Republican Reunion In New York.

The political movements in the democratic party Of
New York calculated to produce the deepest aen-
ton If the two branches of that party be reunited
the broad platform OF their established principles as
recognised by the Baltimore convention, and without
the Interpolation Of any doctrine connected with the
slavery question, such contamination is devoutly to
be wished" The wings dread it; and the language
Of the New York Courier indicates the alarm which it
conceives from such prospect. 1t anticipates such
result; and in contemplation Of it, llyng the wing
party resist such combination But if the reunion
be effected liberal principles, effort of the wings
can Withstand the accumulated torrent. The only doubt
is, can this reunion be effected!
This is the month of conventions in New York The
reader is already aware that one convention has been
held by the old hunkers Gas they vugary called at
Syracuse on the 5h instant-Mr. Francis B. Cutting, Of
the city of New York; in the chair The result was that
nominations made of old hunkers to the eight prn
cpa Offices in the gift of the people, with the condition
that the democratic State committee be authorized to with
draw hall these Names to be substituted by nominations
to be made by the convention of banburners to meet
Cdca on the 18th nsant provided that this last conven
ton "shall impose principle or test upon said cand
dates inconsistent with the resolutions adopted by the
democratic convention held in the Presbyterian church al
Rome; and that the ticket thus nominated receive the
united support OF both divisions OF the democratic party
The Syracuse convention of the 9Th also confirmed the
following resolutions that had been adopted by the con-
ven,ion of Rome:
Rsolped, That opposed the extension of slavery
TO the free territories OF the United States but we do moi
egssd the slavery question, in form Of its agitation
or any opinion IN relation thereto OF political faith
or as a rule oil party action.
Rsotusd, That the Of Congress over slavery in the
territories and the particular modes OF legislation thereon
arfad sfipnI
we concede to every in relation thereto the
ted right OF opinion, not regarding particular mode
CONSTITUTIONAL construction ON this question part Of the
democratic creed, essential fellowship with our
democratic brethren in this State, any ton of the
Union.
II is impossible 10 say, positively, what course has
been pursued by the convention of banburners that as
sembed at Utica Wednesday last 1t is probable that
without accedng to the propositions of the Syracuse
convention to take half the ticket they may nominate
whole ticket for themselves.
But they will scarcely have adjourned when another
chance Of reconciliation may offer itself The mass conuen-
tion it is called consisting Of delegates from both Sec
tons OF the party, is to meet Immediately at Syracuse
II they meet in proper spirit and unite the whole party
upon common platform, Qhus preserving harmony
among themselves and the same time preserving their
ties unbroken with the rest Of the democracy esewhee
then reunion may be accomplished. tickle. will be
made from both sections by this third mass convention
party, and all the fears OF the New York Courier will be
realized The democrats may again carry the Empire
State and the scepe be wrested again from the grasp Of
the wings A few days will solve this interesting
problem.
