THE Ma ss WING CoNyENTIoN-IT

From the Boston Post
THE MASSACHUSETTS WING CoNvENTIoN-ITs
DOCTRINES AND DoINGS-ON ABoLITIoNIsM.
In the process now going on in New England of
the formation of new compound in the wing par
ty, on the basis OF antEsavery, we have the Gar
risons in England, who are agating disunion there;
the Garrisons at home, who are doing the same
thing here, and the liberty party whose leaders will
go with the wings, unless the wings will follow
them, but whose rank and file the wings hope to get
at the polls by resolving strongly slavery, and
denouncing the south, not however, going quite far
enough to disgust their brother wings of the south,
without whose aid they cannot hope to elect Pres
Ident or repeal the tariff .,
Both sections of the whrs agree in the purpose of
merging the anti-slavery party their organization,
but they differ as to the terms and conditions of the
alliance. Mr.. Charles Sumner who has been in
England, and is in unison in sentiment with the alb
oionIss there as directly as is Mr.. Garrison, re-
his position with his talented associates in the
wing ranks, and as leader in the convention pro-
poses direct union with the abolitionists. He and
Mr. Stephen 9. Phillips and their coad jntors would
merge the wing party in anti-slavery at once. With
them every supposed political evil has it's origin in
the slave power and these form the connecting link
between the organized abotonists and the wings
proper, . ..
The true issue which presents itself to every lover
Of the Union and the constitution ia, how far the
leaders of the wing party proper going in order
to secure the cooperation Of the ant-savery party
in the support Of wing candidates and the repeal Of
the tariff?
To test this we must look at the two sets of resolu-
tons which were presented to the wing convention
in Faneuil Hall Those offered by MIR. Phillips,
one Of the vice presidents, and supported with great
zeal by Messrs. Charles Sumner, Charles +. Adams,
Samuel Hoar, Charles Allen, and Henry Wilson,
Embodied the real views Of the nti-sIavery party,
and embraced the terms which alone that parry
will co operate with the wings in the repeal of the
tariff. Their doctrine s abolition the principal and
the tariff the incident. In the language of Mr. Sum-
ner, "the watchword OF the wing party should be
not merely the repeal of the tariff but the repeal of
slavery, watchword more Christian and potent. Il
was the sacred duty OF the wings (he said) to ex-
press openly and solemny against the institution Of
slaVery-not only against it's extension but it's fur
ther continuance under the constitution and laws of
the United States. Emancipation should be the car.
dnal point, the stone of the new edlfce the
new platform upon which new glory was to be rear
ca. IL was not sufficient only to pass resolutions.
Men must be chosen who will heartily carry out this
purposes men not afraid Of being called abolitioniss;
men strenuous and unAinchng advocates Of the re-
peal of slavery
Ihis was sufficiently explicit, and in a whia con-
ventlon OF the whole State Of Massachusetts these
doctrines, which mean disunion and only disunion,
JAILED OF success only by majority of forty-seven
votes Had they failed on direct issue voting them
down, Il would have indicated a sonnd condition on
thus point IN majority Of the wing leaders; but they
iaied only by substitute Of form Of resolutions
