This tribunal met in this City on Monday last -Tudrjel BaBBoiTiPand Potter presi ding;. The Court adjourned on Tuesday evening, there having bees no business of great importance brought before it. The " STJ.YIhlllirS" attempt to DRIVE the South into a svpport of the Administration. There was an extra issued from the Standard office in this City, on Satur day last, bearing on its face the osten sible design of arousing the Southern people in defence of their rights, and proclaiming, on very questionable testi mony, that a formal union' had ta placu " between the Abolitionists and Whigs." Such a declaration, however unfounded, is calculated to excite deep attention; an. I though, in the end, its iiw it poison may caase its death, yet the fear that some may bl eluded and im puted upon by its Jesuitical conception anil argument, nntl a sense of duty to the South ami to (he Whig cause de mands, that every citizen who values his pure principles and who would shrink from an union so monstrous, should at once recur to his position and promptly correct the public opinion thus sought to bo itillamcd and misdirected. We are not desirous to clear the Noi (hern Whig Party of the chaige of AhMitionism, at thn expense of any par ty either there or here. But when the f.icts are in mir favor when they in controvei libl v hhow that the Whig par ly of ihe north embrace as little of .iboli liotxitm tm any party there and when The ad mi ntsTa I i o itc rg ii ivfare end e a V or" ing, in the face of these facts, to unite tli.'in together they must bear the true charges thrown upon them, and occupy thiit position to which the candid jutlg mcnt of the people may assign them. On the adjustment nf the Tariff ques tion. Abolitionism, although before agi tated, began to extitc Ihe more imme diate attention t.f the Union. The South, the interested, the villificd sec tion, was alive in a moment to the sub ject. She saw the actors in this ex pected tragedy, and tdie was prepared -to scrutinize the course of the North n'iihout respect to party. It was then found that Abolitionism pervaded to some extent the entire Northern body politit ; and Southern statesmen at once took their stand upon the Constitution, j They reminded the North of their rights but. despite of their remonstrances, the Abolitiunists increased in respecta bility and number, until in '3G 3T the Southern delegation in Congress were insulted to their teeth, with thousands of petitions to abolish slaverv .some of them from sieves. And it was on this memorable occasion that Mr. Wise, than whom a more incorruptible and sterling Whig never existed.' boldly, proclaimed that neither himself nor his constituents would thus calmly submit to insult; and, with the Southern dcle- gatinn, left tlie hall.. Where were then Argus and is now paraded by the St.m the Standard's democratic" brethren j dard to operate upon the South. P.ut uf Ihe North, whom in times past, it we repeat, it - MUST FAIL.

And now, that tlie an minitration, uxitkd with i up Aboli- TION1S I S lave carried the elections in Ohio, (the State 4tcli this same Mor ris represents, ) do we hear any regrets of the Standard? Do we see any extras announcing an 'important crisis, bi with the fate nf this "treat country"? Do we hear anv pious exhortations to .. " i . . A ' adhere tj tlie Constitution".- Any appeal to the pseutlo democrats to dis unite them-reves from their, brethren in Ohio? Any appeal to State Rights men, to Federalists, to support those it may deem the guardians of Southern libet ty ? No! not one word to this ctleCt! Hut when the Albany Anti-Slavery Society, in an electioneering excitement, takes its position beneath, the banner of a Whiz candidate, we hear itsluutiest and most ominous tones! "A League!" and the assertion that the whigs have formally united themselves to the abo litionists! It would make the people believe that the whole whig party ure rak abiili'ionists and that no security is offered to the South, should it refuse now to march, "horse, foot anil dra goons," into the ranks of the Adminis tration! In the same number nf the paper which promulgates this circular which the Standard has given in an extra to its readers, we fintl nn article signed 'An Abolitionist," in which it is plain ly intimated that the Anti-Slavery par ty will not support the whig candi dates. They say that the "Whig par ty, have no respect to the opinions of the Abolitionists, in making their nom inations to ollice,"and that Mr. Seward savs he was nominated withoutany reference to them." And it is notori ous that tlie abolitionists look upon Mr. Clay as their deadliest enemy. This is proved by the abolitionist journals. The course of the two leading Whig prints in New York, the Star and the Courier and Knquirer, in 'DfiVKSCE OF SLAVERY, and the course of the Evening Post, the leading administra tion paper, in DIRECT OPPOSI TIOS TO IT. and the manner in which the abolitionists denounce Mr. Clay as a slaveholder, constitute ut themselves conclusive proof that the 'democrats' of the North are deeply im plicated in Abolition schemes, and that no victory can be achieved over the Whigs there by them, without power ful aid from their allies, the Abolition ists. The fact is, in the late New York elections Mr. Seward, the Whig can didate for Governor, was OPPOSED by the Abolitionists. This is proved by the Courier and Enquirer of the ?th. It says: " If .Ibolitionitm .or in other words Trru ton treann to the Union of the Slates in its most oiliont form had not raised ita hideous head among os, we mitrht proolairn, with certain til, that VM.

Then will political abolition be held up ns a bye-word and a re proach; and those who have temporarily yieldcj to it, look with acorn and indignation upon ihe unprincipled men with whom it originated Thank Gon the Whige of the State and City fof New York, while they leel as turn should feci on this subject, have clearly demonstrated that they al least, are prepared to hold .ibotition- t'srt as only worthy of being associated with itt'g liacK in we tacen i -''?,."-";;, , ,. ,Ilu c Focoimantl Fi.nnj Ifright .?-rwr?nrMrio"i,)l r Mr- Seward, and fliedet" at of tans. With lurm Itiey Have "couaigneu it to the tomb of the Capuleta," and the great victory they have achieved ia untainted with thia new fairglod species of treaton to the Union." ' In New York, it will be seen, the Whigs proudly proclaim that the "great victory they have achieved is untainted with tuis new-langled species of Trea son to the Union" Abolitionism Docs this look like a " formal union be tween the ab'olitrenists and whigs"? W'c believe thisrattempt to drive the Southern people into the support of Mr. Van lluren will prove abortive. It or iginated with the Albany Aus. It is its last hope. The cause of Van lluren in New York is crushed forever; and this trick upon the South is confidently looked to as the only means of prop" ping up his falling fortune. Bradish, the Whig candidate for Lieutenant Governor, in his overweenin"; ambition for office, to gain the votes nf the Abo litionists, gave in his full and uncondi tional adhesion to their odious and fa natical doctrines. This brought out the famous bulletin of the Anti-Slavery So tietv, which-was seized upon bv the South can never trust its rights to the on this subject in to-daya paper.

Al ready are the uotca of preparation heard at the "North already have the halls of Cuni-ess resounded with Southern eloqriijijjfce 'pleading for constitutiooat rights and chartereil prerogatives and alreadv have lorgans of the adininia- tratioti raised their Uorgon.iruni in op position lo slavery already have its I '.....j I j.n' tltA It.,!,,. Ill champion attempted-on,' the floor ol Congress to place the iron heel ol Abo litionism upon our institutions. Tlie Whigs of the Sooth care not for parties in this great conflict; they are,convinc ed that patriotism will impel to the on set every son of Southern chivalry whose aid is desirable or whose assist ance is'worth having. And if that con flict be-now, let ihe Standard, letthe pseudo democrats'' remember, that true Southrons are too brave to be a lanned- as they are too pure to be se duced into Uie Van liuren ranks as their onlv hope. They know their rights they know, their position they want no " democratic" advice, and they will scorn the tongue that would give false counsel or warning as they will strike bac ihe traitorous arm that would ove'rlhrowlhcir institutions. We shall expose hereafter the unten able positions assumed in this extra its appeal to Southern parties, as insult ing to (hem as it will in the eutl prove powerless ami contemptible. In the mean time, from want of room, we close these remarks with the publication ol the letter of the Albany Abolition So ciety, to which the Standard has at tached such a tremendous importance.. cuter I, ak.

SKVYARI), for Covc-rimr. 1st. Mr. Seward is tho c..'. J.Jaio of the party which, on tho floor of tionsirtss, nobly vindicates the itiestiinahlo right of petition, and as nobly asserts'tho freedom of debate; of the artv, also, that sustain John Quiuey Adam and William Sladr; of a party whose views are liberal and tolerant. 2d. Mr. Seward is tho candidate- of the party which, in our last Legislature,, passed resolutions uitain.it ihe admission of Texas into the.t'nion; agaitwt Pattern's jjao; resolu tions; in fuvor of iho right of pt-ti lion; and t'i ni-or olVrantiiijTtrial by jury to persons claim luoitive slaves. Instead of the dt-inmoialiotis and rc-vilitiijs with which ottr petitions' were treatf'd in years past instead ol' tlireatcninir us with penal enactments, the Whigs receir ed and treated pelilious and remonstrances with that respect and comity due to their con stituents. .'Id. Mr. Seward is iho candidate of the party that opposes tho re-election of a Presi dent who stands pledged lo veto any bill a bolishing slttvHw'ttiriTlsTRci of Colum bia. 4th. Mr. Seward is ihe candidate oppos ed to Governor Marcy, who in his messages to the Legislature, has manifested, in simii ineiit and sympathy, the bitterest hostility to our cause; and who, as the prcsidiao olu cer of a juiliiie meeting, while he was"(inT ernor of the State, recommended the passage of laws authoiiiirig a violation ofilie maid, ami inflicting pains and prnaliic-; upon those who were disseminatino- intidlioeneo and truth. 5th. The re-election nf Governor Marcy would g-j very far towards the re-election of Martin Van Buren, whose measures and poli cy are so hostile to the cause of human lib erty. And, finally, because our knowledyo of .nr. i-vwam irans us to cojilulo. inahu. rroue I 1 I. n ral soundness and integrity of his principles.
