,ha above head, indicates the course which 1T
means to pursue in relation to National poll
80. II will cling to the wing name and
whie organization, and expects thereby, to
ssfsat the Democratic party, and put stop to
the domination and extension of the slave
mower. The Times is not alone in this deter
mination. A correspondent of the Boston
Alias. signing himself g Nathan Dane" in
Inmates the same disposition. He too, expects
to save the republic, and to nationalize liberty,
through the agency of the wing party. We
are sorry to see the invcterate partyism of the
whies manifest itself in this way at this cri-
sis We are sorry to find that the past has
had so little effect in correcting their absurd
egotism, and that the future has so little to
hope from their liberality or patriotism. The
,vhip partv, as a National party, is defunct.
The hallucination that it +" still lives only
exists among few " Silver Greys," in New
York and amongst some " Indigo Blues"
in Massachusetts. hcpeoplc generally have,
now. no conidencein either the wing or DEM
ocratic party. They will not put I" new wine
in old bottles They will not be induced,
any more, to risk the interests of liberty in
order to crafty the prejudices Of a few bigot-
ed believers in tradition. The wing party
has served its day and generation, and is now
used up; and the sooner it hobbies out of the
way. and permits the new Northern party to
take the tracks, 1t will be better for those who
still attach themselves to it, and for the coun-
try which they have so powerfully assisted to
bring to its present humiliating position.
We think the leaders of the Wing party are
under solemn obligations to the country to
abandon their tradition, and absurd preten-
sions and to exert themselves to procure the
organization of a new Northern party. They
ought to make some PREPARATION for inhicting
the Fugitive Slave law upon the North, and
the noblest PREPARATION they can now make, is
to bury in oblivion the name Of the party un-
der whose administration that edict was made,
and to assist to organize the hosts of Liberty,
under banner on whose folds there is no
stain. The Free Democracy contend for prin-
eiples, not for names but they will never
consent to desert their own unsullicd orr
famine, and follow the ragged banner of party
leaders, who have neither the intelligence to
perceive their own weakness, nor the candor
to acknowledge it if they had.
What acknowledgements have the Wings
to adhere to their organization and name p
Have they any reasonable hopes of defeating
the Democracy in 1856 And upon what are
their hopes predicateds They surely cannot
hope to inspire the public with confidence in
their q anti-slayery principles" The Fugi-
tive Slave law and Baltimore platform, bear
witness against them on that point. They
surely cannot hope to defeat Pierce and Cush-
ing through the ''superior responsibility of
their individual leaders. Personal respecta-
bility did not lead the Hebrews through the
Red Sea and the Desert, and personal re-
spectability,' will never drive political knave-
~ and chivalrous Slavery from the capitol, at
Washington.
If the leaders of the Wings will not read
the signs of the times Alright. and consent to
q new organization sof the Friends of Free
dom. the people must leave them in their ma.
tive darkness, where they can congratulate
themselves upon losing the confidence of ever,
true friend of liberty, and of retaining thu
barren name of Wing.
All, this is no time for dainty dallianct
about party names. The true, brave, hon
est-hearted patriot would he ashamed to be
found painting his shield with device, when
it should be on his arm and thrust in the face
Of the foe. Liberty has been driven to the
wall, beat down, and trampled on, under both
Wing and Democratic auspices. The domain
of freedom has been invaded and stolen Jun
der both Wing and Democratic sanction
State rights have been ignored whenever sla-
very found it convenient to do so, under both
Wing and Democratic rule, and now the cry
is, from the North, 'sWe shall submit to this
no longer. We shall not only not submit to
be made the slaves of the South, but we shall
not submit to be made the tools of the Wing
or Democratic leaders,
1.-THE republic is to be saved, from the NOR
tai Of Slavery, by a. new party. We do
not ask that it shall be called the Free Demo-
cratic party; but we know that it can never
be called the Wing party. HPeirce, Douglas,
and Gushing are to be routed from the gov
ernment, land liberty is to be preserved, we must
organize anew. If others will not consent to
this, we shall nail the Free Democratic flag to
the mast, and fall, If fall we must, fighting
for freedom under it /; "with our back to the
field, and our face to the foe."
