In the year 1872, the Wings of this State held Con-
| vention 20 nominale State officers, and Mr. James
Brooks was member of that Convention and as ssch
Wa, appointed of the Committee on platform ana
the pripcipes Of the Wings Of this State, and the
principles Of the Whiss Of this emporiun-an Address
which was adopted unsi inrously, and from which l
ssd OS as Tsw in thu the as Of our or
country is, with It's stars and stripes the
er blem of our nationality, there our hearts
art but woe, woe to the men, we cry, who have dis,
patched its mission OF conquest or, what YET
worse, the conversion of Free into Savehoding terri
tory. We protest. too, IL the names OF the Rights OF
Nan and Of Liberty AGAINST the further Extension OF
| Slavery in North America. The curse which our
Mother County inflicted upon u.s. 10 spite OF 1nr IA
piled to The virgin soil of the Norlh Pacific aud so on,
| ,no go on. Such the doctrines Of the Wings OF
Lincoln took his seat in Congress, as get forth BY Mr.
James Brooks, and unanimously ratified by our Wing
State Convention. Now, gentlemen, defy any man

ot bic e went an inch urIhef in this drrcon, which
L. called sectional than Mr.. James Brooks does in that
manif. sto He lsd down the doctrine there of the
Wing party; and Mr. Abraham Lincoln came into
Congress directly after this and challenge any man

and tel wherein MIR. Lincoln offers at ali il, uDlOs
il is in being more Conservative than Mr. Brooke.

vote by vote and proposition by proposition and defy
any AN 10 show wherein Abraham Lincoln went one
step advance, in What is miscalled sectional direc
ton Of Washington Hunt or in advance OF what we
the uudeIstooa 10 be Wing doctrines with regard to
Slavery in the Territories. There was one case
wherein they differed that was somewhat Important
difereDce and MIR. Lincoln was on the conservative
side of the question; and Dir Hunt, with me and
oil ers was on the side of what they now SITE Matte a.
