OF the Constitution in reference to this much
vexed question, have been for several weeks
steadily and rapidly increasing in strength.

various anti-slavery factions the necessity of
a fusion.

are in the State of New York such num-
Der of national men as if united would be
able to defeat the Seward alliance; and we
trust they viii unite for this purpose.
We find in the New York Herald the fol-
nets of this Seward coalition and an indi-
cation of the means by which they may be
overcome
The materials thus fused together in this
fanatical and seditiOus conelomeration, are

Democratic party, the old Freesoil party

The State ticket of this fusion of the hy-

old fogy Whig, modestly seasoned with free

late universal hobby Of the restoration of
the Missouri line as an impractcable ab-
surdity, and they fall back upon the old
worn-out dodge of the Wilnot proviso-thc
exclusion of slavery from all the territories,
and the admission of no more slave States.
They refuse even vote of thanks to the
Administration for the appointment of Reed

in good set terms for his removal They
applaud the conduct of the Freesoi squat

for PasSmore Williamson in limbo, and are
particularly explicit in defining their posi-
ton against the Know Nothings (not the |
Seward branch, but the conservative Know
Nothings.) "and their secret constitutions,
oaths, rituals, and organizations They
throw in bit of humbug and clap:rap on
the canal question, and wind up by appro-
priating passage from the immortal eiFer- /

-Scripture,) as authority for their nefarious
designs. And they cap the climax of their
impudence and cool hypocrisy in saying not
a word upon the Maine liquor law.
The question now arises, how is this new
abolition league, this combination of odds |
and ends, this Mexican mixture of half
breeds-how is it to be met and defeated
We have in opposition to this dirty alliance
the national Wings the diUidea Democra-

pies Of the Constitution and the Union. and
the issue Of the repeal of the Maine liquor
law. And upon this particular question, in
spite of their hue and cry upon slavery, the
fusioniss can and may be defeated for the
Legislature; which is the major considera-

1856. The result of the late election in
Maine points out the way to the opposition

it cannot be denied that this Syracuse abo-

counter movement of the opposition forces
of all parties, and there is yet time to appro-
pirate the occasion to good purpose
There are already several movements on

not yet sold out to Seward and his abolition
