MIR. WINTHROP'S LETTER.

We receive with satisfaction any indication in the free
States of determination to resist the effort of the dis
unioniss organize purely sectional party to upon
southern institutions but would be understood
regarding all who thus resisting the republican
movement as standing upon the platform The letter
of Mr. Winthrop large portion Of which appears in
paper to-day furnishes the evidence that he stands by the
old wing banner and that his influence will be exerted
against the new phase of aboonsm gotten up under the
name of repubcanlsm But whilst free TO express
our qualification at the conclusion which Mr. Winthrop
has arrived we be equally free express decided
dissent much of the reasoning by which he reaches
his conclusion For example in his eloquent rehearsal Of
what the wing party has been and continues to be-
greet to find the following
"And, finally, understand by the whg party of Massa-
chuses party which depores the existence of domestic
slavery within the limits of the American Union, any
where else the face Of the globe which, while abstans
from all unconstitutional and illegal interference with il
whatever would omit legal constitutional effort to
and prevent its extensions which would rejoice to
operate practicable method for its gradual and ul
extinction and to bear m share in pecunary sacr
ices might involves which stands ready resist every
coachment and aggression upon northern rights and which
especially condemns and protests against the recent rcpuda
Missouri restriction and the reopening to slavery
a Territory consecrated to freedom"
If we have not misjudged the and effects which
have marked the Standardization of the wing party its
procvity seconalism described graphically by
Mr. Winthrop prominent If the whig party Of Mas
sachusets is correctly described in the foregoing extract
we must say that it falls far short of that nationality of
character which make il successful antagonist
Of republcanism.
Other evidences of sectionasm will be in the
tracts from Mr. Winthrops letter which publish to-day
But there suggestion in regard to the part taken by
few prominent aboonsts in Congress to get the lead
in stirring up sectional agitation against the Nebraska
bill when that first introduced by Judge
Douglas to which desire to direct special attention 1t
undoubtedly trne stated by Mr. Winthrop that when
that bill introduced "a handful of the ultra abolition
lists precpated themselves into the front ranks Of the OPP
POSITION and is possibly true also, that this hot and
indecent haste of this handful OF aboonists had the eff
feet to combine the South in favor of the BILL and thereby
to its passage For this attempt supersede the
ultra Mr. Winthrop deals sharp blows upon the
agtators but then he does ebuke them for entertain
ing dangerous sentiments but for not waiting and let
ting others less obnoxious the South take the lead
There is too much in Mr. Wnthrops letter condemn
and regret justify in joining neighbors Of the
Lntegencer in the feelings of ecstasy with which they
seem to have read it.

The full extent of the democratic victory in Georgia
can only be asceraned by reference the congressional

We repeat our remark then that the power OF the abo
onsts is greater than it before and these
Developments render it equally apparent that their leaders
are fully apprzed of the vital of the next contest
that they are thoroughly convinced that their every hope
of future success depends upon the result of the election in
1856 and that Just proportion they convinced Of
this fact will they exert themselves the very utmost
Hence il is that we hear such loud professions Of devotion
to the Union such hypocrca euloges upon the constu
ton and upon the blessings of both They design 10 de-
ceye and regret that these false professions have de-
ceived many honest, unsuspecting men
Such are the men and the doctrines which make up the
black republican party We have clearly shown again
and again. that the triumph of such party, advocating
such principles would be the destruction of the consttu
ton. When that is tramped upon and broken, there
is the black repubeansso insane as to
hope for preservation of the Union The constitution
and the Union nseparable-one cannot survive the
other We aarmist neither is it design TO fos
ter disunon spirit We only desire to the honest
patriotic and national Of all parties against the ma
and designs and the inevitable consequences which
must attend the triumph of aboltonism We believe there
is an overwhelming majority of the American people TO
whom the Union valuable beyond all price short Of their
own honor who will never willingly consent to its de-
sucton yet all experience tells that unless the tenn
perate and of every united they
may fail that unless they organized and their forces
concentrated they may be beaten by much less numer
GUS but united body. There is but political
ganizaton that does defend the constitution and
the Union from these fanatcsthe national democratic
party The place of every true friend OF the constitution
and the Union the pending contest is in the democratic
party.

Captain Reynolds has been recently dismissed from the

requirements of the law To avoid any differences however
preudca to his character for strict integrity and unques

satisfactory know that his dismissal should carry
with mpuation upon his character for strict proby
and honesty His accounts becoming deranged and final
adjustment being mpractcable without resort to judi
cal investigation the has been commenced and whilst
it is pending should feel it to be imprudent say
than that Captain Reynolds dismissed because the law
required his dismissal but any differences duplicating his
character would be unjust to him whilst the adjustment

Reynolds heightened reputation satisfies that whatever
result the investigation may show to his accounts II
will acquit him Of anything inconsistent with the strctes
integrity lie may be found to have been loose and irreg
ular in the keeping of his accounts and in that way the
court may find balance against him but have idea
that he will be found to have misapped the public funds

right whenever it is fearlessly presented TO them.
We commend the letter to the attention of those who
have sometimes charged upon the administration ee-soi
proclives well those who wish to for abolition
support by significant silence or, sti by making
platforms substantially like that made at Buffalo in ls4s,
