The Bubble.

The Bubble.
| The movement of the National seeding
Wings of New York has collapsed. The Con
vention called by them Mt Utica met duly, and
l04 delegates out of 1913 attended. The result
was the adoption of the following preamble and
resolutions, confirming the nominations made at
the previous Seward OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
HUNT, the head Of the ticket, having in the in
teryal announced by letter his adhesion to the
Seward platform of essential notifications of
the Fugitive Slave ILL, and opposition to the
further extension Of slavery. The conclusions
Of this body are as tame and ridiculous after
the big words they had used, as the submission
policy of the Washington Union and Richmond
Enquirer, after the heroic threats they made in
behalf of Southern rights.
Alas for our Southern Wing submissionists .
Their Northern allies have not left them so
much rs bubble to preserve the Unioc-of the
National Wing party:
"Ion A. c. Linn, from the Committee on rcso-
lutions, made the following report:
WHEREAS, at convention of the Wings Of
26'h and 9th days Of September last, n COM
mittcc, representing the two sections into which
the party is divided, reported resolutions for the
purpose Of compromise, and uniting and con-
solidating the Wing party, and thereby enable
it to attain the great Obi ects for which it in
stitutcd; and, whereas, n portion OF the dele
gates to the said convention separated themselves
from their fellows, for the purpose Of defeating
conciatory measures, and finally succeeded, by
means Of secret meetings and the exaction Of
pledges, in procuring the adoption of resolutions
coudemnatory of the great interests Of the Wing
party hostile to their established principles, and
dangerous to the Union of the States. And
whereas, in consequence Of such action, the
President ard thirty-eght other seccdcrs Of the
said convention, seeded thereirom, and issued
call for another conventions now, therefore,
We representatives, assembled under the author
ity aforesaid, determined 10 maintain their con-
ncction with the Wing party of the United
States, to support our present National Admin
istraton, and to Stand by the Union and the Con-
stituion, and the laws Of the land but, being
also DESTROYS to act in union with those Of this
State, with whom we have hitherto acted, and
being ready for that purpose to do whatever
may be. done without dishonor, or the abandon
ment Of principles, do hereby declare our will
lingncss to nc cpt, rs Il basis of union, and re-
:
+ promise resolutions rejected by the majority of
r the Syracuse Convention, which resolutions
were in the following words:
, llere followed the resolutions OF the minority
at Syracuse, which have already been published
in the Herald
ResolrcA That we approve the acts passed by
Congress for the admission Of California into
the Union, the establishment Of the boundary
Of Texas, and the organization Of territorial
governments in New Mexico and Utah And
that while those acts, in all their parts ere not as
we could have wished, yet regarding them as
constituting great scheme for the Termination
of national controversies, the restoration of har-
mony to our national councils and the Ercserva-
ton Of the Union, we will stand by and main
tain them and that there can be no union of
the Wing party Of New York upon the basis of
disturbance Of the settlement thereby made.
ReS0lred That while rs Whigs, and especially
rs New York Wings, we regard the elevation Of
Our fellow citizen, Willard Fillmore, to the office
of President, with unmnged pride and pleasure
we recognize in him claims to our admiration
and gratitude higher than party, and wider than
the limits Of Il single State 1t has been his for.
tune to save his country from great and immi-
nent danger-he has his reward in the conscious
ness OF rectitude, and the appreciation Of the
wise and good: the calumnies Of the base arc
but the price Of those who win for themselves
|imperishable fame.
ResoIrcd, That we heartily approve the choice
made by the President of his constitutional ad-
viscrs, in all Of whom We recognize citizens
eminent for their talent and virtue, distinguished
for their public services, and worthy, as men and
| Wings, of our entire confidence.
ReSolreL That we heartily approve Of the
course pursued by those members of the SYRIA
cuSc Convention who withdrew from that body,
and we give our full assent to the reasons as.
signed by them for such withdrawal in their ad-
dress to the Wings Of the State.
ReSolrcd, That us having confidence in the IN
tegrity, ability, and sound Wing principles of
the gentlemen placed in nomination by the Syr-
acuse Convention, and those gentlemen not
being pledged expressly or implicitly to the sup
port of the principles declared by that Conven-
ton, and believing from the public declaration
Of some and the known opinions of others that
the course pursued by the majority of that body
does not meet with approval, we hereby recon-
mend to the general support of the Wings of
this State for Governor, Washington Hunt !;
Lieutenant Governor, George J. Cornell; Canal
Commissioner, EbeneZer Blakclv State Prison
Inspector, Abncr Baker; Clerk Court Appeals
Vessel s. Smith; and we pledge to the candi-
dates thus nominated, our entire and hearty sup
port.
Mr. Ducr then being called for, spoke at some
length, with great power and effect and was in
terrupted repeatedly with cheers. He approved
of the letter of Washington IIunt--that gentle
: man had declared himself National Wing, and
the author of our platform. lIehad avowcd his
= resolution never to desert the party of CLAY,
Crittcnden, Mnngun, and Bell.
The resolutions were then unanimously
r adopted.

t Journal seems to have grudge at what he con-
