HOW THEY TAKE IT,

HOW THEY TAKE IT.
Our readers will remember the belief that prevail
ed all along, before the Scott nomination. that
ter how clearly the Wing Convention might plan
! itself on the compromise measures, Gen. Scott
would not approve the compromise in SO many
words, nor would Greedy, Seward, or any of his pc
cullar friends and adherents, up its support
what was belief has become certainty. The Ro
chester Advertiser gives the following account of
Wing ratification meeting recently held in Auburn
the home of Seward:
The WIG PLATFORM REpuDIATED BY HIS OWN
HOUSEHOLD. At the wing ratification meeting re.
Gently held in AubHrn, the home of Senator Seward,
set of resolutions reported by committee
chosen for the purpose and adopted by the meeting.
Inc hrst resolution sets forth that the nominations
recently made by the Wing Convention are entire
ly acceptable to the wings of the city of Auburn,
who respond most cordially to the same" The Sc
cond resolution is taken up In setting forth the trans
cenddnt and transcendental qualifications of Gen.
Scott as ciUihGn, military writer, dipiomatist, and
soldier The next is complimentary to their candidate
for Vice President. They then resolve, in lines,
to elect their cket and this closes their resolutions
mot eoOrd SAID about their platform or any princi-
pile whdtever.
And this, be it remembered, is from Mr.. Stewards
own home district-the very theatre from which after
becoming bail for the mobocrats, who arrested
and bound over for resisting and striking down the
officers of the law while in the discharge of their
with their coadutors, white and black, male and fe
male, in promiscuous conglomeration, to the bosoms
of his home and family, and bid them God-speed in
their interesting work of rebellion and anarchy This
is the man and this the place where such silent
tempt is shown to the princp and platform of the
wing Party-a contempt more significant than if he
had followed the example of his chief fugleman in
the Empire City, who sp1t upon the platform " with
so much holy indignation.
But the most characteristic part of the proceedings
IS the fact that. while studied and contemPtuous
silence was maintained about the platform, the dis
honest and fraudulent intrguers, fearing the effect
abroad, and especially South, of this significant
insult to the compromise wings, caused despatch
to be sent to the New York papers, stating that "re
solutions were passed endorsing the nominees and
This is only small, petty-larceny specimen of the
fraud and rickery which these dishonest demagogues
are ready to resort to, in their desperate attempts to
keep themselves from sinking to that botomless per-
dition of public scorn and contempt which they SO
richly merit.''
That will do, for the present, for " the home Of
Seward but TO illustrate still further the fidelity of
Northern Wings to the platform adopted at Baltimore
we lay before readers the following from the New
Haven Register:
"A STAMPEDE! The Committee on Federal Re-
latons in the Legislature of Connecticut, anxious to
give the Scoltes and Grahamltes chance to stand by
their new platform, reported to the Senate series of
compromise resolutions. II operated like q pinch of
Lyons magnetic potOder on q nest Of rats! From the
reverend senator OF Inc tney all ScdmPeTeo
into the Hobbies, with the exception of Messrs Goa
lltlon Dean of the thireenh and Latham. of the
venth, aud they divided the vote! Mr.. Dean
stood solitary and aone,' upholding the banner of
ld-fashioned wing principles Oh my country
menu The resolutions were all passed by vote of
twelve to one. We slightly misnformed yes
teday in saying that the body of the wings stood up
against them. Mr.. Dean was the only one faithful
among the faithless.' The rest shot the pitt"
So much for Connecticut; but to show still further
the desperate game which is being played by the
friends of the Seward candidate, quote follows
from the Albany Argus, paper of acknowledged
character and standing:
1.-THE WIG PLATFORM. 1t is, strange to say,
matter of difference, if not of dispute, among the
wing journals, what the genuine wing platform is.
Certain ii is that the Northern and Southern Uhig
gans cling TO different Uersions of The same thing
At the South the whig platform is represented as
recognizing the Compromise as hnality, and as
Pledging the wing party to the maintenance of the
entire series of measures-fugitive law and all
against all attempts to disturb any all of them or
to impair their efficacy. At the North, another and
very different platform is held up to the public eye
in which the compromise is not mentioned, its
fnaity recognized or acknowledged
The Argus goes to show that the Albany Eve
ming Journal-Weed's paper, and one of the leading
Scott organs in New York-distincty repudates the
Southern version of the platform. The Journal says
IS The eighth and last resolution of the series
quiesces in the Compromise Measures, including the
Fugitive-slave Law, a settlement of the question
they embrace, until time and experience shall DEM
onsrate the necessity Of further Legislation. II does
not affirm their fnaEty,' for so long Congress
is succeeded by another, with equal powers of ma
king and repeating laws, the fnaity IF enactment
is absurdny.''
Southern Wings, what do you think of such con-
duct that! Can you swallow the Seward pill
