that the demand for capital is increasing, and that
this demand appears to be- to great extent, the
legitimate result of spirit ofenterprise and of sound
business operations
a. Hon Hendrick B.Wright, a distinguished
member of the louise of Representatives, has been
re-nomnated in the 18th Congressional District Of
Pennsylvania. Col. Wright is able and firm De-
mocrat, and just to the South on the slavery ques-
ton. The Resolutions below were adopted by the
Convention nominating him. We challenge the
Wing press to produce any Resolutions adopted by
Wing meeting in any of the free States, which ap-
proach these even in soundness. They are a speci-
men of Resolutions generally passed by the Democ-
racy of the free States:
"Rrsolced, That the patriots of the Revolution,
in achieving and establishing the freedom and indie
pendence of these States, indicated and asserted
the great principle of popular sovereignty and equal
rights as affirmed and declared in the late acts of
Congress organizing the Territories of Nebraska
and Kansas that nature and natures God appeal
to the virtue, the integrity, and intelligence of the
people to guard this precious principle the ark of
the of their safety and that the sufferngs
the perils, and the blood of the revolution will have
been wasted in vain and the dearest hopes of man
earth yielded up, when this great principle is
rificed
Resozced, That the Missouri compromise was an
act of ursurpation by Congress, and fraud upon
the people of these States; that Congress is sworn
to uphold the Constitution, and not to nterpolate
destroy it; that acquiescence in, submission to
changes of the fundamental law by Congress, would
be in the last degree dangerous to the liberties of the
people; and that the repeal of the Missouri compro
mise was a wise and necessary measure to eitace
from the statute books precedent violation of the
great charter of our independence and to arrest fur
thel insidous Entertainments upen the great princi
pie of popular sovereignty and equal rights"
The Union makes the following just and severe
IL
gencer to make party capital out of New York poll
tics:
ats chief witness is one of the most malignant
hounds of abolition in New York, the Evening Post,
a paper that bowls as bitterly against the Union
as the reasonable Tribune itself-a paper that has
been universally rejected by the democracy OF
the country. For ourselves we free to say that
the resolutions of the Syracuse Convention do not
so as far should have liked to them go;
and the may be said of the Democrats who
previously met at Utica and nominated Mr.. Bronson,
for upon each body strong influences were used to
prevent any expression in favor of Nebraska; but
this much is certain that the ridiculous and desper
ate attempts of the Evening Post and National In
tegencer to make capital out of these results will
only end in inducing all liberal to ask { If the
course of the New York Democrats on Nebraska has
not been decided enough, aehere, in tile chOle NORTH
and Vest, IS there UAig eonrentiom that has dar-
ed to go half 50 far IN support cte great prtncPte
incolred in that bill? Where is there Wing news
paper that has done it? Where is there a Wing
leader that has done it?. the Inteliigcncer is daily
enlghtenng its readers, through endorsed extracts
from other journals, that the South has been cheat
ed by the Nebraska bill, and that the new Terrific
ries to be free; and yet in the same breath,
that there is not wing in the North bold enough
to cut loose from the aboltionists by taking practical
common-sense ground on the subject of the Nebras-
ka bill! On the contrary, the abolition party has
taken captive the wing party in the North; and the
Intelgencer tries to break the force of fact sig
niticant and weighty by seeking out in democratic
politics miserable exceptions to the democratic rule
of devotion to national principles. The case of New
York, which it cites, if properly regarded, makes
against ITSELF for the democracy that met at SYRIA
cuse in the resolutions they adopted upon the Ne
baaska BILL by that act lost the antslavery
men who had been cooperating with them and who
left the convention .prociainng that the Nebraska
bill had been endorsed. No such instance be
produced from the wing party in the free States In
that party all is gloom and darnesSall is abolition
and faction-a is hostility the constitution; and
yet the National lntelligencer paper protesting to
be true to the constitution, rallies under banner
which only be carried to triumph the ruins
of the rights of the Southern Statesi"
NEW YORK WING STATE CONVENTION.
The Wing State Convention ofNew York held at
Syracuse last week controlled from first to last
by the Seward influence Myron II. Clark, of On
tario, was nominated for Governor, and H. j. Ray
mond Editor of the New York Times, for Lieuten-
ant Governor. The Tribune thus speakes of the
two candidates:
&c Mr. Clark has counseled and acted throughout
his Senatorial career with those termed " Seward
men," has been with the foremost in all meas
ures of resistance to Slavery aggression, and has
been early, constant and Jealous champion of
the Maine Law
Henry j. Raymond the nominee for Lieut. Gov
ernor is young of decided talent, remarkable
assiduity, and Legislative experience which will
prove valuable in the chair of the Senate. He, too
has ever been regarded in the divisions of the day,
as Seward man." though not immoderately
such as to render him obnoxious to the great body
of Gov. Stewards Wing adversaries. 1t will only be
necessary to have it generally known that he
not the author ofthe Anti-Maine Law articles which
have from time to time appeared in his Times, or
that his views have materially changed for the bet
ter since that journal commended Gov. Seymour's
Veto Message commanding the approval of all So
Der men, to insure his election by immense ma
jority."
The Resolutions thoroughly abolition. They
take ground against the Nebraska Bill-against any
more slaveholding States-endorse Seward, and
press exultation at the fact that no Wing member
of Congress from the free States voted for the Ne
braska Bill. They also denounce the South
account of alleged indications of purpose to revive
the African slave trade!!
We shall publish these resolutions in our next
