The Wing Party.

A united Wing Party is the great bul-
wark Of freedom. Democracy has split in
to pro-slavery and anti-slavery sections. and
slavery has advanced under Democratic au-
spices. The Wing party has avoided these
extremes, recognizing the right of each
Southern State to its existing institutions.
but presenting an impregnable front against
the extension Of slavery On that ground
every Wing can stand, for it is the true
principle But on no narrower platform
can conservative Wings find a place. Let
every Whig. therefore, consider well each
movement in the present crisis, and heartily
oppose everything that is designed or calcu-
lated to sectionalize the party-to make the
slavery question its sole issue-to abolition
ize it,-tor all such attempts can tend only
to division in our ranks, and the destruction
Of the party's influence in the Union.

larger cities, rising for days In succession,

can, very conscientiously, add our COM

continuation of excessive heat, in this re-

mail stage route from this place to Shreve-
port. and that the mails on all the stage
routes from this place be carried in four
horse coaches. The attempt to carry them
in two horse coaches considering their great
weight and bulk, and the horrible condi-
ton of the roads in winter is a perfect bur-
lesque upon mail facilities.

ter to be relied on, that the subject is be-
ginning to receive some consideration and
that if our Shreveport friends will join us

RETALIATIoN-The CONNECTICUT Legis-
lature having passed law nullifying the
law of Congress in relation to the surren-
der of fugitive slaves, South Carolina seems
disposed to retaliate, by denying the citizens
of Connecticut access to the South Carolina
Courts for the recovery of debts, and By
taxing her products. AS the balance Of
trade is against South Carolina, such a
course would materially injure Connecticut
She fully deserves it; for those who set a
dishonest example by stealing our negroes
should not complain at being swindled in
their turn. But although Connecticut de-
serves, it we hope such measures will not be
resorted to- South Carolina should be
above it. 1t would bring her to a level
with the wrongful aggressor to retaliate BY
