THAT NEW PARTY-sHALL WE HAVE TT


We are much pleased with an article which
we find i'm the Hartford C0urdnf, q lead ng
Wing paper in Connecticut, not given to radi
calism or fanaticism, but one of the steady,
calm, and respectable sort. The C0urant says
what every body must sec to be the truth, that
party lines are almost obiterated" and " al
legianee to party dictates forgotten" "The
new issues have pushed aside the old ones, and
new principles Of political action are becoming
motive powers in our elections. There is al
most dismemberment of the old parties" &c.
The Democrats in some sections have irrecon,
cilably split in some States on the Maine
Law, in others, on the question OF the interfe-
renee Of the Administration with local affairs;
but principally on account Of the repeal OF
tho Missouri Compromise. Many Democrats
are ready to break away from the Administra-
ton Yet, says the Courant, with excellent
sense, They are not willing openly to join
Wing organization under that name. They
have been fighting it too long for such sub
mission. Hence the importance of some neio
party that aoiH unite all the opponents Of the
ertenaon Of Slavery INTO one homogeneous
mass
although the Northern Wings are united, still
u
separation of the Southern Wigs. And it
the part Of Southern Wings TO cut away from
their Northern brethren, and hold a Conyen-
ton on their own account
The Co,,ant closes by saying:
alt will thus be seen that the Northern and
Southern sections Of the Wing party can never
hope to act together again. We regret the ne
cospsity that leads to this rupture. We regret
that the breach Of contract Of which the South
has been guilty, in the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise, has forced this separation. But
we love the principles Of Freedom better than
the success of party. This regret is deepened
by the sacred memory of Henry Clay, and by
the remembrance Of the patriotism Of many n
Wing from the South with whom we have act
cd. But liberty is more valuable than friend
ship, and right must soften regret. What shall
we do, then, ne Wings? Shall we remain to
gether rs an organized party, shorn Of half our
strength when the united possession Of the
whole was hardly able to produce victoryf Or
shall We seek a new organization with a new
name, by uniting with those who agree with
US on the principle of no more slave territory
1t is a question for Northern Wings to settle,
and il must be done soon0
The Wing newspapers in the western part Of
this State talk in q similar style. We have
quoted several paragraphs from the Springfield
R,pubiIcan, and have several others waiting for
a place, in which the editors commit themselves
fully to tho new-party policy. The Chcopee
Journal has the following:
We would like to inquire what there is to
be gained by adhering to the old Wing name,
and refusing to unite with Anti. Slavery men
from other parties! Nothing, literally nothing
The old Issues are out Of the way-nobody
thinks or cares anything about thom the
Southern wing Of the party has left III, and
joined tho Slavery extensionists. The Wigs
haze everything 10 gam, AND NOTHING TO
LOSE, By giuing up their old organisation
They can secure the blessings of Freedom for
oil territory that does now, and may hereafter
belong to the nation but if on the contrary
party prejudice shall prevent Anti-Slavery men
Of the free States from uniting, then the North
will DO cmpbatically nowhere.o
And the Westfeld Standard says
The North must throw party to the winds
and unite M one man in the crusade against
this giant evil. Old party ties are now effectu-
ally severed. Wing and Democrat will no
longer be names by which TO rally the freemen
Of the North to the polls. Those names have
lost oil power to charm the souls Of the honest
Sons Of toll. Tho only names which will stir
them to energetic action will be LIBERTY and
SLAvERyl"
We know that the Free Democrats are
unanimously ready for new Freedom organi-
gation. Shall we have one As the Hartford
Courant says, at is question for Northern
Wings to settle, and it must he done soon.o
Too POLITE By HALr-The New York
Wings stand watching with most benign a..
pect the ascensional movements which Millard
Fillmore is making towards nomination BY
the party. They suppose, good souls that they
are, that in climbing he has no design to secure
anything for himself IL seems impossible to
arouse their suspicious before hc has pocketcd
the nomination and run Of South with it,
They are as polite as Louis the Fourteenth
was ON certain occasion, and are likely to
gain M little by being 30. That monarch,
walking through bis palace one day, entered

ladder, TO take down magnificent clock from
