PARTIEs-THEIR PRESENT CONDITION.
That parties at the present time, are IN state OF
utter confusion, no obeeivant man can deny. That
there is high probability of their entire dissolution
before very great while, seems to be equally GER
tain. We are not prepared, however, even to con-
lecture what is be the ultimate result Of their dis
membeiment Neither can we tell unless they are
to be reconstructed upon strictly sectional grounds
what principles views are to constitute the basis
OF the new organizations which are tosncceed them.
1t is better, at present. think. to let things pur
sue their natural course-they will come to a head
in due season. When preparations begin to be
made for another Presidential contest which Is yet
two years off, We can then determine, with all the
lights before what is test to be done for the pro-
lection Of the South, and the general welfare OF the
country.
AS Southern wings. however, we cannot shut our
eyes to the fact that in the late contest involving
simply the recognition Of constitutional right, the
wings Of the North deserted us, without solitary
out, to be sure, that Northern democats--f, as we
suspect those who voted for the Nebraska bill shall
hereafter contend that it recognizes the principle OF
"sGuatter sovereignty which the South regards as
more odious than the Wimot proyiso itself.have
only acted the part Of wolves in sleeps clothing,
ard therefore are not less guilty than Northern
wings themselves. Such, we say, may be the case,
and indeed is more than probable, when We consider
what the acknowledged position Of Gen. Cass is upon
the subject and rccoect the significant declarations
of the President himself, namely-that the Ne
braska bill is proposition in favor of freedom, and
that in the event of its passage although we might
acquire the whole Of Mexico, yet not another slave
State would ever be added to the Union" If such
be the construction which Northern democrats intend
to put upon this bill, we repeat that the difference
between thu I'm aud the Northern wings, 80 far as
either may be relied upon by the South, il about the
diff ence tetwiXt tweedledum and tweedledee. The
nsnifests its hostility to slavery and the South
in an open and default manDer-the other slyly aud
coyeitly, and by means Of contemplate trick,
We tlLst, however, despite our fears and apprehen
sif rs, that Northern Nebraska democrats will relate
our suspicious, and triumphantly vindcate tht ir
patriotism, integrity and good faith towarss the
South. If they do not, then Northern wings, even
the ;nhest and most desperate abolitonists them
selves, will have precedence over them in, the re-
spect and confidence Of the Southern people. we
can always face opposition and hostility, even the
most malignant and deadly, when it Is waged IN an
.ptr, rank and manly manner. But the idea ct
being betrayed, in the very act of being caressed, s
revctipg alike to our taste and our feelings, and
awakens all the scorn and contempt OF our natures
We said that Northern wings had deserted us in q
most important crisis. We say further, that their
present temper and purposes, as exhibited in the
spirit and language Of their organs, distinctly nd
cate that the bond of union between us is waxing
weaker and weaker, with every prospect Of its being
Uudly SuUUeIeO DeyOUQ Tic nope OF pOWcT OI re-
newal Certain it is, that unless they recede from
the position they have taken there is possibility
of our acting together in the futute It is well
known that even that portion of the Northern wing
press which has heretofore pursued the most mode
rate and conservative course towards the South has
latterly come out in tone of furious denunciation
boldly asserting that the Nebraska outrage has set
tied forever the annexation of slave territory to this

mission, at any time hereafter, of another slave
State into the Union" They 60 farther and declare
that Northern wings will be Content with no
thing less than an immediate and unconditional re-
peal of the Nebraska bill, and that they will
give their Support to any man for any place who
is not pledged TO such repeal" These Northern
wing organs take still another step in the direction
of downright abotionism and implacable hostility
to the South, and express great "fear' that the
Northern twill not be even thus easily salts
fed" They say that in addition to the repeal Of
tie Nebraska bill, and the exclusion hereafter of all
slave States from the Union, every vestige of the
compromise of 1850, and that connected with the
admission of Texas" is destined to be swept away,
ard that at no distant day. Such are the threat
enings and such the position of even the mildest
and most moderate of the Northern wing press, in
respect to the course they have make out for the
future.
unite with their late Northern allies upon no such
platform as that which their folly and fanaticism
have thus erected. They will cooperate in no effort
to repeal the Nebraska bill; and that seems to be

If the repeal Of the Nebraska bill il the only con-
dition upon which the unity of the wing party can
be preserved, then its unity is gone, and gulf of
separation is already between them and US. We
can have no part nor lot ANY such reasonable
attempt, but viii .sst it with the energy and
courage that become us. II they mean thus to abo-
liionize themselves, ami rally under the banner Of
Greeley, Giddings, and Sumner, we henceforth wash
our hands OF all connection and association with

company, and be to each other as strangers and
aliens.

DISSOLUTION OF THE WING PARTY-pH0PosED FOR

The disorganization of the wings has really been
completed by the rapacty with which the Northern
sections Of that party clutch at the control of the
government 1t is thought that the issue of slavery
or freedom is likely to be profitable than that
Of an Gd rdiortm or specific tariff. They have,
thei eore formally given notice to their Southern
brethren that the partnership heretofore existing
between them has terminated. Not only has the
hon. Mr.. Seward announced this omnous issue of
freedom and slavery as the sole question for popu-
lar decision, but the Hon. Mr.. Wade, Of Ohii, aud
Others, have declared the final separation Of the
wing party This is confirmed by the Northern
WING press generally The Nep York Tribune, the
ADMITTED organ Of the free soil movement consum-
