 Resolred, That this committee refuse 10 open the discussion to the two conflict ing parties from New York, now conten- ding for seats in the De nocratic National Convention, until each party shall pledge themselves 10 abide by the decision of the convention, and agree to support by all honorable means the nominees of said convention.
 : The resolution having been adopted by the committee, (said Mr. H., the follow ing response was received from the dele gates of the Utica and Herkimer Barn bpner convention: To ic Committee on Credeatids: The delegates of the democracy of the State of New York to the Baltimore con- vention, respectfully protest against the decision of this committee that, before entering upon the examination of the evi dencc as to their right 10 seats in the con yeniion, and before they have become members of that body, they shall abide by the decision of the convention, and to support it's nominees. They would feel themselves unworthy to represent the de- mocracy of New York, if they could sub init toa condition which impeaches the in- tcgrity of their presentaiyes, and which would dishonor our Stilte by subjecting it's dalcgatcs to a condition which the conven- ton expressly declined to impose upon the delegates of any other State in the Union Dr;Or to their admission
 The delegates of the democracy of New York must be admitted to the Balti- more convention internationally, or not at all.

 The undersigned having obtained leave to file his protest against the resolution in iho following words:
 "Resolred, That this committee refuse ,o open the discussion to the two conflict. ing parties from New York, now contend. ing for seats in the National Democratic Convention, until each party shall pledge themselves to abide the decision of said convention, and agree to support, by all honorable means, the nominees of this convention ;' adopted by the committee on credentials. before whom came the two delegations from tAe State of New York-known, the one as the Utica and the other as the Syr. ec'ee delegation--both claiming seats in the Democratic National Convention, now being held at Baltimore.
