Wing majority in The Legislature, Of course places tho
choice Of Senator at the disposal Of that party and the
question is, who shall be the man All the Wing pa
pers which have spoken the subject far we have
noticed. have, with single exception fixed upon the
present incumbent the Hon NATHANIEL +. TALLMADGE,
the proper person and for ourselves, we most cor
daily concur in the selection Who does not know the
unceasng abuse which has been hesped upon that gen

sstance which he has made 10 its leading measures, and
the powerful division from its ranks which he has occa
stoned For more than year past he has been looked
upon by the government party 0! its most dan
gerous oppcnenIs.--snd not without reason. He was
Of the principal agents in producing the political
voution which took place in this State year ago, and
which has now been so goriousy confirmed. There is
man, probably, to whom the Wing party owe
OF their in this State, than to him and
although he asks fee for his services and desires
none, yet II mnst be very gratifying, think, to the
Wing party, TO be able TO make him ample amends

hIla,ion of Van Burensm in this State, is source OF
heartfelt congratualion. This consummation-so long
and ardenty sought and deyoutly hoped for-glad-
dens the heart and rercshes the spirit Of patriotism.
There are aso in addition this great general triumph,

From The Troy N. Y Morning Mail
SENATOR TALLMADGE.
When we see the length to which party discipline has
driven other who the associates OF Mr..
Talmadge, ought we not to admire the fortitude and
Independence Of this gentleman Who when he became
convinced that the measures pursued by the adnlnsra
ton calculated to bring embarrassment upon the
country and jeopardy to its Institutions, with all the ter
OF secession before him. Indignantly cast OIL the
shackles Of party, and placed himself IN the imminent
deadly breach shield the Interests OF the people from
destruction ..r ... ...- ....
Has he not since that first hour Of freedom and pa
trlotc DEVOTION been found Of the most foremost
and Jealous his exertlons to arrest the march oil exc
cutve hment and bring back the people to be-
coming exhibition of their " sober and efficient second
Thoughts! Without the aid which his influence has
exered, can say that the Empire state would now
have been free
We soemnly enter protest against that lliberal
spirit which seeks TO confne and narrow down the poll
teal platform which stand by establishing exclu
and particular tcnes tests TO which mems faith
shall be subjected before they receive office no.
nor the hands of the people BY this sin our adver
sares have fallen-et the example prove wholesome
warning to ourselves. ." ...
In the appointments which may dcvolve upon the
Legislature this winter, hope to see our friends
guided bv the prospect Of the future rather than by I'M
profitable "reminiscences gathered from the past 1t is
that party distinctions which separated honest
from each other, were done away. "Iime changes
and change with Unpopular opinion in this coun-
try is undergoing constant mutations. Experience
brings wisdom all--new interests, questions
are continually sprngng up, involving the prosperity Of
the country and the desires and designs of the people
If the Wing party destined control the dcsnles
Of this country for years 10 come it can only be by
adapting itself the progressive and liberal spirit OF the
age-by regarding what is TO be, rather than what has
been done .'.
Already 900 Tho Albany A~ss. crafty

HONOR TO WHOM HONOR is DUE
From The Seneca Falls (N. W Courier.
"Ths State has emphatically been the battle
victory belongs therefore, 10 the whole nation. Let
not forget, however, in the fullness of joy,
the tribute due TO the stern integrity and patriotism
of the noble band of Conservatives, with n. p Tall
madge and John G. Clarke at their head, who dared
TO love Rome better than Caesar
There is moral Sublimity in the attitude and
course of the individuals above named which COM
mands admiration.
"True, ii may be said, they did only their duty
but when remember that they stood high in favor
with the dominant party, with fair claim to the
highest honorS in its power to bestow--that the
party stood proudly triumphant every foe, gain
ing additional strength from every attack upon it,
and more especially The political torture and death,
was the nvariable doom pronounced upon every
man who questioned or resisted the mandates of that
party doom which no person mourning that SEN
fence had ever yet been able TO escape successful
~ to oppose-how few there who would have
had the moral courage TO perform that duty. we
would not at this moment exchange the proud emo
tons of Joy and con cious rectitude that must swell
the boSonS of those individuals for all the honorS,
and Spendors, and pleasures that surrounded the
fortunes of Mr.. Van Buren,. There is worm with
in, which honors and splendors neither quiet nor
satisfy.
