Harmonious syhiggery.

The Wing party IN New ! OTk are Splt IN tWaln
One division headed by William II. Seward and the
other by Willard Fillmore. The first open demon
stration in the recent Wing Convention at Svra
cuse Candidates were nominated satisfactory to all
parties and had they adjourned, like the Philadel-
phia Slaughter-house Convention, without any decla
ration of principles, all would have went we'll But
the friends Of Seward must endorse his Senatorial
poIicy-Higher Law, Abolition doctrines and all.
This could not be done without implied attack
on the policy Of President Fillmore. Butthe friends
of Seward were unyielding, and having the control
of the Convention, passed the following resolution
Resolred That our thanks are especially due to the
Hon. WILLIAM III. SEWARD for the signal ability and
fidelity with which he has sustained in the United States
Senate those beloved principles OF public policy so long
cherished by the Wings of the Empire State expressed
in State and County Conventions well as IN the votes
and instructions of State Legislature Those prn
cples are emnently National and Republican because
they are just and equitable
Francis Granger, late Postmaster General, was in
the chair as the presiding officer. He Immediately
resigned, and withdrew from the Convention, fol-
lowed by about forty Delegates, all Fillmore men.
In the lead of the dissensionsts is the Hon. William
Duer, of Otsego, gentleman of talents and untirng
energy The address to the Fillmore Wings of New
York is from his able pen. The New York State
Register, the Fillmore organ at Albany, says
OF the late Convention which assembled Syracuse
be permitted say few words, not of passion
crmlnatlOn but OF sober truth, and more IN sorrow
than in anger We shall much into the details oil
its history, for those set forth ably than we
could do IT, IN the Address prepared by the committee
appointed for that purpose, majority OF that Conven-
tOn undoubtedly assembled imbued with spirit of
cilation and harmony and it only by stringent ap
pliances and discipline that spirit of dscord and anat
cism was infused into them, and the most disastrous re-
suits produced There has been for some time past,
disposition manifested IN certain quarters 10 lind fault
with and embarrass the present Wing Administration
OF the general government the instances OF which 1t Is
not now necessary TO enumerate, and we ioreSaw and
gave early warning of the difficulties and dangers which
the State Convention would have encounter. We
gave early notice that any attempt to convert the Wing
party into sectional abolition party, revive the
agitation of the veNed distracfin questions which
had been so happily settled would be resisted to the
last extremity. Upon these subjects it is well known
that a radical difference of opinion has existed among
Wings for some time past, and any attempt In Con-
venton force the doctrines of portion of them
upon another could not but prove disastrous These
matters about which there be federation and
orbearance there could be no
" that federation and orbearance, side, did not
exist:
OF the action of the delegates who seeded entire
y approve. Had they done otherwise, they would have
been political outcasts fit only be despised-they
would have despised themselves Their marks
in the political history OF this State and OF this
nation, and is the dawning of brighter day The dele
gates who seeded the true representatives of
Wing party - the NATIONAL WINGS Of this State.
Those who remained, constitute sectional politi-
cal abolition party-yvth the poor despised member of
the United States Senate from this State-WIlllam ii.
Seward, for their leader. They never succeed IN
this Stare, and if they could must always be miserable
minority and powerless in the nation. Were it other
wise, they must be dangerous party, for to say
nothing of their antes all the outlandish ties and
sms of the day, Seward the agtator and aboitonst,
with all his higher law hereses only their leader,
but the embodiment and exponent OF their prin
cipes; and abolition and renewed agitation of the ques
tons which had well nigh destroyed the Union their
creed.
The principles of their resolves Notwithstanding their
professions the contrary strike directly the Const-
tuition and the Union. Ii those who think with them
should become majority, the Union and all our
glorious institutions inevitably be destroyed. We
embark in such mad crusade. We love the Uni
on, and love the who have helped to and who
sustain it-Clay, Webster and Fillmore. We cannot,
will separate ourselves from them and their sup
porters. They are National Wings, Union Wings true
Wings, the iustous leaders of the National Wing par
y, and true opponents of its principles We admire
that Spartan band who, at Syracuse woGd not have
oath of allegiance another leader, who morally men,
tally and politically, is wide the poles apart from
great leaders, crammed down their Threats by nso-
lent and tyrannca majority We honor them for relus-
ing that he the embodiment of their principles
They of tho same stamp the who threw the
tea overheard in Boston harbor, and the who
signed the Declaration of Independence and their
SWIM survive perish, we are with them. They are
men, not dastards ornament to their State, and
! bright example to their countrymen.
The friends of Seward are attempting to gloss over
this division f'sma matter,'' &c tempest in a
teapot 'smuch ado about nothing,'' &C.; but all
this will not do; we look for complete revolution
in New York politics. 1t is important event in
the political history of the times, and will produce
effect disastrous TO the Wings did the ''Hun
kerr and "Barnburner" split in lS4S on the Demo
Gratis. division headed by such men Frank
Granger, William Duer, John Young, and the whole
Wing patronage of the General Government, is nc
petty affair. We rejoice that President Fillmore
and his friends have placed themselves on high Ma
tional ground, and set their face against Seward
Weed, and their miserable abolition followers
Seward is doomed man. A killing frost has nip
ped all his blooming prospects. His political sun
will set in darkness and gloom, and his name only
be remembered by-word aud reproach among
the patriots of the land.
Singular Proceedings.
