State Politics.

We have already alluded TO the hostile at,
uiudc assumed by two or three Whig Jour.
mails i'll this State towards the Administration.
Such condition of things is no doubt un 4
fortunate, and none the less so, that il has a
risen in part from sympathy with the diyi.
sions that have for some time existed in the
Wing party Of New York. We have other
duties to perform than to watch and mnule
with the quarrols of our neighbors. If Mr.
Seward has got into tro,ible with his own
constituents, let him settle his difficulties with
them alone, as he best can. To make his
troubles of national consequence or of &C n
sequence to particular section of the Uni
ion--is ridiculous. To or ose Mr.. Fill
MORE and his Administration. merely out of
sympathy with any individuals "ptivutcl
grlefs " and grudgcs, is piece of folly un
worthy of Nermonters. Such sympathy ind
the affairs of New York almost implies nm
faithfulrcss to the memory Of carrier times,
as it is certainly beneath Inc dignity Of Gill
zers Of an independent State.
WILLARD FILLMORE is Prcsilenr-hc is
Whg-and while his Administration is
true to the principles to which he owes his
elevation, he must be generously and I'M.
QuatVediy sustained. Any other course will
be fatal TO the Wing party in this State or
in any other State. Fortunately, the oppo-
silion Of which we have spoken comes en-
tirely from those no'therly Locofoco sections,
that have never been relied on for much
assistance in try ing imes and whose defcc.
ton can do us no very extensive injury.
Everywhere clso--in every stronghold OF
the Wing patly-lhe Administration has
been and will be fully sustained.
No shadow of reasonable excuse exists
for thus assaiing an Administration as truly
and decidedly Wing, as purely patrioc,nn-
tional, aud just to all sections as has ever ex-
listed since the days Of Washington, except
what has grown on, of the personal jealousy
and hostility of Mr. Seward and his partic-
uiar friends towards Mr.. FILLMORE. With
them it is 1urcly-and solely personal quar-,
rel. What do Nermonters care for the pet
~ gruages ana local rivaries of an aljoir.
ing State? If President FILLMORE is
treacherous or unfaiihful 10 the Wig party
in any particular. why have not his enemies
pointed il oui III professed Wings have
approved his first and only annual Message
no reasonable objection can be made against
his Cabinet. 1t is formed of the ablest and
most distinguished Wigs in The Uuion
Two-Mr. Webster and Mr.. Crittendcn-
were members of Gen. IIarrison's Cabinet
occupying the same positions they now do
hlr. Corwin, the fayorte o. the great West
is everywhere known as among the frs
of Wing Statesmen. Each of the olhei
members is hardly less capable, and in every
respect nncxcepiionable. What possible
reason, then, is there, for opposition, luke
warmuess, or questioning, On the part of any
sincere Whig-of any Wing from principle
and not from mere interest or policy2 w,
see none. There is none.
The Wings of Addison County, we arc
eure-whatever may happen olsewhcrc-wi
sIaad by the Administration. 1t is such ar
Administration as they labored hard to get
and though they have been almost entircl,
overlooked, in the distribution of Aonors ant
emoluments, their fidelity is by no means
shaken on that account And we fur,he
forewarn those who are enleavoring to SOW
discord and division, that they undcrstan,
little OF the real temper of Vermont Wings
if they expect 10 succeed in his Immature
warfare.
