Concerning the whig party Of New York we
are considerably my stifed, extremely mortified
and sorely dubious and perplexed. Gentlemen
what's to be done? Things are working badly.
| The State Central Committee have discharged
their duty They have called Wing State
Convention. to meet at Syracuse on the 9TH OF
| October. The wing Journals Of the rural dis
tricts have answered the signal, and, as cheer
fully as if nothing had happened. they are beat
ing the rappel to summon the party together.
| And here in New York. James Kelly, chairman
Of the Broadway House Democratic Wing
General Committee" has issued his manifesto,
headed by the soul-stirring words, Never say
de-" ordaining that the wing primary elections
ofthe city shall come off on the 18th instant.
the very day Of the Syracuse Democratic State
| Convention. All Of which is well enough as
far as it goes.
But still it cannot be blinked that the run
ming gear Of the wing party is badly damaged,
aud that the prospect of patching it up into
| good working order again is dark dismal, and
desperate quite dismal, and very desperate.
Let us see. Greeley has thrown up
his commission in disgust. Having pronounced
the whig party dead, and having read over its
funeral service, he is going to hitch on "tor bet
ter or for worse" with the free soil democracy
and their piebald allies. How is this vacancy
to be filed? Who is there now to step in aud
keep up the whig fire on the tariff question and
land reform? The compromise wing journals
are rejoicing at this desertion as good thing
as the very key to the regeneration of The wing
party-and so it may be; but it is only IN item
in the clashing Of the clans. Read read

Herein lies our mystifcation modification,

is, that the Fillmore or national wing faction
