IL was hoped by us that the magnanmity Of
the Whig=, and the selfdenal manifested by a
large number Of old line Democrats, would in
duce the Free Soil organization to adopt the
peoples ticket" but so far we have been
sadly disappointed they resolutely refuse. The
position of the old line Democratic nominees
and their previous character az TO temperance
is such that good temperance men will not sup
port them. With the detection of the temper
ance men from the old line Democrats, and a
cordial union of the Wings and Free Demo-
Gratis, we hoped and believed that we could
elect three men to our Legislature, pledged TO
the Maine Law, and good Free Democrats,
pledged to the election of Mr. Chase to the
United States Senate but the unacc0untable
obstinacy of the Free Democratic Central Com
mttee has 90 far defeated our aims We have
expostulated with them, we have threatened

is disgusting not only to the liberal of our own
party, but also to large number of liberal

thize with our cause. The Wing party ulti-
mately will be the loser by the union, as it

To the Editor of the National Era:
The Independent Democrats of Washington
county, New York, met in Convention on the
sth instant, at Argyle Mr.. Ralph Richards,
of Hampton, Chairman; and DIR. Joseph Kee-
ney, of Greenwich, Secretary
The Convention was opened by prayer by
Rev Mr.. Lusk, Of Cambridge. Hon Leonard
Gibbs Of Greenwich, gave a very interesting
account of the proceedings Of the State Con-
vention, and in an able speech showed the ne
ceesity Of the Independent Democratic organi-
zstion, and tho folly Of trusting to the old par
ties to do the work in removing the curse Of
Slavery. Many cheering signs of the times
were given, showing that the People were
breaking away from old party ties, and be-
coming true to justice. Resolutions endorsing
the proceedings Of the State Convention were
passed and the following nominations made
For Superintendent Of the Poor--James
Thompson, of Jackson; for Justices of SEES
sons-Horatio Emmons Of Easton Robert
Macarthur, of Jackson; for District Attorney
Leonard Gibbs, Of Greenwich for Member of
Assembly, District No i-Benjamin Barker
Of Easton Ia District No 2, postponed till
District Meeting.
A Senatorial Committee having been ap-
pointed, the Convention adjourned.

Last Saturday evening this body was in
