What have the Natiousl Wings to gain

Sir, as an old line Clay Wing, no. in.
fected with any Of the ''Isxs" of the day.
| have attentively considered your cry for
help, aud have come 10 the conclusion that
it would be suicidal to the dearest inter-
ests Of freedom to help you.
A number OF the old line wings will
probably not vote at all at the ensuing
election. but surely to vote the ticket you
have placed before us would render rs
contemplate in the estimation of all hon
orable men.
To induce Us TO vote your ticket you
say call the issues" between Us and you
are extinct for the present" But is
hat assertion true? The convention
which nominated your candidates adopted
The platform Of principles promulgated
by the convention which nominated Pierce
for the Presidency. That .tplatform stink'
in the nostrils Of every honest whig snd
disciple Of Henry Clay. By the delusions
and treaohery Of that platform. General
Scott. whose civil ~ well - military vir-
tues are not only national, but world
wide, was stricken dowr. and Franklin
Pierce. small-beer politician Of New
Hampshire, aud 4 tenth-ra,e soldier in
Mexico. was elevated to the executive
head Of our nation.
By the success and influence Of that
platform. the Missouri Compromise, +"
tho greatest political act of Mr.. Clay .
most glorious public lie. was stricken
down. and Kansas and Nebraska, which
had been consecrated 10 freedom and free
labor BY that Conpromse, are now under
the tread Of slavery. and the scourage Of
worse than Egyptian sask-msstsrs.
Kansas. invad' d and conquered, has
succumbed to slavery, and the wall OF the
poor slave il already heard over the
pr rairies Of Nebraska. A slave pen 10
opened in Nebrsska. only $50 miles west
Of Keokuk. where human beings are
bought and sold a. though they were
beasts Of the field and had not been "cre-
ated in tho i'm ago Of God"
