This party has now become !" a power in the
State"-it has increased beyond all former ex-
amples in the history Of parties--and 1t is dss-
tined to absorb the entire conservative elements
which all other parties have contained. No
thing can prevent its final triumph. Tho old
Whig leaders stand sghast They cry out
in the bitterness of anguish, "where shall we
go?" They have been made powerless by the
success of the American party; and what 80
natural-vwhat SO consistent with the spirit of
rerenge, as to join the standard Of the ahtago-
mist of this partys
The American party has prostrated all their
hopes of political advancement, unless indeed,
the sham Democracy will reward them as
recruits to its ranks! They look around them
and behold amongst the present chieftains Of
modern Democracy, hundreds of men like
themselves, who have been rewarded with
power, place and preferment, for similar acts
Of transter,--a pink is given--a nod re-
turned "all's right"--awsy these politicians
go--and though, at first, they saoear to adhere
to their "old Wings principles" as long as
they live, and a little longer, a few years will
find them "dyed in the wool Democrats" ready
to make oath, and to furnish certificates, that
they never supported single Whig measure
All these men will promptly become "ndt-
uralized Democrats" like those on that long
list Of names presented at the 28th and 29th
pages of the Madison" letters, who now con-
troll the politics of Virginia, and upon the very
principles laid down and followed by the pres
ent administration, to gire office to naturalized
foreigners an pre- ference to natioes, these gen.
tlemen will have a right to demand the highest
posts of honor and trust, prooided the sham
Democracy shall defeat the conservative Amer
ican party.
These are our views of the trWe causes why
such prominent leading Wings refuse TO sup
port Millard Fillmore, and we add, in conclu-
sion, that in view of the circumstances in which
they find themselves, it is not in our heart to
speak harshly Of them, but rather to commits
serate them that their case is so desperate they
are compelled to resort to 80 desperate
remedy.

SENATE.
MONDAY, August IS, 1859.

MONDAY, August IL, 1906
Mr.. T0oMBS, from the Committee of Conference
on the disagreeing votes of the two Houses on the
Army bill, made report that the committees
could not agree and the committee on the part
of the Senate recommend adherence to Its
amendment striking out the provision restricting
tho use of the army In Kansas to carry out the
Territorial laws.
Mr.. CLAYTON preferred the motion to insist,
willing to leave the door of Cancellation open to
the last.
Much discussion followed between Messrs. SEW.
ARD, HALE, and TRUMBCLL in favor of the
course Of the House, and Messrs. CASS, MASON,
DOUGLAS, CLAYTON, BUTLER, TOOMBS, and
BAYARD against
Mr.. CASS declared that the failure TO make pro-
vision for the army would result in its disband-
mcnt the measure would be revolutionary, and
in effect TO destroy one of the branches of the
government.
Mr.. TRUMBULL insisted that the fault would
be with the Senate; that the House had agreed to
give twelve millions of dollars for the support of
the army, with only condition that the public
highways should be kept open.
Finally the question was changed so as to insist
instead of to adhere TO its amendment, striking
out the Kansas proviso, and this was carried-aycs
SO, nays IL.
An act for the relief of VIM Humphreys was
passed.
The Senate then took up private bills, from the
House, which had been amended, and passed
numbers of them.
An act increasing the pension of Rev. Daniel
Waldo chaplain to the House of Representatives,
was passed.
Mr.. HUNTER moved to extend the session from
IL to o'clock to day. it being understood that the
House had determined to do so. Agreed to-

The Abolition Radicals and the Judiciary
of Massachusetts,.

Mr.. Wendell Phillips, in speech at Arlington
on the 1st OF August, upon the occasion Of the
celebration Of the anniversary Of the British West
India emancipation, alluded, with much glee, to
the fact that a mob in Wisconsin broke open jail
to deliver fugitive slave, and then added, as we
take from his speech written for the Liberator:
If the antislavery spirit exists, let IT speak out
in Massachusetts,, as it has done in Wisconsin. Go
and elect man for Governor who will march the
Massachusetts, militia down to Boston before an
other fugitive slave shall be taken out of the CITY,
[Cheers. Go and elect a man who shall replace
Chief Justice Shaw with somebody that shall de-
clare the Fugitive Slave Law unconstitutional. You
have nominated Mr.. Gardner. Suppose he is
elected this fall Chief Justice Shaw wants to re-
sign he has said to Gardner that he will resign
whenever he finds anybody to take his place. Two
gentlemen Of the bar have been applied to, and
have declined; third is named-the Professor of
Law at Harvard College the man who, within elk
months, read to his pupils an elaborate argument
TO prove the Fugitive Slave Law constitutional!
Suppose Gov. Gardner re-elected-suppose Chief
Justice Shaw, wearied with years and sickness,
signs, and Prof Joel Parker is made Chief Justice.
The Office is for life. You have got another in
cubus on the State. Ii is most critical period.
Our Supreme Bench is to be filed within year
or two. Massachusetts, has not elective judges.
She has judges for life. Henry j. Gardner may
die and be forgotten, (thank God for the blessing
of death y but he may leave behind him Chief
Justice that may last for forty years, and plague
our children for years to come. Watch this CEN
trail power of the government that lies behind the
judiciary. We shall never redeem Massachusetts,
until we conquer the bench. We want Cover.
nor, we want q succession of Governors that shall
fll up that bench with John A. Andrew, of Hing
ham, [cheers, with John w. Browne, of Boston,
[renewed cheers, and men of that stamp; law
yers who have not yet parted with their hearts
men who recognise Coke and Blackstone, but who
also recognise the higher law above. Give us such
bench as that, and for one, do not care what
you do in Congress, for will make this little State
30 hot that stakeholder shal ever set foot upon
It, and no fugitive slave in the country, even if he
come from the ext eme point Of Florida, shall ever
find the climate too cold. Loud cheers.

We publish to-day the Address put forth by the
National Wing State Convention of New York,
which assembled ut Albany on Thursday last. 1t
discusses with mastery ability the position and
principles Of the Republican" and Democratic
parties, and calls upon the old-linc Wings to rally
to the support Of Fillmore and Donelson. We
commend this Address to the attention Of our
Whig readers II, after Its perusal they can sup.
port either Fremont or Buchanan, we shall regard
them as "past praying for.
The delegates appointed by the New Yo'k Con-
vention TO attend the National Wing Convention

So able a delegation has not been sent by New

State is now regarded as safe for Fillmore beyond
all possibility of failure.
