have chosen Opposition Members wholly or in

The public movements looking to dissolution
Of the Union are gathering strength, and develop
Ing themselves every direction. Il Is not alone
in Washington, in either house of Congress, that
anti slavery fanaiicsm RACES and leads TO dsunIon'
The n, rth is equally on the gh way TO dsunc-
tion in such developements towards the South.
In corroboration of this fact give extracts
of the proceedings of very remarkable conven-
ton, which was held last week at Syracuse, IN
this State, at which sentiments Of most ultra
character were delivered, openly and publicly, to
the world, without any reserve or remorse This
was State convention Of antisavery men, in
which were gathered all the anti-slavery and dis
union leaders of New England and New York;
embracing all classes and all creeds-the black
man and the white-the Christian and the In
fidel-the high moralis', and probably the low
debsuchee. We also give our readers a part Of
rhe same developements-meres specimens of ex-
tracts from Southern ournals--expressive of the
same sentiments towards dissolution, and put forth
as preparatory to the great Southern convention
20 he held in Nashville, Tennessee, IN June next
We desire the moderate, sensible, calm, ard
patriotic people of the United State g. of all parties
and all creeds, here and elsewhere, In this me-
tropolis and in the remotes extremties of the
republic, to ponder on those plain, papabe facts,
daily disclosing themselves to the world, in re-
ference to the continuance of this fair fabnc Of
government, and the confederacy of these States.
| The policy adopted by the administration at
Washington, under the name of General Taylor,
postponing the settlement of the slavery question,
as pertaining to the territories until such time as
the territories shall be sufficiently populated to
title them to admission as States is policy which
only encourages, advises, and leads on these IA
natcs, in both sections OF the country, to hold their
conventions, declare their sentiments, and drive
the masses of the two old parties into their opinions
and purposes. Look, for instance, at the State of
New York. The two old parties, wings and loco.
focos, are very nearly balanced in popular mum.
bers. At the next election, every effort to get
Votes will be made by each. The movements OF
he antislavery party and the anti-slavery conven-
ions, as a separate and distinct affair, render 1t
absolutely necessary for the leaders and asplrants
of the other two factions adopt the same princi-
ples the same views apd to rush to the same ex-
tremes. All parties, therefore, on the highway
of anti slavery, leading to a complete alienation be-
tween the North and the South on this point, pro-
voked and delayed by the policy of the present
cabinet in relation 10 the new territories.
Amidst such conflicting elements and portentous
movements, is it not time for the great mass Of the
respectable portions of the community, in all parts
OF the republic, to pause, think, and begin to act IN
some determined way, IN order to restrain such
tendencies in public affairs, both at Washington
and elsewhere
