which must obviously be the same at beth ends
of the New York Central railroal. Which of
the organs is disorganized or has proved a trail,
tor?
There is much to be said on both sides. The
Register was honorably copied into the organ
Of the new whig antislavery party here, with
the plain view Of pcr-uadng the people that
the Fillmore wings had thrown themselves head
over heels into the Seward comp But, despite
the credit which this distinction may have con-
ferred, it is evident at the first glance that the
prepcnderance Of sense is on the side Of the
Buffalo paper. II is too true that '.the convcn-
ton has failed to answer the main design Of it's
projectors that "it has stultfed It's prcten-
sions;' and that Its language and its actions
fail below what its friends had expected and
the Buffalo Advertiser is entitled to public
gratitude for its laudable efforts in endea
voring to disseminate among the people of the
region where it is printed correct notions with
respect to these points. Nothing can be truer
than the view the advertiser lakes fthc whole
matter; and on this account we think ii far |
more likely that It speaks Mr.. Fillmore's mind |
than its ally at Albany. Certainly, unle.s the !
Fillmore men intend to commit political suicide, |
they will rot at This impor mt crisis throw |
overheard their old obligations to play second |
fiddle to The Importers Of William II. Seward |
And whatever Mr.. Fillmore's present political |
intentions may be, we are pretty sure that he |
does not intend to throw away the benefit of
his recent Southern tour by stalking his fortunes
on the ill-advised NOV, ment which Mr.. Seward
has set on foot. Still, to quiet the public mind
it would he well for the two Fillmore or ans to
set their instruments in accord with each other.
Life is too short for bystanders to judge be
tween the two-and unless they should come to
some understanding, the public will be APT to
discard both.
The troubles Of the great Northern p arty, which
was to sweep the elections and place William
h. Seward in the presidential chair, arc becom-
ing very complicated, and must be dreadful
source Of annoy ance to the leaders. First the
free soil democrats discover the sorry trap that
was laid for them, and secede in q body, leav-
ing the wings sole masters Of the field. Next
tome malicious ways of editors take it into
their heads to call things by their real names,
and style the convention "Whig Anti-Slayery
Convention This rude way of tearing of the
fimsy Disguise in which these poor Seward
folk thought they might pass unrecognized,
seems to ha sc shocked the leaders very much
1t was as bad as pinning ones name to ones
domino at masked ball The Seward organs
forlorc to cas!igate the free soil democrats
faced way because they were anxious to con-
ceal their family quaIrels from the public. But
the nefarious bluntness o, these editors was too
much for human tatience, and they and every
body conn, cied with them were accordingly
roundly abused for having ventured to call PEG
PIE by their right names. Now third miehap
completes tho measure of their troubles They
are repudiated by the Fillmore wings Of the
West. Before the convention, they were the
great Northern ADti-Slavery Alliance with
out distinction Of party;;" after the convention
had sat few hours, they declined into the
"Whig Anti-Slavry party now that they
have been disclaimed hy the Fillmore section,
they dwindle into 1.-THE Seward Wings" After
a few weeks buster and noise Mr.. Seward and
his friends have, as La Fontaine says, yederenm
Gros Jean CONNIE derant. They are, what
they have been for year,, sectional faction
Of disjoioted party, striving for an un
constitutional aim with view to crafty the
ambition Of an intriguing man. More than
