A Cool conf.s.,,..

s "A Cool Confession.
We copy the following remarkable avowal from
the New York Tribune, the leading organ of The Sc
ward and Scott wing of The wing party: "a
" The wing is in fact scarcely partu at all in the
strlcesf sense, but loose congregation of those
who feel constrained TO resist certain tendencies and
purposes OF the party which covers itself with the
mantle OF democracy
With the declarations of the southern wings and
the dongs of the wing caucuses and the convention TO
sustain US IN the opinion, have expressed the idea
that the real struggle of the wing party at this time is
Tor continued eT1stence a national organization,
rather than serious or hopeful effort to overcome the
democracy. .- s-tt -. r.s..s ..-.-... =r-. +.
We have proof enough of this south of the Poto-
mac, and heard not few missions of it from that
quarter; but we have not before seen the abolition
wings through their leading organ making similar
admission.
The above language of the Tribune suggests the
question whether anybody believes that the organiza
ton styling itself the wing party is party ALL
or anything more than " loose congregation of those
no feel constr aimed 10 resist the established egis
latlve policy under which the country now prospers
If this be so, we should be glad to know on what
ground such g loose con gregaton' ask The

sttuon contemplate the placing of these in the hands
OF such loose congregation ?-Wdshington Union,
The Fugitive Law IA New Hampshire.
We copy from the Boston Post the following no.
tce of the action of the two parties in the ~ Hamp
shire Legislature in regard to the execution of the
fugitive law in that State:
"NEw HAMPsHIRE.-The House of Representa-
tives-l57 to ll3-has passed bill to repeal the
law of the coalition Wing and Abolition legislature
of 1886 forbiddng Justices of the peace and others
to aid in the of fugitive slaves, under penal
ty of $500 to $1,000 fine and six months imprison-
ment. Only four democrats voted against the re-
peal, and only thirteen wings for it. Thus do the
democracy of New Hampshire vindicate the consti-
tuition The bill will undoubtedly pass the other
branches. The Legislature will adjourn on Satur-
day next to the 18th Of November. On Tuesdey
evening democratic caucus resolved-86 to 63-tC
postpone the election of United States Senator to the
fall session.
So much for the FIRST legislative demonstration or
this subject in General Pierce's State since his
nomination. 1t is good omen but all the othe,
democratic omens in relation to this matter in al
parts of the Union, are also good
