !? No arguments necessary to |
enforce these views Facts speak out in thunder |
tones the solemn obligation ofal parties at the South
to band together, upon the broad and safe ralyng-
point presented by the national Democracy"
