If the indications already noticed not sustain us fully
in the hope expressed that the alliance between the wings
and that whggery about make an effort to stand
alone we invite the doubling reader to peruse the follow
ing comments of the New York Express on the late extra
ordinary avowal by Sumner he recognises
obligation imposed by the constitution on the subject of
surrenderng fugitive slaves. The Express has been but
little behind the New York Times in the violence of its OPP
position to the Nebraska BILL but having discovered the
point to which Mr. Sumner would lead the wings il
upon him. and deals the following heavy blows:
-"We called this perjury-rank unblushing bold

Piles and such loose morals he and such incucate
that have done to strengthen the slave power in this
country than any other agency agencies thought

ave unapprzed of the anecedents of Mr. Sumner
We well how thoroughly mpregnated he is with
the extreme ansavery sentiment, and not Mt all
prised therefore, at the intense hatred he for slavery
and its supporters But what do wonder at is, how
acknowledging the ordinary obligations of honor, and
the binding efficacy of solemn oath, in the transactions of
life thus deliberately repudate BOTH setting at
naught the good opinions of his and drawing down
upon his head not blessings In what school of ethics
of this character reared it is difficult to say but
thing certanhs education has been of kind to fit
him for anything but seat in the United States Senate for

God for the truth of what he says will to support the
constitution of the Union and then boldly proclaim that he
will do it, has sunk depth of humiliation and degra
dation which it would be envabe for the veret serf
the lowest of Gods creation to occupy"
