UNJUST CENsURE OF NORTHERN DEMOCRATS


UNJUST CENsURE OF NORTHERN DEMOCRATS.
We have had any patience with the apparent OBJ
tuseness Of southern wings wbo in view of all the facts
will insist that the northern democrats unsonnd
the slavery question as the wing party The Washing
ton Sentinel says that the southern wings cannot will
not be made understand the difference between northern
wings and northern democrats. They constantly affirm
that both alike unsound Some of the berest par
wing presses the South that still cherish all the
rancorous sentiments of past days go far as
charge that the northern democrats unsound than
the northern wings Others again. that propose bury
the Ratchet, Ito blot out the terms wing and democrat
from our vocabulary" and to 'une like men, make
qua and condition precedent that the ignomny
shall be equally divided between the northern democrats and
the northern whgsthat is that the southern democrats
shall agree that the northern democrats are just as
rupt denoraized and unreliable the northern wings
Compelled, they are to cut themselves off from their
freesoil allies they compel southern democrats
themselves off from northern democrats whether sound
unsound The Petersburg Inelligencer which by the
way entitled the credit of being of the first wing
papers to denounce its abotionized allies Of the NORTH
thus expresses itself in late article the cleo
tons
That the natural allies have done the job in these cleo
tons is clear mathematical demonstration for it
must be remembered that the wings in minority in
these States and the accession of strength which gave them
the late elections could have been obtained other
source than the democratic natural ally ranks"
This rank injustice the northern democratic organ
izaton. No denies that many who belonged to the
democratic party quilted that party and united with the
free-soers and that what had before been whig mnor-
ity' was thus swelled into majority The democrats
who thus united with the ee-soilers and the aboonzed
wings dsavowcd and repudated by the democratic
organization The whole Of the whig party in the States
referred to by the lntegencer became unsound while
only portion of the democrats Joined them Tha, por-
ton stands condemned Would the nellgencer con-
denim in the same manner these who remained true 2
Woud it punish both The good and the bad IL So how
can expect the South to find any friends In the North
The northern democratic party that defeated in the
recent elections by the coneeraed that have sprung
up has swerved ot little from the principles
which the Integenees says should be the basis of
between southern Ia those elections which il was
defeated it stood up for those very principles Although
beaten still glands by them These northern democrats
have proved themselves both il victory and defeat
to the constitution true TO their southern brethren Tn
der these circumstances is proper is il generous ID it
just in any paper any the South whether MI
democrat TO place them the Same platform with the
false democrats whom they voluntarily abandoned or the
aboitonzed wings whom the Intelligencer Is compelled
to abandon For our part, cling to such with
enacy that nothing can bre The wings OF the South
may denounca s,ep, but they to the Sou. "nen
the wings OF that section cGg.yoed by their more
numerous abolition allies Of the North Many of them have
been sacrificed for their devotion to the constitutional
principles for which the South now irrespective of party
contends and yet southern democrats asked aban
don them. This they will never do They will promp,ly
themselves or from all tainted democrats but their
tried and noble democratic friends of the North they will
adhere to- cherish and defend.
