have declared, that the whig y,rty Of the North |
was especially fAihless to TIE compact Of the late
adjustment. The proceedings of the late whig
Safe conventions in Chio and Pennsylvania are
proof positive agaivl: them. They could not be
brought to recognize their duty of obedience 70 the
Fugitive Save act, except in such vague genefaii
ties were 80 tisfactory to the conscenccs CT the
disciples Of fAe higher Law. They gave up the prin-
cPle CT he nesty for abolition votes and the Whig
State CO nvention Of New ork has done substan-
TALLY the same thing.
The Castle Garden Union Safety Committee,
which universally believed to be deunct, comes
W, like Bsnquos ghost, in this extremity to statle
the wings at their festival We thought this com
mittee deceased, dead and buried, and forgotten.
But rejoice at its rection in this crisis; for
its aIIlieaton Of the dvining rod to both the con-
yeLtlors at Syracuse, was q clever thing. II ap-
pears that this Uni IN Safety Committee detailed
special messenger to Syrau,e, to lay before the
ocersof each convention the following resolution
Resolved, That, in the opinion Of this meeting =
further agitation OF the slavery question in Congress
wcud be frsuaht with incslculabe danger Union
and that viii support cand the ensuing
ether election for State officers for OF
Congress of the Legislature Who believed
to be hostile TO the recently adopted by
Ccngiess or any Of them in favor Of reopening the
questions Involved in them for renewed agitation.
This is explicit, honest, open faced, and I" faces
the music - but it hazards the votes of "higher
law" and abolition mercenaries, and therefore
never beard of in the Whig Convention. 1t appears
to ha' pat it out of the way as occasional State
prisoners dispo'ed ofin the dungeons of Rome-t
was seen to 60 in, and that was the last Oft The
resolutions adopted do not come up to the mark
aud we are very widely mistaken II they will answer
the purposes of deception for hich they are intend

expense of Wing honesty, may possibly lead to
" hig mutiny elsewhere.
The Democratic Convention has done but little
better They did give the resolution of the Union
Safety Committee respectful notice, by taking il
up and debating its expedieney and necessity in
wellcontested, serious, and bona ffe discussion
but they laid it unde the table. The fact is that
between Seward, Weed, aud Greeley, op the one
side, and Martin Van Buren, and the Prince on tae
other, and thoir piebai political adherents, the
State Of New York is sold TO the ag:ators the nul
lifers, the conspirators against the Union-to
N ,uthing fanatics Of" the higher law"
On the State ticket Of each party there yet
some good men, and true. The Union Safety Com
mittee, we understand, can muster ten thousand
votes in the State. If they can, they will do well
to apply them With discrimination; and in this
way they may possibly rebuke the unp,in,ipled
hucksters of both parties, and vindicats the in
tegrity Of the State. But We almost despair.
The AMERICAN DRAMATIC FUND ASSOCIATION -
This institution founded on the sh Of February

made on the third of June last, AMI approved on

every actor and actress in the United States, with
out restriction from age, length OF service in any
particular theatre, town city. The present in
vested capital amounts 10 $4,000
We do not know how satisfactory this report
may be to the members of the association. We
think il may equal their wants as to a kaow-

ceiye that it is anything but satisfactory II the

members have retired under rale VIII :, we have
