timents, General Wilson or the Boston Beef
Is it not due TO candor, due to the South, for
whose institutions the Organ expresses great
admiration, that the remarks Of General vii.
son and not the remarks Of the Bee, should be
published in its columns? The Organ stulti-
fies the new Senator. II refuses TO be guided
by his expressions and chooses those Of the
Boston Bee.
We are mortified to find that paper pro-
tossing so much attachment to the Constitution,
TO the rights of the States, and to the institu-
tons of the Southern States should withhold
from its readers, the real and tie expressed senti-
ments of a prominent member Of its order. 1t
is poor compliment to the Organ'S new Sem
ator, to treat him anidiot, pass over his speech
and take the Boston Bee as his mouth piece. 1t
is unjust to the South. 1t is unjust to its read
ers unjust to itself. Among other things Mr..
Burlingame says in his lecture;
" If asked to state specifically what he would
do, he would answer lsi, repeal the Nebraska
bill; I'd, repeal the fugitive slave law Sd, abol
ish slavery in the District of Columbia 4th,
abolish the interstate slave trade; next he
would declare that slavery should not spread
to one inch Of the territory of the Union he
would then put the government actually and
perpetually on the side of freedom, by which
he sa,aanf ihat hrisht.ayAd boy Of Massachu-
setts should have as good chance for promotion
in the navy as boy of one of the first families
in Virginia"
At the conclusion of this harangue, Hon.
Henry Wilson, the newly elected Know-nothing
United States Senator, was vociferously called
for. He responded as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen.
This is not the time nor the place for me to
utter word. You have listened to the elo-
quence Of my young friend, and here tonight
endorse erery sentiment he has uttered. In
public or IN pirate life, IN majorities or IN mi
ao,ities, at home or abroad, intend to lire and
10 die NTH anrelenting hostility to slaceyy on
my Ups. Imake no compromises anyuhere, at
home or abroad; shall yield nothing Of my
dnti-slacery sentiments to adrance my own
personal interests, to adcance party interest,
or to meet the demands of any State or section
on all occasions, these principles to compre-
hend in my affections the whole country and
the people of the whole country: and when /
say the whole country, want everybody to un-
derstand that include in that term Massachu-
sets and the North. This is not the time for
me to detain you. You have called on me
most unexpectedly, to say word, and having
done so, will retire, thanking you for the
honor of this OCCASION
Such is the man that the Organ and the
Boston Bee, would palm off upon the South as
"a strict const,uctionist," and of whom the
Organ SAYS, The South Men hare nothing TO
tea, from the election Of General Wiison
lfknow.nothingism is TO be propagated by such
means, Know-nothingism is dead. The Organ
promised to condemn abolitionism. Is this its
condemnation? Itpromised to condemn north.
ern know-nothngism. if it should ally itself
with abolitionism. Is this its condemnation?
Il said repeatedly, that the Know.nothings had
agreed TO sink the question of slavery. Is this
what it calls sinking it? Where are all its fair
PROMISES
