THE WINGS OF NEW YORK.

We have purposely omitted comment upon
the proceedings of the New York Wing State
Convention, until we could have them more in
detail We al first, thought strangely of the eff
fort to compliment Mr. Seward. We conceive
him 10 be one of the most Objectionable poti-
clans in the country, one with whom we have
not the slightest sympathy. Mr.. Seward is an
abolitionist dyed in the wool, and deserves the
censure of all honest and upright Wings. lie
has not only done the Wing party much injury,
but he has not been backward in contributing
fuel to sectional s,ries, and in using his ut
most efforts TO prolong very unnecessarily the
Free-Soil agitation.
The facts with respect to the New York Con-
venton, are nearly as follows: A resolution
laudalory of Mr. Seward was introduced and
passed The minority protested against such
sentiments, and upon the passage of the resou-
ton withdrew from the body. II is said by some
of our exchanges, that the Conven,on was a
packed body, statement, about the truth of
which, we are not prepared to make decision,
though lis truth is highly probable. Since the
Withdrawal of the minority, it has published an
address, in which is set forth the reasons for its
course. 1t is plain, well written highly patr-
Otto and well-toned paper-cam and dignifed.
The address represents, that the majority sat un
I'll late hour Of the night, in a secret session, in
framed series of resolutions, rejecting upon
Mr.. Fillmore, and containing the odious support
of Mr.. Seward. The address does not pledge
the Wing party to the support of the nominees Of
the Convention, though il lntimates that they
will be supported if they should distinctly disa-
ror the principles Of the Convention. 1t closes
with call for a Convention, wh,ch is to be held
IN Syracuse, on the 18th instant
The minority has acted right, and the Wing
party of every State in the Union will thank it
for its firm maintenance of the truly national po-
sIllon. The Wing party, as party. prizes the
federal Union and will maintain the federal Con-
stlution. 1t will organize in no State upon no
other than a national platform. 1t will leave
sectional policies to be advocated by fanatics and
sustained by utras. And it cannot, and will not,
lend its aid to those dangerous schemes, which
are undermining the Institutions of the country,
and which if persisted in must eventually result
IN the downfall Of our political fabric.

CHANGES FOR TIE END.

lie Southern agItators are DisunionstS. They
have been asked TO point out their grievances.
and have answered with general dcnuncia-
ton. They have had submitted plans for their
consideration, and without candid examination
have rejected them. Each plan, which they have
proposed, has been imprachcable and as unrea-
sonable as impracticable. The first requistion is
to change the Constitution, and when asked for
the particular, in which it shall be changed We
have been told that we must have two Execu-
lives And two Executives FIR what? To pre-
vent the accumulation Of federal power in the
hands of the North Strange indeed, that men
acquainted with the political workings of our
country, should Seekto diminish the federal power
OF any section, by correcting the defects of the
Executive instead Of the Legislative department.
But this scheme found no support, Next, we are
offered line above which the institution of slave
ry should not be recognised, aud below which it
must and shall have existence But reflection
soon taught them, that this theory grated most
harshly against that of the distinguished cham
pon OF Southern Rights. If Congress should
say slavery shall be in one section, and it shall
not be in another ii will then have lcgislated
positively upon the subject and the head and
front OF the Southern party had affirmed and de-
monsfdted, that Congress could not lcgislate up
on the question of slavery. Here they were in
an awkward and uneasy posture-to finch was
the only alternatve-It was accordingly done,
and California made the great cause of dis
sent. Admit her and ruin would Immediately
flow. Immediately upon the admission of Cali
lorna, the resistance was to begin; vet California
has been admitted and the theory again under
goes change. Now, we are taught that no 60
vernment can be maintained, which must Sus-
tain diverse interests; this doctrine will he taught
long enough for its advocates TO become ashamed
of their position and then abandoned
These repeated changes of theory not only
teach the fckleness of the advocates, but offer
key with which We detect their motive. The
first effort was TO embarrass the government that
ITS various parts might be dissatisfied so that out
OF dissatisfaction, diSunon might arise. This
failing the next effort was to find some plausible
preteXt for leading off in the game of disunion.
If such is not true why is it that every argument,
which has been employed, is so framed as TO inn
pair the public faith in the general government,
and as TO convince the people that the govern
ment is incompetent TO protect the States so long
as the Union is TO be maintained? Their design is
embodied in their proposition, which is contain
ed in the conclusion, that the preservation of the
Union and the maintenance of justice cannot be
affected by the same government
