| The Abolition Whag Party Alive Again.
william H Seward for President I'm 1856.
great political miracle has recently been
wrought in this country. Nothing less is it
than the republication of the whg party, with
all its destructive tendencies. Let it be every
where proclaimed abroad so that all men may
know and ask in surprise how this change-thus
came to pass. Our task in this article shall be
to explain the wonder and point out the con-
sequences.
1t is true that the old. feeble, decrepit wing
party, whose dissolution appeared to have
taken place last November under the most
hopeless and desperate circumstances. and
whose relics were consigned to the tomb
of the things that had been, unwept,
unhonored and .unsung," has OF late shown
evident, unmistakable, symptoms of resus-
citation Invoked by the spell of the potent
magician, William a Seward, and under

The transformation Lazarus has come forth
rom the sepulchre. and the remarkable event
is celebrated with great rejoicings and prepar-
ations for the future on the part of the wing
politicians throughout the country.
But. apart from metaphor the conven-
tion which was in session in Syracuse
yesterday, is proof Of the revivifica-
tion which has taken place in the old wing
abolition party. supposed to have been ire
deemably defunct. The Syracuse Convention
is the first organization for the purpose of
its complete restoration, and the pro-
ceedings there indicate but too plainly the
inauspicious consequences to the country which
will follow from that unlocked for event. Wn.

and Observation-Disclosures now in the ascendant.
All the interests Of the party are concentered
in his abolitionist policy-the silver gray Sec
ton, or the adherents of Fillmore, being of lit
tie if any account. Preparations are being
made by the wing party to obtain a signal
triumph in the approaching election, and it is
beyon all peradventure that in this State at
least their triumph is certain. Then the aboli-
ton and anti-slavery sentiment will be again
iostered and encouraged by the wings, aud
William 81. Seward the leader Of the party and
the chief apostle and representative of these
destructive doctrines will attain the gratifca-
ton of his ambition in his nomina ton to the
Presidency in 1856.
So stands the wing party since its reorgani-
cation. How is it with the democratic party
Instead of presenting an irresistible front to

feeble, and utterly futile resistance to the pro-
gress of the wing party.
In its weakness and disunion lies the strength
of the wings. The latter calculated on,
watched, and seized their advantage. Aud
now resolution and confidence reign throughout
the lately panic-stricken legions Of the wing
party, while the democracy is split into nu-
merous factions. exhausting their energies in
suicidal hostilities.
And SO, after all, it was only cunning feint
of the leading wing politicians and journals.
when after their signal defeat at the last Presi-
Dental election, they announced the dissolution
of the party and chanted solemn requiems over
its ruins. 1t was willy, deep laid scheme, to
entrap the democratic masses by Turing them
