THE BARNBURNERs, MADNESS.

We see no reason why the Wings should re
ioice, as they do, at tho Utica nomination, for,
regarding IL III mere party aspec, we are un-
der the impression that it may benefit the De-
mocra,ic moro than the Wing party. The
Northern Wings are to man strongly imbued
with anti slavery, and we are satisfied that any
"free soi' movement will abstract many more
from tie Wings than the Democrats. This New
York movement, coupled with that in Ohio and
he Convention in Massachusetts this week, is,
in our view, more calculated TO inure the
Wings than their opponents. The Democratic
party, the party Of the Union, will stand firm.
But We especially regret the movement, in
view of its mischieYous effects upon the integ.
rity of the Union. 1t may spread over The
North, wipe out party divisions, and unite the
North against the South on entirely sectional
grounds, and in that event endanger the pace
and safety Of the Union. For these reasons, oil
patriots should abhor and denounce such trea-
sona5le plo,tings and reckless factions. Such
view will BIO taken By cool mon Of all parties
In thu South, and the North should pause before
it takes another step toward, the brink Of dis
