Another tho't arises when HARRISON
was nominated by the "parrio,ic Wings"
the Democratic outcry was, "Too bad-too
bad! Clay was just your man. He

man-if you had taken him up, we would
have gone for him, and elected him, but
Old Tip can't run" Well. at the newt
Presidential contest, CLAY was selected as
our standard bearer and never was a man
so villfed-never Sc falsrfied and wrong, d
out of an electou-as was Henry Clay, by
the very men who professed friendship for
him, and who now weep hypocritical tears
over his grave In 1913, the leaders of
the Democracy declared that TAYLOR was
next to Washington and Jackson only, and
nominated him for the Presidency but no
sooner was "chivalric old Zlck" taken up
by ''the noble Whig party also, than the
"unchaugabe" Democracy did their best
to defeat him. "O," said they, "Taylor
is no civilian: if you had selected Lundy's
Lane, we would have supported HIM. =
But SCofr uas our next candidate and
where was the Democratic love for the
Hero Pac lficator-the Warrior Statesman
the country's pride and glcry-the
choice of ''the pure Wing party" "Ah"
SAID the twisty Democrats, "Scott Is a
fussy old granny-eats soup-there is
your Washiugton-like FILLMORE: let him
come up, and Democrats will GO for him
by thousands" Aud now that Fillmore
is in the field, see how he is treated by
his old Democratic endorsers ....... Really,
such chameleon-hued Democracy is hard
to suit nothing short of Polk, q
Pierce. a Doug'ass, or some other great
unknown selected by two.thirds toss-up,
could prevent them from supporting Clay,
a Scott. a Fillmore, or some other "noble
champion of the heightened Wing par
ty ALAS that their honor aud justice
should always be either prospective or pos
thumous that their high regard and love
of Wings should SO much resemble the
affection the anaconda has for its prey
first to besmear it with its soft saliva, and
then devour it :!
And so, the "noble, patriotic Wings"
who do not approve the American party
principles, are "invired to participate in
Democratic Conventions, and recognized
as fellow laborers in the great cause OF
human rights" This last is certainly a
good cause but, as those named by the
Enion are all slave holders, and joined the
Democracy because they deemed it the sa-
fest party for Slavery-and as those who
rendered the invitation were also slave
holders, it means, simply, SLAVERY. In
other words, at the South, the common
interest of Slavery produces a " fusion" Of
some Wings with Democrats uDd"r the
banner of the latter, as most safe for that
supreme institution and when Wings
thus desert old friends and cherished prin-
ciples and rush to the embrace of lifelong
opponents-for the sake of Slavery
they are ipstantaueously transferred from
"Tory Wings" into " brother laborers in
the great cause of human rights !'-Well,
let them go-where one arlstocratic Wing
Shareholder strikes hands with the Slave.
