WHICH Is RIGHT 2

The Albany Argus is just now greatly afflicted al Inc
iao Lest he democratic party of New York should become
the resolutions of the Syracuse convention the Nebraska
question 1t might be supposed that the Argus would be
little careful how provoked comparison on this subject
between the convention which nominated Judge Bronson
and that which renominated Governor Seymour 1t is be
there is great difference between the bodies
as Nebraska is concerned and almost complete
identity upon other issues that the union between the
rank and file looks most probable to disinterested OBJ
In order to show how true this is, give the
following resolution the Nebraska BILL adopted by the
friends of Judge Bronson Utica the 18th day of July
1854:
Resoced That, in organizing territorial form of gov
eminent for Territories belonging to the United States the
principle of self government upon which our ederaye
rests will be best promoted if the spirit and
ing of the constitution be observed and the conedeacy
strengthened by leaving all questions concerning the domestic
policy therein to the legislatures chosen by the people
thereof This is the doctrine of the democracy of this
State and has long been maintained by them in opposition
all attempts of Congress in interference with the affairs of
the people of the Territories whether under the pretence
slavery restrictions other local regulation That this
doctrine to the people of the several States their
equal rights in the Territories and enables them they be-
come States fashion their institutions the princi-
pie Of free unembarrassed by congressional
interference dictation That the national democracy
pride their action in maintaining such doc
trnes at all times and under all circumstances amidst the
shock of and abolition assaults and successfully pre-
serving constitution from violation and the rights of all
sections of the Union from infringement. AND WE
APPROVE OF THE RECENT CONGRESS TERRI
roRIAL ORGANIZATIONS NEBRASKA AND KANSAS, so FAR
AS PRINCIPLE THAT THE PEOPLE THE
TERRITORIES LEoIsLATE OWN WELFARE Is
EXERCISED PEOPLE THE STATES
We have said that this conditional resolution Is
it not so They endorse the Nebraska bill only far
as respects the doctrine of popular sovereignty That
it does so this principle is denied by John Wheeler
r. W. Peckham James Maurice, and Andrew Oliver all
members of the Bronson hard parauhorities equally
good with the Argus because well known and accepted
members of that organization Every aholtunlsL III Com
press could say as much for Nebraska BILL that $50
FAR rs asserted the doctrine of popular sovereignty
far was he willing go for it he being Mejudge 7oheer
assertedhs principle or not We do not think therefore
that the "Abany Argus make much out OF Its OPP
position to union between the two sections OF the de-
mocracy of New York by placing its antagonsrn on the
ground that the friends of Seymour not sound on the
Nebraska question: especially in view of the resolution
which we have quoed which shows that the peculiar
friends of the Argus not themselves quite sure that
the Nebraska bill asserted the great doctrine upon which
it was VIGOROUSLY based aud by which it became
law.
