We stated yesterday that the northern wings were in
earnest when they repsdiated in their lately as
they had done before in every form OF party aeos The
obi CATION and hnality OF the Compromise We added
that cheat and delusonf there be any in the csse-are
10 GENE hereafter in son OF a compromise declara-
iion BY the whg candidate. possibly 0housh far more
doubtluD BY the Wing Convention. When We branded
any such wing declaration as papabs cheat, because
entirely at war with the organization and purpose oil the
whg ,arly. we did not know that we should so soon
have from most influential wing authority full admission
OF the truth OF statement Such an admission now
comes 10 US in carefully prepared leading article OF the
New York Tribune, the Journal which, more Than any
other in the land represents the counses which
rule the wing party The Tribune says:
'.They Che southern whigs) may very possibly bully
Wing National Convention into passing some sort oil

who love slavery will uphold It, and who hate II VIII
keep hating il. and Ivy mako others hate 1. with a
view its ultimate DOWNFALL just If such resolve had
passed"
And again, at the conclusion OF the same article
1--WE object the passage of compromise resolve in
either OF the National Conventions primarily eheata
gtiropa Tub 10 the rohaie There will not be aboli-
tions the less thereafter than before and one will be
overawed sileDced Such will be arbitrary
and uDusiable II will ALLEVIATE and drive away from the
wings some anti-savery men, and probably throw away
the presidential eecion while IL will do good TO any
Tho party may be the rocks, if wi but not
with cooperation II insists wreckng its pros.
poets, shall al least insist showing how and why II
does So"
As to the cheats proposed perpeated in the conven
ons OF its party, the Tribune may be allowed 10 be
an authority. But we deny It's right to speak for the
democratic party Besides il is rather late IN the day for
any journal 10 refer to democratic declaration in favor
of maintaining the Compromise cheat, when for two
years past the democratic party OF the North and for
months past the democracy Of the South have stood firmly
planted that ground in every mode OF party manifes
laiion, in Congress and out of Congress,
But when journal like the Tribune tells us that a
compromise declaration by the Wing Convention "will
not be worth the paper il is written on, and when in
saying the Tribune speaks plainly in the spirit OF the
whole organization of the wing party in Congress and in
the States should be glad TO understand the calculus
