o We make the following extracts from this
Address:
..Tbat the Wings of the State, body, are IN
a;b1 oppOsed to the subsection Of any territory IF the
T;teG STATES no,v free, to h10s imposing involuntary
sry;txde except punishment for crime and they

,;9,e they unquai6edly acknowledge the right OF
orerv sovereign State to regulate its own municipal
;os,itutions in such manner its people may deem
most conducive their safety and happiness, with.
n"t interference, directly indirectly, by citizens OF
tber States, or subjects of other countries:
..That the laws of Congress, and Of the State Lee
;sJ.tures pronounced constitutional by the judicial
Tribunals, must be enforced and implicitly ooeyed
and that while this is cheerfully recognized as the
Jutv of ALL as subjects of the laws, yet the right OF
ii2ens as voters is equally undeniable to discuss
With full and mutual regard for the rights and lnte-
rests of all parts of the contederacy lwnch Is as ne
.ossarv now to maintain, it was indispensable TO
bieye the blessed MON of these States) the expo
Jency of such laws and the propre!y of any of their
nrovsions and 10 seek, By constitutional MEANS their
repe1l or modttcatton.
It will be seen, by the above, that the Wings of
New York have re-affrmed their attachment to the
wiImot Proyiso, and have declared, unequvocally,
that thew will continue to discuss the question of
and to seek the repeal or modification of the
uuitiye-save law. They refuse, in other words, to
endorse the Compromise, or to be bound by it; and
the Fillmore Wings have agreed to this decision, and
are thus committed, and out, to the schemes of
MI
ed by several measures of this Compromise, are to
acouiesce in it without a murmur, and must approve
It nnder pain of being considered traitors and sedi
tous persons while in the North, the right is re-
served by the friends of Fillmore and Seward, still
further to agate upon the question: and If possible,
to repeal the only of these measures which affords
auv thing like substantial justice to the South
A Convention of these agitators is to assemble at
Syracuse on the 18th of next month, when the plat
form above referred to will doubt be endorsed by
the w higs of the whole State, and the campaign
opeued. As the Richmond Enquirer well remarks,
the political movements in New York are deeply
interesting every portion of the Union more so, if
possible than those of South Carolina. That paper
says further:
sit is at the North that inveter and nsurmount-
able hostility to the Compromise exists The State OF
New York is the type of the whole non-slaveholding
portion of the Union. As her two political conven-
lions form coalitions and erect platforms, so will those
of all the Northern States. We confidently believe
that the Democratic Convention of that State will
thoroughly purge itself of heresy and incendiarism
will erect national platform, platform upon which
the friends of Union in that State will rally in over
towering numbers, and a platform which will be
model and example that will be followed by the Dem
ocacy of all the free States. We fear that the Wing
Convention will produce different combinations; that
bargain will be struck for local power, at the ex-
pense of the national harmony; that 1t will be COM
bnaton actually, if not avowedly, against the Com
promise, and against the rights and peace of the
South; and that the Wing platform of New Y ork
will be the Wing platform OF all the Northern
States. The Syracuse Conventions will decide the
complexion of the approaching Presidential canvass
We believe they will devolve again upon the Demo-
cratic party the task and the glory of saving the
Union.''
correspondent of the Washington Union, writing
flom Albany, thus notices this unhallowed union:
1.-The marriage between the wooy-heads Seward
ites) and svergrays (Fimoreites) is not of love
but of reason-the object being to keep nine millions
fmoneY in the family, and to cheat the hers-at-law
out of the estate. With the nine millions of money
New York might be made permanent Wing State,
and Mr.. Seward, having once secured his house,
would be in better condition to extend his acquisi-
lions In different directions. New ork will always
be the of his line of operation; that being once
broken. the fragments of his army would soon be
captured or destroyed.

the Hon. John G. Spencer, far back as last winter,
wrote series of skeleton resolutions which it was
his intention to have adopted by the Wing legislative
caucus in this very remarkable city. Mr.. Spencer
was far-sighted man. He wanted to heal the breach
early, but Thurlow Weed thought the time had not
yet come, and that Gen. Scott would be able to keep
the field till after the fall elections. The overture
was rejected; but the canal enlargement the political
power connected with 1t, and, above ALL the distribu
tson nne millions 0f money, rendered the union of
the sliver-greys and WOOL -heads matter of great
solicitude TO Governor Seward, who in this emergan-
cy felt willing (and was advised by Weed) to make
some very unmedning concessions secure some very
substantial benefits to hmselfand his sinking cause.
In accordance with these views, it was thought
