laid down ia the Baltimore Platform, and re promul-
gated in the Presidents Inaugural the approval o.
the proposed constitutional amendments the calling
of State Conventions and the secession OF the only
free soil barnburner members Of the committee In
attendance.
Our correspondents letter, published below, in
connection with the official account Of the proceed
Dgs, supplies all the details which are essential to
ali entire unders landing OF the affair,
1t will be seen that because the State Committee
preferred to promulgate as its own the doctrines and
principles Of the national democracy, proclaimed
at Baltimore and reiterated in the inauguruand to
do this in the identical language Of the inaugural as
embodied in the series Of resolutions introduced by
Mr.. ID. B. Taylor in the Assembly, and adopted by
that body-the free soil members OF the committee,
following the lead Of the free soil members Of the
House when brought to the test Of a vote on them,
snruis from the ordeal, and left the room in which
TIE committee were assembled Tie scene was
repetition, though on a smaller scale, Of the SIAM
pede OF the Bufaoes in the Assembly, led of by tho
Speaker, short time before and adds, if possible,
significance and importance to that memorable
show Of HEELS instead OF hands, on the cardinal
points OF faith and practice, with which the demo

ton stand identified before the country
Tie facts, connected or otherwise, arc elnnently
suggestive. They speak for themselves of the alien
age heretofore, OF the free-soi faction IN this
State from all AFFINITY with the common brotherhood
OF the national democracy, aud form an Instructive
lesson for the study OF political doctors and teachers
here and elsewhere.
