Tho Whig Party la new York.
We have taken but little pains to lay before readers
the evidences brought by every mail that the whiz
party OF the Empire State has been only defeated but
utterly distracted and disoIganized by the result OF the
cent election. The leading journals Of the Seward and
Fillmore wings OF the party have been reyiling each
other, and changing eachey upon each other ever since
The Albany Evening journal led of by leading article
issued the morning OF the election charging in terms
that the policy OF the wing administration al Washing.

shouts the New York Express in lis utter frenzy, ''and
will roll up hundred thousand majority against
him within the sound of the City Hall bell!" The
Albany State Register, for days past has been CIV
ing the Evening Journal the lie about twice daily on an
average and, finally, the Buffalo Commercial Adyer-
tifer--Mr Fmoe's home orsan-strikcs at MIR Senator
Seward after the following fashion. We commend the
article to our readers with this single remark: This Mr.
Seward is the very same gentleman whose course the
wings OF New York, in State convention, appaudei
loudly and unanimously in lsi9 and again by immense
majority in 1850, after the Compromise had passed. He
is also the very who at this moment has, we be-
leve, personal and political strength with the
masses Of the wing party of his State than any other
three wing citizens that be found within its limits
not excepting President Fillmore. In this view the Ad
yer,isers article about him Ia noteworthy.

Gov. SEWARD AND THE RIoTERs.--In noticing the en-
tertanment given by Governor Seward to the Syracuse
rioters and their associates of all cOlors, stated that
had not seen or heard word of approval OF that
extraordinary proceeding Since then there has been
meeting Of sboonists at Boston, at which Ibis matte
was fully discussed, and the result the unanimous
adoption Of the following resolutions
Rsolpsd. That the citizens Of Syacnse in Wrestling Jerry
from the hands of his capior though be had been
under the form Of law, was nothing more less than

Il is only the most fanatca and frantic OF this per-
nlcous sect that express their appreciation OF his extern
sion OF sympathy and hospitality" persons hsd for
that ne has not sincere and discreet friend in the world
who does not deeply regret his ill-iudged and
fortunate conduct. The want of taste and disregard

court OF justice, nconsiderabe natter and have
only this remark TO make upon it, that Of the dis
nction enjoyed BY Mr. Seward, and occupying position
elevated and responsible, commits great error and
actually does wrong, when he moTtes his admirers and
gives his and their opponents occasion for approaching
him and haunting them But there Is another aspect in
which his conduct is to be considered, and in which he
has incurred the censure of all men who regard the
cuon OF the laws and the maintenance OF order and
tranquility in the community objects OF paramount
Importance. The OF MIR Seward in relation to
the charged with violation Of law cannot be gen.
orally followed without producing the most injurious
suits. That course afforded direct encourage ment 10
crime; il gave aid and comfort 10 those who were
charged with grievous offence against society, and
against a law enacted in conformity with the letter
and spirit OF that constitution which he had solemny
sworn 10 respect and obey; and it was a practical
rebuke OF the severest kind to the minister of the
formed bis duty. Can this be done to any consider
able extent by men in high places without shaking the
foundations Of society! Then il jusihes the democrats
disorder and riot and unless we denounce his conduct
and dsclam all sympathy with such i'll proceed
ngs the whole party will be in measure held respon
paud his disurbers Of the public peace, de-
riders of the constitution and laws and do not hesitate
to proclaim their desire TO the Union dismembered,
even if violence and bloodshed should be necessary TO
effect that object They laer themselves that in Mr..
Seward they recognise CO. wo ker in the cause. Such
not the fact OF course That we assume he would
not willingly and deliberately take step that would pro-
mote project nefarOus. But is not man bound 10
dstrust the wisdom and rectitude OF his conduct
when greves his best and most judicous fends and
only sanctioned by people OF the class above described
1t will at to readers that these denun
Citations OF Mr. Seward, while they show the utter rot
tenness OF the wing party in New York. did not make
their appearance in the Presidents State organ until
after the election, and yet find echo in the Re-
pubic On the contrary, the special organ took to
tell only few days before the election that il ardenty
desired the OF the wings of New York. Seicdrd
,sed as they We noted the extraordinary decara
ton al the time, and in il plain proof that the ad
ministraon preferred aboliionized party victory to
the maintenance OF the compromise principles on which
itprofes.es 10 stand.
