W Under the head Of" Incompetent

paragraph in our paper few DAYS AGO
IN winch we used the following language
"Ihe Wing is for obtaining our rights

majority in the North.'
Upon the above simple declaration,
the Democrat makes the following CON-
ment:

would "relinqaish" any of our rights o(M
numerical majority in the North" is a
question to which our humble reason can
afford no reply. We moreover give if as
our solemn belief that the editor of the
Wing cannot explain it himself.
Our friend must have been in very
solemn" mood indeed, to have exnress-
ed such belief-in fact, his "solemnitv"
must have taken him out of the reach of
a political idea. We simply wish to put
a plain case to the Democrat. and leave
it to be the judge. Suppose the South
were to dissolve the Union because Kan.
