WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 81, 1851.

The Journal copies the following extract from the
New York Courier and Enquirer
Some wings are in favor Of the fugitive slave law Just
stands-others think it could be made better, and
others think that ought to be repealed and new one
enacted in its place. Cannot difference OF opinion
this subject be tolerated. Or formula of faith
be prescribed for all Every man must be left to his
own Judgment upon this matter unless the wing party
is to be dissolved.
To which the Editor adds the following comment:
In the approaching election in our State we hope that
differences of opinion among wings lriH be tolerated.
The democrats have determined pursue a different
course Their leaders have determned kick all those
who differ from them those questions of their par
ty- Let them do so if they see proper The wings
should not be guilty OF act runous to their
The whig party in this State, If it does suffer
tse 70 be divided on immateria issues can carry four
and probably five of the Congressional districts. That
is object worth fighting for, and to accomplish which
We can afford to be tolerant.
First the opinions of the Courier and Enquirer
1t seems that the article from which the above is copied
gave great offence to the wing mercantile interest of
New York, who are opposed to Seward and his higher
law doctrines. 1t written by Henry ]. Raymond,
the assistant Editor who belongs to that branch Of the
wing party in New York known woolly heads Col.
Webb the Editor, the next day in long article
denyng authorship and repudating its sentiments. He
explained that during his absence in Europe for eighteen
months the paper had been under the control of this
man Raymond, whom he supposed to be sound on the
slavery question aud opposed the Wilmot proviso.
He then states that in future the Courier and Enquirer
will be under his immediate coutrol and that the whole
the slavery question will be changed and that he
iri support the compromise measures and in relation
to the Fugitive Slave Law he says " shall maintain
the lar it is, and oppose any attempt to repeal
modify" A complete somerset turned
for which we rather applaud than censure Col. Webb
But what does Mr. De(rees mean by toerating differ
ence of opinions among whigs2 He mean nothing
else than that in those districts where union of the
among wings will be tolerated, but in the third dis
trict where Mr. Parker is nominated and where the
wings have the strength to elect, predict that Mr.
Parker will square up the work and advocate the
compromise measures and in the 7th (McGaughey's,)
the wings required stand up to the rack and
dorse all the compromise measures. No difference of
opinions tolerated there, because they know in
that strong district nothing is TO be gained by the
truck and dcker" policy recommended by the Journal
but in the other districts differences Of opinion among
tchigs lru be tolerated." they must not be divided
mmateraI issues" If they spread wide their nets
and gather in birds OF every feather and every hue they
succeed in carrying four five of the Districts in
the coming contest-which he says is object north
fighting for" Worth bargaining for would be more ap
proprate term, yet this worthy and conscientious editor
denounces every democrat who supports Julian and cries
out % Truck and Dicker"
