nom mated the present State officers
passed resolutions sustaining the pres
{ nj administration endorsed tie co0'-
promise measures, including he f"gi-
hrc Stare lar, with n SOFT Of proviso,
iha, it time and experience suggested
any amendments, they should favor them
"a, the same time incidentally. and IN
general terms declaring tia, ihey be-
lic, ed some alteration. necessary, with.
gu, naming one Of ,hem.) This is ex.
plicir. ccriainly--,ery. Did not these
men know HAT willie they wore endors-
ing Iillmore's administration, both he
aud Daniel Webster were dead set
against any and ali disturbance or alter
alton Of The compromise
Blu, turning from these (doub,less)
honest opinions Of the Lccofoco free soil
pres. of Ncrmont-let US look upon the
remarks made on The subject by others
GU, Of the Stn.c. The .New York Her.
oH-c,crywhcrc, and nowhere in par
,ica!ar--Lni always true and reliable in
its adhesion TO the doctrine Of free frade.'
ana ever ready TO defend aud support
any measure brought forward by the
Slavcocracy--diiTtrs most essentially
with the free soil democrats Of Vermont
in giving its ida Of the bearings Of the
action Of Vermont Wings.
The Herald in spcaking Of the action
Of the Pennsylvania and Vermont Wing
, Conventions and the nomination Of Cen
Scott says
! "Thc State Convention Of Vermont,
without any nowlrdge Of what was do
/ ing in Pennsylvania, constructed like
platform. and put forward principles
similar to those in Pennsylvania who
/ flung General SCOTS name to the breeze.
, Both conventions have avowcd their ad.
lerence to the high protective policy,
and lave constructed an anli-slaveiy
sliding scale, or movable platform of
agitation, which opens the doors snfIi.
ciently wide to admit the aboliionisls
Of every hue ard grade in the Northern
States.
These movements in PENNSYLVANIA
and Vermont form fresh triumph to
William II. Seward and his political as.
sociaics. and an overwhelming defeat to
Daniel Webster, Willard Fillmore, and
all those who have been travelling about
the country endeavoring to construct d
national platform out Of the compromise
measures
And again, says the same paper IN
al!usion to the nomination of Gen
Scott -
General Scott thus being tho Whis
candidate, the question arises, what i.
the platform on which he stands We
2 have already stated, in general terms
: that the platform put forward by tn,
Wings of Pennsylvania is favorable tt
the Union and to the compromise, Will,
ii evidently leaces open the discussio,
4 reiatire to the repeal o. modification o
{ tie fagitire Stare lar. 1t is the SAM
>. platform rs that OF William ii. Sewar,
. and his friends. in this State. 1t i,
the platform of the free soilcrs of New
England and the Northern States. TIL,
S position is boldly assumed in favor 0
c the course Of policy which will leave tn,
!, Fugitive Slave law subject for discus
sion hereafter, and for further and TN
J limited agitation, in the canvass and Il
n the polls
u In reference TO the Pennsylvania
+ Convention, the Herald further SAYS:
"a resolution specially directed to II,
. support Of the Fugitive Slave law, as
now exists on the statute book, was re
e Jec'cd by large vote, thus unequiro
T. caUy isariag that question open 70
~ oyifation, Glitter By may Of repeal 0
omen"ne"t, 1" some subsequent Con
gresS."
" 1t is well for the Wings that the
." themselves well understand their tru
e position, or they might, under such
wonderful disagreement Of doctors,
q fail to see exactly where they 10 stan,
n But, rs the matter rests, we think tn
attempt to place the party dixie the as
!, in the iabh.,) between two bundles {
Is hay, will prove unavailing, and as So
Is onion, or some other wise man sal,
that "tlie truth Of matter was alway
l. 10 be found between two extremes" W
q think tie wing party may rest easy o
Is their present ground.
At In connection with the above, we cal
re not refrain from giving the folIowin
+ from the " Crcyiock Sentinel" whicl
considering that the Sentinel is All GU
&c and-out Free Soil paper, is remarkabl
70 fair. The Sentinel in speaking Of ii
y Vermont Convention says as follows;
N AT the Wing State Convention
