The Columbus (Ga.) Times extends avery kind

OF !he Southern wings to remain in tina Union and
control the action Of the government, their coope,

Of consistency could they join the democracy, which
clasps and holds to its bosom tho most labid aboli-

would prefer the free soil and abolition wings to

But the GOODNESS with which the Times holds out

Of the kind we have ever met with. Why, il really
in earnest, the editor of the Times must think the
Southern wings tile greatest fools in the world, or
he must himself have taken leave of his senses.
If the wings of the South have to meet in national
convention with free soilers, they meet as WELL
or a little better, with wings than with democrats,
and we apprebend that they can build up platform
fully national and as conservative of the rights
Of the South, as if they were in democratic con-
yention. But it seems that there must necessarily
wings in the estimation of the democracy for they
unblusbiDgy practice the very things they have the
auo acity to charge as great offence If followed by
the wings, to wit: utilization with free soiers and
abOtionists; and 1t seems to be taken for granted
that this is all right and proper in the demo-
cIats, but great outrage upon the South if
done by the wings. Just look, for instance at the
last Presidential canvass. The Southern wings met
in convention with their Northern wing brethren,
adopted platform upon which every truly national
republican might stand, and then nominated a
Southern born and Southern bred man for the
PIesidency-who had fought the battles of his
country at home and abroad, and had everywhere
maintained the honor, interests and welfare of the
country. We'll, the Southern democrats met their
