THE WING PARTY DISSOLVED.

| Wings. Forty-four Democrats in the House. from
| the Free States voted for that BILL bat not one
Wing from the Free States eoted for 1T; and in
view of this startling fact coupled with Others all
going to show the nveterate opposition of Northern
Wings to the constitutional rights of the slavehold-
ing States the Editor of the Petersburg Intcgencer
leading and decided Wing, speaks out as follows:
| The VINO PARTY.-To any one of the slightest
observation it must be very apparent that what was
once known as the wing party has ceased to exist.
The name now used signifies nothing, and represents
nothing in a national sense of the word. The So
called wings of the North have not feeling in
common with the wings of the South, and it is idle
for sections antagoniststic to attempt to unite
elccting candidate for the presidency. These facts
have, much against our WILL been forced upon by
the action of the wings of the North. For time
there were some who held out, or seemed to hold
out against the fanatical attempts upon the Union
made by its eHemies-the abolitionists; but these at
last have been carried off by the heady current" of
ree-solllsm, and now the South has not one friend
among the influential wings of the North, except
Milford Fillmore upon whom she could rely for aid
and support In maintaining her constitutional rights.
This is melancholy statement, the truth of which
cannot even be doubted. People may wish it
otherwise, but fire and water will harmonic
as southern wings and northern free-soilers. The
northern wings have not only deserted the wings of
the South, but have added insult to injury Their
tone is that of superior to inferior Their language
is, Gentlemen of the South: You want too much
and we cannot yield TO your demands. AS long
you were content with what willing to con-
cede to you it was all very well; but that you
have set up for yourselves it is quite another thing.
Such language prcsupposes vassalage on the part
of the South which, as southern man, indig-
nantly deny and repel. We beg nothing at the
hands of the North but Demand and will in the
end compel respect for constitutional rights.
The southern wings having thus been deserted
by the hypocrites of the North, who so long played
double game with us, the question will necessarily
arise to what is our true policy. In the absence
OF something which cannot nationally expect,
we cannot believe that the wings of the South will
consent to be represented in socalled aoig nation
al convention To go into such a body would be to
place their threats at the points of the knives of the
fee-soil butchers. 1t would be an endorsement OF
treachery, and vile submission to multiplied
wrongs and insults Should this view Of the subject
be taken by southern wings generally, as we SIN
cerey hope it may, it will then be necessary to take
some other action. We sincerely wish that the sug
gestion we are about to make had come commended
to the party by more age experience, and position
than we can boast Of Humble however, we may
be, our advice is the prompting of heart devoted
to cause for which we have privately and publicly
struggled for the last seventeen years, and which
we will never abandon. We throw out, then, for
the consideration of southern whig brethren,
the suggestion of holding southern wing conVen-
ton in central point of the South-say Colum
bus, Ca for instance-either during the coming
autumn in the next sprig to consider of the poll
cy and duty of the whirs Of the South. Although
the wings of the South may never be able to elect a
wing of their choice to the presidency they ex-
ercise an influence most potent for good. Upon one
great subject they act with the democrats OF the
South. They cooperate for the acquisition of
Cuba and thus place two slave States in the way OF
northern aggression, while it would throw open to
southern enterprise and southern cities the trade of
the most fertile and beautiful island of the ocean.
The true and best mode of resisting northern
aggression is to foster and develop bv all possible
our vast and incalcuable resources.
Build up New Orleans Mobile, Charleston, Savannah,
and Norfolk and in turn they will build up the interior
cities and towns and place the South in condition
to laugh to the threats of the aboonists The
holding of such convention propose may be |
termed SECTIONAL WE'LL let it be 1t is SECTIONAL
and meant to be So What arc the northern wings |
now doing? Acting sectionally for the purpose of
Diolnting the constitution. Look attheir votes on
the Nebraska BILL and then if it will lay in their
mouths to rebuke the wings If the South for hold
ing sectional convention to devise ways and means
to protect the constitution from their own ruthless
assaults"
Reader! show this article to your neighbors, and
ct them see what an honorable and high spirited
Wing thinks and says of Northern Whiggery.
Many of the leaders in this State Gen. Dockery at
heir head will still labor to hold the Wings in this
State in alliance with Greedy and Seward; but the
effort will be in vain-the masses will spurn all such
7rcesoiI movements, Qor though the intent may not
De so the movement Is Freesoil,) and go with those
Who are truest to their vital interests and rights.
Remember that Gen. Dockery, in his remarks
n this place. after being. asked by Mr.. Bragg
whether he would go again into National Con-
-ention with these Northern Wings, and what he
would do with reference the cry of repeal of the
Nebraska bill raised by them, said he aoouM acGit
md see wait and see what the incendary, with
he torch flaming in his hand, would do! Remem-
,er that We Southern Rights Republicans of North
Carolina.
