The Radical Democracy

ÍThe Wilmot Proviso Democrats oí this state held a Mass Meeting at Herkimer last Tuesday. Some thousands attended, and among the distinguished men of that school of politics, were present Hon. David Wilmot of Pa., (the author of the Proviso.) C.C. Cambreleng, John Van Buren, D. D. Field,Rathbonefof Auburn) Bradford R. Wood, Col. Crain' &c. A new organizaron was then and there effectfcd to carry out the principie of the Proviso,andan Addressand Resolutions put forth to thnt effect. The meeting resolved to hold a state delegated Convention on the 22d of Feb. next. Much enthusiasm was mnnifesled by speakers and hearers, and adeterminatior. exhibited to stand firmly against tho extensión of Slavery. A resolution was oflbred pledging them against supporiingnny other ihan a Wilmot Proviso man for the Presidency, and unanimously adopted. This is going beyond the Whigs oT Massachusetts, for they votcd down such a proposilion in tlieir laie State Convention. We regard this move as hopeful to the caijse of freedom, and trust the Young Democracy will stand their ground. We have not rüom to say more. - Ulica Press.
