THE UNION.

We have oftes submitted conclusive proof that the
Wing party is responsible for the formidable character Of
the anti slavery agitation and for the sectional bitterness
and and for the great perls which that aga
ZION has the country The nurtured
the abotonsts into strength and they left no effort I'M

States by arrayng against il the anti slavery feelings Of
the northern people. The southern wings saw those
movements. and approved them by continuing TO CO.
operate with the wings Of the North and by applauding
whenever the wings and abolitonss succeeded in stk
ing down northern democrat who had rendered himself
obnoxious to ianaticsm by adhenng the compromises
Of the constitution, and by maintaining the rights guar
anted to the States by that instrument This course had
been pursued for years. until it at length formally i'm
bodied ia visible and tangible shape by the alliance
which was consummaied at the Philadelphia convention

Offices in the gift OF the American people, and that ticket
was elected by an effective coalition between the slave.
holding wings Of the South and by the wings Of the
North, who claimed the Buffalo platform as their own
property averng that their title was rendered perfect
BY twenty five years exclusive possession.
Since General Tayors election the party in power has
used every exeron to stimulate the slavery feeling
Of the North to add force and bitterness to the present
excitement and 10 keep alive the free soil party, had
kept alive the abolition movement in past times For
awhile the democratic party Frustrated by the result
Of The presidential election and the feelings OF the north
ern democracy were somewhat imbttcred and naturally
imbittered by the vote which poled for Mr. Fillmore
IN the southern States and by the defeat Of General Cass
and non-nterventon, by General Taylor and non-com
mittalsm. But we are happy to know that the demo-
Gratis Of the North are casting away their feelings Of
sentiments that they the dscord and danger which
sosm would nfict upon the country, and that
to their patriotic impulses, they rallyng in full
strength their old ground and in favor Of the ancient
principles Of the democratic party. The noble movement
Of the democracy OF Philadelphia has spread to the North
and Northwest Even now the great body Of the north
ern democrats denounce the Wlmot Provso and abhor
the fell purposes Of soism and prepared to hail
with patriotic joy an adjustment Of our present difficult
ties which shall do justice all sections Of the Union
The Connecticut election has just taken place. and the
two parties assembled in convention to prepare for the
conflict AS we have said in another article in this morn
ngs paper the wing convention declared itself in favor Of
the principle imboded in the Wilmot Provso The dem
ocratic convention rearmed the ancient creed of the
democratic party, and voted down the Wmot Proviso.
and the resolutions relative to slavery passed by the Con-
necticut Legislature, by an overwhelming majority. While
these movements have been taking place in the North
while the democracy Of that section have been making
every exeon put down faction, and rebuke agitation.
and to prevent the organization OF sectional pareshe
wings have been sraining every nerve to infame the
public mind to divert attention from the real cause
of Danger and 10 shield and protect demagogues and fac
tionsts by creating the belief that who have srug
glsd faithfully for n.ntervenon harbored the settled
and deliberate purpose to rend this great Union asunder
This reasonable conduct pursued for the reasonable
purpose Of protecting sectional factionststhe aboli
tonists and free soers-from the odium they justly
merit so that there might be factions in the coun-
try whose support the wing party might gain BY
corrupt coalitions, such that which will for
ever disgrace the Philadelphia Convention. The wings
of the North and abolitioniss, and ree-soers have
many objects in common, and even now the attrac.
ton OF those common objects is producing its legitimate
results convention is about 10 assemble 10 remodel
the Ohio constitution, and the is already COM
menced. The mutual hatred which the wings and Free
sellers in that State bear to the compromises Of the
sttuton is bringing them together, and the wing press
there is advocating union between the two parties The
extract from the Carroll Free Press will tell
the tale palmer than tell it, Surely the southern
wings will not sumber forever, and, dscardng all the
lessons Of the past continue to uphold and support their
btees foesfoes that would drive them beyond the pale
Of the constitution But the cohesive power Of the pub
lie plumber exerts powerful influence over the whig
party and since it has united the southern STAKEHOLDER
and the northern aboliionis presidential election, we
know not what further wonders may effect to be
corded with amazement by the historian
On Saturday last the Hon, Sherlock Andrews and Hon
Reuben Hitchcock nominated by the wings OF Cuya

In Guernsey county, notice that Jonathan Bye, Free
coil whig is announced as "he peoples candidate y and
