wu1c COALITION IN NEW YORK

| IT, I1;o, of the Silver Grays - and I" Woolly
Heads ), the two wings of the Wing party In new
VorI hos been consummated, so far as the leaders
of he resnective factions could effect 1.-THE Legs-
f.,;ve committee, and the two central committees
having united in a call for Wing State Convention
The terms of this coalition indicate the entire suren
der of the Silver Grays." or National Union Wings
to the hirengs of Seward, The approval OF the Al
bany Journal and the delight Of the New York III
bune, are evidence sufficient for any Southern man
that it is a victory of Sewardism. 49,.
| The call for a Convention lays down PIauoln
pnon which the two factions are expected to unhe.
We give two extracts from this call as indicative o.
its true character, and as particularly Interesting
! the South: 80
"Tbe Wbiqs of the State as body, are infexibly
opposed to the subsection Of any territory OF the nj
ted States, now free, to laws imposing involuntary
servitude, except punishment for crlme ana hey
rejoice that proposition to that effect Is no" Pehu
ing or is likely to be presented"
.. The laws of Congress and of the State Leglsla-
lures pronounced constitutional by the judicial troo
nails, must be enforced and implicitly ooeyea.
while this is cheerfully recognized the duty OF ALL
as subjects of the laws yet the rights OF citzens, as
voters are equally undenabe, and they are Tree to DIS
cuss with full and mutual regard to the rights ana
interests of all parts of the confederacy which 1t Is
as necessary now to maintain, it was indisPensa-
Bile to achieve, the blessed union OF these States 1t
is their undeniable right to discuss the exPediency
of such laws and the propriety of any OF their pro-
Visions and to seek, by CONSTITUTIONAL means, 'heir
repeal or notification
There it is in full the call announces that New
York Wings are infexibly in favor of the Provlso,
whenever it can be made practical lssue and gives
full permission the slavery agltatlon and
effect repeal of the fugitive slave law if possible.
There would have been need OF laying down such
generaliies, except to leave the door open for any
course the leaders may fit to pursue. But above
ALL the Compromise is carefully avoided, at least the
portion of it advantageous to the South and the test
which the Southern Wings require OF their Northern
alies-an endorsement of the Compromise-has not
been met. platform wide enough to embrace the
g. - aDA Tho - CNrarc -
must of necessity be concession 10 the former. We
ask the Wings Of North Carolina to mark this
ment of their allies. 1t is faught with danger to the
South. vile coalition has been openly consumma-
ted bargain and sale has been effected and the
elevation of Sewardite to the Presidency is the ulti
mate object.
The coalition, it is said, was received with much
qualification by President Fillmore, and presume
therefore that Seward has been taken into the good
graces of the President. The Republic, the organ of
the Administration, is loud in his commentator.
We are glad to know, however, that the more indie
pendent of the Southern Wing press, denounce this
combination. The Fayetteville Observer has taken
the lead in North Carolina against the coalition. and
the Baltimore American, and Petersburg Intelgencer
have done the thing in Maryland and Virginia.
The American says:
"We have no respect for such coalition as the
vote-mongers in New York have fabricated. 1t wants
soundness il wants honesty. 1t forms no basis upon
which the men that made it look their Sou thern
brethren honestly in the face. II is subterfuge
the part of some of its trainers and the part
of others.''
The Petersburg Inteigencer proclaimsit TO be ''a
cunnngly prepared trap, in which Seward, no doubt,
promised himself he would catch his opponents by
scores, and from W hich he would draw them
be used only as tools for the promotion of his own
ends"
We shall not pursue this subject farther at the
present time. We will say far ourselves, however,
that regard every coalition of this kind, by either
party with the freesoers, dangerous the South
and to the Union, and we shall acknowledge friendly
relations with party at the NUrth, that will not
come out openly before the world and proclaim its
real views and designs, and announce their determi-
nation 10 pursue and advocate such course will
give peace and quiet to the country, and it from
destruction. Colds. Rep. and Pat.
