The Winchester appeal. [volume] (Winchester, Tenn.) 1856-1856, 1856-03-22

for editorial duties has been Otherwise
employed, but we hope we have am
ply supplied with the scissors what was
due from the PEN
~ The Louisville Courier advises
the old line wings to join with the
democrats TO dcicatth Americans and
after that is done they can rcorsanize
into a party to oppose democracy
That is rich" Just help us to whip
Sam, and then we will whip you.-
Such impudence we never before have
witnessed, and we see the democratic
papers arc full Of such stuff. We won
der ifthesc old foges are green enough
to be seduccd by such soft solder. 1t
may be, but we do not yet think so, ---
1t is true that great many tender
footed wings, who arc tired OF opposl-
ton, may be induced to embrace the
present opportunity as a prcteXt to
change to what they think is the stron-
ger side. Let such go, But let them
not forget that "Blrgaip, Intrigue and
Corruption" are the cpithets that are
to be applied to them soon as their ser
vices can be dispensed with. We
would ask the old line wings, what
are their political principles! 10 be
a Whig we understand means to advo-
cate and support wing measures. Do
YOU wish to revive protective tariff;
~ national bank7 Do you desire to
distribute the proceeds of the public
lands among the States, upon the old
principIc', fyou do, say so. Are you
opposed to the vctopowcr, and in favor
for the ono term principle! If you do
YOU will never succccdby joining the
democrats. They say these arc fedc-
raj measures and favorable to British
interests, and denounce you also as
aboltionsts. What will they say
A high tariff TO protect abolition man
uiactorics! That, they will say, is
counting northern favor. The one
term principle will throw Mr.. Pierce
out of the Cincinnati Convention
That will not suit great many. 1t is
impossible to harmonic with the dem
ocrats. Then disregard their polite
invitations. 1t reminds us Of the song:
Come into my parlor
SAID tho spider 10 the fly" &c,
and contains about as much sincerity.
We do not rccollcct Presidential
canvass during which the chief oppO-
S!tion to the wings was not the charge
of abolitionism. You have always
had to fight the charge as the Amcrl-
cans now do. We care not what par
ty opposes the democrats, in the South
this charge will be thrown at it. We
have heard nothing lately ofthc wing
trick so much talked of last year. 1t
is a bad policy, as it reflects on mum
Der whom the democrats now wish to
conciliatc into their friendship for ci-
feet. Federalism was also an odious
name, but since Mr.. Buchanan's claims
arc to be considered soon, that too has
become tritc and out of date. We
think u man must be blind indeed who
cannot parceivc the maneuvcring OF
party tactics in this late change fpol-
icy.
Everything is respectable now but

Donelson has dwindlcd into insigniti-
canoe since he iavors this code of prin-
ciplcs lie was once representa-
tive Of the United States at foreign
courts; the able editor olthc Washing
ton Union, and advocate of true rrpub-
licanism; but because he happens to
think foreign influence has become TOO
troublesome, he loses all his greatness
