When the Wig shows that any journal OF author

Whom Mr.. Fillmore endorses the Nebraska Bill, and

nominees, we may think it not impossible that his re-
tanners are trustworthy. Until this Is done, the '|h'r
will pardon us for applauding liz Remuneration OF It's
Now York allies, and for Gdmiring the fidelity and
power with which it exposed their infamous character
and reasonable designs.

Of rcscuing the New York Wings from the contempt
end execration to which it had consigned them, We
plant ourselves on its original position, and maintain
that there was not n syllable in The manly and able
article of the Wig, severe and sweeping as was Its
deuuncia,ion, which facts do not abundantly justify.

bad lit could not be wolsc,l as our ncighbor represents
it; still, il was not sufficiently anti-slarery for the
Wing candidates. The following paragraph from the
Herald shows to what l0wCr deep of iniamy they have
voluntarily descended:
Each Of tho Wing nominees having rendered in his
unqualified approval and admiration OF the Saratoga
platform, il is fairly annexed TO that of the w higs az
Syracuse, and consequently the latter includes tbs
policy laid down in tho two following Saratoga resolu-
tions, to wit:
Resolved, That the deliberate Reputation, by the
slave power, on the very lint opportunity, OF Tie 80

tativcs, whereby the Territories now known us Ne
bruska and K"n-as were consecgntcd forever TO irer-
dom, has absolvcd MS from all compucts or engagements

pie that all territory of the United States must hence

Resolved, That we heartily approve the course OF
the freemcn of Connecticut. Vermont, Iowa. Ohio, In

garding their minor differences OF OPINION or prefer

this and other States. cXl"rtiIig each to renonncc MS
party, whenever and wherever that party proves uli'
faithful 10 human freedom.
Mr.. Clark, the Wing nominee for Governor, says
81 fully and cordially approve of and endorse the re-
solutions passed at Saragota. Mr.. Raymond, the
Wing Lieutenant, says of the policy and tn" rrlnc''
pies Of said resolutions: 81 approve OF both /" the fuii-
g., extent" Mr.. Firzfugh, for Canal Commissioner
gays: The sentiments, principles and policy embrace

State Prison Inspector, says Il can stand on IL"
other platform than that which has for its object the
overthrow of that institution thct holds it to be right
to euslave any class Of my fellow men,
While tho Wing party Of New York is thus ruiz
ming rio, in the widest EXCUSES of fanaticism and
treason, we rejoice TO learn that the rival wings OF
tho Democracy ac preparing TO unite on a common
platform, and in support, OF q common ticket. maj
hey may oppose n successful resistance 10 the amo'-
tious designs of Seward. Ii would be u gratifying
contamination, ii the Democracy OF New York
could forget their petty jealous!es and ieuds, and by
concert of action rescue the Empire Stnicirom the
ascenlency Of a party intent on the overthrow ot tut
constitution. According 10 our special te!tGraphic
advices which we publish this morning from Albany
.eys the New York Herald, "the executive commit.
tee of each of the Democratic factions is to hold Il
meeting to-day in that city with a view to the consoii'
dntion Of their forces upon u union ticket. The plan
indicated by our correspondent appears to US TO BE-
feasible, and easy of arrangement. All that IL re-
ouircd is to leave the Administration ind the spoils
out Of 1.-THE question, and reorganize the party upon Il
new Union and constitutional platform in direct lostili-
~ 10 the seditious abolition policy Of the wing coalition,
and for the express object Of forming Il nucleus Tor II
great national conservative party against the aboll'
,iou conspira,ors in 1856. Let this be done, and the
Seward coalition may be scattered to the winds Ill
November. Ii will require 4 few days more, in view
of this movement, to shape ont the probabilities OF
the election. There is yet u chance that tho sober
second thought of the democrats, and the cOnserva'
live principles Of a constitutional union platform, may
save the State"
