KJEH 9th the two wings of the party, and if the question shall be decided by the State Couveutiou, it will necessarily be in favor of tho Secessionists, us they will have at least three votes to two in that body. Fundamental and vital as is the question, we are taught by some to believe that it will be waived by tbe convention, and that the party will be re united on the “ Baltimore platform." But the worst of it is, that that same Baltimore plat form brings up tbe question but does not decide it, or if it decides it, the decision is in favor of the Secessionists. Oh, that oracular Baltimore platform • that Janus-faced, forked-tongued reso lution which was pasted upon tho motion of Mr. Soule; a regular secessionist, sad which declares that tbe democratic party will cariy out tho Vir ginia and Kentucky resolutions “ in their obvious meauing and import! ” These are its very words. But tho qnestien arises, what is their obvious meauing and import in relation to Secession t— The fact of tbo resolution beiug offered by Mr. Soule would indicate that it was adopted in the sense he pot open it. Ou the other band, the Union delegates declare that such was not their view of tho subject, and that they did not intend to sanction his doctrine. All honest men should say, ** accursed be these juggling fiends who pal ter with usin a double sense ”—who bring up a vital question and then either decide it both ways for the pnrpose of “harmonizing the party," or in far or of the uisunionists. But our object was, to show that the leading organs of the Soothem Rights wing, backed by their most powerful lead er, intend to establish the secession platform at MiUedgeville, and to invoke the National Dem ocratic party and Gen.

We have no fear that they will succeed wo do not entertain the slightest appreliension'that any, or all, the patronage of the executive could make 8hy;<P9fmanent impre^sion tipon the settled conviction whiclt reigns in tho breast of every intelligent American, brought up under the influences of free labor, that slavery is an unqualified curse to a natiou. Our apprehensions, if we have any, are of a different character.. Should the impression get abroad in the free states, that tbe counsel which dictated Ais attempted proscription of General Dix were likely to prevail, and and P oor » lhe a gcd and the that the southern people had succeeded in arraying tbe power of the executive against all who share General Dix's aver sion to tbe extension of slavery and slave representation; we would pot like to an swer long for the security of slave, prop erty in the southern states. As it is, and looking upon the future with the most hopeful anticipations, we canriotkee how the overbearing and intolerant spirit of a class of southern politicians should be brooked much longer by the nation. We have, scattered through the north em states, a large and influential class of men, who are swayed to and fro in their political judgments by circumstances and accidential interest, who give very little thought to' the abstract principles of gov eminent, and who vote With one party or another without much reference to fun damental questions. This party, at first, yielding to their instincts, embraced the Jeffersonian pro viso, and the consequence was, that in 1848—9, the legislature, of every north' em state in the land, with scarcely an exception, recommended its application to the territorial bilk then before Con gress. The same party, yielding to per sonal and prudential considerations—to what we esteemed unfounded apprehen sions—when in a body in support of the compromise measures of 1850, hesitating but for a moment over the inconsistency of the two positions. One day they are for tho most liberal principles of free trade, tbe next, upon a slight change of the iisue.they will clamor for restrictions and privileges. This class comprises the material forceofilheJiaiion^and its move ment is irresistable in whateVerWay it may be directed, ft is controlled by no fixed principles, but mdves mainly under tbe guidance of its apprehensions. The time is Et band when this impulsive’ and unreasoning mass will move upon slave- ry. The political power of that institut tion, in this country, is rapidly diminish ing, and like falling material bodies, the rapidity of its deceut will increase in pro' ] tortion to tbe distance it has to fall. The laws of industry and commerce will quietly settle the problem which has so long vexed the politicians; and thenit to whom we hereby tender our tamr* mlFbeasmuch thefosbionlodacrythe ^dol^ce- slave-holder and slave-labor, as it is now to denounce tbe vendora of obscene books, or diseased butcher’s meat.
