az weakness, imbecility and timidity never saw
or heard of. Instead of taking strong, firm and
decided ground. as the delegates ought TO have
done, in opposition to a renewal of the dangerous
re- agitation Of the slavery question, and against
VIM II Seward, and all his associate demagogues
who favored il, and who, TO subserye their own
purpCses have renewed the onslaught upon the
South and upon the constitution, they contened
themselves with passing few milk-and-water
resolutions, re-nomiDating the candidates selected
by the Abolition Wing Convention at Syracuse,
and then, like whipped spanies, falling into the
ranks Of their opponents, and oadyine TO the very
party when they broke off from on the ground of
principle.
Such a course of conduct Is discredtable, and
dispraceful in the extreme, and cannot fail to
produce disaster, cot only to the wing party of the
North but eventually, perhaps to the Union itself.
What Will the Southern whgs say to this result
There is but one course left for them to pursue
and in the event OF the success of the candidates
put forward under such circumstances, they viii,
we have no doubt, disclsim all connexion with
The Northern abolition whie party, which, for the
purpose OF gratifying the ambition of few pale
faced dsmagogues, would sacrifice their national
characteristics, and engage in warfare against
Southern institutions and the peace and welfare of
Sou!hom society as now orgouized.

periiy Heretofore that crusade has been confined
TO the ranks of the Garrison fanatics; but now we
see the grea; wing party of the State OF New York,
Selihs liey and designedly, by resolution, and by
forming an abolition platform, cast off its national
characteristics, ard identify itself with men who
profess but one idea, and that hostile TO the
South, and enlist under the banners of demagogues
and disorganizers who would not care If this glo-
rious Union were shivered to pieces provided their
unholy ambition and purposes are gratiied. OF
such a character are Seward, Weed, Greeley ~

munity, and whose connection with any party
would ruin and destroy it. The we'll disposed aud
