The Tribune Cbnexiing.

| The New York Tribune, rrint consis-
tent always in its vndictve hostility to the
Southland which pressed the passage of the
| . Compromise" measures as the best for the
| North--devotes a column and a half TO all as
saut on the seceders, headed s. Mr. Duers Dis
! tressn
Like one speaking with full knowledge of
facts, the writer of that editorial significantly
says
The attempts of the Boilers to lug Mr. Clay,
Mr.. Fillmore, &c, into this quarrel are in
wretched taste and unsustiined by truth. Mr..
Fillmore never recommended, Mr.. Clay never
proposed nor voted for, the ram's-horn Boun-
dairy Of Texas which has been established We
kao,o that Mr. Clay was, and are confident Tint
Mr.. Fillmore must have been. decidedly adverse
TO any such Boundary Possibly the latter may
have consented to it, under the apprehension of
an imminent and deadly civil war but that he
ever heartily approved of carrying Texas up to
| $500 and paying her Ten Millions beside, we
do not believe. 1t is utterly unlike the man
and his views, as we have known them up to
1850. If he consented to this Boundary, il was
as Burgoyne consented to the adjustment at
Saratoga.

into the controversy is wrong--nay, il is against
the spirit of the Constitution We know no
/ Wing disposed TO censure the President for his
official action in the premises, and the entire
| Convention expressed confidence in his Admin
| istiation with hearty unanimity. But to drag
before the public his alleged personal opinions
or wishes and make conformity to them test
If party orthodoxy, is every way mischieyous
and unwarrantabe.
| The majority of the Convention certainly had
no design to censure the President, nor those
| Wings in Congress who voted for the Texas
| Boundary BILL On the contrary, they expressed
the fullest confidence in tho principles and con-
duet of the former, and in the upright intentions
of the latter 1t is by the minority that the
issue is made that persistent devotion to Free
soil is Incompatible with approval of the Presi-
dents course. We repudiate any such anita
gonism.
| Every one in Washington knows that the
editor of that print had set his heart on the final
passage of those measures, and that he drumlned
up great many recruits from his faction
through his advocacy Of them-but whether
be speaks Shy the card" in his reference to the
views of Mr. Clay and Mr.. FILLMORE, is open
! to doubt.
| On another column of the same paper we find
the following note of triumph If the facts are
/ MS stated and no change be wrought by the inter-
position of the higher powers, Messrs. DUER &,
Co will indeed be isolated hopelessly from the
main body of the Whg party in the State, and
the star of SEWARD pale the lesser fires of the
opposition:
THE HEART OF NEW YoRK.-There are at
least One Hundred and Twenty five Wing
Journals in our State, of which we think at least
One Hundred and Fifteen have accepted the
| Wing State Ticket with cordial, enthusiastic
appreciation. The other ten may seem to hesi-
tate, but no one of them has indicated purpose
to oppose the Ticket. A mandate was tele-
graphed westward from Albany on Saturday to
| the Wing journals not to run up the flag for
! the present: but we see no responses as yet.
On the contrary, the Rochester American, which
would naturally be among the first to obey, flies
the ticket at its head and evinces warm interest
in lis election Possibly the Buffalo CONNER
ciul may obey the signal; but we think not.
Boiting is a two-handed game, and can be played
| against other than State Tickets-But the wise
course is not to play it, nor have it played at all.
