against will been forced upon US oy the action OF
the Wings Of the North. For time there were
some who held out or seemed to hold out, against
the fanatical attempts upon the Union made by It's
enemies, the AboIitionsts; but these at last have
been carried off by the heady current OF Free Soil
ism, and now the South has not one trend among
the influential Wings of the North, except Millard
Fillmore, upon whom she could rely for aid and sup
pori in maintaining her Constitutional rights. This
is melancholy statement. the truth OF which cannot
even be doubted People may wish 1t were other
wise, but fire and water will soon harmoniZe as
Southern Wings and Northern Free Sellers. The
Northern Wings have not only deserted the Wings
of the South. but have added insult to injury
Their tone is that of superior to inferior. Their
language is, s'Gentleman of the South, you want too
much, and we cannot yield it to your demands. AS
long you content with what ace were willing
to concede to you it all very well, but now that
you have set up for yourselves it is quite another
thing" Such language pre- supposes as vassalage
on the part of the South which, Southern man,
we Indignantly deny and repel. We beg. nothing at
the hands of the North, but demand, anf will in the
end compel respect for Constitutional rights.
| The Southern Wings having thus been deserted by
the hypocrites of the North, who long played
double game with u.s. the question will necessarily
arise to what is true policy. In the absence
of something which we cannot now nationally ex-
pect, cannot believe that the Wings of the South
will consent to be represented in a called Wing

piled wrongs and insults Should this view of the
subject be taken by Southern Wings generally, as
we sincerely hope it may, it will then be necessary
to take other action. We sincerely wish that

may be, our advice is the prompting of "a heart de-

We throw out then for The consideration of our

to consider The policy and duty of the Wings at the
South. Although the Wings at the South may new
be able to eject Wing OF their choice to the Pres

the democrats of the South, They cooperate in
the acquisition OF Cuba, and thus place two slave
States in the way of Northern aggression while ii
would throw open TO Southern enterprise and South
cities, the trade of the most fertile and beautiful
island of the The true and best mode of re-
slstng Northern aggression is to foster and develop
by all possible expedients vast and incalcu-
liable resources. Build up New Orleans, Mobile
Charleston, Savannah and Norfolk and in turn they
will build up the interior cities and towns and place
