CONSERVATIVE SENTIMENT.

1t gives us great pleasure to perceive that the
political signs are auspicous to the hopes Of those
uninfamed patriots who desire to see the restora-
y re-established, as well as the constitutional rights
Of the States, in unimpared vigor. There seems to
be drift in public sentiment adverse to that fanai
cal spirit of the North which, the more mschievous
for its sincerity, has worked with fanaticism,
equally fierce in the South to bring the country to
perceive, as we think, one of these signs in the pro-
ceedings of the late great State Convention at
Syracuse, composed of the especial and outand-out
friends of the National Administration, and in the
moderate as well patriotic spirit of the resou-
tions they formally adopted, and which we subjon,

figured by personal lmputation on the enlight-
ened Governor of that great State, which portion
