SCENTS, at the Broadway House, the nineteen wards

very large majority, and with much determination,
summoned the Wings OF the city TO assemble and
90 elect delegates 10 attend the Union Wing State

majority in the Wing Young Mems Committee

deep regret OF the proceedings of the majority of
the late Wing State convention at Syracuse, in the
attempt to incorporate into the Wing creed ,jrin-
ciples which, as members Of nations. family, our
Judgment condemns, and which in their results
must inevitably overthrow the Wing party of the
Rssoluea That we disapprove of the action of the
inkj0rty OF eaid convention in the adoption of reso
buttons directly tending TO the Of the
adopted by those pure and eminent men who, dis
regarding sectional prejudiccs, have honestly and
successfully sriven to unite dscordant feeling to
sO0the excited passions and to maintain the integ
rity of the Union; and that in the opinion of this
committee large majority Of the Wings of the
State OF New York arc opposed to further agita
ton OF the exciting questions which have heretofore
distracted our national councils.

BY the minority Of the late Wing State Convcn.

on the part of the majority of said convention, Of

try and the Wing party Of the Union, withdrew
from further participation in the action of said con-
