Central Committee; Isaiah Rynders and Robert

raDe elected in bis place.

brought in tomorrow by the committee.

mour andgive the resolutions the 90 by.

The majority report WAS adopted.
| After the resolutions had been read, Abijah Mann
offered the minority report, as follows:
Pered As the sense of this Convention respecting the
Democracy Of this State that uuquslifedy dapprove
the peal present Congress of the section of the act
commonly known the Missouri Compromise, where Slavery
is permitted to extend unorsansed territories nde6ni
tey violation alike of legislative good faith the nstons
bonor spirit the and the Christian civilization snt
| liberty of which we boast.
Nr Mann, being asked how many signed the re-
port said he regretted to say but three Mr.. Welch
Judge Elsworth and himself. He regretted TO differ
from his colleagues, but it was demanded of him to
sneak 10 his southern brethren this occasion The
language of this resolution very clear and dis
tinct. The democracy demanded of US TO speak out
upon this subject that they might indorse it.
Mr. Cornell moved to amend the report of the
usiority by putting on il the resolution read by Mr.
Menp. He wanted to be put right on the record
Mr. Potter of Wes,chester seconded the motion.
II was the sentiment of the democracy OF Westche'er
and Of the State.
Pres ON King then took the hoOr amid thunder
,o cheers. He copcu1ed heartily in Mr. Mann
resoluton but it cid not mean all that ne supposed
il did. This was period of great importance 10 'iie
country and the Democracy. The Democrauo parry
WIS national, not sectional. There haa oeen con,
ceiyed an act in deadly opposition to this' we asu
now to oppose this measure. Whist constitutes De-
mocracy? 1t is the principle the great apostle
Thomas Jefferson, mad applied, so 1t could not oe
misunderstood, hat that only is democratic which
sustsins democratic principles. Where question
yitd to the permanent interests OF the eountry IS
involved we fail in our duty if we do not speak OUT
plainly. The decision of this Convention i' not hnai
large, intelligent people must hear their judgment,
