those old Clay Wings who delude them

the spirit of a true Whig-a real Wing

every man who ever answered TO the name

we inform him that Gov. Call not'only did
not take "the extteme method of declaring7
his disagreement to the neO platform "by acitb-
drGS0ing from the COnUention,1 but that be
actually VOTED FOR THE NEW PLATFORM
Here is an extract from Gov Calls letter
upon this point
i was not satisfied with the substitute 1.-THE
new platform) without some further express
sion Of on determination to resist the restor-
alton Of the Missouri Compromise But with
an amendment proposed to the 7th section,
which met my appreciation, in a spirit of
Cancellation, 1 agreed to cote for repeal of the
old and the adoption Of the aeW platform.
The action of the Council on the subject was
nasty and iDconsderate. The substitute scds
adopted under the application of the previous
question, without debate or amendment; stiLl
Uoted for 10 under the hope that something
would yet be done to render it acceptable,
firmly resolved, if disappointed in this hope,
that l would dissolve my connection with the
National Council aud the National Convention.
So soon as the new platform was adopt
ed, the council adjourned 1t met no more.
Neither Gen. CALL, nor any other delegate
from the South, retired upon the adoption
Of the new platform. Gen. CALL attended
the Convention which met the next day, and
it was from this body that be retired, and
to which he subsequently returned, because
the majority of the Convention had proved
themselves 'Sound upon the question most
vital to the South"--because northern mem
bers had been "vindcated" by their actions
in the Convention, from the charge of il
liberality and mkindness to the South
because the North had yielded freely to
all the just acquisitions of the South. "
And the attempt now to use his language
to prove the reverse, is but another speci-
men of perversion, gross and inexcusable.
These facts destroy the foundation of "OH
Clay Whig'% superstructure, and his fanci-
full building topples to the ground, over
whelming the architect in its ruins.
With these remarks we dismiss "Old CLGg
Wing" He was jealous to serve his new
masters-but his was zeal without knowl,
edge. If he served the Wing party with
as little discretion, it has been benefited
by his desertion; and now that. we have
hung him up on the tenter hooks of public
disgrace, there to die, we commend his soul
to the good care of Mother Church, and
his body to the sections of the Democracy.
