To our felloto- citizens Of the city of Neto York.
An Association has been formed without reference
to party, among those who gave their hearty assent
and support TO the resolutions adopted at the late
meeting at Castle Garden, and particularly that one
which declares
That, in the opinion of this meeting a further
agitation OF the Slavery question in Congress would
be traught with incalcuabe danger to our Union, and
that will support candidate at the ensuing or
other election for State officers or tor members
Of Congress or for the Legislature, who is known or
believed to be hostile to the Peace Measures recently
adopted by Congress- any OF them, or IN avor OF re-
opening the questions involved in them Tor renewed ag-
7ation.
Acting in what they conceive to be the spirit of that
resolution the Association have resolved to support
the following Union Ticket for State Officers at the en-
suing election:
For Governor. ............... .HoRATIo SEYMOUR.
For Lieut.. Governor. GEORGE J. CORNELL.
For Canal Commissioner. JOHN c. MATHER.
For Clerk of Court of Appeals. VESSEL S. SMITH.
and to pursue all honorable means for its successful
support in the city of New York; and they ask the
countenance and cooperation of all those who enter
tain similar sentiments with their own. The ticket
recommended for support IS adopted from those OF
both the political parties Of The State under the honest
conviction and belief that the candidates thus selected
better than the Others represent the PRINCIPLES declared
by the great meeting Castle Garden. There is one
vacancy on the ticket which the Association do not
propose to fill nasmuch they cannot yield thei sup
port to the candidate for that office, oether party
With regard to the candidates for other offices heAs-
support those whose principles and practice elected
will in the language of the concluding resolution OF
the meeting at Castle Garden, "be best calculated to
support the Constitution and to perpeuate our glorious
Union"
All communications intended for the Association
must be addressed to them at their Committee room
No. 600 Broadway, which will be open during the day
and evening" until after the election, and where the As
sociaon will be very happy to see those friends who
are willing TO unite with them in this movement.

small number of the committee were present. A mo-
ton was made that the committee select candidates
from those before the people to be recommended Tor the
support of the voters. instantly opposed this motion,
mainly on the ground that no power whatever was de-
egated the committee to take any such action as that
proposed, and that the meeting would not have delega-
ted such power to any committee.
Others opposed it, and the motion was Withdrawn by
the movers, upon the full understanding that no such
motion should be renewed in the committee. On mo-
ton of member OF the committee, not myself reso-
luton was unanimously passed, to the effect that all
tiers be recommended not to cast their suftrages Tor

Congress, who in favor of Regulating the slavery
question or reopenng the peace measures passed by
Congress. This resolution was similar, though not so
strong, to that passed unanimously at the meeting.

The Tribune is rather more explicit on some of the
particu lars 1t says:
Night before last we are reliably assured there was

of fifty, appointed by the late merchants meeting

to general support. This was demurred to by or
two Wings as uncaed for there being no evidence
that all the candidates excluded from that ticket were
hostile to the fugitive slave law.

So then (says the Commercially our misgivng are

kept open until after the election; and the Journal OF
Commerce this morning turns that address TO account
