Important Movemenl-Secession OF this aa-
tion al " higs from the Seward Coalition.
We are gratifed to announce to our readers
that the national conservatives Of TIE late whig
party of New York have been making arrange
ments or openly "dissolviEg the connec ion"
which has go long and 20 unior innate y subsist-
ed between them and the Seward coalitionists.
We are informed that all the national Union men
of the late wing Happy Family lmore
men, Webster men, aud Castle Garden Union
Safety Committee men-having resolved upon
another effort to maintain their national stand
ing will meet tomorrow in a sort of indepen-
dent confidential State convention--perhaps at
Albany or somewhere in the interior-for the
purpose of shaping out their policy of action in
bly, be transfer from the whig State ticket to
some other ticket of from twenty-five to thirty
thousand votes
This is the only course Of self-respect and in
dependence which is left to the national wings
of this State. Inflated with pride and confidence
the Seward fusionists have very plainly intima-
ted that they can dispense with ali those over
nice conservatives who cannot cheerially fra
ternize upon the Saratoga anti-slavery platform.
This fastidious class Of The party after being
thoroughly despised at Syracuse, have been
ever since ijeered a., and tauntingly challenged
to abandon the Seward coalition il they dare.
Oh, yes! 60 over to Bronson; he will nee !
assistance; or to Seymour, who has but half the
democratic party 10 back him; or to Uhman,
who at las has got nomination, and wants
voters. Go, We defenders ofthe Fugitive Slave
law, Of slavery and shareholders, so to Broa-
ION, or Seymour, or Uilman-we can spare ye
alive don't want you Go now, aud vel
come for we shall dispense with you after the
election OF all events" Such, substantially
has been The bTotherly advice of the whig coali-
ton organs to all those wings who Hesitate to
join actively in the disunion abolition crusade
Of w. Ii. Seward against the South.
Now it strikes u.s. as it will strike the
submit to such insults and indignities would
cease to be objects of respect, political or per-
sonal, and that they would even be less entitled
to individual pity than to general contempt
Doubtless tie national wings of this Common
wealth have com, to the same conclusion
Nor is there any ground of compromise upon
which they can support the Syracuse wing CO
| aliton ticket. 1t will not do to denounce the
principles Of the coalition and yet support their
| candidates. This, to reverse the old soy Ing,
would be declining the devils broth to eat the
beef that was boiled in it. The only course OF
self-respect, of consistency and independence,
left TO our national wings, is to repudiate the
candidates and the resolutions the arch-agita
tor, his instruments, his allies, and his plans, as
proclaimed ut Saratoga, adopted at Syracuse
and as ratified by the outside anti-slavery fac
tons thus drawn into the Holy Alliance at Au-
burn.
We are, therefore, gratifed to state to our
readers that the conservative wings of New
York are to meet tomorrow to decide upon
their course of action in the November election;
and that they will most probably determine
upon formal separation from the Seward coa-
lition. But how will this effect the election ?
Perhaps not materially; but for future opera
| tons the movement will be of the highest i'm
poriance. Should these national wings fall
back upon Ullman, the Know Nothing nominee
as the candidate of all those in the field most
closely identified with their notions of whig
principles, it will be equal 10 loss Of twcnty.
five or thirty thousand votes to Clark. A
suming the Know Nothings to number so. 900
electors in the State, and that they will all vote
for Ullman, we venture to say, Including some
silver gIeys, 10000 of these $4,000 will be
drawn from the original wing party. Yet,
whatever the Know Notbings may do OF fail to
do, the separation of the whig conservatives OF
| New York from the Seward interest will, of
itself, be most important victory ofprinciples
| over plotting conspirators and spoilsmen.
Itappears that there is to be another CO I
vention, of the Know Nothlngs dissatisfied with
the Ullman ticket, at Utica, on the 26th inst.
As we understand, however, that these dis
seniers belong to Clark's little clique of ont
side Know Nothings it is most probable that
their deliberations will end in smoke, without
vitiating in tie least degree the orders and ar
engagements of the grand State council held in
his city. The ant-renters, it also appears
are to hold their State convention on the 2Gth
and ii is supposed that their two or three thou
sand votes will be carried over to Bronson or
Seymour. At all events, it is not likely that
the whig abolition coalition, with so many other
irons in the fire, will suit the purposes of the
free farm party of Big Thunder.
Dispensing with the Utica Know Nothing
dissenters and the ant-renters, as entitled to no
further notice, where the Issue depends upon
the change Of party estimates not by thousands
but by hundreds of thousands, we return to
the projected combination Of national wings
