Union of the " iilg Party Of New York

For three days last past. the three Wing
Committees Of this great State--that appointed
by the Wings of the last Legislature, and the
two State Central Committees chosen last year
at the Syracuse and Utica Conventions have
been in solemn dclibcraton in the city Alba
ny. During this time, the eyes Of all Wings
have been anxiouSly turned towards them
Some have doubted their ability to effect a re-
cancellation between the Silver Crews and the
(so-callcd) Woolly- heads while others have
entertained the fullest confidence that a permn-
nent union would be brought about. We now
have the unsprakablc satisfaction of ANNOUNCE
ing, that the Wings of the Empire State stand
upon common platform; "a platform broad
enough and firm enough to hold every Wing of
the nation. Resolving comments for the future,
VIC take its main features, with few remarks,
from the Troy Wig. The call for State
Convention, to be held at Syracuse, Sept. II,
IS signed by all the members of the Committees
above referred to. We now have no fears rel
utiyc to the mex, Presidential Election. The
following Is the platform:
|. An economical administration of the GOV
eminent:
., Strict accountability of public officers, and
faithful o5sewan of treaty oh igations
3. Iarbor and River improvements:
4, A discriminating Tariff;
3. Opposition to the Extension Of Slavery
over territory now free, and an acknowledge
,nent Of the right Of each State to regulate It's
own domestic institutions, without interference
from other States;
Is. To abide by the Constitution of the United
States in all its parts, and to receive, sustain
and dcfend the decisions of the Judicial tribu
mails, and &c acqulescc III all laws not by them
declared unconstitutional
Z. The rigkt of free discussion, with full and
mntull regard for the constitutional rights Of
oil the States:
{. Condemnation of all attempts to resist
defeat, or render Intellectual, any laws constitu-
tlonally enacted;
Q. A full, Tree and GaTIalfcd endorsement
of the National Administration and its meas

Of the Wings of New York.
iC. An endorsement of the State Admins
tration, and more especially of It's course on the

EIiland Hall.

1t was with much pleasure that we found in
our Tcegraphic dispatch from Washington of
the 3Oth ultimo, which we then published, that
Judge HALL, Of Bennington, had been offered
the appointment of Commissioner to settle land
clalmsin California. Mr. HALL now holds an i'm
portant position in the Auditors Department at
Washington, in the discharge of which he has
given many signal proofs of his fitness for the
office now rendered to him. and which we doubt
not he will accept. Everybody knows how often
the Government has been imposed upon by the
presentation and allowance of fictitious claims.
Every day some designing rascal presents II
trumpcd-up account, which requires clear,
discerning eye, and willingness to labor and
investigate, in order to be justly exposed and
rejected The man who has the kccncss to
discern, the willingness to labor and the manly
honesty to reject or allow, as the case may re
quirc, is llILAND Hall.
For thirteen years he was the able and elc-
lent representative Of the Counties of Wind
ham and Bennington in Congress. For lonr
period, he was the Chairman of the Committee
on the famous Virginia Land Claims. These
claims-thc most infamous and unfoundcd, and
dating far back in our hstory-had been so long
persisted in, and so eagerly supported by the
most able advocates of the "Old Dominion
that they had, at the time Mr.. HALL became
chairman of the Committee named. come TO be
looked upon with considerable favor. But Mr..
HAL. knowing his duty and being both able
and willing to discharge it, entered upon te-
dlous investigation which brought from him a
report showing up the refined tact of Virginia
claimants, and resulting III the rejection by Con-
gross Of tallacious claims to the amount of
nearly A MILLION OF DOLLARS. When this
able and convincing Report was brought before
the House of Representatives, it elected from
the sublimatcd seIcconceH of Virginia Members
a trade Of low abuse of Vermont, to which Mr..
HALL proved himself amply able to reply, and
upon which he then and there placed the ctor
nal seal Of disgust. We are happy to perceive
that such services have not been unapprecin,ed
by the present Administration; and We predict
that Mr.. HALI, III the exercise Of the duties OF

that body, T" to invite plans accompanied by esti-
mates for the extension of the Capitol and to al

Although but one plan can be adopted the COM
mittee reserve to themselves the right TO form such
