THE WING PARTY IN NEW YORK.

I anH
occasioned US, in common with all Southern WINGS
much modification and uneasiness, not merely ior
the success of the party bu! for the future peace and
welfare of the country. That Senator SEWARD had
friends and sympathizers who might produce some
difficulty, was anticipated but that majority Of the
Wing State Convention would endorse his late course
in Congress was an event altogether unlocked for.
After the ticket had heen agreed upon-to which
it seems no objection can be maGe-the resolutions
reported by committee were called up. These re-
solutions, among other things, expressed "conhdence
in the honest purpose and patriotic motives" OF oE-
WARD, and that in all conscience, was gong lar e.
ooupb, But the Seward-ites were not satisfied, and
Mr. CoRswEL1, offered substitute embracing the
following resolutions;
Resolved That our thanks are especially due to the Hon
William H. Seward for the signal ability and fidelity with
which he has sustained in the United STATES Senate, those
beloved principles of public policy long cherished by the
Wings of the Empire State, expressed in State and Coun
y Conventions as well in the votes and Instructions OF
our State Legsature-those principles are emnenly VA
tona and Republican, because they just and equitable
Resolved That the admission of Caorna into the u
MON as State and with free constitution, meets with
our hearty approbaon and territorial government Is
established for New Mexico aud Utah, without any Poho-
tory clause on the assumption that slavery Is excuoeo o
other causes it is the solemn duty of Congress 10 exeno
the Jeesoran ordinance those territories on the st
indication that slavery or involuntary serytude is likely to
be introduced into the territories.
The two sets of resolutions were re-commled 10
the Committee, and after conference they reported
that they could not agree. The vote was then TAX
en- in the Convention and the substitute was adopted,

In the evening the seeding delegates held meet
ing, and appointed committee to prepare an address
TO the National Wings OF New Y ork. This minor
y is really the Wing party OF the State, the firm sup
porters of Mr. FILLMORE and his Cabinet-Ihe 9th
ers are merely branch ofthe great Free-So or Ao-
clifton party, opposing the policy of the Admnlslra-
lion, and with whom in turn, the President desires
no alliance The two wings Of the Democratic par
ty having united, the probability is that The Wings
will be defeated in the ensuing election; but better
defeat, thousand times than success obtained oy
