fsnaics to be met; foe whose appetite 10 whetted
by what II foods on. The question has only ceased
to be sectional; must now abandon the Georgia
platform make it national. We must eat our
own brave words or meet Freesoilism-in conven-
ton, at the polls, anywhere, that right and duty
| suggests.
$50 far is the danger from being over, infinitely
rather would we fall back upon cooperation with
South Carolina, than abandon the Georgia plat
form with view to the revival Of the old parties as
they were. Such revival would amount to total
abandonment OF the constitutional rights of the
South. and deliver them up to the tender mercy Of
abolitionism. No more may we have Clay and
Webster, Cass and Buchanan. to calm the
storm OF passion and exact justiceJ No more may
the good and true of all parties rally in defence of
rights which the possessors do not value appre-
ciate Organize your old parties, and then free
soil will again raise its head above them both, and
who will answer for the result?
"The purposes, then, Of the Union party remain
ing unexecuted, the question is. how shall per-
feet them? We first reply. Our organization must
be NATIONAL based our platform is, upon the
Constitution. 10 form national organization we
must remodel one of the parties called Wing and
Democraiic-it matters little which name it goes
by after that is done. The question is, which can
we so remodel? That it ia not the National Wing
party is question settled by the voice Of the South
and that it is the Democratic party is point al
mort as well settled. 1t is almost beyond dispute
that our force in the Democratic Convention would
be irrssstible-that drive out both the
Freesoiler and Secessionis; and this the Southern
Rights party k~oto TO be true. Shall we exert our
power and thus perfect the purposes of the Union
party; or shall we slow the conventions to make
their nominations, and then embrace one or the
other. i zoe can? On the one hand. we may do the
country service in perfecting great national par
ty; on the other, we may split glorious party,
founded in the purest patriotism, into fragments.
We must pursue the course pointed out. or rely for
the preservation of the Union party upon a sepa-
rate organization, resting upon the hope that the
patriotic of both parties will abandon the ties of in
terest and association to unite with U.s."

has been, as far depended upon the Executive

United States free from political connexions with
every other country, to see them independent

Europe may be convinced we act for ourselves,
and not for others. This, in my Judgment is the

public tranquility, and destroy, perhaps forever,

We learn from the Boston Courier that Mr..

carrying out the "masterly COALITION in STYLE

afterwards addressed anti slavery meetings in va
rious parts Of ne State using his efforts to defane
the Constit alton and its supporters, and he has, on
more than ono occasion, pronounced the Fugitive

young aboiitionist is to be rewarded by our
Democratic Governor with judicial office The

any practice at the Suffolk bar, and he is entirely

From the -dlerandyia GaSsff,


The resolutions passed by the Wing Central
Committee of Maryland in relation TO the Prcs.
dent, doubtless speak the sentiments Of a very large
majority of the Whigs of the Southern States Mr.
FILLMORE, in the South, is the choice of the Wings
for the next President, and, If their opinions and
sentiments could prevail there would be no diff.
Guilty whatever to his nomination for re- election
to the high Office which he go worthily fills
They see in him man who has been tried and
who, therefore, they know to be faithful and com
petent. They have proofs of his patriotism, his
ability his uprghtness, and his love for the Union,
and they are, therefore, ready and anxious to
have him again a candidate, on whom they can be-
stow their surrages with chcerfuness and pleasure
With this feeling, however, we have not yet seen
in the Wing party in the South any disposition to
depreciate the merits, underrate the elaine of
other distinguished Wings who have been spoken
of in conncsion with this subject Wha the
Wings of the South want, and what they will have,
in any candidate proposed to tbon is sOundr,ess az
to the constitutional rights Of tho South and a dc
termination to uphold the laws Of the land That
is SINE qua non. 1t ia proper that the Wing party
all over the country should know this We be-
hcyo they do, and will act accordingly.

Mr.. + IL Aubrey, the justly distinguished Santa
Fe trader, left Santa Fe in company with Lieuten
ants Field and Ward, United States army. on the
3lst of December, and arrived at Independence on
the 9th instant. The st. Louis Republican says:
elm his trip in he took a new route, even vary
ing from the one adopted on his last visit to the
States very intense cold was experienced on the
route, the thermometer standing on several occa-
sions twenty degrees below At the Arkan-
river, the party crossed the ice to an island
where they were compelled to encamp. During
the night the river, IN most of its channels froze
to the bottom, and the next morning the men cut
through two feet OF solid ice without finding water
CAT several places they encountered snow to the
depth of eighteen inches. Notwithstanding the
severity of the cold, Mr.. Aubrey has been very
successful, having made the trip out and in with
out any loss of stock. He ia certainly the most
daring traveller on the prairies No season OF
weather stops him; and whilst Ire leads large cara
vans, he always ia successful, both in time and
safety. He brought in with him a large amount of
specie, and will return about the lst Of March.
son the route the party joined by Mr.
Mckenzie, and at the Rock Creek, near the Round
Mound, In some alteration, Mckenzie shot the
servant of Mr. Aubrey, killing him on the spot He
then made his escape, has not since been heard
from.
"About the time the party came in, two Cave In
dams were killed, in a drunken row in their own
nation, about fifteen miles below Council G rove.
"Mr. Aubrey Ia now satisfied that an impor tant
change can be made in the route to Santa Fe, by
travelling south of the old road from Red river to
Rock creek, and north from thence to Turkey
creek considerable saving can be made in dis-
lance, and more can be saved in the convenience Of
travelling. By this route, wood, water, and grass
can be had at stages of about eighteen miles whilst
over the old route there is distance of one hundred
and fifty miles without timber, and fifty miles
without water. Mr.. Aubrey has travelled over all
this country, and knows it intimately. The cross
lngs on the new route are easy. The Cimerone
river cannot be crossed between its mouth and
head, Tut road can be had by going between its
head and the Big Timbers.''

The denial indicates that hostile relations do
exist between Governor MARCY and Senator
Dickinson, though it is not their intention to
make any exhibition Of the fact to the public.
We are somewhat soictous TO learn the extent
to which the honorable ex- Senator, who stood
so bolt-upright against the Buffalo Conven-
tionists few months ago, approves the new
league in the Democratic party by which its
destinies have been recommitted to BLAIR, DIX 4,
Preston KING, BENTON, and the VAN BURENs.
Time was when MIR. Dickinson would have
shrunk from such associations, and we can
hardly imagine that he has abandoned his re-
cent position Of hostility. There is no telling,
however. The Democracy have suffered for
opinions sake so long that we apprehend it is
their determination TO waive all question of
opinion for the future.
