The Utica CoEventIon-vhstN VIII It Do!
A large and influential portion Of the dele
gates 20 the late Abolition Wing Convention,
m Syracuse, having very properly boted or se-
ssded-haviag come out from among The aboli-
tonists, and called another convention, 10 be held
at Utica on The Eth Of this month-the question is
sskcd, on all sides, what will the Utica Conven-
iion dol They hol.sd, not because certain mea
were nominated, but because mighty principle,
involving treason 10 the Union and TO the consitu-
iion, was involved in the resolutions which that
sorvfnlion Iass6d.thty seeded because the course
Of that convention leads directly to abolition, trea-
sen, rcbtlioH, secession, civil war; and intermina-
Bile bloodshed. That portion of the delegates, see.
ing the awful results which the proceedings of the
Syracuse Convention led, seeded and rccommend-
cd the holding CT another convention; and the
proceedings OF their convention, not in refe-
renee alone 10 the whig party, but the conse-
qusnees to the Union aud to The republic that may
grow out OF them, are Of the greatest Importance
The question, therefore, on all sides, is, what
x.r,U 81. l..
Pslis there is but opinion as 10 what they ought
TO do, ameng the intelligent wings themselves, or
the people generally 1t is agreed on all hands
that they were perfectly right in taking the course
which they did, and that they ought to be sus-
aimed by the people of this State, and the whole
sounuy-oherwise dissolution Of the Union may
be expected within a few years 1t seems, how
ever, that efforts being made, on personal and
technical grounds, by some Of the whig presse,
here, to prevent any thing being done by the Utica
Convention-to induce them simply to pass a few
vague, imbecile resolutions, and then adopt the
nominations recently put forth by the Abolition
Syracuse Convt ntion.
New, the national wings having taken such
bold and praiseworlhy step as they have taken
ought not 10 pursue such racillating and absurd
as that. II would not produce any good
effect could they, ~ 30 doing prevent the in
crease Of aboiuonism. Every effort, however, {,
being made by certain tpsthetic whig journals, to
prevent the Utica Convention from taking any dis
tinct and positive ground ths, may stay ths torrent
Of SboAuonisrn; but, IN the cynion Of every sensi
ble man, il i TeTfecty futile for tha, convention
10 meet 81 al, II !; do not tske such ground a.
will bring home TO the people Of this State the
great prinople al issue between the two sections Of
the whig party, and which, If not decided upon at
once, will become dividing line between the
Northern end southern sections of the rrpub.
lie, Glo. Union or dissolution Is the real
question at issue in this Syracuse division
ard secession; and the dissnionists seem de-
ternined 10 force on the conflict Accordingly
we see TIE TriJEHS Of this city, which, ever since
hs birth, has been the organ Of desrucves Of every
kind, endeayoripg TO pick mp and enroll among the
ranks Of the Seward disuIonisis all the free soil
voters In the State. II publishes "reminiscences OF
The Buffalo platform, and is endeavoring TO per-
sudde that portion Of the demo >racy who recently
united with their old associates on the Baltimore
platform, to secede and support them. Again,
ether journals ere endeavoring TO anticipate the
nauoral administration, and especially Mr.. Fill
more and his friends, from presenting any objec.
tions 20 the Seward abolition nominations, or from
getting up any counter ticket, IN order not TO give
time or opportunity TO the people OF this State to
think and reflect on the pending crisis. All these
tricks Of political gamblers aud blacklegs are the
tactics rssor,d to 10y the abotonisss and socialists
10 prevent the conservative wings who are about TO
hold convention at Utica from taking proper
high and distinct ground, that would preeerve the
State and the country, and stay the torrcn; Of sbo
huon
We trust, however, that the good sense Of the
community will zee through all these technical.
tes, and all this caoey the part Of the misera-
bic political gambler, and that the sane good
sense viii prevail in the Utica convention, to such
asegree as TO produce national nominations and
platform of correct national principles.
