The following resolutions, hcing report

unanimously adopted.
Whereas, the period fixed for the cleo
ton of Chief Magistrate of the L. States.
has 80 nearly approached, that the mem
bers of the Leg saturcs of several of our
sister States, have already thought il adv
sable to express their feelings upon the
occasion. and have thereby rendered il
proper, that those who have been elected
III similar capacity to represent the state
of New York, should leave no reason for
snpposing. that this state is more Insensi-
BILE than other members of the confrdpra-
cy To the importance of sdrh IA question ::
Therefore
Rtsolced, That we consider an explicit
ayowal Of our sentiments lD the matter, az
not only called for by the occasion, but due
IL the comlnendablc soiiitude which is
felt by our republican brethren in other
parts of the Union =
That ii Is higly essential To the interests
of those no have the happiness to live un-
der a republican form of government. that
its administration should be- committed to
persons, whose opinions and feelings are in
coincidence with its Fundamental princl-
plies, and whose lives and conduct furnish
the most unequivocal evidence Of their en-
tire devotion 10 the preservation of those
principles -
That the practice of making nomipa-
tons for the Office of President by indi,i-
al states, has tendency 10 disturb the har-
mony of the great republican family, by
creating and strengthening individual pre-
objections and local feelings, and thereby
prevent the concert of action, which has
hitherto crowned their cxcrlons with sue
cess:
That although nomination by the Re
publican Members of Congress is not en-
tirely free from objections, yet that, assem-
BLEED as they are from the different quar-
tiers of the Cnon-comin5 from the varl-
| Gus classes OF the community
during the pendency and discussion Of the
| question, and in great degree with retc-
| renee To it, they hiring n,to one body as
perfect a representation as can be expect
ed of the interests and wishes Of all, and of
each aud that nomination made by
them in manner which has heretofore
been usual, is the best aitainahle mode Of
cilecting the great object in view, Which
has as yet been auggc TED g:
That We fully believe, that convention
ihus constituted, will be less liable to be in
'luenced by those sectional Ieaousles, "a
SalnSt which the father of ms country has
so solemnIy aud Justly cautioned us; more
likely t. cherish those purely national lerl-
ngs, which it is the interest, and should be
The pride of every state to protect; and
those political ties, which biDd together the
Republicans OF the north and the south, the
east and the west, and Consecrated by
the recolections of times and events, dear
10 the democracy of the nation, which tri-

That We feel an unhestating confidence,
that when the proper time for making such
nomination shall arrive, the Republican
Members of Congress will select as a can
dldate, for an office of general supervision
over the great Political, Agricultural, Ma
nufacturing aud interests of the
Nation, one who is not only sound De.
