NEW YORK wHIGS--sARATOGAR EsOLU


NEW YORK wHIas--sARATOGA REsOLU
TIONs.
We publish in another column the entire resolu
tions IS passed at the recent Saratoga AntNcbrask
Convention, with the letters Of endorsement Of My
ron H. Clark Henry g. Raymond Henry fitzhugl
and Norwood Bovine, Wing candidates for the Stat
offices Of New York.
We publish these resolutions entire, and the letters
Of endorsement, that the Wings of the South ma,
see from q calm review of the entire ground the pre-
else attitude of the Wing candidates of New York
with regard theirto views and intentions on the Sla
very question.
The Syracuse resolutions went in all conscience faI
enough; far indeed that could not fail to dis
sent from and repudiae all Wings who occupied such
ground. 1t will be that the Wing candidates
have committed themselves Internationally to the
Saratoga PLATFORM thus adding to the Syracuse "con-
fession Of faith" yet more revolutionary creed
And one of them, Mr.. Nortoood Bolone, gives the
finishing touch Of iniquy TO the Saratoga resolu-
tons. He says,-good pious soul-"I stand on
other platform than that which has for its object
TIE orertron Of that Institution that holds ii to be
right to ensIdre any class Of my felIon men,"
In publishing these resolutions and letters, fee
warranted from past observation, in saying that there
good men and true" in New York, who will
repudiate them, and proudly and firmly occupy the
conservative and constitutional ground o: HfLLGrd
Fillmore. We may so yet farther and say, that we
can but express the hope that many who in the
Syracuse Convention, were represented there, will,
that the game Of deception is fully developed,
and open treason to the Union boldly proclaimed in
the Saratoga resolutions, which have been
thoroughly endorsed by the regular nominees, will
repudiate the candidates and the platform, and
throw their influence in favor Of the election Of Bron
son.
We have been gratfed at the spirit and patriotic
tone of the Wing press of Virginia on this subject.
1t is cheering to that the Wing press repudiaes
this attempt to abolitionze the Wing party. 1t is
yet more gratifying to see that the Wings of the
South resolutey the actous, fanatic rebel>
ious doctrines manifested by the infected portion Of
the Wings of the North. But, it is still more cheer
ing to witness the calm resolution with which the
Wing press throughout the State contemplates the
threatened storms and repes the nsidous prostitution
Of Wing faith, Wing principles, Wing tenets to the
vile purposes Of the Abotonist and Northern fanatic
II forebodes brighter destiny than the dark picture
drawn by the reasonable desgus of tie Saratoga
Convention.
Such, indeed, is the boldness and danger Of th
second move, in furtherance of undsguisel Abo-
tionsm, that several Of the leading Wing journals OF
New York indicate strong inclination to cry out
shame on this new Matched treason to the Union
We yet nope that there will be found resouc bano
OF patriots, in the North, who will stand by the in
tegrty of the Union, and aid the conservative me-.
oil all sections Of the country in maintaining the
Constitutional rights of the South, and prescribing
the true political balances of the Union Such men,
firm of purpose, hgh-souled and patriotic will NEE,
nd III II
BOSOM and what is better they may yet succeed in
qusling the mad ald runous doings Of the Saratoga
eonspirators. We use the conspirators advsedly
What is the ground assumed and the objects ayowed
in their resolutions?
lst That 'it 10 the right and duty of the Genera,
Government to prohibit and preclude the extension,
establishment or perpetuation of human slavery in
any and every Territory of the United States and
in any Territory, possession country over which
the Union now has, may hereafter acquire exclu,
sive jurisdiction"
I'd. That "the doctrine affirmed by the Nebraska
bin' --- sis plain confession Of the right OF the
slave holder to transfer their human chates TO anv
part of the public domain, and there hold them n,
slaves, SO long cupidy may tempt, and force shall
suffice to detain them in servitude."
Sd. That " unbroken experience attests that free
that wherever slavery is tolerated there free lubo,
dies out sinks into a mere satellite of the pl,nta
ton and its masters"
4th. That against the doctrines, tendencies and
national consequences involved in the Nebraska bill
we declare uncompromising war; and in the shirt and
faith of our fathers, will struggle to the last for the
reconstruction of Nebraska and Kansas to the
snnobling occupation and of free labor and free,
men,"
9th That I'VE denouncc tho abuse of the term
uon-interventioD, which is intended to uphold the
Intervention Of the State between the onpressor
and his victim and we demand of the royerpmen,
as primary duty, perpetual Intervention on the
side OF justice, equality and liberty, and in con,
sideration Of each innocent mans sovereignty over
himself"
9th. That, VIC absolvcd 10y the passage Of the
Nebraska BilI) from all compacs or agreement inside
the Federal Constitution, with reference to slavery
aud we take our stand directly on the nrinciri,
that all territory of the United States must hencefortb
be free territory, and all sstos hereafter mus. come
in as free State,
7th. That I'VE approve Of the course Of tbs r,oo.
men OF $, posponing and disresardng their
minor differences Of opinion or preference and acting
together cordially and trusngly in the sacred cause
OF freedom Of free labor and freesoD and vve co,-
mend the freedom Of spirit Of this and other s,.,es
sIhortng each to renouncO this party whenever and
wherever tina. party proves unfsithful 10 iresmons
freedom"
Such are tho doctrines avowed, such the object
boldly announced of this Convention And in each
and every particular, have they been recognised re-.
affirmed endorsed, and proclaimed by the Wbig
nominees Of the Syracuse Convention. We then
again proclaim our inyncibs repuzpanoA IN ,b. ,i.,
form and the candidates.
We shall again rscur and no short time to this SUBJ

consequence too vitality dangerous TO the Federal
compact, too nsdou1 and deadly in its wide spread
msshgnty TO the South, land her millions Of freemon

sumss the dignity Of concerted and reasonable con.
spiracy sgainst the Union and a. such we will en-.

not arrestsd-thsse politically insane men will ore

noble ship Of State beneath the Gerry waves Of civil
