BURLINGTON. FRIDAY, APRIL %, 1854.
Tie Wing r.rty and WING Principles.

Recent events have made it evident that
there 10 both NORTH" and q Wing party.
l. is also clear that without the latter there
would he no former worth naming. The
utter subserviency Of the Administration
party to Southern interests, is a fact as un.
deniable as it il shameful and not less un-
denable ia the fact that without the Wing
party, there would be no effective check upon
the encroachmontb Of Slavery
The Wing party Of the North has always
been the main, and often the sole and unaided
opponent Of slavery extension. 1t was there
fore no more than was to have been expected
that in the present crisis the Nebraska bill
should have passed the Senate without the
aid or assent Of a Single Northern Wing,
while fourteen Northern Democrats vero on
the black list Of yeas that on the test vote in
tie House, Of the twenty eight Northern votes
for Slavery not one wa, Wing; that Of those
whose voices have rung out 80 fearlesslv and
loudly against the outrage-.he Sewarls, the
Wadoe, the Smiths, the Chases, the Everetts.
the Hunts, the Summers, the Fessend5ns, the
Bells and the Culloms, nineteen out Of twenty
should have been Wings.
There should undoubtedly be prgrr,,s in
everything that is good, and that there may
bs room for progress in the Wing party, we
do not deny. We believe that in this iunc-
ture the party should plant itsalfmoro firmly
IN the rrinciplo Of uneompronieins orp3.i-
e.ion to Slave extonsion, and that it should
moro freely welcome into ite ranks all. North
and South, whose ewes are OMEN 70 the evils
OF ' the PECULIAR Institution, and who are
willing to consacrate 70 Freedom every inch
Of soil now MT open to Slavery, or which oan
le reclaimed from its grasp. That thn1 the
action Of t.s National Wig party o.l and
..oull be Improved we freely own--hut we

always stood. The same spirit that in 1850,
spoke cut in the resolutions, drawn by a
wing Senator and adopted by a Wing Senate
