OF the Union.
These ars declarations OF principle broad, permanent.

The trumpet of the Empire State. instead OF the dis
eordant clamor which has many months panied the ear
and heart OF every Pairiol
The whix endorsement OF the action OF the Seward
convention gathers additional and most pertinent lorce
from the following sentiment uttered by Governor Hunt
in his letter accepting the Syracuse nomination In that
letter he said
The fugitive slaue ia,c could NOT haze been yell
sdsred, AND NEEDS ESSENTIAL MODIFICATION
The arrangement which was recommended at Albany
and which has been. we have shown, thoroughly en-.
dorsed at Syracuse by the wings OF New York. was thus
spoken Of by the Baltimore American and the Petersburg
Inlellgsncer. both OF them wing journals
The Baltimore American says:
The abstract right to discuss anything IS SO clearly
the right Of every body, that is hardly worth while for

nation But gentlemen, you choose to discuss TOOL

exercise OF what you call your right OF attack.
II seems to be moter OF conscience with these New
York politicians TO announce TO the world their right 10
make war upon their neghbors in a constitutional man
ner least in accordance with the letter OF the con-
siuon There laws passed not only in accordance
with the constitution but in obedience TO its direct and
specific nunctions; and these laws, we are told they
will regard 20 long they laws and remain the
statute book but that il is their right to repeal them 50

for such coalition as the votemongers in New York
have fabricated 1t wants soundness; it wants honesty.

The Petersburg Inteligencer says:
II is known that a split took place in the party last
year. on the occasion OF the nomination of Hamilton Fish
candidate for the office OF governor and that the
split wa: caused BY the iugi,iveslave bill, which was
approved and supported by the sver grays" and bit
teTy opposed by the Sewardes. 1t is not generally
known, though, that three committees have been for
months in conferences in Albany for the purpose of heal
ing the breach which thus occurred After many inter-
views and discussions together between the two State
committees il found impracticable for them to agree
ntefered and through it's influence adjustment of diff
fculies effected. and the terms of announced in
the publication from which have clipped the above.
We were very much grahed TO the noble stand taken
byGranser Duer, and their colleagues in the Syracuse
convention, in behalf OF the constitution and laws and
w. sid la. with ali their patriotism, they would
not have the 6rmness TO in the maintenance of
their position in the teeth Of the circumstances by which
an adversary far too willy, subtle, and powerful TO

retreat, Strange that OF exalted sentiments and OF
honorable names should permit themselves to be

tions and mapeuyrings Of the most notorious political
svildoes in the land! Our surprise however Is not
In the sentiments slavery which they have laid
before the public, we see Sewardism predominant:
..Ths Trail Of the serpent is them all"
