WEDNESDAY MORNING. JUNE 81. le54.
The recent fanatioal views put forth by the
New York Courier aud Enquirer and other north
ern Journals heretofore regarded conservative and
national have called forth determined and indig-
nant responses from many Southern presses. aud
have led to the serious consideration of the qaes-
ton whether longer party association with the
Wings of the North is possible. Indeed both
the leading parties of this day exhibit an uneasy
and disturbed condition, and suggestions for their
reconstruction are promulgated by some of the
most prominent political organs. The New York
Herald of Saturday copies editorial articles from
several papers North and South, whose views are
thus stated 1.-THE Petersburg lntelligeneer
dasgusfed with the free soil and abolition propen-
sites of the Northern Wings. a. developed upon
the Nebraska bl proposes convention OF the
wings Of the Southern States for the purpose OF
shaping out their principles and policy n an in
dependent sectional organization. The Srannnh
Georgian ldemocratio) thinks the Southern wings
ought to act upon this suggestion BY all means.
Perhaps Mr. Toombs and Mr.. Stephens think 50,
too. as the most respectable way Of getting snug
and coy corner in the reorganization of the de-
mocratie party. Per contra, the Buffalo Courier
reads an instructive lesson to the Virginia refo-
lutionists. The Boston Courier tNebsteranl
proposes a national cohesion of the wings. Moth
and South ulon the great principle Of the resto-
raiioa Of tine Missouri compromise. writer IN
the Boston Alias suggests grand Northern anti
slavery organization. including whgs,iree soders
proper abolitonisis, and all such free soil demo-
Gratis as may choose to come in. The Lowell
Journa, like The Virginia nutneer, with an eye F
directly to business, proposes a grand mass con
yenton of the wings Of Massachusetts, and Of all .
others advocating the restoration of the Missou-
ri compromise and other anti slavery movements,
with view of clearing the track for 1885,
The Herald seems to consider il not impossible
that the Southern Wings will merge their organ-
cation in that of the Democratic party Moth
ing is less reasonable or probable. The uhan
donment by Northern Wings of the national plat
form would not affect the principles aud opinions
of Southern Wings nor bring them nearer than
they now are TO the antagonists 10 whom they
haye stood opposed from the day Of their birth
IL may be TINT the fluctuations of public seuii-
ment, the mutations of political issues and the
fanatcal proolivities of Northern men of all par
ties may create a gull between the Wings of the
North and the South; but the latter will stand
upon the ground they have always occupied and
hold fast to the creed they have ever cherished
If Southern Democrats desire the utilization OF
Southern Wings they must cross the line that
now separates them; they must ronounee many
opinions they now entertain reform many prao
tees to which they are used, and choose some
other leader than President who bestows the
Offices and honors of the government upon the
open enemies OF the South, and who thinks tbut
another slave state will never come into the union
though we acquire the whole Of Mexico"
As TO Il proposition of the Petersburg Intel
hgenccr for convention of Southern Nhig- we
doubt whether the time for it has arrived, fit T
may come at all. Certainly without the return
of a sounder condition of sentiment aud ulster
course OF action in the North, continued assoeia-
ton as party with the Wings Of that section
will be impraclicable; but there is no necessity
for immediate action and we do not despair that
the interval Of time between this and the next ..
lection 10 the Presidency may be employed in /
wiser reflections and better conclusions than we
have lately had evidence of.
