Hear me for my cause"
IL after the orgies of fusion and confusion
among the Wings and outside political factions
Of this State at Auburn, within the last few
days, you do not fully realize the meaning Of
the incantations of Macbeth witches over their
Internal cauldron, then you may despair of ever
obtaining living interpretation of these lines:
"Back spirits and white,
Blue spirits and gray,
Mingle, mingle, mingle,
es You that minge may
And they have mingled and the result is, in
my humble opinion, the most seditious, demon
alizing, reasonable, and atrocious conspiracy
of disorganizers that has ever disgraced this
country.
The work was cut out at the Saratoga Flu
sonist anti Nebraska convention of the 18th of
August under the auspices Of w. II. Seward,
and his next friend, Horace Greeley, and his
confederates William Cullen Bryant, John Jay,
Benjamin f. Butler, and other Freesoil and
Abolition Wings and Buffalo Democrats. The
Wing State convention Of the 10th instant, at
Syracuse, having made their State nominations,
they were put to the test of the Saratoga Abo
lition platform, :" no more slave States, no more
slave territory" &C., and each Of the Wing
candidates in a letter to W g. Bryant and John
Jay, the one the Soft-shell Democratic editor
of the New, York Ereniag Post, and the other
rampant Abolitionist the voluntary lawyer
of every fugitive slave who falls in his way.
Nothing more remained to be done than the
adoption Of the Wing ticket by the second con-
yention ofthe Saratoga Fusionists on the 26th
at Syracuse. Now this was accordingly done.
The Freesoil party papers, calling themselves
the Free Democracy" next adopted the Wing
candidate for governor, though they repudiate
Raymond for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS And, lastly,
after violent contest upon the antecedents OF
Raymond, the State Temperance convention
yesterday adopted the Wing ticket.
The following are the nett results Of all these
piebald conventions since that of the Flu
sionists under the special patronage of w. c.
Bryant at Saratoga, on the 18th of August:
l. The adoption by the Wing party Of the
Saratoga Abolition platform.
2. The adoption by the Saratoga Fusionists
of the Wing ticket.
8. The adoption by the Independent Free
sellers of the Wing candidate for governor.
4. The adoption ofthe Wing State ticket by
the temperance alliance. asa
And with this combination of heterogeneous
materials, added to the Know-nothings, the
Wings calculate upon sweeping the State, by
at least fifty thousand plurality, over either
Bronson or Seymour.
But we hear Of mutterings of meeting among
the Know-nothings, and it appears that they
are to have a secret State convention in this
| city on the 4th OF October for the nomination
of their State ticket. 1t is said that the rank
and file OF their lodges in this State number al
least $4,000 voters, and that they are al
| pledged to move as one man at the tap of the
drum. Their ennaity is supposed to be directed
against Raymond, Wing coalition candidate
for lieutenant governor, on the ground that he
is the especial protege of Seward and Seward
is especially obnoxious to the Know-nothings,
because Of his persevering demagogical toa.
dyism to Archbishop Hughes for many years
past a base calculating servility, which the
Archbishop no doubt despises as much as the
Know.nothings themselves.
1t is believed that this recent order will sup
port the election Of Clark, the whig nominee,
for governor, because Of his vote in the Senate,
at the last session, against the bill for vesting
in the Catholic bishops the Catholic church
property Of this State, which is now, to some
extent, held by trustees. Ny own impression
is, that Clark win be elected by tremendous
vote; but that Raymond will be ANONYMOUSLY
swamped by the Know-nothings, who are near
ly all drawn from the ranks Of the Wing
party. lFF os-
There is current rumor here to-day, that
before tomorrow morning there may be, per
haps, the basis Of a reunion agreed upon at
Albany, between the two sections Of the De.
mocracy, adopting Judge Bronson as their
joint candidate for governor. If this is &C
complished, it will be through some unexpected
concessions on the part Of the Soffshells; for
the Hards in this neighborhood appear to be
entirely willing to Ego it alone" "Sink or
swim"
Thus much for our State politics in local
view. In their national aspects, they are of
the deepest import. The New York Wing CO.
alition is the nucleus Of a grand Northern pro-
jected crusade against the South in 1856, which
if carried through upon the plan adopted at
Syracuse, will wind up the history Of this great
American Union with the next Presidential
election. What say you, men Of the South
Wings and Democrats, what are your inten.
tons against this overwhelming Northern Alb
