Old Friends viii, New Rnces.

We had some excellent Wing friends who
went to Buffalo in August, 1848, and helped
John Van Buren, and S. P Chase construct
the Buffalo Platform, and very good one
it was, 80 we said at the time and shall al
ways maintain. 1t did not in all things
accord precisely with our views, but we
have never seen moro important truth com,
bined with less essential falsehood in any
Platform pYefessedly National; and, while
we did not agree with our friends as to She
best way Of promoting the great ends to
which we as they were devoted, we said then
and now reussert that we honored all who
believing that no other course was con-
sistent with fidelity to the principles there
proclaimed took their stand explicitly on
the Buffalo Platform. We have seen many
dismount from it to take post on one great
deal worse,
Among the Principles set forth by the
Buffalo Convention, we find the following;
The Governments must return TO the policy of
1887. when it was the fixed determination Of the
nation TO limit, localize snd discourage Slavery
1t the duty of the Government TO relieve itself
from oil res possibility for the exasence or contnu-
ance of Slavery, wherever that Government has
Copstitpsionsl power to legialate on the subjecf,
and ia consequently responslbe for its existence
No more eisve States no Slave Territory
The only aa g means of preventing the extension
OF Slavery into Territory now free ID TO proholt Hs
existence in al such Territory by an ACT OF Con-
g1css
made il must be repealed
The free grant to actual settlore In consideration
of the expenses Incurred in making settlements IN
the Wilderness, which ale usually fully equai 20
their actual cost, OF reaaonao,e poft'on oi tue
public lands, under suitable limitations, is Wlte
and lust measure which will prlNote, In various
Ways the interests of all the States in the Union.
These principles, the reader will see, are
not for day, but for all time They were
adopted and proclaimed, with rare unanim-
ity and immense enthusiasm, by q number
Of our City friends among others We trust
they were proclaimed in ell honesty, and
not in spirit of feud CT faction. Can it
BE- tn en, that ace see The names Of some
among The re,y men ,obo framed and adopted
these RcSolres published as poting in or
W1ig general Committees to ceaSlre Our ne
cent State C0areation and oua 1Fbi9 Se0a-
tor as depotees Of Ssetionalism and Radical
ISM What are we to think of Political
Professions, if the men who, two years ago,
seeded from the Wing party of our State
as not sufficiently Anl-Slavery and Radi-
cal, are now, having come back to it, en-
gagged in fomenting new bolt on the as
sumption that it is toe Anti Slavery? We
stand ready to prove against all gainsayozs
that the Wing Party and State Convention
of 1850 stand on precisely the same identi-
cal ground respecting Slavery as did the
Wing Party and Convention Of lS4S. How
can it be, then, that the same men who
bolted through the North window in As
should be getting out at the South in 1850?
Surely, some spell has been cast over them,
or else their names have been surrepti-
tiously set down as voting Yea on the Haws
Resolutions. Are the Secretaries sure that
John W. Latson and Nicholas Carroll voted
as their names stand recorded?
