The New York Journal of Commerce publishes a circu lar purporting to be a call ot the Union m< nos Massachu sett.f tor a Smte Union Convention, to be held at Newbury port, on the sth of September next, “to lake into considera tion the ways and means, then and the:* to be presented, lor the total abandonment of all existing parties, and the organization, under entire new ism** and measures, of an Independent State and National Union Party, upon a broad, deep and lasting foundation.” The circular says: This new party will be devoted to the cause of Nation al Union. It will be piedsed to uphold the Constitution, the Union and the Laws, and to -tand by our country and Na ti *nal Government, long after all other parties cease to have an exi tence. Under its Ftate organization it will withhold its support in all f. ture t-tate and National elections from eveiy ele ment of disunion, and from all candidates for office not p edged to carry out the piinciples, policy and measures of this new party. We also unite in a call for a National Union Party Con vention, in the city of Washington, on the 22d of February next, to betully represented by the Union men of all parties and by the American people from every Congressional Dis trict, fctate and Te;ritory of the American Union. In the belief that the pre.-ent organization of political patties under their antiquated is.-uee, policy and measures, tends to separate the Government from the people, and endanger the Union, Liberty and Independence of the Ame;ican peopje, we urgently recommend an immediate abandonment of all existing parties,and a simultaneous ac tion of the Union men of Massachusetts with those ot the South and great W est, under entire new measures, in which all can consi tently and harmoniou.-ly unite in advancing the great National interests of the American Union. Among the distinguished politicians who have been invi ted, and who are expected to be present, are Hon. Robert Toombs and Hon. A. H. Stephens. We find the above paragraph in our exchanges. It is the response of Massachusetts to the call of Toombs and the Conservative Party of Georgia, and is but a continuation of the movement which placed Webster and Jenkins in nomination for President and Vice President in opposition to Scoit and Graham. © hail it as an omen of good— a bow of promise upon the dark and threatening cloud of Whig Aboli tionism which has so long lowered upon the Northern horizon. It is very true that the Whig Party is ut terly crushed, its principles condemned and repudiated, its leaders dispirit* and, divided and driven from power, its cohorts disbanded ; that the very name it bore has beemne a by.word and hissing through the land ; that it is impossible to resuscitate it ; that the great body ot the party at the North is hopelessly committed to Free-soilisrn and Abolitionism 5 that no Southern party could live for a day which affiliated with them, and that a re-organization upon other principles, under other flags, and another name, is an absolute necessity, and that we have no confidence in the men, North or South, who now propose to generate the new party—yet we are re joiced to see the effort to do so, and hail it as a harbin ger of peace, and as the highest evidence of the puri ty of the present administration. We claim that the Southern movement is the prime cause of this attempt at the formation of a new party among the Whigs. We taught the North that the pillars of the Union could be shaken—that their tyranny, usurpations and fanaticism could drive the South out of it—that their unjust gains could be ta ken from them—we forced tile national Democracy to adopt our principles and incorporate them into the party platform—we repudiated their time-serving politicians, and took from the granite hills of New Hampshire a rather obscure man, and elevated l.ini to the Presidency, soi.ly because he was true to the Constitution and the South. By our chosen chief we excluded from our party every man who would not adopt the party faith and thereby give pledges of his fidelity to the Constitu tion and the South —we elevated such men as Davis and Cu>hing and Soulr to office, and put the ship on the old Republican tack—we cat ried the country with us—we trampled Whigaery and Whigs. Abolition and Abolitionists, Free Soil and Free Soilcrs in the dust, and were thus insured of a certain, safe and permanent victory, unless our old enemies abandoned their princi ples and followed in our wake. They are now striving to do so 5 we bid them Cod speed, and hold out our hands to help them, and hope the same success will at tend their efforts which has crowned ours. Os course the new party will be composed of Whigs—of Free Soil M higs—of Abolition Y\ higs—of Union Whigs—but if each faction will recant its errors, adopt the Dem ocratic faith on the subject of slavery, and honestly strive, by a strict adherence to the Constitution, and a proper respect for the rights of the South, to perpetuate the L nion, we will hail the new organization as worthy comp, titors for public confidence and national honors. There is, however, one view of this new movement which must not be lost sight of by our readers- The new party will be composed mainly of Federalists and M higs; and though by the terms of the contract of organization the subject of slavery may be made forbid den ground, it cannot be disguised that they will apply their latitudinariao views of construction to all questions of policy which may hereafter arise, and thereby con tinue, as they have heretofore done, to concentrate power in the federal Government, and weaken the in fluence and deny the rights of the States. There is also another view worthy of some consider ation. The great mass, North, of which this new party will be composed, are, or w t -re, Free Soilers. Os course No them Democrats who are sound upon the slavery question cannot be won from their allegiance to a Presi aS S^ent a l° n g life in opposing Abolitionists, and Free Soilers, and every other faction which put the nion in peril. The recruits for this new party, con sequently, must be taken from the Whig ranks’ all of whom, at the North, were Free Soilers. Now the Southern branch of the new party has sworn eternal hostility to these disturbers of the public peace ever since Fillmore went out of office, and make it the chief ground of their opposition to Mr. Pierce's ad ministration that he gives them some few-cruinbs from the public crib, though ho assures us that no mar. has ceived any, even the smallest office, who Kas not en orsed the patty platform and his own inimitable inau r Ufa ii .ks Cons ' s tent, therefoie, they ought to re -6S J 1 ult ‘ on W|, h Northern Whigs, even though ey endorsed the platform lately erected at Milledge j?V ?“ C f a Fre ° Soiler always a Hree Boiler/* e t ier motto with respect to Pi ERCE, and it is a bad rule that will not work both ways.

The Western Mails. —The ii regularity and uncer tainty which attend the receipt of the mails from poiuts west of Columbus, render this branch of the service a source of perfect annoyance to us. It is no uncommon thing of late, to receive our Montgomery, Mobile, and New Orleans exchanges tico days after th.w are due, and we not unfrequently find Western news items published in the Augusta and Charleston papers twenty'four hours in advance of us. We think this circumstance establish es the fact that the.fault of which we complain does not occur with the publishers or the post-masters in those cities, for we have no doubt our exchanges are mailed regularly with those of our Augusta and Charleston co temporaries Why, then, do we not receive them as reg ularly and as early ? We suspect that the difficulty ex ists on the Montgomery and West Point Railroad. The mai s for this < ky should be forwarded.via Columbus, and the trains should be run on the Montg* mery and We t Point Railroad, so that the stage from Opelika can con<= nect at Columbus with the train on the Muscogee Rh 1- road that leaves there ,at 8 A. M. If this was done we should receive our Western papers regularly and in time, by the morning train of cars. M e receive them sometimes in the morning and sometimes in the evening, alwas behind time, which we think proves either that our mails are carelessly forwarded via Atlanta, or are detain ed at Opel ka from similar carelessness, or the want of a proper and regular connexion between Opelika and Co lumbus. From whatever cause, howevtr, these irregu lariii. s occur, we call attention to the fact that our mail facilities from the West are not only as. urce of annoyance but a nuisance of which we are quite tired, and hope that parties concerned may adopt measures to remove the diffi ultiesof which we now justly complain. For the benefit of this city, in this behalf, it will be a matter of rejoicing to all when the Girard and Mobile Railroad is finished, so that we may have our mail facili ties without interruption.— Sav. Rep, [for the times and sentinel.] No. 2. I have said that the end and aim of the party organiza tion lately attempted by the Webster Whigs at Milledge vjlle, at the head of which they have placed Mr. Jenkins, was the creation of an anti administration party. In the plat form they laid down, and in its exposition by Mr. Tombs in his late speech in this city, but one ground of objection is urged against the administration. Indeed, Mr. Toombs emphatically proclaimed his adhesion (and conversion, I •nay add,) to the known political principles of the President. He was only afraid they would not be carried out in prac tice, and he wanted to form a purer party than the demo cratic party, to maintain its own principles. The Jenkins nominating Convention expressed the same distrust of the whig party that it did of the democratic party, and express ed the opinion that it “had been faithless to its oft repeated pledges,” &c. But the point of objection insinuated, rather than made against the administration, is set forth in their third resolu tion ; which, after re-affirming the doctrines of the report and resolutions of the Georgia Convention of 1850, goes on to say, “that we consider the rights of the Southern States ‘as in great and imminent danger, and the principles of the “Georgia Convention greatly jeoparded by any political “party, whatever may he its name, which recognizes abo “litionists and free soilers as worthy of public honors and “public emoluments .” This resolution, sir, was framed and adopted to strike at this administration, by men who elected Gen. Taylor, sup ported Filltnore, and have just come out of an abortive at tempt to make D. Webster President. Now I affirm, and can prove, that there was not an appointment made by Pre sident Fillmore North of the Potomac, that was not a greater wrong to the principles now declared, and a greater insult to the South, than any Gen Pierce has made form the Barnburner ranks. Dix himself, about whom the greatest outcry is made, was a mild free soiler, in comparison with D. Webster, who had the full confidence of Toombs & Cos., and on whose ticket Jenkins occupied the place of Vice- Presidential candidate. I beg the reader to indulge with me a little in historical reminiscence, to obtain light on the subject. Who are the Barnburners ? Down to the Presidential campaign of 1848, they were good and true democrats with whom the democ racy of the South were proud to associa’o. They went for Texas annexation ; they went for the extension of slavery over Texas ; they went for the Mexican war, and they sup ported all the doctrines of the great democratic party of the country. In 1848, there was a split, and the crime of the N. Y. Barnburners, what did it consist in ? Why, if Mr. Webster be good authority, it consisted simply in their having stolen the obnoxious doctrine of the Wilmotprovi so from the whigs ! and as soon as they committed the theft, the N. Y. Hunkers separated from them, and the Barnburners joined Seward and Greeley and Fillmore and Wood, and all the allies of Whiggery, North and South. The consequence was the defeat of Gen. Cass. But let Mr. Webster give his own account of this matter —bearing in mind, that when he made this speech, denouncing Dix and other N. Y. democrats for stealing whig thunder, he was Mr. Fillmore’s Secretary of State. “Down to the period of the annexation of Texas, all the democratic party followed the party doctrines, and went for the annexation, slavery extension and all. The opposi tion of this measure proceeded in the first instance solely from the whigs. I say, the whigs a one, tor it is notori ous that nobody else, either in the East, West, North or South, raised a finger against it. If such an effort, was made, it was so inconsiderable that it attracted no no tice till, by the efforts of the whigs, the people were roused to a sense ot their danger, and a feeling of opposition to the extension of slave power. Then, and not till then, the Barnburners seized upon this branch of whig doc trine and attached it to their policy, merely to give them a certain predominancy over their rivals. “t higinally, therefore, the Barnburners had no more to do with the doctrine of free soil than with the question of masonry or anti-masonry. They only adopted it to secure an advantage over the Hunkers. But, having appropriated this just sentiment, though still retaining all the rest of the thirty-nine articles of the Locofoco creed, they now call upon the whigs of Massachusetts to enlist under them ! —I had almost said to be subsidized by them, only to give them the ascendency in New-York politics! For one, I propose to do no such thing. Ido not like the service. “I repeat, that this Buffalo platform, this collect of the Barnburners, contains no new thing tiiat is good ; it has nothing new which the whigs of the Middle and North ern States might not adopt. But it is going too far for that party to ask the whigs of A1 assachusetts to carry that mat ter into their state election.” “We well know, gentlemen, that the Buffalo platform contains nothing in relation to this matter which does not meet the approbation, and the unqualified approbation, of the whigs of the Northern States.” Here we have the proof, then, that the Northern whig party were the inventors of the free soil doctrine. J. Q. Adams’ war on the 2ist rule, and the Fillmore Erie letter, contained the germ of the creed. Indeed, at a later day, Mr. J oombs, of Ga., in a published letter, has declared that the whig party had become ‘thoroughly abolitionized and sectionalized.” But Mr. Toombs and his friends stood by and supported this party for ten years after this had hap pened. Now, let us further follow the Barnburner history. Their quarrel with the national democratic party was maintained for nearly four years ; and during all that time, they were regarded as schismatics, placed by their non-conformity to its conservative principles on the slavery Question, beyond the pale of the democratic party. I am sure, readei you have never heard of a Northern whig, excommunicated on account of his free soil principles. At the beginning of the late Presidential campaign, this schism was healed, and Hunkers and Barnburners (with few exceptions) met at Baltimore, and nominated Gen. Pierce, on a platform eminently conservative, and which even Mr. Toombs approves. No Barnburner could adopt that plat form without a recantation of the peculiar tenets of Buffa lo. It declares the slave rights of the South under the Constitution ; and re-affirms, in hoe verba, the great State Rights landmarks of the Kentucky and Virginia resolu tions. The Barnburners as a party, then have repudiated their Buffalo heresies, and those Editors and individuals who have not done so, are not considered as maintaining the re united national democracy, and none of them have re ceived office at the hands of President Pierce. More than that, the President has publicly declared through his official paper, the Union, that none such will meet the countenance or favor of the government; and that if he has, through inadvertence, made a mistake in this respect, he stands pledged to correct it, whenever it can be shown that he has appointed such an one. W hat then, 1 ask, becomes of the petty insinuation against the administration contained in the 3d resolution of the Jenkins Convention, quoted above ? It is a flash in the pan—and leaves the Jenkins opposition party without a pretext or a murmur of just discontent, to cover its naked ness, as a purely personal, selfish, and factious opposition. And with these facts staring the people of Georgia in the face, how do Messrs. Toombs, Jenkins & Cos. dare to reproach any administration with free soil and abolition af finities ? They are themselves just reeking from the mere tricious political embraces of Pillmore and Webster and their party, who have never, like the Barnburners, recanted their errors. They have never, in their lives, supported any administration that was not, in the very language of their own resolution, “imminently dangerous to the rights of the Southern States, because it recognized abolitionists and free soilers as worthy of public honors and public emolu ments.” And the reason that they never have, is because they have always supported whig and nevei democratic administrations. At last, these gentlemen have discovered their error and confess that the whig party is “abolitionized and how do they seek to repair the error? Not by joining the democratic party, which-has always maintained its in tegrity, although at the expense of defeat, but by trying to pull down that party to the level of ruin, to which false principle and bad men have brought the whig party. No, gentlemen. You have overtasked your strength—you can not pull down the great democratic party that has endured and triumphed for half a century, on a plea so miserably false as this. The democratic party never has supported a free soil administration and never will. We have had our family troubles with this disturbing question as you have. But we have settled them, without surrendering to them. We have conquered our schismatics and brought them back to reason and the law of our party’s integrity. The democratic party has never been “abolitionized, as you confess youre has. We have not followed the baneful ex ample set us by our whig neighbors of supporting, Webster and Fillmore administrations; and vainly attempting to whitewash them before the people of the South. And, it we had, we are sure we never could have imitated that transparent hypocrisy, which is now’ so digressed at the mote that is in a brother’s eye, while their own were filled w’ith beams of appalling magnitude. Spirit of the Northern Democracy. The following .Resolutions of the Democratic Republican State committee of New Vork will show the spirit which exists among the Democrats in that great State in reference to the Compromise measures as a final settlement of the slavery ques ts. n. They are determined to show the South their willingness and desire to stand by and faithfully execute the contract entered into by demo crats of the Union at the meeting at Baltimore— that when they signed that agreement they inten ded to keep it, and th-it should this vexed and mo mentous question agan be thrown into the political arena, to accomplish the ends of sectional politi cians, it should be done by the South. The North ern Democrats will adhere to the teims of settle ment, and have thus far shown good faith. Can the leaders of the Conservative Republican citizens Legion party of Georgia, which is the Whig party, show anything connected with this grave question confirmatory of the Compromise settlement, ema natingfrom any of their friends at the North, by whatever name they may choose to call themselves I Don’t all speak at once.— Ex. Democratic State Committee. —At a meeting of the Democratic Republican State Committee, held pursuant to regular notice, at the Astor House, in the city of New Yo k, on Friday, the 15'h day of July, at four o’clock, P. M., Minor C. Story, of Duchess, was elected Chairman, and James I. John son, of Albany, elected Secretary, On motion the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas , It becomes this State Committee, as repre senting the Democratic party of New York, upon this occasion to declare to the Democracy of the Union its adhesion, and that of its constituents, to the doctrines enunciated at the Baltimore Conventions of 1844,’48 and ’52, to declare its approval of the sentiments of the late Inaugural address, and to set forth the views and principles of its Democratic constituency upon matters of State and national importance. Therefore Resolved , 1. That we reiterate our attach ment to, and approval of the Baltimore platform, and heartily congratulate the Democracy of the Union on the doctrines avowed by President Pierce, in his inaugural address to his countrymen, believing that the doctrines are sound expressions of our duty, as one of the powers of the civilized world, and ol the duties of the several States to each other under the constitution of the United States. Resolved , 2. That we coincide with the President in his opinion, that “it is not to be disguised that our attitud* as a nation, and our position on the globe, renders the ac quisition of certain posssessions not within our jurisdiction, eminently important for our protection, ifnoi in the future essential for the preservation of the rights of commerce nd the peace of the world”—and also with the principle which we all regard as fundamental, that “the rights, se curity and repose of this confederacy reject the idea of interference or colonization on this side of the ocean by any foreign power beyond present jurisdiction, as utterly inadmissible. Resolved , 3. That the Democracy of the State of New York re-affirm the doctrine of the inaugural, “that involuntary servitude, as it exists in different States of the ‘ confederacy, is i ecognised by,the Constitution ; that it stands 1 like any other admitted right, and that the states where J it exists are entitled to efficient remedies to enforce the j constitutional provisions,”—that “the laws of 1850, com m nly cailed the‘compromise measures,’ arestrictly consti tutional, and to be unhesitatingly carried into effect”— j that “the constituted authorities of this republic are bound ! to regard the rights of the South in this respect, as they I woul l view’ any other legal and constitutional right—and j that the laws to enforce them should be respected and | obeyed, not with a reluctance encouraged by abstract i opinions as to their propriety in a different state of society, ! but cheerfully, and according to the decisions of the tribu- j nal to which their exposition belongs,” and that the Demo- : cratic party of this State stands pledged, so far as it de-i pends upon the political and personal action of its mem- j bers, that every law adopted by the constitutional auth- j orities of the United Suites, including the Fugitive Slave law, shall be faithtully enforced within the limits of the j State. Resolved , 4. That we congratulate our fellow Demo crats throughout the State, upon the adoption, by the pres ent Legislature,of the amendment to the constitution, de signed to provide for the enlargement and completion of the canals, in accordance with pledges given by the Democratic party to the people of the State, a result mainly due to the unyielding efforts of Democratic Sena tors, upon whose course the people will stamp their ap probation, and which gives hope of the speedy completion of that great system of public works of which our State has just cause to be p oud. Resolved , 5. That a Democratic State Convention, to be composed of one delegate from each Assembly dis trict in the State, be and is hereby appointed to be held in the city of Syracuse,on Tuesday, the thirteenth day of Sep tember, 1853, at twelve o’clock, neon,for the purpose of nominating candidates for such State officers as are to be elected at the next election, and for the transaction of such other business as may come before it. Resolved , That these resolutions be published iu the Democratic papers in this State. Minor C. Story, Chairman. James J. Johnson, Secretary.

Mississippi Nenalor. —The following allusions seem to indicate the general tendency of the De mocracy of Mississippi to unite upon Col. Jeff. Da vis for Senator.

Senator, and therefore hoist to our mast-head the name of Hon. Inffcrson Davis.” The Mississippi an, the leading Democratic pa per of the State, says : “There can be no question but that one of the two illustrious men who led the Democracy in 1851, and were sacrificed then, is the first choice of the great mass of the Democratic party of Mississippi for the Senate, and will be supported by them when ever they shall ind cate their consent.
