 CHARLES ALLEN.
 The rights of the free States, to which even our pay some respeci, are Hampted upon in the Whig Sa'ionaI convention by every southern foot or the many distinguished statesmen from the free States. not of southern origin, who have upheld the whi- cagse in success and in disaster, lot has b,ea foghh wsrtay to receive a single 'ols south Of Masoa sni Dixon slime. It Is. there fore evident that the terms of union between the . .t.- N3r .k. gE Feual sure ndes by the forneT oi the bigh offices sa4 po.ess of the government 10 iheir southern confejerat-s. To these terms think. sir the free s'ltes aipl longer submit And declare to this cosvtBii1n my belief that the whig party of inc eoantry is here. and this day, dissolved. We have struggled 10 preserve it long t could be done with honor. Yet, under the good providence of God. II may result welt for the country, and for the Strengthening eanse of humanity throughout the world, that the clements should separate. The ap- Piianees,by The use of which 1t is supposed tbat sufficient number of the votsrs of the free States T De retained 10 preserve to tAe south is ascen- 1sncy. Hill lose their wonted efficacy. You have ''ea presumed that the Stale which led on the first lssOIution ios liberty wi now desert that eanse for ae miserable boon of the vice presidency Sir. Massachusetts will spara the bribe.
 This IS the language and tone of a man who has made ID his mind, and who knows well where he , 'tand., what he is saying, and how he will be sas- tuned Nor, 10 so sPeaking, did Mir. Allen reckon ! wlihou, his host. He had not reached his home in Worcester, before the whigs of Boston at once, on ,he receipt of the nomination, had published call lor convention at Worcester, in opposition to Ayior, reiteraiing in their call, in st stronger .srns, all the positions that Mr. Allen had taken. m. same step has been taken smong the whigs of Maiae' In itself. that Is of little moInent-Maine oe'ng sure for Cass a, any rate; but shows the move rent of the tids.
 In New York the whigs are almost. if not quite. i 's badly of. There they have tried hard 10 make l 'on'e show Of fenthasasm for Taylor, and they have med 'n vain. While Tsmmany Hall was crowded 10 fs utmost, night after night to respond to the eonoeraiIe nominations-while immense rsti6ca- ] aoa meetings were being held in the Park fer the l Nms purpose, the whigs friendly 10 Taylor got to- SsI:r In La Fays'ie Hall 10 receive ;he,r nomina- hSas. li.c rebel Clay whigs, mos' anjasti6ably as We tAink went l., everPowering numbers, drowned ,as shouts for Taylor In louder scclamaiions for Gay, aud broks up the mseiing!
