Neio York Democracy.

The New York Express continues to show up
the late coalition between the Hunker and Free
Soil Democrats of New York, 1t says:
The Washington Union, too, takes down the Sy-
racuse Barnburner proceedings as all right. We
commend fact or two, therefore, for the National
Organ to digest.
Four of the nominees on the Barnbarner ticket are
Van Bnren Free Soil Democrats of the ultra school;
and, what is important, they are put on the Canal
Board, which holds about all the patronage and potl-
cal power of the State.
Henry s. Randall, of Gourtland county, is named
for Secretary of State. About ALL il not all, the De
mocracy Cortland county are OF the Abolition De-
mocratlc school: Doctrnalre the Evening Post calls
HIM, which means III New York English, an Adolf
ton Philosopher, as near as We can translate it.
Horace Wheaton, named tor Canal Commissioner, is
a conspicuous Barnbumer (broher and business part
Of Charles A. Wheaton, the Abolitlonst.) Levi
S. Chatfed attorney GeneraD combines the beau
ties of Barnburner and Anti Rent; and Benjamin
S. WEIGH, named for Treasurer, is the Editor of the
Builo Republic, OF the worst sort of Democratic
guished itself the Buffalo slave by publishing
infammatory and ncendiary accounts, either TO in
duce by violence or through the subertuges
OF the Law.
II the Washington Union will smother such facts as
these, we beg friends at Richmond, Raleigh,
Nashville, Augusta, Macon, Savannah, Tuscaloosa,
Vcksburg, New Orleans, to bring them home to
their people, The only wooly- headlsm now left with
any power in this great State had full and complete
sway in the Democratic Van Buren Barnburner Con-
vention at Syracuse They not only put down. by
large mai ory, resolution approving the final settle
ment Of the Compromise measures, but the resolu-
tons they did pass are cheat, subteriuge with
double entendre dIsapprovlng, by the implication of
silence, al least the Fugitive Slave Law.-bu ds.p
proving III fact and soiemnity. See the speeches of
leading man like Mr.. Grover and others, as set
forth in those Barnburner Abolition papers the Even
ing Po.t and Albany Atlas.
The Express also does service by demonsra-
ting that the position of the Wings of New York,
though not as clear as it should have been, is

follows:
The "ALBANY PLATFORM" seems to be the popular
platform among the Conservative Wings of the North
The Massachusetts, Wings made it the basis of their
agreement, in thelfreeent State Convention at Spring
fed, and allude to It very handsomely in their State
Address, drawn up by Edward Everett, and received
with general favor by the Delegates In Michigan,
the Wings met IN State Convention, also on the 10Th
OF September and there 'sthe Albany PLATFORM was
adopted as the basis ct political action, and the Con.
Venuon was IN consequence very harmonious one
Wear sorry to see disposition among some of

so easy to sncounter. The 'Albany Platform So
called, was series OF Resolutions subscribed TO bv
the committee OF SIX Wing members of the Albanv
Legislature, and by the members of the two State
Cofnmlttees seIected by the Conventions of 1850 in
