1hr Wig Party ami the Approaching
Election
Very -oon after the passage OF the territorial bills
in de Senate of the United States, VIM. H.
Sewsr., the abolition whig Senator of this State,
gave aotce OF his Intention 10 revive the slavery
agitation, which created so much III feeling be-
rTeva the NORTH and the South, and brought
ibe republic tc the verge Of dissolution. This
ns'Sement IS Characteristic Of that demagogue, and
:. lust what might have been expected from him
There seems 20 be evident intention on the part
~ that iaceon, 10 do all in their power produce
another eN.trment, for We Stewards move
nent followed up in the House of Representatives,
vn Monday last, by Mr.. Stevens, abolition whig
member from Pennsy ivCnia. That gentleman, on
hat d4y, gave notice Of his intention 10 move for
Tepeal o. the Fugitive Slave bill, and Of so much
ef the acts giving territorial governments to Utah
and View Mexico, recognize slavery therein,
and pledges the nation 10 admit new slave States
into the nion. Here then we see decided indici-
lions Of general and concerted movement by the
abolition wings in both houses of Congress- TO pre-
epitate the country into another slavery agitation
The great mass Of the whig party in this State
are beginning 10 zee the necessity which exists for
forming broad end national platform, il they de-
sire To succeed IN the election which will take
place in this STATE in the month Of November next,
or IN maintaining power in Washington They
cannot but perceive that they will have terrible
opposition 10 meet the united ranks OF the de-
moeracy, and that they must unite their forces as
the democrats have done, and adopt platform
similar Go theirs suffer an ignominous defeat
when the feb, comes on The fact is, they can.
not hut re aware, that unless they adopt tactics of
inis hind and abolish everything in the shape of
Sewardistn- end sec,ionalism in their ranks, the
.lec'ion will 20 by default and that they must not
only repud.sts him and the clique Of socialists
tached TO the party, but construct a platform that
will be satisfactory to the whole party, South as
well ssEoFth, and rebuke, in proper manner, the
attempts receatly made by VIM. II. Seward, in the
Senate, &c Washington, 10 revive the agitation of
the slavery question.
The whig journals IN this region seem likewise
to he aware G; the difficulties that a; the present
tne surround the party. The Courier and En-
.,.,,sr said, yesterday, that Notwithstanding the
recent union Of NE democratic ranks, the wings
can succeed. Il saysi--
They hnve osiy 30 exercise mutual confidence and
fobsrancc TO avoid all needless and irritating issues
maintain druiy and unnnchibgiy their old aud Oft
proclaimed position upon all the great questions that
divide the country. 90 present men known, honored
and trusted by The whole State candidates for its
huuors snt then 70 come uP TO the contest with
courageous c3d dstsrmined energy TO secure 70 the
sttt and tho Union the fruits u glorious and bene
tesnt victory.
This will aot do ,.he whig party must 90 fur
thsr than this IL they wsh 10 have even a chance
or success in creating national party. What is
meant by maintaining % firmly aud uRhinchingy,
thsir old and o.tproclAuned position upon all the
great Questions thet diyde tie couhtyr Mr..
