Ths Reunion Ian New York.
We lay before our readers the proceedings OF the last
convention al Syracuse, Of the l4th instant We should
have been happy to see the question OF slavery in the Dis
tct of Columbia left out Of The first resolution. The
measure as to the District Of Columbia is just obec
tionable large portion Of the democratic party as the
Proviso question over the territories; and 80 dis
tincly was il formerly marked. that Mr.. Martin Van
Buren, declared, whilst he stood before the people
as candidate for the presidency OF the United States in
1886, that al must go into the presidential chair the in
flexible and Incorporating opponent OF every attempt
on the part OF Congress abolish slavery in the District
of Columbia against the wishes OF the slaveholdng
States and also with determination equally decided 10
resist the slightest interference with it in the States where
il exists He declared Also that considerations equally
as imperative as constitutional interdct, created his
opposition TO the measure. And, in pursuance OF this
principle he again declared his inaugural address Of
4h March, 1887, at only remains to add that no
bill conflicting with these views receive my con-
sttutona sanction" The Syracuse convention hold that
Congress has the constitutional power over slavery in
the District Of Columbia" whereas 'the constitutional
power the territories Of the United States is ques
toned but il is hoped that both put in effect and
tons which are not to enter into the great platform Of the
principles OF the republican, paryand that the united
republican party OF New York are "wllng to tolerate
the free exercise of individual opnioH constituting
no test Of faith and no rule Of actonas being in fact
no Interpolation into the platform Of the great principles
of the party.
We hail the union at Syracuse as doing away with the
organization Of the free-so party as portion OF the
republican platform. and enabling every democrat to
unite for the great objects Of the party without
any regard TO that organization. As measure calcu-
lated to arrest this organization sectional question
as which viii enable the great republican
party Of the North to unite with their brethren every
where in the promotion Of their republican principles,
and in opposition the present dominant whig Taylor
tariff and other federal ismswe hail this reunion with
satisfaction.
The Albany Argus seems to consider the question
about the District standing the ground with
that over the Territories that is to say, that the resou
ton was not intended to impose any test but to ex
press individual opinion The following is the article
in the Albany Argus to which we allude:
