Tn. state of the Country and the Adjustment.
At no time since the commencement of the pres
ent excitement the slavery question, has the state
of parties sections-and of the country at large
been more complicated or critical. So far as
any immediate action at the South is concerned, We
think there is nothing either to hope for appre-
bend upon that score There is altogether too many
conflicting opinions and interests among the South
ern people to admit of any united efficient action
at the present time. AS we have before observed,
not one Southern State with the exception of South
Carolina is prepared to resort to extreme measures
The real danger comes from the Union-loving North
from two States which have derived more benefits
from the Union and more wealth from the Southern
people, than all others combined. We allude to Mas
cessary to allude to WINrHRoPs course in the Sem
ate. It is enough to say that he is identified with
SEWARD, and everybody knows what his course has
been. WINTHROP is sustained in Massachusetts, and
her first men make no secret of avowing that the flu
gitve slave law will not be, and dare not be- execu-
ted in Massachusetts,. In New York. an election is
to come off on the first Monday of next month for
State officers and for members of Congress. The
Wing nominees are essentially Seward men, Free
Sellers, and Anti-Renters, to the back bone. The
endorsed SEWARD, using terms of the highest com.
mendation. From this Convention few members
seeded, and called another Convention, which as
Sembled at Utica on the 18th of the present month
and nominated the same ticket. Between the meet
ing of the two Conventions, WASHINGTON HUNT, the
Syracuse nominee for Governor, had written letter
condemnng the fugitive bill and every other plank
of the Omnibus, with the exception of the admis
sion of California and the abolition of the slave trade
in the District of Columbia WASHINGTON HUNT
goes for the repeal of the fugitive slave BILL and yet
he is endorsed and eulogized by DUER, FRANK GRAN
GER, and the so-called " National Wings" of New
York-the FILLMORE Wings be it remembered. Il
this twoaced and three-legged party succeeds, and
we fear it will succeed, farewell to peace and quiet
ness-and we had almost said, farewell to the Union
more ridiculous farce than this Utica Convention
called by the friends of MIR. FILLMORE, cannot wei
be conceived Of 1t differs in nothing from the pre-
viOus Convention at Syracuse only that it complains
that Mr.. Seward engrossed all the praise, leaving
none for their honorable selves and Messrs. DUEE
& Co. got up Convention to endorse themselves
There is about much difference between the SEW
ARD and FILLMORE wing of the Wings in New York
as there is between six and halfa-dozen.
The Democrats not as plain and open upon the
question they should be- but they still plant them
selves upon the Baltimore platform of a. and es
chew sectionalism, anti-rentism, and all other sms
and if successful, will unquestionably send back
DICKINSON to the Senate some one else of similar
opinions. We fear, however, that the triple comb
nation of the Sewardites and Fillmorenes-the anti
Masous and the anti Renters-the Socialists and the
Abolitionsts be too much for the natona
Democrats in New York Much-yerv much-de
ponds upon the result of this New York election.
