..@ The Position Parties In New York.
Although the formal record Of the doings Of the dem
ocatic and wing State conventions just held in New
York is before u.s. still it clear enough that the
action OF the two bodies intended TO make faith
full acquescence in the Compromise final settlement
of The sectional controversy leading issue between the
two parties In so doing the democrats and wings Of New
York have followed the line Of party policy adopted by
their respective parties in Pennsylvania, and generally
through the northern States.
The democratic convention has fully pledged the dem
ocratc party of the State to unite with the democracy Of
the country in National Convention. and TO support
cordially the candidates nominated by that body ac-
cording 10 democratic usage. 1t has declared that
the federal constitution is alike obligatory on the
people and on the several States, and that every
quiremen of that instrument and every duly enioned by
it, US, be sacredly enforced II has declared the Com
promise measures TO be settlement by Congress" Of the
sectional questions Ii has pronounce that settlement 10
be matter OF eongrdtation 10 the county, and has dep
rseated all further sectional ogitaton. These resolutions
as 10 the compromise having been adopted by
the convention of last year, before the fugitive law bad
been placed the satulebook. though after It's form
and character known, this convention, in order to
remove all possible doub, Of their application TO that law
rs il now stands has been careful declare that their
views and principles are now approved and reairmed
And finally the convention in behalf of the democratic
party of New York has avowed its " fraternity with
and lis devotion the great principles OF the democratic
party OF the Unon" as SET forth in the Baltimore resou
tons of $780, 1884, and s4s which declare "that all e
forts Of the aboonss others, made to induce Congress
70 iaieere u questions Of slavery, or 10 take inepen
steps in relation thereto, calculated to lead 10 the most
alarming and dangerous consequences and that all such
efforts have inevitable tendency to diminish the happi
ness OF the people and endangu the stability and per-
naneney Of the Union and ought net to be eouenanod
by any friend of our political institutions"
II appears that the resolutions embracing all these dec
laatons were after full debate, adopted in the conven
ton by unanimous pote II is obvious that they fully
pledge the New York democracy 10 cordial cooperation
with the national democracy TO carry out its ancient
policy and principles the basis of faithful acquies-
cence the Compromise An additional and more spe-
ca declaration TO that effect appears have been deemed
unnecessary nexpedent by the convention and though
offered by the minority Of the committee on resolutions.
and sustained by large vote, not finally adopted
The character and action of the wing convention may
be summed up in few words 1t is not denied that the
principles and policy of Mr. Senator Seward were en-.
were in the declarations put forth in the caucus-ca in
pursuance OF which the convention assembled In re-
gard to national policy the convention merely resolved
that "e action Of The respective State committees and
legislative State committees IN their action at Albany, was
The result OF honorable and patriotic devotion 10 the con-
stuon and the best interests Of the whole people, and
that is approved and adopted by his conuenon and
that the candidates put in nomination deserve, and will
receive the united support OF the whole wing party"
Thus appears tina, the whole wing party of New York
is pledged TO unite upon platform which has already
been generally denounced by southern wings "sub-
II possible designation nasmuch as il excludes
all mention OF the Adjustment, expressly atirms the
VIII ole doctrine OF the Wllmot Proviso and enumerates
citation for the repeal modification OF the fugitive law
as one OF the rights If not of the duties of every wing
voter" Thus, neither reference "to the cardinal and
geabe doctrines" on the slavery question, of the
wbig party Of New York, declared in its State con.
yenon OF last year, nor to its full and unequivocal APP
proval of Mr. Stewards course is needed 10 demonstrate
hat hostility to the Compromise, and determination to
reopen the questions has settled, has become the
allyng cry Of the wing party In New York. it is in
ohio, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Vermont
Against all such fatal agitation the democratic party
now and hereafter at the North and at the South in its
State organizations and its national organizations, must
take its ground and unfur its banner il it will
either the union OF its own ranks or the union
ieace, and safety Of the country.
