THE NEW PARTY

Evidence OF concerted movement to form great north
sectional party upon the single idea of hostility to the
South palpable Not one, two half dozen States
engaged in it, but the movement is cooperative en-
bracng the anslavery element in every nonsavehold
ing State The convention at Jackson in this State few
days since, act in the grand programme In Ohio
similar convention has just been held In New York,
the disaected and natca of all sorts and color TO
assemble at Saratoga within few days. with view to
thorough fusion. In Connecticut amalgamaton was
made at the last State election and we have Of
its fruits in the of the legislature just adjourned In
Vermont the caldron is boiling and in Maine 1t has boiled
In Massachusetts preliminary meeting has been held,
but the spirit OF Daniel Webster likely to animate
enough Of the people to arrest the diabocal work In
Pennsy vana the spirit ofev abroad and in the West
in Indiana, Illinois, and Wsconsnthe enemies of the
Union gathering together their scattered fragments
The new party will not be despsable in numbers SO
sectional has the whg party itself becometo such
tent is it aboitionzedso potent have been the counsels
of VIM II. Seward and the New York Trbune-that the
ganzation of great northern ansayery party is
paratvely easy work. Conservative wings may now see
the rock upon which their party has split They wit
ness the disastrous effect Of which they might have
controlled The predictions of democratic statesmen
undergoing realization SO long Webster and Clay
vedso long their patriotic voices could be heard in
the national councsthe party of which they were the
great leaders could not dwinde into sectionasm but
when Webster departed, not national patriotic whig
left in the North whose power great enough
stay the tide of fanacism which was sweeping away the
whig organization.
But while from these causes, the new party will make
nroads upon the whig ranks rejoice to know
that these ranks cannot be entirely swallowed up-tha
Notwithstanding detection and deserton have hinned them
there yet left many brave and noble soldiers who can
be seduced from their ealty to the Unionwho cannot
be induced to join in the gnobe song of those who would
strike down the stars and stripes
Destroy it ye who can
Deep sink 1t in the waves"
We have evidence of this in our own city and our
State in the thousands of wings who utterly repudate the
republican" party and spit upon its platform And we
have evidence Of in other States especially in Massach
sets where, have remarked the spirit of Daniel
Webster yet to animate portion of the people
There the first attempt fusion abortve coalition
meeting called at Boston, which, according the Cou-
rier of that city, consisted of five whgs proessed
democrats and about twenty ee-soilers OF the wings
called to the chair declared themselves OPP
posed TO any project of FUSION accidentally
present and gave opinion in the matter and alone
was in favor of the proposed mass convention of all who
opposed to the Nebraska bill Nothing was effected
Such the result in Massachusetts The example it is
hoped may he followed in other northern States and
believe M be followed if not by the party leaders by
thousands of the masses OF the whig party
1t may be that the democratic party will furnish
recruits to the sectional party but the number will be
few and their departure from among will be blessing
rather than an injury
In the crisis it is the duty of patriotic men every here
to stand by their guns If the cohorts of dsunion shall
be thoroughly beaten now viii be long before they
again make head against the peace and tranquility Of the
country
