The Wing State 'Scas1 centrai n Committee and the
committees appointed by the Uti,a Convention a1d
by the whig members Of the Legislature, have
| united in a call for a State Convention. This
united call Is the result protractod consultation
met with profound sense Of their responsibilities.
They knew that their constituents de sired the cor
dial union OF the party it, as they beloved, it was
possible to effect such union without sacrifice of
| principle.
Such a union has been effected. The old land
marks ofthe party are distinctly recognized, while
more recent and more perplexing questions have
been frankly mot, and wisely and harmo oniously dis
posed Of Although there is distinct and emphatic
reteration of the nexible purpose of the wings of
New York to oppose every attempt to introduce
| emphati, reiteration of the often avowed 'whig
doctrine, that every State has the right to regn-
late its domestic affairs without interference
from other States or foreign countries. And while
acquiescence in and obedience TO all laws, ti-
tutionay passed. and whose validity is sanctioned
by the judicial tribunals of the land, is declared to
be the solemn duty Of every citizen, the right to
| freely discuss such laws, to seek their modif-
| cation and repeal, is roafirmed right not to
| be surrendered.
| The cordial and unanimous concurrence Of the
several committees in these propositions, not only
| afford gratifying indication Of the continued at
tachment Of the party to principles just in them
selves and o.vital to domestic harmony, but ofthe
desire OF their representatives. to effect a union
upon principles which every whig may sanction who

tionably wise, conciliatory and just
Wecannot doabt that this call will be responded
to by the wings Of the State in the same spirit
independent Of those upon which we have differed,
are at stake. The harmony of the party is n-
dispensable to the success Of those principles That
harmony is now effected. Let every personal con.
sderation be brought into subsection to secure the
triumph Of those principles.
From the Albany Argus, (Hunter Democrat) Aug, Al
1t is well known, here, at oil events that the TWO
whig State committees and the whig legislative
committee have been in consultation for several days
negotiating the terms of "Union OF the whg
party" Their labors were brought to a close on
Saturday, aud the result was union OF the three
committees in a call for Union whig State nom-
mating convention, to be held in Syracuse on the
18th proximo.
This call is accompanied by declaration Of Z" the
views and principles of the wings of this State,
they are understood by the three committees, ''in
relation particularly TO questions which now agate
the country" But the reader will look in vain in
this declaration, for any recognition of the compro
mise measures as final, even temporary settle
ment of these questions; on the contrary he will
find in them distinct nsgation OF any such idea
coupled with the rot less distinct afrmance of the
principle Of proyisoism. 1hat we have not misap-
views, is apparent enough from the tone and lam
guage of the Ereniag Joi1nut;--
"Whle acquiescence and obedience to all laws
stitutionay passed. and whose validity sanctioned by
the judicial tribunals of the land Is declared to be the
solemn duty Of every citizen the right to freely discuss
laws their modification or repeal is re-
affirmed as right not to be surrendered.
The cordial and unanimous concurrence OF the
raj committees in these propositions not only affords
gratifying indication Of the continued attachment of the
party to principles just in themselves and vital
domestic harmony but Of the desire of their representa-
;iyes to effect union upon principles which every whg
may sanction VINO holds sacred the principles of human
freedom and the liberty OF speech"
This srosut verhes the prediction, often made, that
the whg party of this state or ofany other Northern
state, cannot and will not unite the basis OF the
compromise. The whig union in this State, such as
it is, is on precisely the opposite basis. 50 We
6erstand it, and it will be generally understood.
In this respect, in all respects, the whg party of
this state now, as he retoiore occupy position of
distinct antagonism to the democratic party OF the
State and nation; and the issue thus rendered
the great national question Of the day, the latter
vii DO prompt to accept at the coming eloctioa.
That the result will be such as all true democrats
desire, We will not permit ourselves to doubt

circumstances have materially changed since the
separation az Syracuse; the exci.emens which thea
agiated the country, and threatened not only the
party, but the Union, with disruption, has IN
measure died away; the bitterness which il occa-

extension of slavery has come TO be regarded as

An important Pre- sden.ial election is fast ap-

State that the canal policy, which has been recstao-

more than agree upon the time and place Of hold

such a call would have indicated a good feeling,
