SraIzation OF the 1--WE Old Parties-
1>r0bsbic Increase OF Anti-slsvery In the


slavery sentiment, which had been famed and en-
couraged for so many years past by certain factions
for local purposes, within the whig and democratic
parties is beginning to show its symptoms in a new
shape since the results Of the proceedings of the two
Baltimore conventions have been known, and the
rational character of the platforms put forth by
them has been ascertained at the North. As evil
sences Of This spirit. and of the probable detection
thar win be caused by it from both the old parties
10 increase the anti-savery party-at the approach
ing election, we give elsewhere in our columns
several extracts from few Of the leading party
journals of both classes in this State.
We have already alluded to the singular form in
which the Erening Post. the organ Of the anti
slavery section of the democrats, has received the
Baltimore democratic nominations Of Pierce and
King. 1t accepts the names, but denounces the
platform and the principles contrary to its
views. contrary TO its convictions, contrary to
its creed, and platform which was not agreed
upon by the Convention, but passed through that
body by stealth or in hurry While. therefore, the
Eree,ing Post feigns TO accept the nominations of
Pierce and King, it has pursued such course in
relation to the principles and platform on which
these nominations stand, will drive great many
Of ,he bamburners, and those tincured with anti
over to the third party, or the pure anti-slayery
faction. which is organizing and calling its conyen-
tons all the North. This treacherous, incen-
! diary, dangerous policy is pursued in some of the
ward meetings by The rabid and more violent
and more incendiary of those who have hitherto
been enrolled among the barnburners, and en-
| gagged in propagating antislavery sentiments
among the people. One Of the most rabid speeches
of kind vi is cd in tha hnt,o
Democrat of Wednesday, pronounced by Mr.
John Cochrane, formerly defeated candidate for
Congress. In this speech he feigns to support the
nominations, and to accept the platform and the
principles but yet walks "out of the record,' and
denounces the institutions of the South as an evil of
! the most revolving character to humanity, and as
an evil which must at early period, be abated in
| some way, but how he does not undertake to point
out. Such sentiments put forth before the public,
professedly i'll support Of nominations made with a
certain platform, are calculated for no other plr
pose, and can succeed in other object than that
of disposing many of the barnburners to walk out
of the democratic party, and again swell the ranks
Of the nti-slavery party, whenever their nomina-
! tons shall have been made by the Pittsburg Ma
tiona Convention. This is the old spirit of revolt,
and faction and bitter hostility to the constitutional
rights Of the South, which broke down the demo-
cratic party in1SiS, and has, caused half of the
trouble and agitation which has disturbed the coun-
try ever since.
The radical spirit of ant-slavery, which has been
again called into action by the Ecening Post, and
John Cochrane, in the Seventeenth ward, for the
purpose of driving democrats from the party to
swell the ranks of the anti slavery faction, acquires
even more momentum, and is exhibited in greater
force within the limits of the whig party, both in
this city and in this State The anti-savery senti-
ments of the whig party of the North are not sent
forth into the world alone. They are COM
bined with all the widest notions Of socialism and
radicalism and red rerublicanism of the European
stamp all Of which totally different from the
practical, sensible, and everyday character of re-
publicanism and democracy in the United States
In proof Of the strong spirit of Generalization and
| revolt against both the principles and the caudi-
dates of the Wing Convention at Baltimore, we give
to-day certain additional extracts, from some of the
leading organs of that party in this state-thc
Tribune. the Courier and Enquirer, both of this
city, and the Erening Journal, of Albany.
The Euenirg journal is, par excellence, the organ
of Thurow Weed and of VIM. II. Seward 1t has
always been conducted with great duplicity and
much caution in relation to all disturbing questions
for it is obvious that during the whole course of its
existence, and the whole policy of the whom it
represents they seek pef and power in preference to
mere distractions, although they fail to use
all the isms ofhe day. and all the excitements which
may spring up, for the purpose of obtaining place
and pef. Witness their course on auti-masonry,
antilentism, anti-slavery, and ali the other isms
The Ercning Journal, therefore, is cautious, and
fegns to agree to the platform Of the wing conyen
ton, in consideration of receiving the candidate Of
its choice, but with the reservation that it enter
tains the opinions in respect to slavery, and
other agitating questions which it agrees to sup
press. merely for the present. but with the awowed
right to turn them up and agitate them
| policy shall render il necessary to DO so. This
caution, however, is not exercised by the Tri-
Junc, Of this city. With all the violence of
| language and filth Of manner which charac-
terzes that journal and its vulgar editors
they say openly and plainly, we spit the plat
form--we execrate tive defy it, SO far as the
Compromise is concerned" And nov. in addition
! to this, in the extracts which we give to-day we
find that the platforms Of both the conventions, on
the question of foreign inervention are equally de-
nounced by the I}ibute--the.o one as drawn up by a
! politician, aud the other-the whig one-as being
prepared by " an ass" These high compliments
to their party calculated TO produce dis
turbance within their ranks, and to create dis
affection, which will be felt at the polls next No.
ycmber to an extent not yet imagined Even on
the subject of the ani-intervention plank, it is
called, in the wing platform, the Tribune ackuov-
ledges that it will cost General Scott five thousand
votes in this State, and at least macy, in pro-
portion, in several of the other wing States. In
close contest, therefore, five thousand votes is
immense number, and the probability is that the
struggle next November, between Scott and Pierce,
will be one Of the closest and tigbteat that has
taken place in this country for The last thirty years
But this is not all the trouble that we fad within
the wing ranks. The moderate and staid, and con-
sentative Courier and Enquirer feels grieved-
deeply gricved-at the prospect ofthngs within their
| own ranks. As specimen Of the condition Of the
