The tw3 branches Of The Wing party Ia New
York have al length agred upon platform. and
the central commuters Of each. acting In co-ope-
rltion with a committee Of the Legislature. have
signed call for state convention. The plat
form avosias their principles has been published,
and sahe Wing papers in the South seem dispo-
SD to Look upon il with disfavor. Most Of The
principles Sc, forth they spprose aud their CEN
sure is oopfred TO a clause upon the construction
Of which ihese i much room for difference Of
opinion. This r'sase. however. Is Of grave import.
aud We are not disposed to censure our friends

the North are determined in good faith to stand
by the compromise, as we believe they are, they

cy." Il was The assertion Of a general principle
necessary 10 reconcile conflicting opinions in the
party; but not inconsistent, with rigid deter
mination Of enforcing 10 the very letter the exc
cu,ioa Of the Fugitive Slave law. This has bccn
the declaration Of many leading statesmen and
eminent Wings Of the North, and we believe it
10 be the determination of the main body Of
Wings in that section. Judging from our pre-
sent lights, therefore. we are more inclined TO
congratulate the Wings in the prospective heal.
ing of their difficulties, Than 10 pick flaws in the
platform setting Forth their principles, and upon
which they have placed the adjustment Of their
differences We shall wait for further develop
menis, with the hopeful trust that they will moi
earn for themselves the epiihels oftraiiors by be-
coming unfailhfu 10 the compromise and the
Union.
The Democratic papers, almost as matter Of
course, dcnounce the platform, as they do The
Wings Of New York. In this they have dou-
hle purpose. They hope TO make capital Of il /;
they hope also to use il as a blind to divert at
ten,ion from the leprous spots in their own par
". The once b,astcd Northern man with
Southern principles" Mr.svan Buren,, and his
ftce.soi associates, are moving at the head Of a
large division Of the Northern Democracy il is
not therefore surprising that Democratic leaders
roring 10 distori and to nisrepresen; Wing lam
guige and sentiment, in order TO make il appear
that Northern Wings are as much tainted as
Northern Democrats. But we trust thrt our
Northern Wing brethren win vindicaie the pu-
rity and elevation. of their principles by an Open
pairiolic straightforward and just course, and by
their jealous fidelity TO the. Union. In so far as
they shall do this, we shall be reaty TO accord 10
them the need Of well done.
