Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1854-08-04

Inc toliowlng communication, we have no
doubt, expresses the honest convictions of
vast number Of those who have always, here
tofore, voted with the wing party in this
State. A good portion of them, we trust,
will hereafter vote where their vote will be
effective for the cause Of Freedom:
Editors of the Worcester Spy:
Sirs-A friend has Just put into my hands
the National .Egis, Of your city, of July Goth,
wherein is an article that particularly attracted
my attention. The article is entitled "The
Sentiment at the South" This article begins
with an editorial remark of the .Eg's, very
approyingly giving remark of another paper,
saying "that continued crying out against
the aggression of the South, is hardly fair"
But who have been thus crying! The Wing
press of the North has been foremost in this
has been loudest in declaiming against the
aggression of the South, the NEBRASKA Per-
fdy." From that quarter the first cry was,
The National Wing Party is defunct. The
Wings of the North can have no further po-
litical connection with the Wings of the
South" And this was followed by loud and
apparently earnest and sincere professions Of
a desire for the fusion and union of all the
friends Of Freedom of all parties at the North,
for the purpose of staying this aggression, of
recovering the ground lost, and of securing
for the future, under our government, the
practical exemplifieation of the great principle
in that self-evident truth, "that all men are
created equal And these cries and profess
sions were at first so common, and so appar-
emily honest, that most of the rank and file of
the Wing party actually thought all that was
so said and professed, was really meant. But
the secret of the whole thing is becoming APP
e. E|a,, Tx.
First, it soon leaked out that all these pro-
fessicns of desire for a fusion of parties,
were based upon condition that the wing
name and organization must remain, and the
names and organizations of other parties must
be abandoned their members must crawl
upon the wing platform as best they could
Not an intelligent man of Massachusetts but
knew full well that no fusion or union of par
ties wouldibe effected upon such condition.
This would be impossible in the very nature
of the case. Hence this consideration alone
must be sufficient to show the hollowness of
these professions.
Again, the course of the Wing press and
leading politicians, in regard to the Worcester
Convention = their logged stubbornness in
keeping away from the Convention, and keep
ing away all they could of their party, and
then growing because the Convention was
found i'll the control of others their previ-
Gus warning of the Convention to make no
nominations, as it was not called for such
purpose, and had no right to do this, and sub
sequently Cthe Convention having refused to
make nominations,) heaping upon that gath
ering all manner of abuse, because, forsooth,
it refused to pass a resolution virtually nomi-
mating candidates for members of the next
Congress, in all the districts of the State J.
their party-colored accounts Of that meeting,
and their eontemptuous sneers in relation to
tall, all go to show the insincerity in their
aforesaid professions.
1t is now believed by many, that the afore-
said cries and professions of the leading wings,
have been made merely to quiet the conscien-
ces of the honest portion, embracing the rank
and file Of their party, andto prevent a ''stana-
pede in their ranks and, if possible, to gain
small accession from other parties and hav-
ing secured these objects, to make friends
again with the Southern wings, and all march
| together again, as heretofore-"to certain &c
tory The above-named article in the .Egis,
| goes clearly to sustain this opinion-Dont sag
! hard things against the Wings of the South
| The next thing with these presses and politi-
clans, will doubtless be to say to their party,
80, this Kansas Nebraska business, is, after
| all, small afiair-no great harm can come of
it-better give it all up-let it all pass he
united again with our brethren of the South,
and go on again 'to certain rictory.'" Victory
| in what In Slavery Propagandism
If the Wings of Massachusetts desire to be
in this manner transferred to the support of
the Slave Power, SO be it. But there are some
of the party who are Republicans, and will
not submit to this-not esteeming themselves
entirely the slaves of their ambitious grasping
leaders. REPUBLICAN.
