Washington sentinel., 1853-10-12

Ought not ti:treesoa and a,ti-abolition reso-
buttons hare been passed. The silver-greys were
not numerous enough to pass such resolutions,
and the Seward men, in order to obtain the
siRer-grey vote, were willing to give them one
or two offices and remain silent The Richmond
the candidates presented. Does it mean TO say
that they are samples of the ticket? fit does,
we will refer it to the Neao York Express, sill
ver-grey, Fillmore, national whig paper from
which it may gather a few hints as to the
character of the great whig convention, and
some of the nominees the Whiy forgets to
mention. The Erpress says:
The chief of the ticket the Secretary OF State,
is Mr.. Leavenworth, lawyer of some note in
. Syracuse, and a man OF means there, with enough
OF intellect 10 do all its duties well. lie was Ill
the early Fillmore days sver-grey wing, but
became a renegade, when so much noise was
made about his in Syracuse by the negro
Jerry Rescue mob, as To induce him TO think the
world was coming TO an end and hence, 10 the
amaZement OF everybody there he turned up about
that time, Wool all overland of a very thick,
matted kind
The, occasion OF this turning up was law and
order meeting, summoned in Syracuse, by the
leading silver-Greys and hunkers there, 10 redeem
their city from the disgrace OF the Jerry Rescue
mob, aud the acts and the threats these nobmen
had inflicted upon il. Mr. Leavenworth Judging
apparently that law and order was about at an end
in his part of the world and that white men here
after TO be but OF comparatively little account,
in comparison with fugitive negro, headed large
body of men, and attempted 10 pre-occupy market
hall, the place where the law and order meeting
was called, and where in attempting to break up
III. and lI.h
beggar all descrpton--he and his consumed over
an hour in their struggle TO put the law and order
meeting, down, to get up frecsoll, abolition,
and negro Jerry meeting in its stead. Mr.. Leaven-
worth had about him, even in this scene OF confu-
sion. all the fanatcal priests, all the ranting lee
turers of that place, with others-and but for the
famous sat-ponters of Syracuse, who interfered.
and put the mob of broadcoth to flight, the law
and order meeting would have been broken. All
this we write not from hearsay, for we saw heard,
and had part in II all .
"The constitution and the laws being the first
Of whig principles and the basis of all whg prin-
ciples, we do not see how whig State Conven-
tion could nominate for wings to vote for man
who thus arrayed himself both against the consti-
tuition and the law. But this Mr.. Leavenworth is
nominated over true-hearted and devoted q
whg as ever breathed-one who has been conss-
tent in all respects whose ability and emlnencc
far over-top his successful rival--we mean Mr..
Wilkins, of Orange county whose crime undoubt-
edy was that he has never iatered IN supporting
the Constitution and the laws.
OfMr. Spaldng, the candidate for treasurer,
the Express says that when in Congress, " he
resisted to the very utmost the compromise
bills. 1t further says: .
OF the six prizes up in the Syracuse lottery,
what is called the "woolly party" have taken five.
The convention seems 10 have paid but very little
attention to the tervent exhortation of the presi-
dent of the convention, Ex-Governor Hunt. for
concession, harmony oblivion, &c, in as much as
they in fact, took ALL not giving to the friends
of Mr. Ulman the choice of their man. because, 1t
may be that Mr.. Ullman was an old Clay and Fill
more man, and though of the same general sentl-
ment Mr.. Hoffman, Mr. III. had the advantage
of him, in being Scott from the start"
What the Express thus states mildly, is most
strongly stated by other presses. Does not the
Wing "own the soft impeachment ?"
