party, or however important may DO their in
huence in their own baiiwicks or Jurisdictions.
There is some point in the fable 10 which GOLD
SMITH alludes in number of tho Citi-en Of the
Wortd, and the moral of it is especially appi-
cable to political parties "a serpent which is
: furnished with one head and many tailsis much
more capable of subsistence and expedition than
another which is furnished with but one tail
and many heads" We care not how many
tails the Wing party may have but we ap-
prehend that they can have but one head, if
they desire to flourish as party.
We hope, therefore, that our WING friends
will not be misled, in any quarter, by the
movements that have been made in Congress
for the renewed agitation of the slavery ques-
ton. However much particular sect may be
gratified by such attempts, we have abundant
evidence that they are not sympathised with
or encouraged by the WING members. Only
two WHIGs in the Senate were found to sus-
tain the proposition for the abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia; and we apprehend
that the demonstration upon the Territories pro-
posed by Mr.. STEVENS in the House Of Repre-
sentaiives will meet with no larger share Of
encouragement.

Now York Democratic Convention.

The Syracuse convention continued IN SEES
sion three days IL reported ticket In which
the Free-solers and Hunkers are Jointly repre-
scented. Messrs. Rynders and John Van Blu
ren, heretofore belonging to the opposite organ
lzalions, were in high feather. The seat OF
each in the convention was contested. But
each of them succeeded, and participated in the
very turbulent proceedings with great zeal.
The convention was succeeded by a great
ratification meeting, before which Captain
Rynders made speech on private account
He returned his thanks for the honor conferred
upon him by the meeting, and promised to re-
ciprocate its civiities by getting up fight at
the ratification meeting in New York. A fight
was, he said, inevitable. ''He liked to fight
it served to give him an appetite TO whip the
Wings" The Captain entertained his au-
ditors with an account of the Abolition meeting
in New York, which, it appears, he had
whipped and dispersed single handed

operation Of these two worthless; they will
probably each head desperate attack upon the
Wings in November Stimulated by emptiness,
and a ravenous appetite for the spoils, they
will hunt down the quarry, growing at each
other as they devour it, They cannot longer
afford to permit their animosties to defeat their
interests.
In the mean time the Wings Of New York
should be vgilant and harmonious. 1t is said
that the Free-soil faction is to be organized
without regard to party. May not the Demo
up the delusion that this third party can exist,
and yet preserve the most efficient portion of
their strength for the battle with the Wings?
Let not our friends, like Grouchy, be engaged
in force with the Free-soil fragment-the mere
rear-guard of Democracy-when their main
body is marching in force to assal u.s.
