New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1850-09-30

Seward in our Legislatures and State Con.
yentions has been about two to one.
Some three weeks before the assem-
bling Of this years Wing State Convention,
we were waited on by a friend justly high
in the confidence of what is termed the
more Conservative section of the party, who
asked Us to use our influence with the
Seward men, for the sake of harmony, to
prevent the Offering Of any resolution ap-
proving SIS course at the approaching Con-
yention. 1t WAS the first intimation we had
that the subject had excited any attention.
We replied that the suggestion was new to
US, and We would reflect upon it. But
how we asked, can this be arranged =?
Must not resolutions be passed approving
the Administration Of President Fillmore?
-'Of course - Well, then, since both
were heartily commended at the last State
Convention, will not express approval ofthe
President and utter silence with regard to
the Senator amount TO censure on the latter
Will it not be case of what the lawyers
call the negative pregnant?'--our friend
responded in substance that any attempt to
commend Gov. Stewards course would be
sure to create difficulty and discord in the
Convention, and he had therefore been
asked to make this suggestion. We prom
ised to turn ii over, and he departed.
- About the same time, The Republic,
issued from the National Metropolis and
popularity understood TO bear q semi, official
character, came out with two or three VIC
lent attacks on Gov Seward, wherein the
newly restored Editor, nor content with re-
iterating his own well known opinions of
our Wing Senator's opinions and conduct,
undertook to pronounce also the judgment
of the Wings of New-York thereupon. The
following is specimen Of bis oracular
adumbrations: He is scoring Gov. S. for
proposing the abolition of Slavery in the
District of Columbia
1--WE desire that the wings Of Ne~.York
should not be misunderstood or mtsrepresented
They have no more authorized or encouraged this
mischievous movement than have the WING lead
erg In the Senate OF the United States. Ii Is no
part OF their creed that tha agitation of Slavery ls
to be kept up forever, for party purposes or any
other purposes The WINGS Of New'York are
national and conservative" &c. &c.
This was wild ely circulated and commend
ed to especial notice by the Loco-Foco jour
nails of our State, including of course The
Satanic Press, which has divided its atten-
ton for some time between Indignantly de-
flaming Gov. Seward and his prominent
friends and instruoting the Wing party OF
our State as to the course to be pursued by
it in order to perpetuate its ascendancy and
ensure the triumph of its principles The
burthen Of the song throughout has been
that the Wing party must ALLURE and de-
nounce Sewardifm,' seotionalism,' Pro
visoism,' fanaticsrn,' &c. and las plumply
set forth in its leader of Thur. day last on
THE Syracuse Conyention') they were ad-
vised that
"In the Convention which commences is sittngs
to-day, it will be OF the highest Importance 10 the
Wbig party to repudiase and diaayow, in deter
mined and appropriate manner, the course pursued
by VIM a. seward, during the present session
of Cor gress on the Slavery question.
The Whss have an excellent opportunity at
this Conve nticD, to form grand national platform
or programme Of principles and meaaures, for the
guidance of that party throughout the Onton.2
The principles commended to the Wings
By this virtuous counselor commenced as
follows
"Non-iate, pention on the subject of Slavery in
ang Of the new territories or in the cid States &C.
&c
We might fill columns with like extracts
from the same and kindred sources, uttered
through the fortnight preceding the assem-
bling of the Convention, but these will suf-
fee. The famous hundred guns fired from
the Battery by order of the Wing Executive
Committee in honor of the passage of the
Boundary, California and Territorial bills,
may have meant more or less in the minds
of those who voted for that misapplication
of powder, but the indications afforded at
our Wing Primary Meetings on the 18th
inst. could not be mistaken. Down with
Seward &c. were the vociferous war-cries
thepolls ofall the sharply contested Wards,
and the way the custom-house officers made
themselves conspicuous therein will not
soon be forgotten. TWAS the cry Of Down
with Seward and this class of its vocifer-
aters which carried some Wards after fash
ion, while others had been quietly arranged
beforehand in tacit accordance Herewith,
1t was perfectly understood on all hands
that majority of our Delegation went to
Syracuse to put down Sewardism,' and
that ne action would be acceptable to them
which did not virtually accomplish this end.
