pose as they may, they made the issue
they drew the line-they fred the first gun

resolution which our folks adopted and
passed. concerning the supreme law, Was
intended as a fling at Gov. Seward, and
meant nothing else. Had their series been
passed, as presented by Mr.. Duer, the enc
mites of Gov. Seward would have claimed
triumph. Their Herald, Express and Jour
nal Of Commerce would have shouted them
selves hoaree over the victory.-But they

The Tick4t Stands {.

We are reliably assured that no one Of tie
candidates Nominated By the late Whlg
State Convention wiN decline. We make
this statement, which may seem gratuitous,
because the most formidable and concerted
efforts have been made to induce the candl-
dates to decline or in some manner to COM
nromige those who nominated them. All in
vain. The candidates will all stand, and
the Ticket will be elected by triumphant
majority.
When the men who bolted at Syracuse
supposed they were to control the Conven-
ton, among the sage projects that they con-
cocted for the publication of the Wing par
ty was proposition that, in case an Anti
Rent Convention were to re'nominate any
Of our Wing candidates. the State Commit
tee should be authorized to insist on their
declining the Ambient nomination, or in
default thereof should strike their names
from the ticket
Now we protest against all such narrow
tests and stupid prescriptions. The Wings
have no objections to half dozen different
parties or sections of parties nominating
their candidates-the more the better
Those who don't like the resolutions passed
at Syracuse may adopt any others they
choose-Whig, Loco, Native, Anti Rent or
any other We regulars amt proud-any
body is welcome to support our candidates
for any reasons that may be satisfactory to
himself. And if our Resolves don't please
some, they will of course pass such as do.
So that they vote the right candidates, they
are welcome 80 do it even for the wrong

Mr.. HIRAM KETcHUM advises the public
through The Commercial that he was an out.
slider at Syracuse and didn't have his own
way there-whereat he is displeased, as is
too commonly the twist of our frail human
nature. He further volunteers the novel
and rather startling information that
Messrs. Co17cin of Ohio, Greene and Clark
Of r. |. Truman Smith Of Conn. and Phelps
of Vt. were opposed to Mr.. Seward son the
great questions which have agitated the
councils of the Nation" which will give
something of shock to those who watched

with regard to Syracuse doings, as follows:

out Of these facts, be is welcome to it. 1t is
very certain that Mr. j. saw or consulted no
