We published, a few weeks since, the Resolutions
adopted by fhe Democrats in their recent 1Conven-
tion in that State. Those Resolutions are sound
They not only go for faithful execution and ac-
quiescence in al the compromise measures of the
last Congress-, but they deprecate Sc as disunon in
its worst form, the attempts of any party or class
stgmatize and denounce any portion of the Union OF
its domestic institutions '-and they announces, as
the New York Resolutions do, that the Democracy
which adopted them ready now, as heretofore, to
stand the noble and time-honored platform of the
Baltimore Conventions. In publishing these ,Reso-
lutions said 8. But the Registrars if one wrong
could justify another-will reply to this, that the
Democrats of Massachusetts formed coalition with
the Aboltionists, by which they elected Sumner to
the Senate, and carried the State. We admitted the
fact at the time, and dePlored and denounced it, but
the Massachusetts Democracy have recovered from
this unfortunate condition, and are now doing all they
can to atone for their grievous error The Register,
although it promised to So has never replied to our
article of the 10th September, exposing this New
York coalition; has it had the common fairness
inform its readers of the action of either of the De-
mocratic Conventions, in New York and Massachu-
sets, alluded to in this article. Its party interests
might suffer, if it should speak the truth and hence
it either misrepresents or is silent. .-.-a--
The Wings OF Massachusetts, held Convention
on the 10th inst, at which they adopted Resolutions
laudatory of the Union, complimented Mr.. Webster,
pledged themselves to support Mr. Fillmore in all''
his just and patriotic measures, and nominated the
Hon. Robert G. Winthrop for Governor. They make
alusion sohateuer, their ResoEutiors to The com
promise measures and so far from approving them,
and pledgng themselves TO faithful execution of
the ugtveslave law they declare that they are with
the New York Wings, on the Seward and Fillmore
platform. Here is the Resolution, in which they
endorse the New York coalition:
" Resolred, That the members of this Convention
have witnessed with unfeigned satisfaction the efforts
which have recently been made by the Wings of New
ork to bring about an intelligent, honest, and
dial cooperation among themselves, and with the
w higs of other States of the Union.' That we re-
oice that these efforts have been crowned with sue
cess, and have met the universal appreciation of the
Wing party throughout the country, and that We
heartily concur in the sentiments which have been
expressed by them the result of their consultations
and as the basis of their future action
The Raleigh Register of the 18th instant thus APP
proves these Resolutions and the nomination of Mr.
Winthrop: ....- .. ..
IS OF the resolutions adopted by the Convention,
The following have reference National affairs, and
We point TO them with pride ard pleasure, ndicat-
ng healthy and patriotic sentiment among the
higs of Massachusetts with reference to the cues
ion OF Slavery. Upon such platform can oil
'tand-and under that sign, We can easily conquer"
Having shown the nature of the Wing coalition in
New York, and the action of the Massachusetts
W higs, thus endorsed and commended by the Reg
ser, etus now who this favorite of that paper is,
Robert G. Winthrop. Mr.. Winthrop has been |
Ereesoiler and Abolitonist from the first. He !
opposed the annexation of Texas as saveholding
State he voted, in February, 1912, with Giddngs,
gainst motion to lay on the table petition present
d by the latter for dissoIving the Union; he votea
March of the same year, against Resolution GEN.
uring Giddngs for introducing Resolutions sane
loning murder and piracy the high seas by slaves
n the Creole case he voted against the New Mexi-
o and Utah bills, because they did not contain the
Simot Proviso; he misrepresented and slandered
outh Carolina, during the last session of Congress,
n relation TO her laws touching free negroes, and
erssted in utterng falsehoods the subject after
e had been informed that he was uttering them by
lr. Senator Butler; and o. he voted against the
lgitive-save law, and opposed it in debate with all
he vehemence and ability he could bring TO bear
gainstt ito In proof of this latter vote, quote
s follows from the Congressional Globe, vol. 81,
art I'd, page 1647:
6 The FUerrrvE-SLAvE BILL. The Senate resum-
the consideration of the bill provide for the
ffrctual execution of the third clause of the second /
ection of the fourth article of the Constitution of the

This, then, is the sheaNhy and patriotie'' senti-
ent which prevails among the Wings of Massa-
Iusetts and this is the platform upon which all -
IN stand, with this champion Of the Union, Robert t
Winthrop! Now, Just lock at TIE course of the
aegh Register and those who agree with it in these
ings, and then smother, if you can, your feelings
disgust and detestation. Here is Southern pa |,
II which denounces in breath, agitators and
all Southern men, who will not unqual-
eddy approve the " compromise measures, and laud
EN-, as whole, as the best measures ever devised
saving the Union and which, in the next breath,
yes its support to Northern for Office who has i
liformy acted with the Freesoiers and Abolionists,
I'd ,oho vored against the only Of these measures
