Tac Whig Prexs and the Nhig Party, North
and SouIh--What Is to be D0nes
For the edifcation of our readers, respecting
tie present whereabouts and the future inten-
tons Of the wing party of the North and the
wing party of the South, we publish this morn
ing several extracts from leading wing news
papers, and one from Southern democratic
organ, which will serve to throw considerable
light upon the subject
The Petersburg (Va.) Intelligence, disguised
with the free soil and abolition propensities of
the Northern wings, as developed upon the Ne
braska bill, proposes convention of the wings
of the Southern States for the purpose of shap-
ing out their principles and policy as an indie
pendent sectional organization. The Savannah
Georgian (democratic) thinks the Southern
wings ought to act upon this suggestion Ivy all
means. Perhaps Mr.. Toombs and Mr.. Stephens
think So too, as the most respectable way
of getting snug and cozy corner in the
reorganization of the democratic party.
Per contra, the Buffalo Courier reads an
instructive lesson to the Virginia revolu-
ZIONIST. The Boston Courier (Websterian,)
proposes national cohesion of the wings,
North and South, upon the great principle
Of the restoration of the Missouri compro-
mise. A writer in the Boston Atlas suggests
grand Northern anti-slavery organization, in
Guiding wings, free sellers proper, abolitionisis,
and all such nc fFfse EfSoj1we Journal like the vir

ness proposes grand mass convention of the
wings of Massachusetts,, and of all others ad-
vocating the restoration Of the Missouri COM
promise and other anti-slavery movements,
with the view ofclearing the track for 1856.
From these widely-separated and revolution
airy views and recommendations of the North
| ern versus Southern wing journals, it is easy
| to foresee that the reunion Of the whig party
| Of the two sections is absolutely out of the
question. The Boston Courier, which may
possibly entertain some shadowy hopes in be-
half Of Mr.. Everett, still pleads for the har-
monizing of the wings on both sides of Mason
and Dixon's line, and thinks that satisfactory
reunion may be effected upon the principle of
the repeal Of the Nebraska bill. But if he has
nothing better to submit as peace-oHering to
his late Southern brethren, he may as well pro-
coed at once to the mastering of the grand
overwhelming anti-slavery party elsewhere
suggested in the North. And from the very fact
that not one solitary whig, not even Presi-
dental wing candidate of the North, could be
found in Congress bold enough to vote for the
Nebraska bill-the fact that Mr.. Clayton was
missing, and Mr.. Everett absent upon every
test vote upon the bill in the Senate, ought to
satisfy the Boston Courier, as it has satisfied
the Virginia whig editor, that the line between
the slave States and the free States is the fu-
ture Southern boundary of the great mass of
the Northern whig party, whatever party
shape, name, or organi cation il NAV next
assume.
Truly has one OF our Northern wing cotem-
poraries said, that his party 'is in transition
state" So it is and as there is not the least
visible prospect Of its reconciliation with the
Southern half of the party, the question which

ization, ola purely sectional pattern resting
upon the abolition corner stone of eternal hos
tiiity to Southern slavery. This is the project
OF Seward, of Hale, Of Giddings, OF Chase, of
Benjamin T. Butler, and of others, wings, Van
Buren, democrats and "free democrats as far
as their views have been ascertained. The red
hot Massachusetts, abolitionists, of the infidel
stamp, such as Garrison, Wendell Phillips
Theodore Parker, and Abby Folsom, have not ex.
pressed their opinions very fully upon the holy
alliance, ofwhich Thurlow Weed, Greeley. and
their more immediate Seward associates. are 90
much enamored. But the separation of the
wings of the South from their late unnatural
union with the Northern wings, will leave no
other alternative TO the latter than sectional
coalition with all the available anti-slaveyy
elements of the Northern States
The Savannah Georgian is doubtless in
spired with the idea that the reorganization of
the democratic party, its platform, principles
and measures, will be dictated by the democrats
of the South, and so shaped as to invite the
Southern wings to . fusion with the m ngains
