VIII they do.
II the Wings Of the South do not mean
be the allies Of Seward, and the active in
ruments Of his wicked ambition, they must
enounee in some solemn and authoritative
manner, all sympathy and association with
ne Wing party of the North. No doubt
intelligent Wings in the South perceive this
ecessity of their position, and began to in
uire by what policy they can best serve the
interests of their section. To such we pre-
sent these considerations.
As anationa organization, the Whig par
ty is defunct. The action of the recent Con
senuon at Syracuse demonstrates that the
Northern wing of the party is thoroughly
and irretrievabIy dbolitionized. With manly
Indignation, the Richmond W1ig denounced
he platform of the New York Wings in
hese emphatic words:
q What we object TO most in this platform is
not The opposition il ws TO the principles of
The Nebraska bill, although that would be

II i, the determined hostility it expresses to the
eNIenSlOH OF slavery anu the admission OIL new
Slave States into the Union--fhe spirit. in short
f nndyIng hatred to slavery itself as it exists
in the Southern States af this Union. That is
! he pr milent feeling that pervades aim stsse-
ry resolution in the series"
The Wings of the North repudiate their
Southern allies with insult and contumeIy.
They proclaim open and relentless war
against the rights of the South. They repro
bate the conduct of the Southern Wings in
the strongest terms of reproach and denun-
citation. Anxious as the Whig politicians Of
the South may be to preserve the integrity of
their party, the Syracuse demonstration and
and ascendancy of Seward make the thing
The breach is irreparable.-
Henceforth the Wing party is divided into
two hostile factions, between which no SYM
pathy or cooperation is possible.
What shall the Wings Of the South do
If they maintain an independent organiza
ton, they will but play into the hands of Sew
ard. They will embarrass the Democracy,
without in the least detracting from the
strength of the Wings of the North. They
will dissipate their own strength in an una
saiing and impotent demonstration.
The true policy for the patriotic Wings of
he South = for such as esteem the interests
of country above the concerns of party-is |
o co operate cordially and zeaously with
he Democratic party in its noble endeavor
o uphold the Constitution. to preserve the
Union, and to defend the rights OF the South
igainst the assaults of the Abolitionists.
