The Wh1g State Conrention-Ihe Factions still

Since the grand democratic emeute at Syracuse,
and the certainty of division in the ranks OF the
ruling party, the wings have plucked up consdera-
BILE courage. They are well aware that the votes of
their adversaries viii be divided between the
adamantine aud the barnburner ticket. They have
now an eye upon the State officers, who wihaye the
control Of the canal contracts under the amended
constitution; they are DESTROYS OF eecting o whig
Senate a certainty Of either returning Seward, or
sending some other wing to the United States Sc
nate in 1856, or preventing the election of demo-
cratic Senator. The viii IS are anxious for the House
of Assembly too, as there they would have fears
that the proposed amendments to the constitution
wonld be crushed by barnburners.
The State Convention will be held on the 5th Of
October. The Seward wing Of the party will have
uDdisturbed control Fillmore's friends are making
exertions TO send deleg ates being that the
wooeys are we'll drilled and organised in every as
sembly district, and in contest would easily con-
quer. The silver greys are as numerous and stead
fast as they were last year. They will await the result
ofthe Convention at Syracuse before concluding what
course to pursue. They threa en- no yer, ia case
the ticket is composed Of wooley heads, and Seward
is endorsed and applauded in the State resolutions
TO either nominate a parate ticket or occupy po
sition OF armed neutrality From the onslaught
lately made by the Buffalo Commercial Albany
Register, New York Express, and smaller greys
throug bout the State, upon the Albany Jsurna, it
is evident that the friends OF Mr. Fillmore are not
prepared at this election to contribute towards the
continuance of his proud antagonist in the Senate.
If the silver greys knock under" OF "cave in" it
will be upon being convinced that Sc ward will not
be candidate for re election How such conviction
can be produced will require all the stratagem aud
acuteness possessed by the main woody leaders.
The greys have as yet, never permitted their full
strength to be known, and probably never will, pre-
feTing to annoy their family adyersares by voting
tor such candidates as each may prefer or not vote
at all.
The game WHICH is now being played, and is the
last programme issued from the w0Olly miat, is to
place Washington Hunt and Edwin d. Morgan on
the State ticket. Neither particularly objection
able TO either section they have managed in public
either Scyla or Charybdis. They are not known as
woollJs silver greys, or Fillmore or Sc ward men.
Seward is not to for ward for the Senate but
retire otium dgnitate and await the contest for
the Presidency in 1856. Byretiring from the Senate
a candidate for the White House, he initiates other
distinguished statesmen, some even successful and
Others disappointed. Besides Stewards ultra aboli-
tionism has completely destroyed all the influence
he ever possessed in that body, and the retirement
Of Hale, only leaving Chase by his side, renders him
entirely poweress. Sumner will re main longer than
either, and viii eventually be left entirely alone in
his abolition glory
IL the WOOleyS can lnuuCe the SnVcrS 10 support
Morgan and Hunt with an assurance, whether
elected or defeated one or the other shall be made
United States Senator, then the wings may become
sufficiently united to poll strong VOTE Bat this
must be dcre without saying single word towards
landing Seward. Either of the above named pers
would carry much more influence in Congress than
Seward ever can, not being known as such ultra
ab0lldonists.
The active, working Seward wings are already de-
claIing that none other than thorough-going hard
shell wooley ticket will be nominated. Ii q single
silver grey, even doubtful man. Is placed thereon,
they swear vengeance against the amalgamation,
and they mean what they say for they qualify
They have not forgiven Fillmore for the havoc he
made among them when he came into poweI-for
furnishing his enemies and arding his friends"
And should tie Weed and Seward faction succeed in
obtaining control OF the canal contracts, not single
individual of the other section would be allowed any
participation in those any other species OF State
spoiis. The twelve millions would be distributed to
Stewards friends ex lusvely
Under such discordant state of feeling, every
man who has noted the signs Of the times must at
once conclude that the wing party is equally sun
dered with the democratic. And it is more than
probable had the latter united at Syracuse and re-
solved TO go into the 5ht with tic harmony Of last
year, the wings would have allowed the election to
have gone by default. They viii now, however,
make an eifart and If, by getting up Maine law or
any other ism candidates, they can make fair show,
they will go into the contest with considerable vgor.
The wings will endeavor in every Senate and As
sembly district TO draw in the antiliqror influence,
knowing that in the rural districts determination
prevails to enact that law next winter. All will
remain in doubt and uncertainty, however, until the
State ticket is made up at Syracuse. b endorsing
Stewards course, war will be declared at once and
by refusing or neglecting to do it, will show the
white feather which the wooleys have never yet ex
hibited. con to the conflict, on
