The Free Soil State Convention-Their State
Ticket.
We publish this morning the report Of
| our special reporter of the Free Soil State
| Convention, which has just closed its la
bors at Syracuse. Our report win be found in
teresting, as showing that the principles of the
Buffalo platform and the partisans of Hale
Chase. and Geddings, are not quite dead yet
but that they are as full of pluck as in the cam
paign Of ls4S. This is ominous when we con-
slider that the right wing OF the Buffalo plat
form. or rather the great central column. has
| gone over, bag and baggage" to the side Of
| the administration. And there is something
calculated to startle little both the old dislo-
Gated parties in the following Independent State
ticket of the free democracy:r-
For Secretary Of State. C. B. Sedgwick, Onondaga
Comptroller ..... Seth N. Gates, Wyoming.
Attorney General 49,. John Jay, New York,
Treasurer ..,........ Nathan Soule, Onondaga.
Canal Com ......... Chas. 9. Gasson, ~
Prison Inspector. Horace Boardman, Clinton.
State Engineer. Sias Cornell, Monroe.
finl, terml apo 40 Leonard Gibbs, Washington.
Judge Of Appeals ! cbo.e N;ooc-o
(shOrt term) .... ' 'o1
Clerk of Appeals. -. Thos W. Frost, Oneida
These. as far as we know, are all good free
soil. anti-fugitive slave law men, without an
exception ut whether they will receive
larger or smaller vote than was given in this
State for John P. Hale for President, in Novem-
Der, will depend very much upon the ticket and
platform Of each OF the two conventions yet to
be held at Syracuse Hence it is that we
+ are extremely puzzled what line Of policy to
recommend to the democrats or to the wings
If the democratic soft shells are allowed the
preponderance in their convention the hard
shells will be very apt to kick aut Of the traces
and rice reysd !; and as there has been 80 much
shutting upon the compromise of 1850 it would
be waste Of time to suggest another compro-
mise for 1858. In fact, as a split at Syracuse
appears to be inevitable, the best that we can
do is to let it come, and give a wide berth to
the falling rubbish. IF there were any hope OF
reconciliation we should put in strong ap-
peal to John Van Buren, to lay himself out full
length at Syracuse to effect it. We despair,
however, Of any sa isfactory harmony, for the
spoils are divided. and the hungry and unsatis-
fed are full Of the idea that fair words butter
no parsnips.' The 18th of September we fear
from all the signs of the weather, will be dark
day for the reunited democracy and all the
darker because the free democracy" are wait
ing and watching to cut in among them
The prospect for the wings is somewhat bet
ter though not very definite. But if they will
agree to drop their old wrapglings for two
months, and unite heartily upon good popu-
lar ticket, they may rise from the dust, shake
themselves and fall to and demolish the TWEEN.
ty-seven thousand majority Of Gen. Pierce and
sweep the State. The present harmony" among
the democracy offers a fair invitation to the
wings to do this very thing; but we fear that
the abominable isms of Greeley & Company
and the Maine liquor law will drive them to
distraction. They will have, however, the re-
suits Of the democratic convention tr their
instruction, and possibly they may be turned
to some advantage. But perhaps Seward &
Co, do no wish for the success Of the wings at
the coming election?
An independent free soil' ticket ought to
suggest to both the old parties the compromise
policy on the slavery ques ton; but we arc APP
prehensive that neither the wings nor the de-
mocrats have learned thus far to profit from
the lessons Of experience. Come veal or woe.
"sink or swim. live OF die, survive or perish "
the free democracy are on the track. Let
