firm and decided ground, rs the delegates ought
to have done, in opposition to renewal Of the
dangerous re-agitation of the slavery question,
and against VIM. III. Seward, and all his asso-
ciate demagogues who favored il, and who, to
subserve their own purposes, have renewed the
onslaught upon the South and upon the Consti-
tuition, they contented themselves with passing
a few milk-and-water resolutions, re-nominating
the candidates selected by the Abolition Wing
Convention at Syracuse, and then, like whipped
spancls falling into the ranks of their opponents,
and toadying to the very party whom they broke
OIL from on the ground OF principle.
Such course OF conduct is discreditable, and
dlsgraceful in the extreme, and cannot fail to
produce disaster, not only to the Wing party OF
the North, but eventually, perhaps, to the Union
itself What will the Southern Wings say to
this result There is but one course left for
them to pursue; and in the event of the success
of the candidates put forward under such circum-
stances, they will, we have no doubt, disclaim
all connexion with the Northern Abolition Wing
party, which, for the purpose of gratifying the
ambition of few pale-faced demagogucs, would
sacrifice their national characteristics and engage
in warfare against Southern institutions and
the peace and welfare of Southern society as
now organized,
In the Southern States the announcement will,
without doubt, increase and add to the excite
ment which already exists there and give strength
and force to the party-already very numerous
that has been organized on the express ground
OF SECESSION in consequence of the crusade
which the Abolitionists of the North have con-
Quoted against their interests and against their
happiness and social prosperity. Heretofore
that crusade has been confined to the ranks Of
the Garrison fanatics but now we see the great
wing party of the State Of New York, deliber-
ately and designedly, by resolution, and by FORM
ing an abolition platform, cast off its national
characteristics, and identify itself with men who
profess but one idea, and that one hostile to tho
South and enlist under the banners Of dema-
gogues and dsorganizers who would not care if
this glorious Union were shivered to pieces pro-
vided their unholy ambition and purposes are
gratifed. Of such character are Seward,
Weed, Greeley, & Co., who are the most dan
gerous men in the community, and whose con-
Eection with any party would ruin and destroy
it. The we'll disposed and national portion Of
the Wing party had hoped that patriotism and
sound sense would have trumphed-that the
nationality of the Wig party Of New York
would have been preserved-and that new set
ofcandidates, and new and comprehensive plat
form, would have been put forward by the Utica
Convention. But they have been disappointed;
and the foul flag of abolitionism and socialism
has been unfurled to the breeze, and the Wings
of this city and State vited to enroll them
selves under ito recommends the onslaught
on Southern institutions as guaranteed by the
Constitution, and to wage war Of destruction
against the commercial interests and prosperity
OF the North, and especially New York.
1t is in vain to argue that such is not the d-
rect aim and tendency of the movement COM
mcnccd ut Syracuse and consummated ut Utica.
Notwithstanding all of Mr.. Washington Hunts
md tho n, II ia
lutions passed by the Utica Convention, aboli-
ton of the worst and most diabolical character
is now the distinctive characteristic Of the Wing
party of New York, and their aim and object Il
renewal of the slavery agitation, and u reopen
ing of the wounds of the republic, so recently
healed. We saw this result long since, and
pointed it out in the cearest manner possible in
our columns. We warned the Wing party
against being ruled by such demagogues as Sc
ward, Weed and Greeley, and we predicted that
if they tolerated such men, they would eventu-.
ally ruin and break down the party. Our pre-
dictions were UNDECIDED but now they are veri-
fed Step by step those demagogues, like IL
serpent entwined themselves around the Wing
party, ard in short time they will administer
the coup de gracr, if, indeed, they have not done
so already The Wings have no one to blame
but themselves While the enemies in their
ranks were stabbing their organization to the
heart, they were sunk in apathy, and lost to the
danger that threatened them.
According to the present condition of public
feeling in the North, and the numerous unions
and alliances which the abolition Wings have
formed with the socialists, anti-renters, and
other dsorganizers, there is good reason to fear
that the abolition ticket headed by Washington
Hunt will be- successful at the election which
will take place in this State next month We

under which it was put forw ard,
and without taking into consideration the I'M
portant principle that will be in issue in the con-
test. If such should be the case, and the aboi-
ton Wings Of New York should triumph, we
may expect the commencement of an excitement,
and contest between the North and the South,
Of more violent and dreadful character than
any that e. er preceded it. The South will sec
ut cnce that it has nothing to hope from the
North, and they will retaiate in the most effect
i've manner possible AS it is, organizations
against Northern commercial interests have been
entered into in the South This, however, will
be but the beginning of the end. BY Northern
hostility and fanaticism the South have been
driven into manufacturing their staple product
on an extensive scale, and continuance of it
will force them to build their own ships, and
carry on direct commerce with Europe and the
awakened, and they will avail themselves of the
natural advantages which nature
has provided them WITH and which are amply
sufficient to render the Southern States totally
of the North. In such case what
will become OF the North-what will become Of
Northern manufactures, Northern commerce, and
Northern prosperity of every kind! Are our
people ready to sacrifice all-our interests, our
our commercial vitaty-to crafty
such ambitious demagogues rs Seward, Weed,
Greeley & Co.! What then, is to be done!

IMPERFECT EDucATIoN.-Leigh Hunt, in his
fascinating autobiography, states that he never
got through the multiplication table when boy,
and does not know it yet, though he is now SO
years of age, and one of the most delightful au-
thors in Christcndom. Hunt also states another
remarkable fact, which is, that the early educa-
fion of the cplpbrated West President of the
