vsntion was convened at Baltimore, during the last
month"; In this body, the democracy Of this State
we're entitled to be by thirty six delegates
aud to give thirty six vstssa number equal within
facton to ons-eghth Of all the votes to be given and
fully equal to all the votes of OF the smaller
states To enjoy this representation, aud to give this
vote on all questions that might come before the
behalf fthe democracy Of our state in State Conven-
tion duly called by the democratic members of the sgs
sture and regularly held In the city Of Utica in Febru
sy last, to attend that convention. They repaired
pursuant to their to the city Of Batmore
but they not permitted, ON equal and honorable
terms take their seats In the National Convention
Their claims to those seats were contested by spurious
delegates chosen in the irregular way and under pre-
Of authority, from tho irregular and unautho.
yhich VIC have already spoken. We deem 1t wholly
needless to enter into any detailed account Of the
wrongs ndignites received by delegates at the
hands Of the convention and its organs In their able
md lucid report heretofore extensively published In
the newspapers and forming part Of present pro-
ceedings such has been given by the dele
rates themselves in language alike calm dignfcd and
truthful and to this we refer you for ali needful par
cuiars Traduced by several loading members Of the
convention ON the floor of the assembly nsuted by the
committee to which the conflicting claims of the
delegations were referred reported by that

The opposing delegation equally with ours protested
against the resolution Of the convention. evadng the
issue 1t was bou to meet and to deter mine
nd absurd and they too refused to sit rs mem
bers OF the body, on the terms proposed. Between
them and their nsttuents and ourselves, there Is
therefore, this point, for debate To prov,
the course Of the convention wrong have only to
refer to the recorded argument Of our adversaries
But, though the conduct Of the convention can nd
support in analogy aud though it Is for
this cause condemned by the two contrasting parties

that both sets would VOTE as they aosuly did vote
