From the Ne,D York Express.

The Wing Party woke up, one morning. and found
the Wing Party of New York rent in twain. No bo-
dy expected any such catastrophe. So the North will
wake up, some morning, and find this Union rent in
twain it, upon the Washington stage hereafter as up-
on the Syracuse STAGE Abolition is to be the order of
the day. Disunion will never come by arranpement
design, or according TO rule; for South and North
both love the Union too well, and every Dsun onist
everywhere, will be overthrown who shows his head
and hand; but bad passions violent excitemens, rash
and ntiamatory action may be so enkndled that the
Union would be uncomfortable both to North and South
and that neither section would look upon rupture as
calamity greater than the existing calamity Of breth-
dwelling together in harmony but eue, plot
ting mischief and disaster the against the olher,
1t svefy certain that the Union cannot stand many
such Congresses as that which has just closed its ten
mouths session in Washington. Indeed it ought not
to stand it. When people cannot dwell together in
harmony, it is time to quits and when the Union is to
be kept together by force, it is about time for it to be
dissolved. This is a set-governmen this OF ours-a
Republic of Republicans; and when the Federal State
Republics of which the Washington Government is the
head find 1t tor their interests, or their safety even
tor their harmony, to part, better to part than live
geher fighting each other. For ten months the most
able orators and writers the people could did select
members of Congress, stood in the Federal Capitol
matchmaking each other. Scenes of blood were at
one time threatened For period, men went armed.
These men, looking South revlled the orth with all
the luminosity Of possible language; and oice uersa
Northern men reviled the South.
The good feeling OF out country has been disturbed
by this vtuperatlon, il not its peace, and safety; and
thern men hate Southern men more. Such vitupe-
ration, such imf1ammatory language from able men
people may stand few years more but some fine
morning, Unexpectedly as from Syracuse, shall
hear, HE UNION RENT IN TWAIN il the Syracuse aud
Buffalo platforms are to be the platforms of the
Wing anG Democratic Parties. There is now only
political bond that binds the South and the North The
religious bond broken Methodist North and Metho-
dist South not of the same religious school. Bap.
fist North and Baptist South are quasi enem les. The
Episcopal Church, now a powerful church in the Re-
public, is alone unbroken, we believe Now says the
Syracuse and Bufiaonans, Tear asunder the politi-
ca bond; give us Northern and Southern sectional,
political church. The greatest question Of the day is
~ SHALL THIS BE DONE! 81
Gov. Seward and his Syracuse friends say yes and
yes at all hazards, toon To carry their yes they ex-
communicate in this State thirteen Wing members of
Congress-such men Frank Granger and William
Duer, such Presidents Willard Fillmore and such
statesmen as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Thomas Cor
win, and all the old guard that for thirty years have
borne the Wing banner They have 3doe RE. .'.sy
on which will jump Kentucky with Vermont, Georgia
with Maine, STAKEHOLDER, aud Garrison, and Gerrt
Smith and Frederick Douglass, too, and that all to-
on rejoicing together They have idea that Gov.
Seward be made President OF the States Northern
States it must be- onlyD such colored PLATFORM
But, if this were only President making, it would be
harmless amusement; but it much more.
To carry their point, Congress must again be blown
up into slavery storm The w mot Provlso must be
put on to Utah and New Mexico. vi the coming three
months session, they would spend some two months
upon the utess agitation for these far off provinces.
Abolition ofsavery the District Of Columbia, where
some 600 slaves are aboishng themselves as fast
possible must be stirred the other month then. Mean
while no other business whatsoever can be done. The
great manufacturing interests OF the country must have
the go-by, till their negro platform is well built up
The 600 negroes in Washington and Georgetown
must engross the time that should be given TO six hun
bred thousand hard listed mechanics that working
at European wages for want ola little Congressional
legislation. The iron master must sleep on his forge
till Cufiee and Sambo are paid for out OF the Federal
Treasury Commerce must be neglected. Rivers and
harbors have place for legislation till the Will
mot is got on, and Washington and Georgetown,
are filled with free negroes starving Human life may
be poured out like water the Lakes for want OF Thar
bors in Michigan or Illinois, Indiana Ohio; the first
duty of Government being Utah and New Mexico, TO
see that no slaves get where nobody will have them
and where a negro cannot be slave and go.
To undo what has been done, and to do nothing else,
is the Syracuse platform The Democratic Party was
sacrificed to negrodom Buffalo; the Wing Party is
to be- if permitted sacrificed for negrOdOm Syracuse
Parties are to be made sectional, the Church has
been made sectional, if madness and tanaticsm can
make them so. Religious sectionalists have made
Northern and Southern churches and the way to
better world suppose, is, according to them, to be
determined by the latitude in which man was bom,-
The last link of the Union is the two great parties that
divide it, or less in all the States. Shall that
link be broken The answer is to be made at Utica,
so far as this State is concerned,
