written opinions Of lis cabinet, compose'i
Of such responsible names as John Z. Cal
houn, W. II. Crawford, William Writ, and
John Quincy Adams. No doubt was ever
expressed, or thought Of, as to its validity
in either honor or legislation, until within
the past few weeks, when at the very mo-
ment when the slavery "agitation" was
supposed to be eEectuslly allayed by the
&" tinali'y" of the compromise of 1850, i.
sas suddenly revived again in its most
obnoxious form by those who had been
most clamorous for peace. Whatever else
may result, this movement is certain to be
q potent element Of excitement and dir
cord in future elections.
@-The Er-Chairman is Indignant and
pathetic, iu his appeals through the Star,
for the Wings to "rally" and endorse his
revolutionary call In this free land it is
the privilege Of all to attach themselves
to whatever party they choose, aud those
who elect 10 act with New Berlin in this
matter, have perfect right to do so ; and
We shall not follow the S,ar's example
and denouncc them as "mcan" and eds
appointed Office hunters" "expert in trick
cry aud villaiaous double dealing" because
they think or act differently from us,
An old Wing asks US to give the young
man (uho he supposes to be acting as a
mouth piece for old wire-workers,) this
bit of advice: "Hard arguments are much
better than hani wori<." [But when a
man is "hard up" and has no arguments
Of the adamantine order, brisk volley of
'.hard words" is the best lie can do to
raise dust aud hide his true position ]
His only attempt to prove himself tie
Chairman, is the fact that his paper hap
pens to be dated the day before ours but
it also happens that the Selinsgrove Demo-
krat bea,s the same date as the Star, and
the call was there Published q day before
it appeared in the Chronicle.
The statement Of the Star that the ''call
for the meeting" was not published in the
Chronicle ''un,il the day after" Feb. 2nd,
is a bal,ucination under whi.h the Senior
labors, as erroneous AS his whim that be
is still Chairman of the Committee. That
the Demokrat Of 26th Jan. and the CHro-
njcle Of 9th jan, contain the call for a
Whig Meeting on the 18th Feb, can be
abundautly proved as we'll as the fact that
the Committee selected Col. WagenselIer,
and not Mr. Merrill for their chairman.
The sneaking insinuation intended by
the remark, "a paper may be dated back if
thought important" is worthy only Of its
source. The call in this paper-datc and
al!-was in type before Mr.. Merri'rs dis
organizing assumption was published.
Oue word as to "tricksters and double
dealing" We ask the Wings Of Union
to reflect upon the past aud say as candid
men if they know more reckless or cor
rupt set Of men than the N. Berlin clique
who are making this effert to divide the
party? Do you know set more clamor-
Gus for all Offices of honor or profit? Do
you know men more unscrupulous in the
use of means to gain their ends? Do
you not remember-for eSamplc-their
coalition last fall to prescribe, by public
falsehooIs and abuse Uhrough the Star,
Tines and E,'hr.tfeund) or by wire-pu'
! ling, such men as Jacob Martin, George
Hill, Henry Smith, Stock Of Middlecrees
Amos Stroh, Charles Cawley, Jacob Gun
dy, James d. Chamberlin, Aaron Smith
John Beale, Henry W. Snyder, John D.
Dieifenderfer, and other honest Wings
and do you not remember that every ono
On the ticket they palmed upon dissatis
fed party was either in or within the inte
rest Of New Berlin? Do you not remem
Der their treachery and fraud in mixin:
the real Division question with shan
Railroad issue? Do you not remember i
was New Berlin influence secured th
Railroad contract? that New Berlin stoo,
by the Railroad firmly until the Pcopl
talked about Division? and that since tha
day the Star clique are foremost in the fcu
heresy of Reconciliation. and while huggip,
George Hcimbach to their bosoms, ar
exhausting their magazine Of petty trick
to blast with disgrace citizens whose Ion
lives have been without stain or reproach
| These are the men who Put this youn
man forward to abuse gray-headed Whig

the men who are determined to farm no
