From the Al6dnp Register.

FROM Inc Albany ReStster.
We publish to. day full and complete report of
the proceedings of the Utica convention, the only
full report, we believe, which has been made. We
do not expect to live to see more respectable body
OF men than composed that convention, one
combining more substantial worth, wisdom, and
devotion TO the commonwealth, assembled on any
similar occasion. To have been member of it is
high and honorable distinction. The shortness
OF the time, the lateneEs of the season. the of
primary and local organizations, and of concert Of
action, were all uniavorable to the assembling Of
any considerable number Of delegates, but the
suit hasdsappointed our most sanguine expecta-
tons. The convention was almost as numerousy
attended as the preceding at Syracuse; but its
most striking feature its high character for the
Intelligence, established reputation, eminent ser!
vices, and sterling patriotism OF its members
There were most OF the old, long tried and faith
| full leaders Of the Wing party of New York. and it
was refreshing TO meet them together once more
There were men who do not ordinarily mingle in
the striies and commoton of politics, but who
had now forsaken their various and engrossing
occupations, and come forward TO deliberate the
course and position of the Wing party, and consult
together upon the excited and perous condition of
the country. There were the men easily lost sight
OF In seasons OF calm prosperity but who, like the
spirits of the revolution, start forth such an
emergency-the men to whom the party and the
country must look in times OF adversely and trial
They came together as one man. impelled by the
promptings of patriotism, and with them came
hosts OF others, TO witness the deep ervor and
nestness of their deliberations, and gather up the
collected wisdom Of their councils. In their pres
frivolous and captious cavaliers awed into
silence, and the friends of liberty inspired with
new hope. The friends Of the Union grew stronger,
| and the lovers ofpcace and harmony became moro
confident. Political wire pullers and gamblers,
with their tools, were, for the time being, cast into
the shade 1t was evident enough that in an
emergency there were enough who despised
the spoils of office TO come forward and act boldly
and decidedly In defence OF the Constitution, and
rescue the Union from any and all enemies.
Inc action oil the convention cannot fail to COM
mend itself to all true Whigs, in and out of this
State In the spirit of forbearance and Cancellation,
it has spoken kindly to those who differ from it
in opinion, and at the same time planted the Wing
party firmly the Constitution and the Union, as
Its corner stone. II has rebuked the wild and an
cry spirit of Abolitionism and, occupying an ele-
waited position, from which il could overlook the
whole country, il has dealt fatal blow at eyed
sectionalism. 1t has saved the Wing party of New
| York from irreconcilabe division, saved it from
! being switched of from its track and dashed to
pieces upon the rocks of political slavery, and
saved the great Wing party Of the Union from dis
traction and ruin Through that convention the
Wing party of New York has uttered its voice, and
! its echoes will revcrberate through every nook
and corner of the land, and arouse the Wings of
the nation TO rally once more around the banners
which their honored leaders have go long and Of
ten borne aloft with varied success. To breth-
of the South il says-the North will embark in
no mad crusade against your Institutions; ceaee
| your agitation, and talk no more of disunion. To
! the North il says-cease your efforts 10 the
| storm which has Just swept over the country, and
! for time, at least let the whirlwind of discord
sleep. The action of the majority of the late
vention az Syracuse is decidedly but not arshly
| condemned, and upon the platform laid down al
! Utica all true Wings invited TO stand. Some.
thing has been yielded in order to make room lor
| them.
The ticket presented for the support of National
| Wings and Wings of the Union, at the coming
election, is the same which presented at SYRIA
/ cuse. The nominees have been rescued from the
Syracuse platform, and fortunately rescued, too
FOR without the endorsement they have received al
Utica, their election would have been hopeless
/ There is now fair prospect Of their successive
arc now enabled Ia restore their names TO our col
umns, to yield them support, and 10 invite
! our readers to give them theirs.
| Lastly, but not least, organization has been
effected by the appointment of a new State Central
/ Committee, and the Union Wings" Of this State
now prepared for any emergency that may
arise. They can communicate and act in concert
with the Wings of other States. The Wing adj
ministration can be upheld and defended, If need
be, against the assaults Of secret and open foes
! The National Whigs of New York represented
| in that committee, and can be rallied, If occasion
requires, in defence Of the Constitution and the
! Union.
! Important results have been achieved, much good
! has already been done, and our prospects for th,
! future have grown brighter. We invite an attcn
tive perusal of the proceedings Of the convention
which now spread before readers. They are
both interesting and highly instructive.
