The Montgomery Journal, the Wing central o,
of Alabama, sustains the movement of the pa,ssan
burg paper in favor Of Southern Wing Convon.;Il''
The Journal says:
sThe reasons expressed by the INTELLIGENCE,
unfortunately too true. Thus feeling and Tins art are
lieving, we cheerfully, so far we are concar.s
sanction the idea of a Southern Wing Conyent;neu'
suggested by the Intelligence and think thai las as
sooner it is called the better it will be for ~. .he
country. VIC
That we sincerely regret the necessity VIII,
renders such Convention necessary, none who knon
us, will for q moment question. There are WI
at the North who have been highly esteemed h sS
as sound, conservative, national republicans h s
their recent loud denunciaons of the South o ~
slavery, have produced The most painful ds,rus nI
notification We allude particularly to that nov, %"u
who sustained the Compromise measures of 1850 hm
who now are loud in their denunciations of the re-.
peal of the Missouri Compromise, contained in n.
Nebraska bill. Why they should thus denounce tho
repeal of the Missouri Compromise now, when tbor
sustained its repeal in the bills establishing Tarr
rial Governments for Utah and New Mexico, we ara
unable to divine, unless it is for thu purpose of bu
ing up great northern anti>slavery party, which
must eventually end in the subverson of our instn

such Is their purpose-and are unable to see vbot
other end they have in view-of course the Soutban
Wings can have nothing more to do with them, and
matter of course. must set up for themselves a"S
act altogether Independently of Them. N"O
{" We then say, let us have Southern WHO Co
ventlon, that we may build up platform upon which
not only every true American Republican can stand
tor we would not have it sectional platform.
The Tallahassee Sentinel long the LEADING VIII;
paper of Florida, takes mournful survey of the
wreck which its party has made of itself in the
North. II says

than we, as furnishing the most conclusive evidence
of its final dissolution. If, indeed the vote on the
Nebraska Bill is to be received true test of Wbc
orthodoxy, then there is Wing party at the North

the whole Wing Press al the North made war against
it. They tell US in the most emphatic language that

notice that they appeal from the decision Of Congress

the motto inscribed on their banners shall be repeal

law included They threatened 10 repeal this law in
80 and 81, and the whole South told them TO do it
at their peril Let them dare either to repeal or cs
sentiaIly modify that law, and they would strike
cord that would at once vibrate through the whole
South and unite her people one man in defence of
their just rights
After abiding to the distinctly announced pur
pose of the Northern Wings to have no mere COM
promises with slavery to the threat of their lead
ing organs TO elect Steward President, in 1856 and
to other indications of purpose on their part to per
severe in their abolition movements the Sentinel
concludes by urging the importance of convention
of the Wings of Florida AS follows:
We should therefore, in view of the present aspect
of affairs, like to the Wing party of Florida meet
and consult together for the purpose of taking an
observation. 1t is time for US 10 know on what
ground we stand. True 10 principIes-true to
the whole country, it behooves us to know who are
our friends and who enemies.
