and made himself most active and Proml-
nent among the contenlners of Gov. Seward
the fact, we say, that he appearedtobet the
leader and spokesman Of the Wing State
Convention, would have beaten any Ticket
it could have nominated. The Wing
Masses of New-1ork lciH not be led by
William Duer, .John Young Il Go. and it
seemed TO us clearly preferable that these
gentlemen should be delicatelv admonished
at Syracuse rather than have the Wing
party fogged over their backs at the Flee
ton. We therefore treated their abundant
threats of Boiling, &c. at Syracuse with
uniform contempt and defiance. We held
the Wing party would be strengthened by
their Secession. no matter what coursethey
might see fit 10 take afterward. We think
50 still. At the very worst, they could but
beat US, leaving US still cheri>hing the
Principles which have 50 often lighted Us
to victory; while giving way to them
would certainly throw away the State and
deprive US Of the position wherein only we
could hope TO preserve or regain 1t. Firmly
believing that such are the facts, we have
acted and shall act accordingly We dis
claim all personal feeling in the premises,
except toward Mr.. Duer. whose bearing at
tIo Convention was such that VIC could not
pretend to like it. But we resisted his
course of proceeding primarily and mainly
because we believed it calculated, if as
cendant, to work the defeat and downfall
of the Wing party. We shall be very
happy to cease all controversy on the sub
icct as soon as We may do so without
prejudice to the Wing cause.
We have repealed no tender of Wing
votes, Wing support and Wing concilia-
tion''--nothing of the kind. We have SIM
PLY repealed the attempts of the minority
Of the Wing party to rule, to brighton, or
to personate the majority. We shall resist
such attempts to the last, regardless of per-
sonal consequences. The Wing party Of
our State has held its Convention, nominated
its Candidates and proclaimedits Principles.
70 those candidates and those principles
we render most hearty and active sup
port. If any who now concur in those prin-
ciplcs, wholly or III part, shall yet see fit,
for reasons satisfactory to themselves, to
support the Wing candidates or part of
them, we are glad of their help and shall
do nothing to repel it; but if any other
than an authenticolly called Convention of
the Wing Party shall assume to set forth
Principles as those of the Party, inconsistent
with those which the Party itself has pro-
claimed through lis regular Convention, we
feel bound to repel such assumption as pre-
sumptuous and mischicvous Messrs. Duer
& Co. have perfect liberty to select their
own candidates and PROFOUND their own
principles, but they have had no authority
TO speak for the Wings of the State. No
tenth part Of the Wings of Ncw-York were
in amy way represented in the Utica Con-
vention, non gave it even tacit authority to
speak in their behalf. How such aSsump-
ton, as that of the Boiling Convention to
appoint Wing State Central Committee,
can conducc either to harmony or success
we cannot imagine. But we are willing to
leave all the matters in difference between
those who think with us and the followers
of Mr.. Duer to the public Judgment, with
out further remark but should those of
the contrary part choose to pursue the dis
cussion, we are prepared to welcome that
alternative.
