THE DEMOCRACY OF NEW yoPK

We have already declared ourselves not satisfied
with the refusal OF The New York Democratic Conven
ton TO pass the resolution, avowing their adherence &c
the compromise settlement 1t is proner that we sboulc
state that all the National Democratic papers of New
York, including the Albany Argus, staunch frienc
OF Southern Rights, have avowed their determination
to stand by the platform erected
We repeat, that we look hopefully to the future ac
ton OF the New York Democracy, though we are la
from sastled with then presen action, and shall look
vgIIantly 10 their future moyements.-En Enquirer OF
Saturday.
1t is extremely edifyIng to contrast the dove
like mildness of our neighbour when he treats oil
the rottenness OF the Northern Democracy with the
savage ferocity of his commentaries upon the
shortc omings of the Northern Wings. The
above is specimen of his wondrous kindness to
the "Natural Allies" of New York, who, in their
late conclave at Syracuse, under the dictation of
John Van Buren,, refused to stand upon the COM
promise measures. A Northern Wing journal,
the New York Express. takes the Enquirer to task
for its virtual adhesion to the Syracuse Conven-
ton, in the following apt style:
The RICHMOND (Va.) ENUoRER expresses its content
with the New York Barnburner Syracuse PLATFORM
1t cannot quite get laying the table the resou-
ton OF MIR. Fowler, prououncng the COMPROMISE
measures finally settled, but it does get it, never
theless, npon the ground that the Wings woise off
than the Democrats
Now this is not SO and let not this deluson be
palmed off upon the Southern Democracy for if there
be any aSooly headed party in this State is the
Democratic party, in which John Van Buren, and his
cohorts have full sway. All the resolutions about the
compromise bills they have assented 10 we're passed in
1850, PRIOR to the Fugitive Slave Act, and in 1851
their leaders re approving these resolutions, put their
approval expressly upon the ground that it did not in
clude that Act, so important to the South.
The Wings in this State sounder, CATER,
more conservative and national, than the Democrats
are on all questions Federal as well as State. They
do not, party, whatever may be the exceptions in
tend or desire to open aggitate slavery mat
ers and they will not do; and in committing them.

1t the Richmond Enquirer thus turns recreant to
Southern passions and preudces. and thus goes over
10 the van Bnren democracy OF New York, we sha

Neay Railroad Scheme

The Winchester Virginian aludes, in the fol-
our Eastern ports with the Ohio river by rail-
road
The advocates of the Manassa' Gap Railroad, we
are told, look Orward to Its connection with the Bal
tlmore and Ohio Railroad near Cumberland, through
the Boomery Gap. That route was suggested in the
Vlrginlan, making Winchester point, some two
years ago. Such an Improvement if united with the
Richmond road near FREDERICKSBURG. would form a
shorter connection between Richmond and the Ohio
than that by the contemplated Central railroad and
bring A,IeSandrla, by some thirty or forty miles
er to Wheeling, than Baltimore BY making this
LINK, virginia might avail herself of the benefit of
seven millions OF foreign capital expended within her
limits.
1t will not escape attention that this project in
wolves the extension of the Manassas Gap rail-
road down the Valley to Winchester The next
proposition will doubtless be to push the same road
up the Valley to Staunton; and thus the large
expenditure of the State on the Blue Ridge Tunnel
be rendered nugatory. We have never entertain
ed much doubt, since the charter of the Manassas
Gap road was granted, that it would ensure rail.
road connection between Staunton and Winches-
ter.
Whilst upon the topic of projected railroads
we may mention that the surveys ordered by the
Virginia and Tennessee railroad Company, of the
route from that road to the Ohio, have, as we learn
been completed, and the results are deemed high
y satisfactory The Company, it may be pre-
sumed, will prefer a strong claim before the Lee
gislature for the Ohio connection, and, as the
interests of the "South West" and ''South Side
are obviously concerned in its success, it cannot
fail to be powerfully sustained
