Tie NatissL whlss Of New Ysrk.
II will DO remembered that We have frequently eI-
pressed the opinion that the National Silver Grey
Wings Of New York, would not support the ticket
nominated At Syracuse, consisting Of Clark Raymond
Co. We arc gratifed to believe that this opinion
will prove to be entirely correct. There are now
strong indications that they will either not vote at
al in the coming election, else vote for Brownson
or otherwise nominate an independent ticket COM
posed Of mon Of national conservative views free
from the taint Of Abolition and the sworn foes OF
William II. Seward. That such will DO the case, VIC
confidently anticipate Indeed. the Fillmore Wings
Of New York have other alternative left them. 1t
viii not do for them to. denounce the principles and
policy of the Infamous Seward coalition and yet sup
port their candidates. They will be compelled there
fore. to take high and firm stand against them and
their schemes if they would preserve their character
for consistency and an honest devotion to the Con-
sttution and Union. We have never felt any appre-
hsnson as to what they would ultimately pur-
sue. But If we ever had any doubt, it is now dis
PEELED, seeing that the Silver Grey press with almost
perfect uunanimity zcalousy urging their polt-
cal friends to wash their hands entirely of the Seward
platform aud its candidates.
Sometime ago, the Buffalo Commercial Adcertiscr,
said to be the particular organ of Mr.. Fillmore, and
speaking in behalf Of the National Wings, boldly and
frankly told the Seward nominees that having basely
abandoned the Wing party and turned raving Abo-
ltonists they must procure votes where they could
find them,-that they need not count upon theirs
We give its manly and patriotic language. Comment
ing upon the circumstance OF the Wing candidates

says:
"a foul and dshonorable trick has been PLAYED on us
The Seward Wings who had majority in the Syracuse
Convention and controlled its proceedings secured our
appreciation of It's ticket by the adoption Of resolutions in
which We were able, for the most part concur. After
We had engaged our support to the candidates and e.
pressed our aequescence in the resolutions
evident that the moderation Of those resolutions was o. "
lure to entice us into the support Of principles wL
We do not approve. No sooner are we pledged than
the mssk is permitted to fall and Mr. ward and
other friends Of the candidates conspre place them OIL
PLATFORM and make them the representatives of prnc;-
pies utterly repugnant to those Of the Whg party We
foresaw at once what this all meant and whittier il all
tended; but We repro5ate hasty action and have waited
rather to afford these gentlemen whose name stand at the
head Of our columns opportunity for de6ning their
position. than in the expectation that they have ANYTHING
for themselves which will be satisfactory Ws have
not been hasty, and shall not be; but from the very fir,
Il has been decided that If Messrs. Clark Co.. swallow
the Auburn platform, hey must procw ro,es u,ere hev
can find them. They nsed not count on oursn
Being in comparison only a handful, and surround.
ed by every manner Of temptation, it is gratifying to
observe with what firnness and patriotism the Fill
more Wings Of New York still stand to their COLOR
Nothing can seduce or intimidatc them They arc
now, amid host Of inducements to desertion and
treason, what they ever have bcen-true men and
patriots and the ardent friends and supporters of thu
Union They deserve all honor for the noble and
manly position they have taken and 50 far as our
voice goes it is with all cheerfulness and pleasure
that We thus publicly award it.
