New NoRk. The Locofoco Convention
holden nj Syracuse to nominate candidate
for 1t. Governor N.t Gardiner having been e.
lcctcd judge Comptroller, &c, was an up
roarous afiar-contuung four days aud adj
forming at , o'clock Sunday morning. The
contest was between the old liunkers and
the Barnburncrs-th latter the friends ot'thc
late Gov. Wright and the former the pOrticu-
lar friends ofMr Polk The Pokites tri-
umphcd in every thing, and to conclude re-
iected the Wilmot rroviso, which by the
way, the Albany Argus, old bunker, calls
the "UiiIn0t Domiio."
So the locofocos Of Massachusetts and
New York in State Convention formally re-
pudiatc the Wi!mot Proviso.
The Barnburners do not relish their defeat
very wel--but they have lost their leader
Gov. Wright-and the Polk officials arc too
much for them.
P.S The Wings ofN. York met in State
Convention at Syracuse in the room where
the locos met the week before, and after
making their nominations, adopting an adj
dress, &c. passed the following resolution:
Mr. II. Greedy, from the Committee, sub
mitted the following resolution:
Resolved, That while the Wing Frecmen
ofNcw York, represented in this Convention
will faithfully adhere to all the compromises
of tho Constitution, and jealousy maintain all
The reserved rights of the States, they de-
carc-sincc the crisis has arrived when the
question must be NEITHER unconpromising
hostility to the Extension ofSIavery into any
territory now free which may be hereafter
acquired by any action ofthe Government of
our Union.
The above is the resolution, with only the
necessary changes ofphraseoIogy, which was
submitted to the Loco-Foco State Convcn-
ton and there shuffled upon the table by the
IIunkers, who did not dare to permit direct
vote upon it. The Wings, finding it OH the
table, took it up and passed it withouta dis
senting voice.
Here is seen the difference between the
Wings and the locofocos upon the question
of extending slavery.
