Of the superior exceences OF the wing party denounces
democracy under the name OF ocofocosm and enters into
close alliance with VIM. H. Seward, Thurlow Weed, and
Horace Greeley in order to retain the command of State
and federal patronage.
The Republic has endorsed the action of the wing
venions in Vermont Pennsylvania and Ohio. The Yer
mont convention placed the fugitiyesIave law the
ground of ordinary act of legislation. and as such
subject to repeal modification. like act altering the
limits of judicial district. The Pennsylvania

the Pennsylvania legislature repeating that portion Of the
law of ls47 which denied the Of public jas for the
safekeepng of fugitive slaves and justified its refusal to
adhere to the Compromise by the plea that Governor
Johnston had received large abolition vote, and did not
wish to drive that vote from him. The Ohio wing
venton nominated for governor Mr.. Vinton, OF the
political firm Of Corwin, Ewing, Seward, and Co., and
failed to give any support TO the Compromise by direct
