HE OLD LINE WINGS AND THE ENQIREr.
IL there be an old line Wing in the State,
says the Richmond Wing, vino has ever
entertained the slightest notion of co.operat-
ing with the Democracy in the present cam
paign, and of voting for Buchanan, we think
he will at once abandon that notion aftt r
reading the following extract from an article
in the Enquirer Of Tuesday. Without in
dulging in any comments on this eXtraordi-
nary manifesto, at present, We simply invite
the attention of the old line Wings to the
portions of which we ltalIcisc: and we are
sure that no Wing, not already dog at
heart, can unite with the Democracy in the
coming election:
AS some persons Seem to have mistaken
both the motive and object Of our appeals to
old line Wings, it is proper that we should
acquit ourselves Of the unjust accusations to
which such misconccptlon exposes us. We
i"rite no man Of H'h'g principles 10 join the
Democratic party. Such an overture would
be as insulting to him as unjust to our party.
Il person Nth Wing corrections cannot consist
emily and honestly profess 10 be Of the Demo-
cratic party. 4 person rih IThie convictions
cannot be admitted into tie Democratic organ
ieat,on, rithom 10 some crtcH cOrrupting tie
integrity and dcbatching its principles We
have creed which constitutes test of
Democracy; and which no Wing can honestly
subscribe, because it is absolutely irrccon-
cilable with the principles which he professes.
An advocate of protective tariffs and Of
Federal ACCOMPLISHMENT, cannot consistently
enter an organization based upon the princi-
pies of free trade, strict construction and
State Rights; and if we consent to such an
association, it will not be long before the
Democratic party is destroyed by its allies.
We object to fusion because it is consistent
neither with personal nor political honesty
An alliance between independent political or
CARNATIONS is another and very different
thing. 1t is not only allowable, but on GER
tain emergencies may be essential to the best
interests Of the country. Such an emergency
is the present. which demands, not tusio,
of all parties in the South, but a cooperation
of good men for the sake of the Constitution
and the Union. We ask no Whigt to renounce
his principles, except from an honest con-
viction of Judgment. We inrite no Wing L
come into The Democratic Party, unless h.
choose voluntarily and from conricttoa 10 abjur'
his ancient Jaith, and 10 profess allegiance t
our peculiar pldyorm.'

FACT FOR THE Old WHIGs.-It is fact
which can never pass out of the recollection
of the admirers of Henry Clay, says the st.
Louis Intclligcncer, that James Buchanan
was the author of the atrocious charge Of
..bargain and corruption" made against
Henry Clay and John Quincy Adams in
1925. Never was there uttered baser,
more malignant, or more u;.:ouudcd SANDER
aud it is safe to predict that the remnant OF
that glorious party who idolzcd the gallant
CLAY. will hesitate long, and reflect well be-
fore they bestOw their votes OH man who
