The Next ElectiOn-Correspondc between
Granger ard Hunt-Progress of Treason.


We publish in another column, very important
correspondence that has recently taken place be-
tween MI. Francis Granger, one of tn. boilers or
scceders from the Abolition Wing Cow enton in
Syracuse, and Mr.. Washington Hunt, the nominee
Of that body for the Office of Governor of this State
At this particular uncture, this corresponds is
Of more than ordinary interest because it draws
lire of demarcation distinctly and plainly between
the two sections of the wing party, and shows the
positions which they respectively occupy on the
question of slavery and slavery agitation.
In this correspondence, Mr.. Hunt embraces
very wide field in his remarks, and in defining his
position resorts to great deal of fnesse and spe-
cIsl pleading. A vein Of abolition, of the worst
character, pervades his letter from beginning to
end, which sticks Dat papably, Notwithstanding
his labored efforts to conceal it. Heswalows the
Syracuse abolition platform, hopes that New Next

that the South must ask the North to cease their

bill in the form in which it was passed by Con-

and security. II Mr. Hunt publicly avows this

Mr.. Hunt having explained his sentiments on
this subject, and his associate nominees of the

scqriesced with him, it is now left to the conven-
tion OF national wings, which will assemble to-day
in Utica, to say what course they ought to take to
protect the integrity of the wing party of the North
and to prevent it from being converted into an
abolition faction, possessing but one idea, and pro-
Tossing nothing but warfare on the South. If they
wish TO preserve the national characteristics of the
party, they must select new tcket-an entirely
new set of candldates-an adopt new platform, of
a national character. They must nip this treason

is treason to the constitution. The wing abolition
convention at Syracuse, was nothing but a con-
cave Of rators-of plotters agains the republic-of
disoresnizers, bent on producing civil war and
dissolution Of the Union. They have it in their
power TO elevate the party TO which they belong
from the slough of disgrace into which il has been
precipitaied by the abolition wings, and to place it
once more on broad and national basis They
can do by adopting a compreh ensive platform of
principles, selecting national wings their candi-

or candidate for the presidency. After doing SO.
