It's organization us 4 national party was bro

though scarcely countenanced at the time It
was uttered, aud ridiculed BY those who
wished for better things, seems now about to
be verified in an unmistakeableman All
Of the conservative resolutions that have
served to unite the Wings Of the North and
South are about to be if not already aban-
doned.
The Wings Of Massachusetts, with an en-
phasis chat admits Of no armistice, have led
the way, bygiving to the country an anti
slavery declaration Of war, in which the fol-
lowing principles are laid down:
l. That SO long ssthe Northern vhigparty re-
mains true. as now u liberty. constitution and
The Union, it has noAeed 10 abandon its organi-
zation.
Q. That the policyof the founders of our gov
Ienment, as evinced in their constitution and
ordinances, was averse to slavery and uncom-
promisingly hostile TO its extension.
3. That the Nebraska act terminates the era
Of compromises with slavery.
d. No more slave States, nor extension of
slavery over territory now free.
B. Vlndication of the rights Of Northern citI-
zens in Southern States.
s. The repeal or essential modification of the
Fugi tive Slave law.
4 Encouragement Of free emigration to the
new Territories
g. Asa means to all these ends the overthrow
Of the present unwise and unscruPalons admin
istration.sA
This is the ground upon which the new
party is based, these are the articles of their
political faith BY which the next canvass is to
be connected. To this platform all Wing
conventions must come back as the only al
ternative by which the party can be presery-
ed.
The design is open and transparent enough
The Wing party North is thoroughly embu-
ed with anti Nebraska and anti slavery sem
timents, and in the coming election they find
it all folly to act separately from the abolis
tionists, as there is no material difference in
belief and opinion, and hence have consent
ed to fusion. After this happy union is
formed, by which all anti slavery factions
will be commenced; and this union of fag
ends with the main body, win form a party
with power sufficient as they hope, to tri-
umph in every undertaking.
This fusion may tend greatly to strengthen
the party at the North. but. the South will
certainly refuse to affiliate. A party that has
consented to prostitute itself BY receiving in
to its pale the odds and ends Of all kinds Of
factions and issues will not. have the -co-ope-
ration of the Southern Wings. As if antic-
.ipating the eventof which we speak, Henry
Clay said, (" If the whig party is to be merg-
ed into a contemplate abolition party, and if
abolitionism is to be ingrafted upon the whig
creed, from that moment I renounce the par
