The usual quantum of resolutions, and addresses
to the people, were read and adopted.
simultaneously with the sitting of the Convention,
the Wings held what in the phraseology of the day,
is called "Mass Meeting" at which addresses
were made by number Of the itinerant orators Of
the party. The greatest enthusiasm is said to have
prev allied, and the Wings confident of carrying
the State by majority Of from twelve to eighteen
thousand. We are inclined to believe that Old Tip
will getthe vote Of the State Of New York. The lead
in, Wing politicians at Albany, and in the country
generally, are admirable mana ,ers-cool, sagacioss,
discriminating, not troubled with scrspulousness
about means, thoroughly aware Of the game which
their opponents intend to play, they not to be

this city, a set OF supercilous asses, who would
ruin the best organized party under Heaven in one
campaign, If they permitted to have their own
way But the country leaders repress their aspira-
tons TO such extent that the effects of their sell
fshness and folly is principally confined to this city,
and the most they can do is to suffer the democrats
to gan few hundred votes upon them here This
loss, be 1t great or small, will not, apprehend
change the result in the State. The actual Whig
majority last Fall was much larger than the returns
indicated. According to the returns, the majority
only 1925; but il must be borne in mind, that in
the Eighth Senatorial District, embracing what
used TO be called the infected district" where the
Wing majority is immense, there contest last
fall and The result furnishes data on which to es
innate the condition of parties The real why
majority then was between eight and nine thousand.
This we conceive to be about the condition now.
We discard all the humbug stories Of changes and
conversions both sides. The changes are few and
far between, in this State. That they have occurred
in great numbers at the west is be denied but
1t is not the here. And uni the new element
Of abolItionism shall enter into the Presidential
election, Mr. Van Buren, will lose the State by at
least 5000 votes.
Ifs impossible, at this juncture TO predict, with
any degree Of confidence, what the effect Of the
abolition nominations will be. All the msvements
Of this class have hitherto been made with view
rather to intimidation than will any serious idea Of
running distinct ticket. Garrit Smith, their can
didate for Governor, aNan Buren, man, and would
be likely In draw of votes from the democ ra-
| tic candidate. IL seems probable, however, iadg-
ing from the previous course of the abclitionsts
that their candidates will withdraw Just before the
election, IN order TO prevent an exposure of the
weakness OF the party in point of numbers. IT this
is not done, the vote will show them utterly
contemplate in that respect for the party in
stincts OF most Of the abotionists will predominant
over their devotion TO an impracticabIe abstract
idea or principle, and when the time comes, most
Of thsm will vote in accordance with their original
political attachments, without reference 10 any other
considerations.
