Shall we see il in the Union?
Mr.. WnMoT's SUCCESSOR are told that
when Mr.. Grow, who has been nominated for
Congress in place of Mr. Wilmot, was asked at
political meeting held at Montrose on Satur-
day, by some impertinent person in the crowd
sWhen did you commence to make Free-soil
speeches !" He turned his face in the direction
of his interrogation, and with his hand pointed
| towards the Courthouse, said "ln that building
! j was the first person to offer the Wimot Pro-
viso in this district, and have advocated it since
in every school-house in this county"
This language cannot be mistaken--t plainly
warns the seceders not to distract the party,
but submit under protest. The same advice is
given by the New York Mirror edited by an
office-hoidcr under the administration:
"However strong may be the feeling about
one of the resolutions, the nominations are not
exceptionable. Even the seceders accord this !;
and we cannot rank ourselves among those who,
because they dislike simple declaratory resolu-
ton OF the convention--which, we cannot too
often repeat, they might have neutraizcd by a
protest-have put themselves in opposition to
| the proceedings of the convention, its excellent
nomination included; nominations, also, respect
| ing the voting for which there is no allegation
| of untairness and no suspcion, so far as we
have heard or read, of the slightest departure
| from the most regular and orderly proceedings.
There is no excuse for refusing support to such
a ticket; no paation whatever of any factions
opposition to it.
| Since the above remarks were written, we
have seen the statement that the seceders have
recommended Convention of National Wings
at Utica. We are still of the opinion that this
was unnecessary. All that such Convention
could do, would be to pass different resolutions
and nominate the same men. We doubt not
that the Wing Committees Of the National
Wings in this city would recommend the nomi-
nations and discard the Objectionable resolu
tons. Still we wait to see the address Per-
haps separate organization is necessary in other
parts of the State.
1t should be noted that Greeley, notwithstand-
ing his support of the Compromise Bill, glories
over the result, and endorses to the fullest ex-
tent the course of the majority.
Mr.. Cornell and Vessel S. Smith will also do
the same"
The Albany Register Of Saturday, the special
organ of the Administration, is very oracular
but inclined to peace and harmony
"The telegraph brngsus unpleasant accounts Of
the disruption of the convention, upon the passage
of resolutions introducing doctrines foreign to the
principles of the national whig party. While we
deeply regret this state OF things, and most strongly
lament and deprecate the folly and Mnaticlsm
which have produced such results, we esteem it
fortunate that the main and vital purposes for
which the convention was assembled have been
accomplished. A complete ticket Of candidates
for all the officers to be elected, has been pre-
sented by the body chosen for that purpose, COM
binng array of talent, strength, and sound
wing character which entities it to the warm sup
port OF every whg.
Our differences upon points of an abstract
character, do affect the essential principles of
the party, on which all agree, and ought not to af
feet the vigor, union, and efficiency which has
hitherto characterized the wings in prosperity and
adversely. 10 all then, we say, let us heartily
support the ticket, the whole ticket, and nothing
but the ticket"
g We reserve comments upon the extraordinary
and lnjudicous of the jority of the State
convention for future occasion. 1t will be seen
that measures have been taken to give a proper
expression to the principles OF the large body Of
wings Of the State who adhere to the national
platform. "
Following these is eulogistic notice of the
candidates nominated by the maj ority-without
the participation Of many of the minority
closing with this paragraph
sc The ticket, as whole, is one of great strength
and popularity, and well calculated to command
the full vote OF the wings, as well the rest Of
mankind,
From these signs it would seem that the
Scwardtes will ride rough-slod over their
opponents--who have already dubbed them
selves the National, and the majority the Sec
tional diyision-but when orders have been is
sued from head quarters. it strikes us that there
will he a change of tune in the organs, and an
attempt made to slight the devil with fire. that
is to prevent the full triumph of the rebelious
senator, if powerless to put him down. The
issue has been made directly by Dir. SEWARD
he has flung down the gauntlet. A better com
mentary upon the canting congratulations ten
dered to the country on his downfall could
not be presented, than his present attitude,
and that of his faction in the Empire State
holding the President at bay, even when backed
by the power of his official patronage, and
beating off his friends in convention by vote
of two TO one, even wheu they held out the
hand of fraternity.
What the policy of the Administration wing
means of positively ascertaining, since the or
gans here tread most gingerly over the hot
ashes Of the convention; but it seems to us
that the instinct of self-preservation will COM
pei them to resist, if they would not be dragged
as trophies of triumphs at the chariot wheels Of
the successful Seward He seems determined to
'rule or ruin"-and offers that alternative alone.
If the administration men act with him it must
be as subordnates if they oppose him the divis-
ion gives the State to the Democrats-proyd-
ed their truce be not as hollow as that Of their
opponents.
There is another aspect of the case, which is
not an impossible contingency coalition be-
tween Sewardites and Van Burenites-Old Hun
kers and Administration men--a league which
the cohesive power of public plumber" might
