whlggery and the Tribune.

Gle the other day on the manner by which
Wing Leaders of New York had fraudu-
lently foisted their State Ticket upon the
Peoples Convention, and besides saying
good many hard and bitter things of
US personally, among other things, it
says:
aWe the more regret the course of our
neighbors because they thus show the
narrow. selfish nature Of their principles
by what tenure they are bound to the
cause of Freedom"
st does seem, as if their aim was to
create bitter feelings, stir up feuds, and
keep alive prejudices among those who
should work together in harmony"
Are our neighbors Wigs, or are they
Republicans? We had, in our simplicity,
supposed that the Wing and Freesoil Par
Ties in this State were both dead ard
that the party, REPUBLICAN, which
had been born of their dissolution, was
one which our neighbors, with ourselves,
were proud to belong to-
1t is our neighbors. and papers like
theirs, who are fostering and stirring up
prejudices, by assuming the old Wing
Party to be the Party of Freedom.
Every one knows, and every one who
is candid will say, that the Wig Party
isjust as pro-stdreryas the present Pierce

gencer, the leading. Wing paper, goes so
far as to denounce all who say that slave
~ in the abstract is sin. The Wing
Baltimore Platform was just like the
Pierce party Baltimore Platform, on this
matter. Gen. Scott, the Wing Candidate
said he indorsed the whole of the plat
form, and claimed to have aided in the
passage OF the Fugitive Act. Willard
Fillmore, the Wing President, signed that
Act--the first of the two Great Infamies
which the Republican Party pits itself
against.
Was not what we said of the Wing
Party truth2 Had we not reason to say
it2
Slavery has perfect control of both the
old parties-the Wing rs well as the so
called Democratic, and as National Par
ty, it is an engine Of infamy.
We all know that the Northern Wing
OF either National Party, can adopt fair
sounding resolutions, which are only
meant as fraud. Did not the Softs of New
York talk loudly Of Freedom, and do they
not now sustain Pierce and Nebraska ?
Did not the Hunkers of this State. in l849
take the broadcast possible free ground,
but what iniquity have they left undone?
Did not Fillmore in 1914 write letter
to the Liberty Party, indorsing and pledg-
ing himself 10 all the positions of that
Party, and did not he sign the Fugitive
Act2 !
The National Party, on either side,
does not care how much Freesoil the |
Northern Wing processes for local sue
cess, only so it can be brought round right
Mt the National Election. This it is al
ways able to do with all those who love
party and success more than they do
Principle and Freedom.
Profession of zeal for Freedom and at
tachment to old party is false, one or the
other of them. One side or the other /
will be cheated. Unless one is willing
to leave party and all else for Freedom.
he is not true. In these days the best
evidence we have of mems truth ia their
to yield all organization for /
the cause of Freedom.
Wings in this State, Michigan, Illinois,
and elsewhere have done this, and We be-
lleye them true. Wings in New York
have not done it, and we believe them
not true
So far from wishing to stir up bad feel
ing, the writer will do all he can to pre-
vent it. He originally belonged to the
Old Line Democracy. He left it for
new party he thought better We de-
nounce the party zoe left for its infamy
Our neighbors JOIN in this most heartily.
No hint of stirring up bad feeling is ex-
pressed. We denounce the party our
neighbors have left, and our neighbors are
touched to the quick, and complain that |
we are stirring up bad feeling!
Neighbors, if you arc as honest Repub-
licans as we, you will not vince when the
infamy of the Old Wing Party is denounc-
cd, any more than you will when the in
fanny of the Old Line Democracy is dc
nounced.
1t was not Republicans We complained
Of, nor no one who is striving to adj
vance the cause of Freedom but it was
the fraud of National Wing Leaders, like
Raymond & Co., who are trying in New
York to play the same game that the Pro
slavery Democracy in this State played
so successfully in lS49, "Knock the wind
all out of the sails" of the Party of Free
dom, by loud, hollow professions, while
insisting upon the old pro-slayery organ
ization, that we complain Of
In joining the Republicans, we did it
heartily, and hope our neighbors did.
And we rejoice to say that those in this
State who were Wings have shown no
