THE ABOLITION wHIGs OF THE NORTH.

those who depend upon him than who proves too little
The editor of the National tcgeae is betrayed into TINS
in his paper of yesterday in which, while trying 10
the whig party Of the North from the shame OF beng
accessory the present alarming combination against the
South he the following language After quoting from
the Charleston Mercury, the Inteiligener says;
Now with all due Difference we think the wings have
been sufficiently modest this subject We read many
wg papers in the Off day, and yet we can
remember Of them which claims the overwhelming

defeats II required all the odds and e"ds ." u"o" 'o'"
phgs Jrag defeat disastrous to he democracy
will it require the sort Of materials to give ths
party victory And if "a little leaven leaveneh the whoe
lump, and brings odium upon the whg name ana cause
would of these ncongruous elements TO the
democratic foldfrom which unquestionably they have
sprung-produce the disastrous effects upon the ola
organization
Denuncation of the people factions, for the IN
diligence of whim caprice is scarcely gracious on the
part those who been long sustained by ad cap
aadum appeals
The first thing that will attention in the tallcsed
admission of this paragraph is the fact that the Infe
geneer lest compelled speak the truth in regard to
the the northern wings in the recent dem
onstrations 1t will be borne in mind that for weeks and
months the Iacgencer has sought sudiousy to conceal
from the South the industrious and active union OF the
great body of the northern wings upon certain revolu-
onary and extreme doctrines the success OF which even
the moderate whg papers the South regard as the
deathknell of the American Union. All the other ee-
ents that worked in the elections either in
stgated or led by the phensy which declared upon
the South in the shape of declaration that slave
States shall be admitted into the Unon and that the
fugitiveslave law shall be repealed 1t is equally clear
aso that when the present crusade upon certain creed
in
ways follows such movements the whig party at pres
constituted not including many high-oned men who
have heretofore been whgs) will remain organized upon
the doctrines have just stated The chief danger at the
present moment that the triumphant maorities in
tain States may be welded in favor of these doctrines
and there is the more danger this when newspaper
influential the Lligeneer has not yet dared oppor-
tunely and openly take issue with these doctrines
Although its editors have received great vors from south
wings and have proessed great attachment to south
interests their present effort is to excuse northern
fanaticism whatever shape may assume Even the fact
that one of its editors would himself be danchised be-
he born abroad has not sutced to induce him
raise his voice against the torrent of intolerance which
is sweeping the northern States, AL he admits is
that the wings have contributed their votes to this anat-
cm and this is wrung from him of evidence to
show that it required the wings and all other odds and
ends" to defeat the democratic party
The democratic party has trumphed by odds and
ends" "by ad captandp appeals" When it has tr-
umphed as was the case 1852 was because the proof
of its victorious policy had become Tesistess. Where
then were the ad captandum appeals? Surely it vas
not the democracy that then oled affect the voters OF
the country by appeals Catholic votes based upon false
allegations against General Pierce hostile to that de-
nomination. not the democratic candidate in 1857
who fattered the rich Irish brogue' and the "sweet
German accent and esorted to other ad odpfdndum
pea" Then now, the democracy stood fast to primer
pe dsdaned make efforts for the votes of the odds
and ends" and rallied upon platform broad and compre
bensiye US the constitution itself If the democratic party is
ever to succeed hereafter will do by dshonorng its
history or repudiatng its pledges.
Meanwhile the National Iegencr silent in the midst
of danger and anxious to profit by base and mcrcenary
combination whose would be nations run stands
by and contents itself with picking flaws n TIE record OF
the only remaining constitutional party in the free states
