therefore, the Democratic party of the Union Stand

faithful execution of the acts known as the Comnro

We can perceive no material difference in the Re-.
solutions. They are all sound. They constitute
platform broad enough for both Northern and South
ern Democrats; and this being the case we exceed.
ngy regret that the two wings of the party did not
unite and harmonic. Both are no doubt to blame
for eresult but we cannot undertake to say which
wing is most censurable. One thing, however, is
certain-the Democracy of other sections can have
but little sympathy with those who divide, and dis
agree and denounce each other about matter of
Office and patronage, Still it may be that the causes
of disagreement in New York lie deeper than even
the slavery question official patronage; it may be
that harmony was impossible on account of past
events concerning State policy.
The Wing Convention for the State is to assemble
IN the 9TH of next month We shall see whether
hey win pass sound Resolutions on slavery as the
oregoing.
