Wing Movements In this State.

TeIceiye the wings stirring their stumps in
Iious parts Of the State, and will soon be moving
in masses, in every county, for their convention,
emeke their nominations, and assume the same
ground, for the same purpose. The position and
prospects Of the two parties are, however, very
d.tsreED In the elections for members of Congress-
which have already taken place in Missouri, Iowa,
Fcrnont, and Maine, il will be found that the
Wigs have gained seven members These cleo
EoBs, however, were held before any settlement
Of tie several slavery questions was made by Con-
gress, including, also, the great change that was
prcdCced by the sudden death of General Taylor
The position Of The two parties, in relation to each
otler hereafter in this State, will be different to
what il has heretofore teen; and already we per-
c5iye that indications are revealing themselves in
various counties, of some curious doings. The
recent movements of William II Seward, in Wash
ngton, looking to The revival of the slavery agitation,
and the tone oithe Seward organs-Thurow Weed,
in Albany, and Horace Grubby, as he is called in
England, of New Yor1--look rather gloomy aud
desIondmg for the safety of the wings at the
coming election. The Seward clique OF the wing
party entertsins bitter hatred towards Mr. Full
more feel a dread of his position and we should
not be at al surprised to gee an attempt made by
them to aid and assist in the defeat of the whg
ing out to The wing party throughout the country,
that Mr.. Fillmore had no strength IN New York.
The Mschieyelan purposes here attributed to
Weed, Seward & Co, in secretly aiding and pro-
noting the defeat OF their own party, for the mo-
lives We have already given, are beginning to show
themselves in various counties. We understand
thata desperate and violent effort will be made at
all county meetings. TO pass resolutions endorsing
a.. I,I. t.fS -
ing MS course, and his recent PRONUNCIATION of
new platform for the continuance of the slavery
agitation. The attempt, after the settlement of the
slavery question by Congress, under the auspices
Of MessIs, Clay and Webster, and Mr.. Fillmore's
administrations, TO revive it, will disgust the cons-r.
vauye portion ofthe vhie party, drive them out OF
it, aud almost lead 10 the ofthe democracy

succeeded in such project. We desire our wing
readers and cur whig supporters Throughout, the
State Of New York-aRd that they are many and
numerous, and belong TO the intellect and conser-

OF course, all these Nechiavelian purposes, which
have been concocted by Seward and Weed for the
purpose Of showing the weakness OF Mr. Fillmore
in the whic party in this State, will tell so much
IN favor OF the democracy, particularly as their
convention at Syracuse indicated great deal OF
practical good sense in uniting their combustbe
materials in support OF the old platform of the par.
