Old Line Wings.

How strange must it seem to consisten,
old line wings, who have been abused,
vilified and libelled all Their lives by dem
ocratic journals, now to hear them turn
around and commence sckly "honey.
fugling" towards them. Flattery, syco.
phancy and toadyism of all kinds is dis
played towards them to getther support.

words:

OF the Constitution which conveys the right or
the power to carry slaves from one of the States
& the Union to any Territory OF the United
states. Nor, sio, can | admit for q single mo-

upon the part OF States or Individual m ambers
OF the state, or any portion of the people of the
United States, to carry slaves into Territories,
under the idea that those Territories sre held in
common between the several States"
