9th inst , in an article alluding to the Wings,
says:


Your Log CaJiasthe Fanes of DRUNK
E.N.NESS aud DEB.4UCHERY Y, have been
forSdkeR, and noe0 stand as the mensentoes of
your political idokat1y''!


This comes with peculiarly bad odour from
one claiming for his editorials &smildness and
respect," and is truly, a beautiful commenta-
ry upon the text. We have no disposition to
handy epithets with the editor of the Union,
but decent respect to the party of which we
have the honor to belong, demands from us
passing notice of this contemplate paragraph.
If }. f. Summers intends to iRsinuate that
the log cabins erected by the Wings, for the
purpose OF holding their political meetings in,
were made the ''fanes of drunkenness and de-
bauchery, we pronounce him as wifully mis-
representing facts and culpa5c of falsehood.
Who, Sir, were the advocates of log cabinsa
The honest, sober and Industrious citizens of
our country, of all classes. The farmer and
mechanic, the merchant and professional man,
alike resorted to the log cabins for the purpose
Of communing together upon the affairs of this

the mal-administration of its officers. And
these are the men wht m the editor of the I'm
ion would denominate by the odious epithet
of debauched drunkards. Two-thirds of the
citizens of this Dnion-a large proportion of
the voters of Mississippi, and a majority of
the freemen in Holmes county, are included in
this sweeping allegation. Why were log cab
ms made the uncil chambers of the Whigs1
Simply because they were more cheaply and
easily constructed, & being emblenaticalo the
economy pursued 10y the Wings of 10 and
that to be pursued under the administration
of Gen. Harrison, in Al. Wings of Holmes
county, does it follow that because you choose
to hold your Political meetings in cabins, that
you are drunkards? and yet this is the virtual
declaration of the editor of the Union! "Oh!
shame where is thy blush!"


His illusions to '.striped- balls, ''negroes,"
s.cider- barrels, , ''striped coons,' &C.,
as being ;he emblems of our s'poitical faith.
we shall pass by with silent contempt, leaving
the people to Judge of them and their author
as they please.
