THE NATIONAL WING PARTY.

gave birth TO two great parties which had been long
embryo but brought into active existence in
opposition to each other One held that The consultation
in the words OF Patrick Henry, had awful squirting to-
wards monarchy and direct tendency to consolidation
the other though in favor of its adoption in It's
form still thought it deficient in the elements essential to
the permanency Of the confederation conceding the
individual States too great portion of sovereignty
In this division of parties each became Ia q great
measure national The federasts of the South united
with those of the North and did the democrats of both
sections There then nothing prevent such union
No questions tending important practical results had
yet presented themselves be acted upon by Congress
oving sectional interests tending separate the federal
lists Of The North from those of the South and they could
cooperate with each other in most without any
rees on the part Of either Agreeing they did, in
many abstract principles, the application Of which
great scale had not yet been attempted il natural
enough that they should together whenever these
interests left undistuhed though in truth there has
always existed radical difference in certain great fnnda-
mental principles between the iedersts Of The North aud
those Of the South This distinction became apparent the
moment the doctrines to which we have adverted were
sought to be mbodied in legislative hearing injurious
~ section and exclusively beneficial the other
With exceptions, the southern iederlis have
VOTED against protective tariff, internal Improvements
by the general government donations of the public lands
for special purposes not warranted either by the letter
spirit Of the constitution and many other leading prnci-
Piles in the policy Of The wings of The North while in
tiers having bearing sectional interests they contin-
ued together and constitute what be termed
party But they did and can, constitute
great national organization cemented by great common
principles and interests and all attempts make it So
most especially during the ascendency of abolition among
the wings Of the Norhmust eventually prove ahortive

may patch up temporary nationality by Ignoring the most
vital principles of the constitution preparatory an cleo

this takes place. the wings Of the South were they
well inclined win not dare to become instruments
in carrying out measures for their own destruction
Has there since their coalition with the abolitionsis
been any platform adopted declaration Of principles
made public BY the northern wings to which an honest
southern whg give his sanction much less become an

No doubt these real pretended dupcs assured in

strengthen their waning weakness, have made common
cause with the aboions in their crusade against The
southern States and the Union yet they do not 40 the
