A series of conventions have been re
Gently held in New York by the setera

First was tie
GRAND FUSION ANri-NEBKAskA e5NfENffo.
AT SARATOGA,
held on the 10Th Of August, with the OBJ
iect Of concentrating the .Anti-Nebrasks
sentiment OF the State, and which adopt
ed The following resolutions among 9th.

Resolved, That the deliberate repudia.
ton by the slave power, on the very first
opportunity, of the solemn compact forced
upon our fathers by its representatives,
whereby the territories now known as
Nebraska and Kansas were consecrated
forever to freedom, has absoIved US from
all compatts or agreements outside the fed
eraI constitution, With reference to slavery
and we now take our stand distinctly on
the principle that all territory Of the Uni
ted States must henceiorth be free territory,
and all States hereafter must come 10 as free
States: (Nine-cheers.y
Resolved, That we heartily approve
the course of the freemen Of Connecticut,
ID1s
and Michigan, postponing or disregardlng
their minor differences OF opinion or pref
erence, and acting together cordially and
trustlngly in the sacred cause Of freedom,
Of free labor and free soil, we COM
mend their spirit to the freemen of this
and other States, exhorting each to re-
nounce his party, whenever and where
ever that party, proves unfaitkfrl to hu-
man freedom.
Let the reader observe passim Qor we
design this article as mere Narrative Of
facts. and not disquisition upon consiitl-
,ional questions risings out Of them, } that
these resolutions propose a fragrant viola
ton of treaty stipllations and plighted
faith. Under the discretion allowed Con-
gress BY the Constitution in the admission
Of new States into the Union, it would
violate the spirit of that instrument TO i'm
pose conditions affecting and insulting to
half the States Of the confederacy, as anti
slavery conditions would be. Under the
treaty for the purchase Of Louisiana, even
John Quincy Adams admitted that Con-
gless was bound to admit slave Ststes cary-
ed out of that territory. He said /:
Il cannot, consistently with my sense of
my obligations as a citizen Of the United
States, and bound BY oath 10 support the
constitutional cannot object to the ad-
mission Of Arkansas into the Union as a
slave State ! cannot propose or agree to
make it condition Of her admission that
convention Of her people shall expunge
this article from the Constitution. She is
entitled to admission as slave State, as
Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama
and Missouri, have been admitted by vir-
tue ct that article IN the treaty for the at-
QUESTION Of louisiana which secures TO the
inhabitants Of the coded territories all the
rights, privileges, and imnGnlties Of the
original citizens OF the United States, and
stipulates for their admission conformably
to that principle into the Union"
The treaty Of 184S, under which Cali
fornia and New Mexico were acquired,
contains a clause in the very words OF the
Louisiana Treaty !; and the resolutions for
the annexation Of Texas stipulates ex-
pressly Tor the admission Of slave States.
Next came the
WING STATE CONVENTION, AT SYRACUSE,
held week before last; which nominated
as their State ticket,
For Governor. Myron H Clark
For 1t. Governor, Henry J. Ray trond,
For Canal Com, Henry Fitzhugh;
For State Prison Inspector, Norw God
Browne and which adopted, among 9TH
ers, the following resolutions, responding
almost in terms 10 the fusion resolutions OF
Saratoga:
4th. Resolved that BY the act repeating
the Missouri ompromise we hold that we
are forever discharged from all obligations
to support any compromises with slavery
except such as are contained in the Constr
tuition OF the United States, anG especially
that we are forever released from all OBJ
legations to admit info our Union any State
whose Constitution sustains or permits
slavery.
9Th. Resolved, That the recent action
in Congress, stimulated and approved BY
the President, whereby she compact com.
monty kuown ssthe Missouri Compromise,
| is repudiated, end the vast Territory
known as the Kansas and Nebraska is 0,
pened to slavery, has already received ths
unqualified condemnation Of the Wings Of
New York, and we point with satisfaction
aud pride to the fact that not a single Whia
member of either House Of Congress from
this or any other free State, yielded any
sort Of support. counlenance or favor t.
that most unjust and unrighteous proceed
ing.
On the 25th instant followed the pro
ceedings Of
THE FREE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION HELL

The first day Of its deliberations wa
chiefly devoted to the remarks Of mem
