The Oswego Whigs
The Signal of Liberty suggests thnt the ierms " Young " Whigs and "Hunker" Whigs are quite as appropriate to the Whigs as the Democrafs. We concur with the opinión, andcerfïinly tnke pleasure in watching the deelopmenl of " Young Whiggery." The Oswego whigs talk now as we have not been accustomed to hear them, and seem to have revised their creed in its essential principies. They say: " Resolved, That the time has pnssed away to hesitate or temporise on the subject of slavery. That we oppose h henceforlh, without compromise and without disguise; and condemning the fanaticism and intolerance of the various sects of Abolitionists, avoiding all harsh and uncharitable denunciaiion, abiding by the ConstÃtutÃon, and clinging Ão the Union, we yet avow ourselves in the largest meaning of the words, Emaxcipatfontsts; and that we are Ãn favor of the fmmedÃate exercise of the whole constitutional powers of the government toabolish, weaken and restrict slavory, wherever it exists, and particularly in the District of Columbia, where we feel its eontinuance to be a National disgrace." We hope the Whigs in Oswego have " counted the cost " and will stand up to the emancipntion doctrines thus set forlh. If they do so, they must lose, not only the commonion of the Hunker Whigs of the Utica Gazette and Courier & Enquirer school, but of the slaveholding whigs South, and above all, the " Embodiment " of Hunker Whiggery, Henry Clay! II they have made up their minds to that, they wil! no Jonger curse the Liberty party for refusine to vote for Henry Clay
