AIIuaiIN New York!

of our judgment and has satisfied the real
friends of freedom in that State that they
have gained nothing by their delay. We
rejoice to see that they are now convinced
and are ready for action. The New York
papers bring US the call for Republican
State Convention" 1t is to be held at
Syracuse, on the 26Ih Of September The
docunent and the movement are important
and We copy the former, that the Repub-
hcans of Ohio may see the purport Of this
new and glorious step in the Empire State:
REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION
The outrage peretprated by the last Con-
gress in repeating the Missouri Compromise
has resulted in the election of an almos:
unanimous representation in the next Con
gress from The Free States, hostile to the
extension of Slavery.
The recent Illegal Interference with the
elective franchise in Kansas by the Stare
holders of Missouri, shows this interest to
be resolved to carry out its purposes in
contempt of public opinion, and in violation
of the Constitution as well as of the time
honored Compromise it has overturned.
lfthe citizens OF the Free States would
preserve the permanent tranquility of the
Union it can be done only by firmly main
tanning their rights under the federal COM
pact, and resolutely enforcing the legitimate
powers of the United States Government
over the public Territory. Experience has
shown that concession only leads to new
usurpation, and that in its struggle for po-
litical power the Slave interests is equally
regardless of the obligations of plighted
faith and of Federal Constitution.
Upon the issue now forced upon the
country, New York is bound by every con-
sideration, whether we look at her past
history or to her present and future inter
csts, to express no doubtful or hesitating
opinion.
Good faith to her sister States requires
the clear expression of her firm determina-
ton to adhere to but rot to extend The COM
promises Of the Constitution.
That determination cannot be manifest
ed by placing the State government in the
hands Of party which boasts TO have been
the steadfast and faithful ally of the slave
holding interest or of a secret association
whose representatives from this State in
the Philadelphia Convention, by their slav-
cry proclivities, provoked the con,emptuous
Reputation of their principles and low
ship by the delegates from the other free
States. In such hands the honor and char
acter OF the Empire State would be sacri-
feed to the sectional views of the slave
holding oligarchy.
The entire absence Of all other public is
sues is mos. propilious to the expression Of
the opinion of this State on this important
question, and with the view of afording 10
their fellow citizens a suitable occasion, the
State Committee appointed at the Auburn
Convention in September last request the
Republican electors of this State to ap
point in County Conventions on the 18th
of August next, two delegates for each As
sembly District, to meet in Convention al
noon, on the 26lh of September, in the city
of Syracuse, to nominate a ticket for the
State officers TO be chosen in November

To show that the fusion will be complete
and the triumph of the movement certain
and Overwhelming, We remark thai the
Wing State Central Committee of New
York has called State Convention to
meet at Syracuse on the same day. The
" Y. Tribune remarks as follows upon
this call, by which il appears that the ex
press design is to fuse with the Republi-
cans:
We publish the above call of the Re-
publican State Committee for State Con-
yention to be held at Syracuse on September
26, to nominate candidates to be supported
at the approaching election; together with
the call of the Wing State Committee for
Wing Convention at the same time and
place. The former call distinctly specifies
the anti-Nebraska question as the only po-
litical issue before the country, and declares
IN plain and outright manner that the
interest Of the nation requires that the ad
minis;ration of the State should not be
permitted to fall into the hands Of either
the Nebraska Democrats or the Hindoos.
The Wing call says nothing on these points,
But il is well understood that the pur-
pose Of calling the Wbig Convention at
that place and lime is to olTord an opportu-
nity-if the people shall so decide-for it
to merge itself in that of the Republicans.
Indeed, as we are informed, that purpose
was distinctly avowed by many prominent
Wings at the meeting Of the State Com
mite held at the Astor House yesterday.
when the above call was drawn up.
ave entertain no doubt whatever that
this disposition, which we rejoice to find
prevailing among the Wing leaders, will
be enthusiastically responded to at the pri-
mary elections, and that when the Conyen-
tions meet, the Wing party, acting with the
patriotic devotion which the crisis demands
viii formally renounce lis organization in
order to cooperate with the men of all 9TH
er parties who are dnited for the great his
torical work Of rolling back the aggressions
Of Slavery and securing at last 10 Freedom
It's Just predomineDce in the Federal Gov
ernment."
