similar resolution will probably be presented there
also; and il may be adopted. The Democratic
| party in the North, represented by the Albany
Argus, Boston Post PennsylUGRiaB, and their
hackers, is trying very hard to bring itself up TO
this ark and ii the effort prove succeesful the
resolution will be adopted. II so, very large por-
tion Of the party will inevitably go over TO the sup
port of the northern candidate, and the Democratic
nominee be thus defeated. II the resolution should
be rejected the convention would be broken up
without any nomination; else northern candi-
date would be selected ''-Nep York Times.
The above specuatons significant. II is by
no means certain that such resolution as the
Times supposes will be introduced into the next
National Wing Convention, or what disposition
will be made Of it, if there is. But granting there
will be- and that it will be rejected, we think the
Times has failed to sketch correctly the conse-
quonces that must follow from such a result The
southern Wings would then undoubtedly withdraw
in body from the convention and very likely the
northern delegation would proceed to make a nomi-
nation without them. But that there would be the
slightest chance for such nomination to succeed
there is no probability.
Such resolution introduced into the Democratic
Convention would pass, but no ''yery large por-
tion of that party would go TO the support of
the northern candidate" in Consequence Free
soil Democrats may be ready enough to encourage
abolition Wings with such a hope, but they will
never fulfil it, We should think such Wings
would have learned a lesson on that subjSst before
this When and where have the Whig party
ever received help from such a source? In this
State the Democrats have caught many Aboi-
tionists who used to be Wings, but rarely indeed
have the Wings gained Free soil Democrat. 1t
was said last year, after the secession at Syracuse
that fifty thousand Free-socrs would vote the
Syracuse ticket, but the prophecy proved utterly
false, and this year, the Free-soil Democrats
have pledged themselves at Syracuse 10 sup-
port the nominee of the National Conyen-
hon Governor Johnston, in the recent Penn
sylvania election, courted the Free soil sup-
port, but he gained no Free-soi votes, and lost
many Whig votes by that means. Wimot and
his disciples went gainst him, and voted for Big
ler, who had openly proclaimed his adhesion TO
and approval of the Compromise measures Fugi-
tive Slave law, and all. So in Ohio, Chase the
Abolitionst, supported the regular Democratic
ticket. The Donaldson and Greer correspondence
shows the readiness of both him and Giddings to
unite with the Democracy in the next Presidential
contest. In Massachusetts, the Free -soilers and
Abolitioniss are in open and shameless league
with the strongest kind of Hunker and Compromise
Democrats. Their united votes sent the ultra Alb
olitionist Charles Sumner, to the United States
senate. There never was greater fallacy than
the supposltion that any portion worth counting,
OF the Democratic party, will, under any circuln-
stances, support n Whig any other northern
candidate. That element, therefore, in the calcu-
lation OF the Times, may well be left out.
There is another element equally i'm ,ortant
which it has not taken into the account The SC
cession of the southern delegates in body from
the next Whig National Convention, and the no,ni-
nation of a northern candidatc would amount to
dissolution of the Wing party. No Whig elcc-
tor would be bound by his allegiance 10 the Whig
party to vote for sectional candidate thus nomi.
mated. In such an event, if tho convention of the
Democratic party should endorse the Compromise
measures, that would become the great Union party
of the country, warriug against sectionalism at
both extremties against abolitonism at the
North, and disunonism at the South; and hum
dreds of thousands of northern Wings would vote
for their nominee in preference 10 any sectional
candidae, For the success Of sectional candi-
date would inevitably terminate the existence OF
the Confederacy. While therefore he would gain
comparatively few Free solers from the Demo
orats, he would lose such mulitudes Of Wings
that he must inevitably be defeated. Upon the
supposton of the introduction and rejection of the
resolution proposed by Gov, Brown, in the TThig
Convention, and its consequent disrupticn and the
nomination oi northern candidate; neither Penn
sylvania, nor Ohio, nor othe7 northern Whig
States we could name, coul.ti be carried any more
than they could by ite adoption.
The nominatiCn by fraction OF the convention
oi northerr, man, after the rejection of such a
resolutlor, would be desperate and hopeless
game, which but the most desperate men,
reduced to the last extremity of political despair,
would ever think of playing. 1t would be at best
crusade against the Union, desti to an over
whelming defeat.

New Orleans Picayune, which never permits bit
OF genuine humor to escape it's perspicacity, has
rescued from oblivion the following anonymous
paragraph
"Names do make difference in things, no
doubt. AT least most people think so, and act in
accordance with the supposition. Certain defects
