Who are the Trnitors E

coded. There might luSt d5 easily nave
been twenty-five Wing Members in the
next Congressional Delegation as seventeen,
and our whole State Ticket might have
been chosen. And why were no such results
attained? Simply because too many
Wings varied upon each other rather than
upon their common adversary A part
were unfaithful to the Ticket and the
Cause. Which part!
We believe it is not pretended by any
one that the Wing votes cast against or
withheld from WAsH1NeroN Hunt and
EBENEzER BLAKELY were those of Sew
ard Wings. They, at least, We're heartily
supported from this side of the house. But
somebody cut them badly as the vote Of
this City, of Brooklyn, of Troy, &c. plain
ly demonstrates. This City might have
given Hunt at least Three Thousand ma
lority if all the Wings had tried; Brooklyn
fifteen hundred; Troy at least FIVE hun
dred, and so on. Yet in the three Cities
lust named, Hunt is considerably behind
Seymour Where is the man foolhardy
enough to assert that the votes thus with
held from him were those of supporters of
the Syracuse Platform
sAh that Platform drove away Wings
from his support 1t did, eh THAT is
Just where we wanted to catch you You
Nationals Wanted you had certaineyidence
that Mr. Hunt was a man after your own
heart--that he had approved your resolu-
tions-and so on. You held a State
Convention of your own on purpose
to present him on National grounds
You protested to receive his letter
to Granger with great satisfaction. Then
why did you stab him afterward
He certainly did nothing, said nothing, after
your Utica Endorsement, that could possl-
bly have offended or aIienated you. His
nomination by the Anti-Renters had taken
place some days before. You had all the
facts in your possession when you delibe-
rately presented him as yow candidate
showing the Duer Platform under his pas
sive feet. You publicly pledged him your
united and enthusiastic support. Did you
give it? You know you did not You
know that many of you did not mean to cleo
him when they made a show of nominating
him at Utica. You know that the Wings
who cut him in this city and vicinity were
all National Wings and so throughout
the State. Yates County was put against
him, and the entire Wing ticket. by Ma
tional intriguers whose master-spirit is John
Young; the leading National in Broome
did notvote the State Tcket-ditto in Otse
go-andwhereverthe anti-Seward cry lis po-
tent, there the Wing ticket runs badly. Ma
tionalism has sent five Loco Focos to Con-
gress from Wing Districts, and given Sey-
mour exaggerated majorities in Oswego, St.
Lawrence, &c. We are saved from defeat
not by your exertions, but in spite of your
detection. Even in Ontario, where the
merit of Mr.. Hunts large majority is
claimed for Nationalism, that majority was
swelled by Barnburner and Abolition votes
driven TO us by the Castle Garden display
and its echo at Geneva. 1t was in defiance
of Nationalism and not in its support that
those votes came to us.
But it is said that Mr.. Cornell was cut
by the supporters of the Syracuse Resolu-
tons. That Mr., Cornell lost some Wing
votes through hostility to the Castle Garden
movement is true, bat this was not the fault
of any but the contrivers of that movement.
The supporters of the Syracuse Platform
never planned nor desired any such result.
Some of each party who are hostile to
Slavery voted for Hunt and Church in OPP
position to the Union Ticket utthey did
it unprompted by any Wing organization
or journal
So with Messrs. Schermerhorn and Ha-
ven, candidates for Congress. They ran in
Districts where many Wings are profound
ly hostile to the Texas Boundary bill and
to the Fugitive Slave Law. Both of them
had chosen to plantthemselyeso on the ground
of advocacy of the former measure, while
they were not known to favor the repeal of
the other. Of course, it was impossible to
bring all the Wing voters into their sup
port. But all that could be done was done,
and with fair success. Both are elected,
as is Mr.. Brooks in this city, though many
who voted for him utterly condemned his
fugitive course. They did not pretend to
approve his views, nor to nominate him as
