| Of the way, We who desire TO avoid broken
heads Ye "noble Wings -ye "patriotic
Wings !"-ye gallant Whigs!" ye national
WhigsW-ye Wings who under these compli,
mentary phrases have been lately invited and
expected to mount and to stand upon the
Cincinnati platform, by the sham Democratic
presses, now read your doom! Oh, We "reck-
less demagogues oh, ye political adventu-
rers"-oh, ye "excited stump orators" oh,
We "men of eminence to limited extent
oh, We libellers" up whilst, er cattle.
dya, We are forever excluded from the sham
Democratic church
Oh We heretics! how dared we to adopt that
7th resolution. How dared we to pronounce
the sham Democratic party " sectional?" Oh
We violators of "facts and historyl" Blood
and thunder! Fire and birthstone Now hear
your sentence, pronounced by the Great No
gul Of sham Democracy, and sent in legible
characters to the four corners of the world,
through that immaculate press, the Washing
ton Unionl Your sentence of denunciation
reads
"We can readily imagine that reckless dena-
goga4e, or political adventurer, or some eRcited
stump orator, might hazard the bald declaration
that the Democratic party was sectional. But
that the grave deliberations Of convention, rep
resenting party in several IF the States Of the
Union, and composed, to a limited eGteat, of men
who had some eninenco, could prepare and pub
Hsh to the country so paipaJle 0iolatiom of fact
and history, and libel upon a great party, so
easy Of REPUTATION and exposure, to sabssrve their
oscR party purposes, as TO shoe disregard of those
high moral considerations that should ',eyer be
lost sight of in the defence Of any cause, ho,cever
dignifed or desperate. These gentlemen say that
Mr.. Fillmore possesses the one transcendant
merit of being the representative of neither of the
tho sectional parties now struggling for political
supremacy The truth Of the charge, as far az
it applies to the Black Republicans, we admit
