10 be gur, e and promoted in the higher tranch
OF the national Legislature, by the faithful repre-
sentation therein OF the great cardinal phi lcpes Of
the wing part7.
The old WING enthusiasm has not been so high
these many days" So speaks the Albany EGening
Journal "Whig enthusiasm" runs high at the
election Of the boldest and most INSCRIPTIONS
enemy of the South and the Constitution ever
sent to Congress.
Z Can the wings of Tennessee partakc of this en-
thusiasm? viii they longer hold fellowship with
men who shout themselves hoarse over the cleo
ton of an Arch Traitor2 We cannot believe it.
The doctrine of the Higher Lalo" has been en-
dorsed by they wings Of New York. Where were
the know-nothings? Months ago we were told
they had the balance Of power, and that SEWARD 5
defeat was certain They did and do hold this
power, and yet SEWARD gets a majority of eight
over all Others. They rOted for him and now we
are told that there has been treason in the "coun-
ellis" Well, we expect that is so, and that it will
be So again. Fellow-ctizens, day after day do we
show you that northern know-nothingism is but
the basest aboltionsm fimsily disguised. We
ask you to pause before you bind yourselves by
solemn vows to fraternise and cooperate with
such men. They are your enemies; the enemies
of the Constitution and the Union.
Three public men of note, among host Of
smaller fry, have shamelessly avowed that they
recognised law higher than the Constitution. They
are all now in high Office. Who are they2 VIII
LIAM H. SEWARD elected to the Senate by the aid
of know-nothing votes; HENRY WILSON elected
to the Senate by the know-nothngs Of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature, and LYMAN TRUMBULL,
elected to the Senate by the know nothing party.
This whole American movement, falsely SO called,
is but an abolition trick. The cannon Numbered
when WILSON was elected but the echo had hard
" died away before he boldly threw off the mask
and avowed his true sentiments.
