An article from the Alexandria (Va.) Gazette, has much taken the fancy of the whigs, and is copied admiringy into most of these papers It claims for that party a high duty and most important position,

 in being the bulwark of the country against the rad. icalsm of the ruling party-a conservative force a

 ways ready to resist and check the destructiyeism of the inDovating and impatient democracy. It is a very well written and stately article, and reads weIl-but unhappy for it's truth. just this time the wbigs of NewYork have given practical commen- tary of different kind upon this devotion to order, stability and 'conservstivesm' The new law for calling State Convention for the purpose of remod- cling the Constitution, received every whg vote in tn House of Assembly but two. The New-Y ork Courier and Enquirer says that this con.erva- | tive project is radical than the Dorrism of Rhode Island-he declares that it is supported by

 loco ocos, fourrertes, abolilioniss, owenites and agrnrians, and that it's objects are destructive of all good order, and that the whg portion who favor the Convention, go far to desire the election of aIl judges, from the highest to the lowest, by the people. In rpeaking of these convention whgs, to one who attempted to excuse them, he says:

 "But the writer knows nothing of the craving af- ter power and place, by those who have once tasted their sweets. or he would not have expressed any such asonishmenl that those Hing who advocate convention, should pursue the course they do in relation that radical measure All they care for, is power-al they desire, is place. Give | them power and place, and they not what be- comes of the principles of the whIg party, its char l acter, or it's prosperity"

 ! For our own part. we think the convention mea- sure wise. safe and necessary but iderns that

 the whole body of the whigs voted for it, while it is stigmatlsed by their leading presses revolutionary, dlsorganisng and dsgracefully radical. It does pro- yoke smile to see tho whig party. ut the mo- men,. complimensd compacentIy, as the conserva- tive body. whose august mission is to resist inno- vation. and check the rapidily of radicasm.
