THE SARATOGA CoNvENTIoN-AGAIN.

Yesterday we stated that this convention, nomnaly
called without regard to party, willy continuance of
the wbg leaders to divide the democracy and attach
portion of it to the trumphal of whggey The pro-
ceedings of the convention proved this most clearly The
convention when assembled found to be completely
under the control Of the old wing leaders They concoced
the resolutions and passed Them suffering amendments
not approved of by those who lead and control the wing
party The convention refused to nominate candidates for
the fall election who might represent the views the MAJOR
ty had expressed Such nominations would endanger the
whole scheme of the wing leaders The democrats who
had been drawn unto the convention must not be permitted
to participate in the selection of the candidates. because
they would expect of their own party to be placed
upon the ticket Hence the leaders contrived the ad-
ournment of the convention to Auburn until the Goth
of September. In the time the wings abotonists,
and their know-nothng allies to prepare ticket cal
cuated command the united strength of these factions
When this Saratoga convention shall assemble at Auburn,
it will have really but act to perform The wings will
control there at Saratoga and will confirm the wing
nominations previously made The democrats who have
aided in this latter convention will find themselves called
upon the election for full and thorough wing
ticket They will then be compelled to bolt and reoin
their democratic friends go to whggery besmear-
ed is with abolition and spotted with the mdew and
corroded with the canker of know nottingham Can q
with democracy IN his heart vote such ticket7 Can
New York democrat who loved Silas Wright, and with
him breasted the storm of abolition leave his party and
fight in the ranks of his abolition enemies Can any
friend OF freedom of religious federation, lend himself to
aid the schemes Of bgoy and intolerance Of this
cret society called knownoihngs? Weare they
not But if they follow the biddngs of these Saratoga
wire-puers they will contribute to these objects.
That this is So is not left to conjecture The National
Lnsigencer of yesterday copied article from the New
York Commercial Advertiser asaunch wing in which
these expectations fully developed The following
tract will enable readers understand and appreciate
the purposes of the wing party in New York They nre
substantially the in many other States We look
with confidence to the intelligence rmness and patriotism
OF the democracy to defeat them
From the View York Commercial Advertiser
There to justify stepping outside the lines OF
the wing party organize party on the basis of one
idea The wing party of this State unanimous in resist
the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise The whig
and the wing representatives from New ork were
all earnestly and srenuousy opposed to that fragrant viola
of public faith, and believe that without excep
on the wing throughout the State has steadily
tanned their patriotic with the utmost zeal and ability
On the other hand the democratic ranks have been divided
and subdvded by different streaks of opinion this subject
1t therefore seemed that those Of them who willing
temporarily lay aside their party predictions for the sake
of the great principle involved in this matter might with
much popriety be expected cooperate with in
working for restoration of good faith in legislation than
that SHOULD abandon position to take new ground
beside them We ciiiny rccone them ailies
recrs The hg camp. but could not perceice the justice
the erpedsncy Of hrorng dozen the 'cg coors and forming
army under diGerentGng.
there democrats in New York, elsewhere who are
prepared leave their high position of independence to
become wbio allies or "yccrts' in the wing camp
