New-York daily tribune., 1856-08-16

The fraudulent assemblage of Know -NOthings
ard Buccaneers, who have just met at Albany pre-
tending to represent Wing party Of New.York,
have put forth an address, which appears in the
columns of The Commercial Adreniser In this
manifesto they very naturally avoid frank state
ment of their principles their policy the great
question agitatpg the country. "The distinctive
d" issues of the Wing party," they tell us, care
"wel known, and accordingly they need not re-
peat them row. But there is distinctive issue
which the Wbig party Of Nes-Yock never
omitted on every proper occasion to pro-
claim - and that is hostility to Slavery EI-
tension. No genuine Wing Convention has been
assembled in this State within the past eight or ten
years which has failed to set forth the views of the
party on this predominant issue. 1t is no wonder
that this bogus Convention held its tongue on the
subject When body of men come together TO
favor, by indirect or direct means the election of
Mr. Buchanan to the Presidency, it can hardly be
expe cted that they should think best 70 repeat the
words or revive the spirit of the sound old Wing
resistance to the extension Of human bondage.
Very naturally too, the only allusion which this
bogus Address makes to the unexsmpled outragcs
OF which the Free-State settlers OF Kansas the
