address OF the O1d-I.lnc Nhigs OF
New York.
8 The address issued ythe Old Line WhigsofI
New York. from their recent State Conventiop,
at Albany, is an able and patriotic paper. 1t
declares that they cannot support Buchanan and
the Cincinnati platformrand declares that .it /
is moral impossibility that the election Of q |
President upon such platform can restore
domestic tranquility. or secure that ftiendHl
confidence and these- peaceful relations with
the other great powers Of the world, by which
alone can our vast resources Of agriculture, i
manufactures and commerce be adequately de- !
veloped"
They cannot support Fremont because he
presents none of the qualifications for the
high trust Of the Presidency, and because the
party which has put him in nomination is sem
inently sectional in spirit" ..It does moi" says
the address, spartake of thar fraternal, nation
al feeling, which, If the Union is to be preserv-
ed, must underlie oil political sentime nts and
action. Repubicanism, so called, if it keeps
within the letter OF the constitution, violates its
spirit, for 1t repels 10 the South from co-opera-
ton with the North. 1t excludes the South
from its sympathies, and igi .ation and sectional
animositiec would more certainly be perpetuated
under Republcan Administration than even
| under q Democratic Presidency. Civil war. or
violent agitation for fonr years longer, would be
the inevitable result OF MIR. Fremont's election.
We cannot be persuaded to contribute to such
a result:
Then coming to Ma. FILLxoRE, the address
nobly proceeds as follows:
Fortunately there is third candidate before
the country, who though not the nominee of a
i Wing convention, is not open to the fatal OBJ
lection existing with respect to the others; and
we are to a good extent relieved from our en-
barrassment. That candidate is MlLLARD
FILLMORE.

Made glorious Summer by the sos Of New York.
