The following extract from the Reso-

Free JelIersonian Democracy at Mont

OF the motives which called that " hon
orable body" together -
ReSoiccd, that 4" We shall oppose the
Vine PARTY; as for principles, it now
processes none"
1t seems then that wing principles are
to receive no opposition from the &C,

sefUcS are to be the sole object Of attack.
There are a good many broad should>
ers, and muscular arms in the whr
ranks, and we advise our " accommodae
ton opponents, for their own sakes,
TO be as Pickwickian as possible in their
pugnacious threats.
But the Courier contains quite diff
ierent charge against the wings than a
want of principles AT convention
of the Free Democracy at Rutland
lately, the Courier says; -
A series of capital nominations was
presented to the people, but no resolu>
lions were adopted. Mr.. Nicholson, for
the Committee, wittily remarked that
our principles we're we'll known, and
that il we struck out new doctrine.

they had done before !"
If the wings have stolen all the pfin>

then il is not to be wondered a, that the !

Tue WINGS OF NEW YoRK-The Leg
islative Wing Committee at Albany have
succeeded in efleeting a complete settlement
of all difficulties between The several diyi.
sions of the party, and the result is a call for
Wing State Convention, which has been
signed by the Legislative, Syracuse and Uli-
ca committees. The call occupies about
two-thirds Of a column. The following ex-
tract will give good idea of its tone; "The
Wings Of this State will abide by the Com
stituIion Of the United States in all its parts,
and they will receive its true meaning and
construction from judicial tribunals il has
created for that purpose, and always sustain
and defend such decisions as the law of the
land until they are reversed by the same ri-
bunals. The laws Of Congress and the State
Legislatures pronounced constitutional by
the judicial tribunals, must be enforced and
implicitly obeyed." The call endorses the
National Administration, and says It is fully
entitled to the confidence and support Of the
Wings of New York The State Conven-
ton is to meet at Syracuse on the 18th Of

FACTS AND TRUTus TO DE CoNsID-
Erred This paragraph from the Albany
Register is pregnant with truth aud in
structon, and we commend it to every
reader -
The accounts from all parts Of the
country are TO the effect that the wheat
harvest is 5ountiiu. The old crop is
not yet exhausted, but heaping bins of
ii are stored away in our granaries. So
1t seems we are to have redundance ad-
ded to a surplus. The cotton crop OF
last year, if not large, commanded a
large price. How happens it, then, that
we have been running in debt all the
while to Europe, over and above the
large amount of stocks VIC have sent
over, and the vast amount of gold and
specie we have shipped There is
something radically wrong-a screw
loose somewhere. The money market,
with all the influx from California, is
getting tight. These things should not
be so in the midst of perabundance.
There must be some means contrived
TO pay up as fast as we huv, or we must
stop buying. The California gold goes
to pay the laborcfs of Europe, not ours.
1t goes to buy European corn to feed
foreign laborers, and not to pay for our
wheat No, ours may rot in the bins,
for all their buying it in Europe. They
are getting rich out of us. BY employ.
ing our own laborers and feeding them,
and keeping our money at home, we
might enrich ourselves.

days previous to his nomination, declared
that lie "agrecd with Mr.. Peck in oil tho
positions assumed by the latter gentleman
with reference to the fugitive law, and the
Vermont hebeus corpus act. The Accom-
mediation Democracy seem to get very poor
accommodations from their Suberna oriai
candidates" The Bratledorn' Eagle
speaks Of "Anolher man done taking rye"
as follows -" Jasper Rand Esq, Of Berk-
shire, the nominee of the Accommodation
Democracy in Franklin County, for Sena-
tor, declines being candidate. We opipe
that when that crazy old ship, free soilism,
finally sinks, all the more knowing rats will
be found TO have escaped the awful
plunge"

provnl. In the mean time, I'VE pronounce the
above a icdhtoa and malicious untruh.
The remainder Of the paragraph
from which we quote, shows that the Post is

GES. WlLsoS.-It will be remembered
that Gen. James Wilson, formerly NC.
from New Hampshire, was badly burnt
during the great fire at San Francisco.
The Coaloocook Transcript publishes a
letter from The General TO a friend in Pc
lerboro, in which he says;
1t is fact that | did get awlully burned,
and came very near being burned to

and some personal courage and presence
OF mind, have escaped with my life and
shall not suffer any permanent injury. My
hands and face were terribly burned and

getting along very well and shall escape
without any scars.

The FuGIrIvE SLAVE LAw.-The New
York Tribune regards further agitation Of
the Fugitive Slave Law, at present, as use
less. a late number OF that paper has the
following:
1--WE look in vain for the probability of a
repeal or modification of the Fugitive Slave
Law. The law we suppose is destined to
remain on the Statute Book. We could
wish it were otherwise. We could wish tc
have it modified in many particulars, espcc-
tally by the introduction OF II jury trial a
mong its provisions. But there is not the
least Indication that such change will be
made. The next Congress will not do il,
There is now here great party demanding
il. Public sentiment regards it with com
parative indifference. There is no sucl
overwhelming popular movement in favor
of repeating or changing this law as Their,

tension of slavery. How thon can this Law

ANOTHER Reform -Several attempts
were made by Wings at the last Cen
gress to secure modification Of the
Tariff so as to afford at least n moderate
degree of protection to the interests OF
the country.-These all failed, and
by the aid Of Northern locofoco and
coalition votes. But the frauds under
the present Tariff were so palpable that
even a locofoco Congress could not re-
fuse to interfere, and an act was passed
providing for appraisers at large, so as
to secure as equal valuations in Ameri-
can ports as possible. This was well,
as far as il went ; but we are happy to
say that the Secretary of the Treasury,
by recent circular, has given instruc>
tions even more valuable, as they strike
nearer the root Of these frauds, lie has
ordered all exporters in foreign coun-
tries TO submit their bills to the Ameri'
can Consuls in the ports from which the
goods are sent, in order 10 secure his
attestaton to the correctness of the
value affixed TO the goods. We hail
these measures as the beginning OF a
reform which every commercial man
sees is absolutely necessary. But they
are only beginning. America cannot
save herself from bankruptcy, much
less thrive, until the importation of for
eign fabrics is reduced at least to an
equality with domestic exports One
hand must wash the other we must sell
