ashamed To descend into practical particulars.
The first we hit upon is in the speech of Mr..
ADAMS, of Lowell, who "spoke strongly in
favor of coalition :"
" He did so because he believed il would be the
means of promoting the great objects which gave
10 Free soilism its distinctive character. He stg-
matized the Wing party as the supporters of the
Fugitive Slave law. lie was in favor still OF
the principles of the Buffalo platform, which would
stand forever. When the Buffalo platform goes
down, all that is left of human rights must go down
with it."
Mr.. DODGE, Of Cambridge, abused the
Wings, and chaunted the praises of the De
mocratic party, whose past was described as
bad enough, but who have "alded in electing
CHARLES SUMNER" and are now knowing In
an opposite direction to the Wings" The
Wings, we know, adhere to the Compromise,
and we have Mr.. DoDGE's word for it that in
Middlesex, Massachusetts, the Democrats 90
against the Compromise. The same gentle
man specifically sets forth the terms Of the CO.
alition:
% He was in favor Of coalition if the Democratic
part Of the general ticket should be favorable to
Free-soil principles in favor of coalition now, too.
because il was necessary to back up Mr. Sumner,
as he would be exposed to enough opposition at
Washington, without having fire in the rear; if
the Wings should be allowed to get into power they
would instruct Mr.. Sumner, and if they did not
thus control him, they would at least affect his in
fiuence in the Scnate''
There is no installing this. The Free soil
ers stuck to their colors the Democrats hauled
down theirs, and surrendered a purpose.

THE REPUBLIC.
The Pennsylvania Democracy.

The New York Epenitg Post has signif-
cant article on the iealousies and chickering's
which now mar the happiness and the prospects
of the Pennsylvania Democracy. The Post
admits that Pennsylvania "wll be very
close State at the best" and that ono candi-
date can aspire TO large majority there;" and
ON this ground ii administers petty smart les
son to both of 'the hostile factions" that now
divide the party of which our contemporary
is very able champion. In his view, Mr..
BUCHANAN and Mr.. CAss are both wrong in
pressing their pretensions, with no chances of
success; and their friends are ll-advised in per
hitting themselves to struggle for result that
cannot possibly occur. Hear the Post:
"But very small proportion, if any, of the
opponents of Mr.. Buchanan anticipate or desire
the denomination of Mr.. Cass. They know, as
we'll as Mr.. Buchanan friends do, that Mr. Casss
weakness in New York and in the South is
enough to prevent his name from being seriously
canvassed again in National Convention, were
there no other objections to the choice.''
And again, on Mr.. CAss's rival:
"Mr. Buchanan cannot perceive that, in this
struggle for the Presidency, he is pursuing de-
luslonJ ana very expensive one ueluslon winch
is dstractng the Democratic party most unpro-
htably, which is opening daily new springs of
bitterness in Pennsylvania, and which, unless
speedily abandoned, must place the Democracy OF
that State in hopeless minority"
Very complimentary, certainly, to Democratic
acuteness and sincerity But there is yet
another hit, that is really too good to be lost
''Any one but Mr.. Buchanan, and perhaps Mr..
Forney must perceive that it is hardly within the
range of possibility for the Democrats to present
any candidate for the Presidency from Pennsylva
MIA who, in the first place, could get delegation
from the State that would support him in good
faith, and in the second place. who could carry the
State if he got the nomination
Only think of the admission that 'good
faith y is an unknown article in the ranks of
the great Democracy of the Keystone State !!
The imputation, had it proceeded from our pen,
would have been pronounced libel. But

The Syracuse Outrage.

We publish in another column full particu-
lars of the recent reasonable outrage at SYRIA
cuse. 1t is the natural consequence Of the doc
trines which have been inculcated by the Abo-
lition orators, and the hgher-aw newspapers
of New York. 1t is a case of armed resist
ance to law of the United States, coupled no
doubt with anecedent and contemporaneous
declarations on the part of the actors in the out
rare that the law should never be executed
where they could prevent it. This is the usual
bravado of the ruffiaus who perform these deeds,
and there is no reason to suppose that it was
wanting on this occasion.
We perceive that some of our contempora-
ries differ from Judge KANE and Mr.. Justice
GRIER in their view of the law of treason.
With all sincerity, weshould advise the higher
law sympathizers Of the North to take their
law from the Bench rather than the newspa-
pers. They will learn some day to their cost
that the Supreme Court of the United States
understands. the law of treason, and that jures
will find verdcts according TO the law and the
evidence and their oaths.

TEXAS BEEF.-It is some time since the bu-

from Texas to this city, has become an item ofim-
portance, not only in the trade of that State, but in
the returns of our own markets. Every steamer
brings its cargo Of the article, and we glad TO
the trade steadily increasing. The cattle in
Texas have many claims to our patronage as
those of the Attakapas. They raised in the
came manner, living in half savage state on broad
plains and wide prairies and attaining to great
size and strength whilst acquiring such quantities
of that fine grained, tender flesh that feasts the eye
of the amateurs, and enables us to dispense with
stalls and stall fed animals. We have often sceu,
in the depth of winter, the beautiful praries Of
western Texas, droves of beeves, each of astonish
ing size and splendid proportions, in fine corr

The MARYLAND Election,

The Baltimore Patriot, in noticing the re
suit of the recent election, says:
"In this view of the contest and the result there
ia every thing TO encourage US, because the great
point which it settles is, that the majority of the
voters of the district cordially approve the course
pursued by President FILLMORE in the administra-
ton of the General Government, and by their votes
have signified their determination to advocate and
support it.
ain this they did right. There are reasons which
rise above the ordinary claims Of party why the peo
pie of Maryland should support President FILL
MoRE's Administration, and it is important that that
determination should be made known. These rea-
rise out of the questions which threaten to set the
law at defiance, and even to disturb the harmony of
the Union The people of Maryland, with but few if
any dissenting voices, approve the course President
FILLMORE and his Administration have taken on
these important questions 1t is not a silent APP
proval which they should give. They know that
the President has done right. They know that he
is abused North and South for what he has done.
In the North, because he has shown himself above
sectional prejudice, and placed the success Of his
Administration on its firmly unfolding and exc
cutting the laws. In the South, he ia abused be-
cause he is a friend of the Union, and will be
found, under every trial, to support and uphold it
in all ts integrity. Thus the abolihonists and fac
tonsts of the North join their voices with those Of
the secessionists and disunioniss of the South ia
censure of President FILLMORE and his Admins
tration.
'Do not the people of Maryland believe that cen
sure is unjust, that, seeing from whom it comes,
that it is in TRUTH praisc1 They do believe SO, and
they should give force to that belief by their votes
They have done SO in the recent election. They
have thus recorded their appreciation of President
FILLMORE and his Administration, and they will
take pride-we make no venture in saying SO for
them--in future elections in renewing that appro-
baton by clectng only to Office who are
friends and supporters of President FILLMORE and
his Administration"

Wisconsin whIo Convention.

The Wing Convention of Wisconsin, Just
held at Madison, adopted resolutions in favor
of internal improvements, protection of Ameri-
can industry, and generally in support of the
Fugitive Slave law and the existing National
Administration. The last were as follows:
"Resolred, That we will support all the provi-
sions of the Constitution, and all laws of Congress
passed the subject of slavery, and declared con
stiutona by the judicial tribunals of the country;
nevertheless, we deem it the unqucstonable right
Of every citizen to the merits Of every en-
actment, and if found to be unjust oppressive, or
of doubtful expedency, to advocate their modifca-
ton or repeal.
'Resolrcd, That the present National Admins
tration is entitled to the confidence of the hgs of
Wisconsin, for the consummatc ability manifested
in the management of our affairs with foreign gov
ernments its sympathy with the oppressed Of other
lands, and its advocacy of public policy SO i'm
perativcly demanded by the agricultural, manu-
featuring, and commercial interests of the whole
country"
The proviso in the former of these resolutions
is needless, so far as the affirmation Of prin-
ciple is concerned, while it certainly adds
nothing to the force of the expression of adher-
ence to the Compromise The approval of the
course pursued by Mr.. FILLMORE and his
Cabinet serves to show in gratifying manner
that Wisconsin is not wholly abandoned to the
multifarious isms with which its name has been
too often identified.

sThe President e message, at the opening of the

plainly his own and the unanimous opinion ofall
those associated with him in the Executiv admin

'are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-

measures should be regarded in principle as
a finalsettlement OF the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
we're not free from imperfectons, yet, in their
mutualde pendence and connexion, they formed
a syatem OF compromise the most concilatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
'oplnions, and that therefore they should be adj
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstratethe necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. Thatopinion 80

will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace ofthe country requiresthis; the security Of
the Constitutionrequires this; and everyconsde
ration of the public good demands this. II the

The following anecdote is told of Judge
STORY and his successor upon the bench:
cit was Judge Story's habit, after the session of
the court on his return to Cambridge, and before
the publication of the reports, TO submit the
decided to the class for argument. On one occa-
sion Judge Marshall had delivered the opinion Of
the court, Judge Story dissenting. When the
points were before the class, Mr. Curtis took the
same positions assumed by Judge Story on the
bench; and that eminent man, on his return to
Washington, said TO Judge Marshall that, if the
case had been argued with half the ability before
the court that it was before the class the decision
would have been reversed. And added the
Judge, b. II. Curtis, the young man not yet adj
mitted to practice, who made that argument, will
yet stand at the head ofthe New England BAR"
That prediction has been verified, and the
student occupies the seat his distinguished in
structor SO well filled.

Senator DOUGLAS is at the Astor House, in
the city Of New York. He appears to be NOV
ing in earnest, and we should advise his rival
DEMOCRATIC aspirants for the Presidency TO be
looking about them. Now we hear Of him at
his birthplace in Vermont, telling the sover-
eigns of the fashion in which he will carry on
Cabinet-making. Next we see him at Saratoga
the observed of all observers, hob.a nobbing
with all creation, and winning golden opinions
from all sorts Of people. Anon, he is at Tam
many Hall, pouring oil on the agiated waters
of Democracy. Then he turns up at the agri-.
cultural fair of the Empire State, and astonshes
the farmers by his talk about crops and cattle
and day or two afterwards he is at another
fair in Ohio, and now dividing the caresses of
Barnburners and Old Hunkers at the Astor
House. We should not be surprised if the
celebrity Of his movements, and the success of
his operations, should embarrass Mr.. BUCHANAN
and Mr.. CAss very seriously. 1t looks very
much as if he were spreading his nets wide,
and if he does not catch as many larks when
the skies fall as most any one Of his DEMO
CRATIC friends, it will not be his fault.

From the Winchester (Va) Republican.


The resolutions adopted by the Wing Convention
of Charlottesville, approving of the patriotic Ad-
ministration of President FILLMORE, are an unmis-
taxable evidence of the sentiment of the party in
this State. The present able Chief Magistrate of
the country is undoubtedly the choice of the Vir-
ginia Wings
The substitute resolutions that were offered made
a regular nomination of Mr.. FILLMORE for the next
Presidential term. These were not adopted, on
the ground of inexpediency. positive nomina-
ton was doomed premature at this time, however
much the action of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Mas
sachusetts in expressing their preferences for Gen.
Scott and Mr.. Webster, might warrant such a
course.
When the proper time arrives, Mr.. FILLMORE
will be nobly sustained by the party in this State.
The resolutions, adopted, declare him to be en-
titled to our continued con fdence and support This
is significant Of intentions for the future, and,
without being q pslpablc nomination, is the same
thing in effect. The resolutions chiefly de-
signed to chow the national, Union position as
sumed by the Wing party in the State, as clse-
where They declare, in plain words, that one
will be supported whose fidelity TO the Union, the
Constitution, and. the measures Of Adjustment, is
not beyond all doubt. The party that takes this
stand must win its way to the estimation Of all.
