and both be and Mr. Clay, and indeed the
whole North, Of all parties. opposed the in
4 PRODUCTION Of slaves into those Territories,
and large portion Of all parties there arere
and are ready to prevent it Unnecessary to
do so by Legislation.
Thus il appears not to be true that the
Compromise was ''rcpudiated' By the Con-
yention. We may add that resolutions we're
adopted by it expressive of its confidence IN
MILLARD FILLMORE, who had signed and ex-
ecuted the Fugitive Slave Law" and in the
wisdom Of bis administration. 1t was be-
cause the Convention passed resolution
thanking YIN. II Seicard for bis devotion
TO the party to which he belonged, upon
subjects Of general policy, entirely unconaec-
ted with slavery. that offence was given to
thirty nine delegates, Fillmorcites, who Sc
ceded from the Convention.
Another Convention was held, as we are
told in this speech-but zoe are not told that
every County in the State Of New York ex-
| ccpt five, was represented in it, that the
body was large one, and that the 5oliowing
resolutions irere unanimously adopted
Resolped, That we approve the acts pas
sed by Congress Cor the admission of Califor-
MIA into the Union, the establishments OF the
boundary of Texas. and the organization of
| Territorial Governments in New Mexico and
Utah and that while those acts are not in
all their parts, as we could have wished, yet
regarding them as constituting great SCENE
for the termination Of national controversies,
the restoration of harmony to our national
councils. and the PR servation of the Union,
we viii stand by and maintain them, and
that there can be no union Of the Wing party
CT New York upon the basis Of disturbance
Of the settlement thereby made.
Pesolred, That while the Wings, and es.
pecially the New York Wings. we regard the
elevation Of eur fellow citizen, Willard Fill
more, to the Office of President with unming-
led pride and pleasure. we recognize in him
claims to our admiration and gratitude higher
than party and wider than the limits Of
single State 1t has been his fortune to save
The has his reward in the consciousness OF
rectitude ard appreciation Of the wise and
good. The calumnics Of the base are but the
price Of those who win for shcmsclycs imper-
shable honor.
On motion of Hon. VIM G. Hasbrouck,
the Convention adjourned sine die. with three
cheers for the Ticket three fo- the Union
and Constitution, aud three for Fillmore and
his Cabinet -.
The address OF the Convention also con-
tains the following:
ave deeply regret that there should be a
diversity % sentiment or dissensions among
the Wigs Of New York. We know of no
way for them to unite but to come together
in the spirit of liberation AID forbearancc,
and discarding all subjects of discord, to ADOPT
those principles and sentiments in winch we
all concur. IL we have differed on questions
with the institution of slavery.
their settlement affords us an opportunity,
and common ground, Of re- union. The re-
opening Of these questions, and renewal Of
agitation would preclude all hope of reconcil- !
Iation."
The above resolutions, together with the
series adopted by the Convention, were the
same as those previously offered in the Sy-
racuse Convention and by it laid on the ia
ble--not rgected--ana to these resolutions,
we find in the letter of Washington Hpnt,
whose nomination by the Syracuse Convcn-
ton, tue Utica Convention approved, he gaze

consulted upon the subject before the SYRIA

friends of the South as Granger aud Duer
- is referred to, evidently to create the i'm
prossion that the UTICA Convention had pro
we'd faithless to the South the fact of the
passage of the above resolutions, &c, endor-
sing the Compromise, being kept out of view.
We are no apologiststs for Washington Hunt
but if his nomination in 1850 is to condemn
the Wings Of New York, 1rhdt is TO be said
Of the nomination of three BarnbaImer-
4iboiitioniSts upon the Democratic ticket, in
the Convention of that party, in New York,

period Seymour, their candidate, being a.

This presentation of facts will enable our
readers to understand how deficient is the
speech to which We have referred, in proper
and undisguised statement of the action of
the Wing party of New York.
