THE ALLIANCE NOT ACCEPTED.

The subjoined article from the New Orleans Bee
very aptly points out the reasons which have rem
dered the Democrats Of the South so aectonate to-
wards the Wings Of the South. All they want just
now is that the National Wings should quietly and
meekly fall into the Democratic ranks-nothing
more; and to accomplish all this they are full of
" smiles and afability." The names of CLAY and
WEBSTER are most reverenty mentioned, and all
the glorious recollectons of ,the past are invoked
and dwelt upon with touching degree of sentimen-
tality But the National Wings will respectfully
decline the overture, with all its Establishments
They will stand firm in their entrenchments having
faith in their own principles, and an abiding conf
dence that there enough of wisdom and conservatism
left in the country to it from the mischief of
agitation, North and South. In the language of
modern writer, they feel that they have time " to
spher out their destiny through years. as the Chal
dean men were wont to do in ages past"
FROM THE NEW ORLEANS BEE
The Democratic press of the South is exceedingly
" sweet upon the Wings about this time. It profers
them plenary indulgence pardon for past ransgression
if not absoluton for the future, provided they will only
abandon their party ties unite with Democracy and
rampant spirit of Northern Whggery These aectionate
appeals are quite amusing. When the Democratic party
in the penitude of power the poor Wings were poll
tca Parans in its eyes, and were treated oucasts,
vile Federasts abhorred and repudiated by the majority
of the people, Now that Democracy has been thoroughly
routed and broken up, it is willing nay anxious,
cruit its waning energies by calling its aid the band Of
Southern Wings which long, and often fruiessy, but al
ways steadastly has conended for the maintenance of
its principles.
We see no good reason why should yield our inde-
pendence to party which has proved cringng in adj
versity it arrogant and ntolerant in prosperity
The alliance of the Wings would be scornfuy rejected
Democracy powerful now it two years ago.
The solitary plea for this much soughtfor coalition
the Abolition propensites of Northern Whggery. Ad-
mttng the assertion its fullest and broadest extent it
neither follows that Northern Democracy is one whit
sounder, that Southern Democracy involves any dis
tncve principles which Southern Wings can consistent
ly maintain We have repeatedly shown from the record
that the Democrats of the North are tainted with Free
soil heresies quite thoroughly the Wings while
challenge those Of the South furnish single conclu-
sve in favor Of the projected alliance The
made to Southern Wings the result Of conscious
weakness and the desperate experiment of falling par
ty. Southern Wings honorably affiliate with
party whose practices whatever may be its professions
in direct antagonsm to all they hold dear in the theo
ry of our Government and its polity If longer
act in common with the Wings Of the North,
least stand by the Constitution the Unon and the Laws
dsclaming fellowship alike with Northern Freesoilers
and Southern fre-eaters Southern Whigs language
Of the Alexandria Gazette, will sustain those PRINCIPLES
which lie at the foundation of institutions As for
the mere party Of the North of all parties look
only at their dc not at the organizations which
they may temporarily belong Suppose to trust
the leaders of the Democracy? Why one day, for in
stance, would be told to have faith in Gen CAss and
the next day the Richmond Enquirer would teach to
repudate and denounce him. And so with the others.
MARTIN VAN BUREN gave lesson which will never be
forgotten.
