lutions was very soon convened-the first that
was held on that side-and, though the hour
wss late and the notice far from general,
sixty members were in attendance. After
free discussion, it was resolved to make an
effort at the hour of meeting in the morning
to lay the special order on the table and pro-
coed With the Nominations las had been the
uniform course of all former Wing Conven-
tons and Committee of FIVE was appoint
ed to prepare suitable amendments to the
Duer Resolutions. This Committee report
ed to an adjourned and much fuller meet
ing at o'clock next morning, and their re-
port was heartily accepted. Thus prepared,
the majority repaired to the Convention
Hall, postponed the Duer Resolutions by
the decisive vote of 10 to 46, in defiance of
loud threats of boiling and breaking up the
Convention, took up the natural and regular
order of business, nominated full ticket
for State Officers, Though some twenty
FIVE Delegates at first and good many of
them TO the end refused to vote until Reso-
lutions should have been first adopted, and
then were ready to take up the Duer Reso.
lutions, Mr.. Cornwen moving the substi-
tutes agreed upon for such as did not, in the
opinion of the majority, give full and fair
expression to the Wing sentiment of the
State.
Here Messrs. Duer & Co. again moved
an arrest of judgment, asked resubmis-
sion to the Committee on Resolutions with
q repetition of the threats Of boiling, &c.
wherewith the Convention had now become
familiar. An enlargement Of the Commit
tee was proposed, and assented to, and the
Resolutions and substitute recommitted, by
a close vote Thereupon Il P. M.) the
Convention adjourned to 3, when it re;is-
sembled, the Committee reporte d its ina
bility TO agree, and the Convention proceed
ed to vote on the substitute of Mr.. Corn
well, which was adopted by the decisive
vote of "a 70 ~. A separate vote and the
Yeas and Nays were now demanded by Mr..
Duer on the resolution expressing conf
dence in Coy. Seward, and very cheerflllly
accorded by the majority, and the Resola-
ton adopted-Yess IS, Nays 40. There
upon most of the minority left the Hall, fol-
lowed by the President, while the Conven-
ton quietly proceeded to appoint new
State Committee, vote thanks to it's officers
and adjourn without day.
The Seceders held meeting at Rusts
in the evening, which was eminently har-
monious and purely National in its charac-
ter, Mr.. Granger presiding with his accus-
toned dignity and suayisy. Mr.. Duer was
appointed Chairman Of Committee to
draft an Address to the Wings Of the State,
which was probably prepared beforehand,
as it is said by some of the Telegraphio Re
ports to be very long and able, and the meet
ing called q new State Convention, to as
semble at Utica on the 18th of October. We
have heard before of "spirits' being called
from the 'vasty deep but never knew of
their responding, unless perhaps at the call
of the Rochester Rappers.
We have thus given full and fair ac-
count of the origin and nature of the Wing
differences at Syracuse-and we submit the
whole matter to the judgment Of candid
public. If the strong majority who gave
away the President, the Committee on Res
buttons and every thing except their con-
yictions, were not temperate, conciliatory
aad forbearing, then we judge very badly.
All the resolutions Of the minority except
those directly referring to the points in diff
ference were cordially adopted and passed
~ the majority, including the second,
which could have meant nothing but q re-
lection on Gov. Seward, for his remark that
here is ahigher law than the Federal Con-
titution. So there is-the law of God Is
above although it is perfectly true, as
Mr.. Duer reported and the Convention re-
solved, that the Federal Constitution is the
highest law. of the land, and the Supreme
Court it's authoritative ezpounder. Here
ire the Resolutions reported by Mr.. Duer
md unanimously adopted by the Conyen
ioa:
Resolutions acceptable 10 aA and unanimously
adopted
/. Resolred, That she Wings of NcwYork re-
lew tho declaration of their attachment to the
veknown and established principles and mesa-
Tres of the Wing party Of the United States as
based upon q sound construction Of the Conasiiu
ion, and tending to the best Insereats Of the Ma
ion.
