one p1'tv. ana after ther forces are organized, TO
carry on war Of sggressi on against the social IN
s,iiutions ,fthe Southern States, which are guar
Gptfd by ils constitution In this respect, II bears
mere dangerous IS pect than the agitation which
il was supposed was adjusted by the compromise
bills passed durnS the late session OF Congress
Let Seward, and his faction Of disunioniss succeed
in the State Of New YORK. at the mex election, and
within five years the union OF these States will be
at an end The South will never consent TO re-
main in the cOniederacy, for they viii in such
event, an organized determination 10 assail them,
which will not he satisfied until slavery is abolish
ed in the old States. They are ready and prepared
for such movement, ard what then would be-
come Of the prosperity OF New York; Grass would
grow in our streets-we would lose the CONNER
cha! supremacy which We now eDjey-ouT manu-
features would be destroyed, and this fair republic
would be split into a collection Of hostile and war
ring municipalities, like the States of Germany
There is use in attempting to conceal the truth
IL nthe face, and this question of slavery
which has caused more or less trouble since the
foundation of our government, must now be met
The disgrace Of bringing it TO head was reserved
for the State of New York.
The determined stand taken by the Wing Gene
raj Committee, IN Ibis city, and the adherence
that is entertained, by the conservative and ma
tional portion Of the wing party, of the impudent
attempt by the wing convention at Syracuse, to
engTaf socialism and abolionism, in their worst
forms, on the principles of the party, augur well
for the overthrow of the faction of disorgaaizers
who for years past, have labored ia3ustriously to
convert the party into an instrument for their pri-
vate purposes, and 10 mould il ald WELD i, they
please. Now that the conspirators have shown
their hands and have disclosed their real designs, it
may be an easy matter TO defeat them, and to
cue the party from the cdium and disgrace which
they ate rped 10 fix upon il. This work must be
done, and done thoroughly, il the wings OF New
York do not desire 10 lose their identity, and be
converted into a mere abolition party, with w. H.
Seward, white man, at the head, and Fred
Douglas, black man, at the tail That il has
been contemplated by Seward, Weed, Douglas,
Greeley X Co, TO compass such a measure if they
could, is as clear as the sun at MONDAY.
Blu, this Is not the only object which those
abolition and socialist disunonists have in
view. 1t is very well known that Seward,
Weed Il Co. are bitter and uncompromsing oppo-
nents of Mr.. Fillmore, and that they awaited the
first opportunity to break out into oppos ition
TO his administration We have shown this
on several occasions, by extracts from the organ of
the Seward clique in Albany. Mr.. Fillmore has
always been opposed TO the Vaccinations of the
clique aud, IL is well known favored the settle
ment of the slavery question on the principles of the
Compromise introduced by the Committee of Thir.
teen, and subsequently adopted in separate bills by
both houses of Congress. VIM. III. Seward wished
keep that agitation open, with the hope of reach
'ng the Presidency but the passage of the Com
promise bills stopped him in mid career, and blasted
for time all his hopes in that direction. While
writing with modification, he and his associate
conspirators concocted plan to weaken Mr.. Fill
more's administration in the State Of New York,
by breaking up the party and for tina, purpose they
packed the Syracuse Convention with Seward
delegates, and passed through that body series Of
resolutions approving Of Stewards course, and by
implication, if not directly, repudiating the noble
and patriotic course pursued by Messrs Clay.
Webster and Fillmore. II is for the wings TO de-
eide whether they will endorse Seward or the
present administration in Washington whether
hey will abandon their national organization, ani
become an abolition faction, with the demagogue
Seward their lcsder-whether they will re-
main national party, with national principles, and
oppose a re-cpening Of the dangerous agitation
which took Congress nearly ten months to adjust
in a manner that would be satisfactory to the
whole country-or whether they are in favor Of
continuance Of the union Of these States. Let
them adopt the one course, and the fate which
awaits them and the Union is plain.
The principle at issue between the two sections
OF the wing party in this State, docs not concern
them alone, but is OF vital importance to the public
generally, without respect to party. Every mer.
.ha ant .nI a,t~ L., "a.
community, is more or less Interested in il. 1t
very well known that the doubt and uncertainty
which for months existed in regard to peaceabls
settlement Of the slavery question exercised a
vtry disastrous Influence on the industry of the
country, and ihn the soniiaued sggressons Of
Northern eSoli.ionists struck severe blow to
Eastern manufactures. The South were driven
into manufactures, and entered upon preparations
TO render then ind.penden, Of the North as
much az possible. The result is before us. Manu-
factories OF every kind are spnpging up in the
Southern Siates; and the prosrec, il, that in few
years that branch OF industry will be followed
there 10 greater extent than !, now is 10 the New
England States. The Southern States are driven
into this course ny the aboli,ioni-ts Of the North
What will be the result Of a renewal Of the agits-
tion the interests Of the merchant, the chsnic
and the brakeman Of the North II we force the
South 10 manufacture all the cotton which they
grow, over and above what they export to foreign
countries, what will become of Lowell and the
other manufacturing towns in New England IL
We drive the Southern States into the non.con-
sumption Of anything made. or manufactured, or
produced az the North, or into disunion what will
our mechanics say, and who can tell the injury
it viii inilic; upon them, and on the whole
north Yet thi. IL precisely the tendency Of
the course pursued by Seward, Douglas, Weed a.
Co; aud If those disorganizing sbolitionists and
socialists be not irowned down, the effect OF their
course may be experienced sooner than may be
expected.
There never was time when the Union
was in more danger than IL is ., present. by
