A Voice from the West

CArrARAUGUs County was represented in
she Syracuse Convention by two Delegates
who voted in the minority throughout, bolt
ed with the seceders, and authorized the
signing Of their names TO Duer's Address
We have just received the Cattoyau9us
Wing, the Wing County organ, at Ellicott-
vile, which utterly condemns their course,
It's leading article is long, but the following
extracts embody its spirit:
1--WE cannot bat regard the supplementary
conduct Of Mr. Duer, OF Oswego, in insisting upon
the Report Of the Committee on Resolutions being
made prior to the nominations, as the leading cause
Of the nwarrantabls and disgraeeful proceedings
q bch followed. The idea OF iis being important, at
this late day, when Wing principles, Wing meas.
uree, ard Wing men nave been from the very
foundations OF our Federal Government, insep para.
bly, connected with and incorporated in all that is
bright and glorious in the history OF our country,
thai platform Of principles (as if Whiggery were
something entirely new should be lad down for
the action Of Wbg CoDuention, Is too absurd to
be worthy of aerous confederation. Blu. 80 Mr.
Duer argued and we are sorry to say that thera
were othe' men in that Cow snton, who were so
fooiAh and reckless as to aid fuel to the flames
which his insanity had kindied.
We come now to particular consideration Of
The pable conduct Of the delegates hailing from
this county, in sranscending tho limits Of their au
thority, and forgetting or disregarding sher re-
gponsiblity to their commitments. They were
elected TO represeDt in a Wing State Convention,
the wiahes and sentiIaenss of the Wing party OF
CattMaugua. Twas no mare faction, Of any name,
that conferred this truly honorable dQ!J upon them,
bus i. was the united Wings Of the whole county.
What then, could DE their pretext for boiling from
the Convention TO which they were elected, AID
making a contemplate farce by foong away the
honor Of their offices, and passing their time in the
mock dignity OF an unauthorz ed meeting What
ever may have bsen she missaken motives for this
most extraordinary conduct we are fully assured
BY the unanimous expression Of all Wings whose
opinions we have learned, that il zill meet with
the unqualified condemnation Of the entire Wing
masees OF this county and OF the State and that
the Candidates, vino were so happily agreed upon,
will receive the cordial support Of their constltu.
ents who will make a triumphant election the
proof Of Wing union and strength.
AS regards the refusal of the aeceders to sP'
provo OF the Senatorial course Of mr. Seward We
think that, inasmuch az his course has 0eeh ~, u.
strict compliance with his Instructions Eoa ~
State L legislature, and that 81 ne is the ony 80
