A. Whether all the candidates nominated but two, or
whether any of Them voted for Van Buren, in s4s

The resolutions regard to Kansas and slavery which
appear in the proceedings Of the convention not at
the time claimed 10y the minority nor understood by the
majority who did vote for them but simply acquesced
in their being declared adoped in any affirming
the ee-soi doctrines of ls4s So far from this the reso
luton denouncing the alleged outrages the Kansas
border adopted express affirmation of the prn-
cipe of the Kansas BILL declared by Congress and it
should be known that that resolution when reported by
Mr.. Cassidy and when submitted to the writer hereof and
others by Mr. Cocrane did contain explicit condemna
ton Of The interference of The Massachusetts, and other dbot
aid societies and that the omission Of this clause
ordered by the convention but the result Of an al
legged omission in engrossng the resolution and that the
resolution could have passed that convention had 1t
been generally known that it thus emascuated.
So OF the resolution of Mr. Van Buren,. TWAS vo
ted upon by majority of the convention much less was II

was offered simply expression Of the views of this
State upon the abstract question of slavery aud as COM

thing that could be construed into censure OF the
administration committing any 20 any line of
policy contrary that evidently settled upon by the de-
mocracy Of other States 1t acquiesced in without de-
bate or division and against the elamor Of the ayowed
freesoilers Had il come from any deemed hostile to

dursement of the Wmot proviso advocated il such
grounds it would have been Indignantly rejected and this
well understood by all parties at the time, and will
not now be denied.
In conclusion allow to say to all whom it may con-
cern that the sos of New York occupy other ground
than that avowed by Governor Seymour in his Tammany
Hall speech and that the nasses" of that party much
more natonap this day than they when delegates
chosen their convention. The tendency of the de-
mocracy and of the people is towards the support OF the
constitution and the Union; and the hacksding and rea-
son of the few disappointed freesoil oice-hunterske
Nye, Stanton and company, who have entered Stewards
dsunion notification party-have but purified ranks.
people understand that the great battle of 1856 is
to be between sectional disunion and Union that the
back-repubcan and knownohing crusade is against not
only the administration but the constitutions and that in
this battle there be hating between two opinions
no middle ground-no State isolation. Whoever is not

Let friends abroad be not deceived The democratic
ticket will NOT be chosen at the ensuing election by go
600 by any other plurality although large majority
of the people desire its success well national as State
| grounds But the very feeling Of natonalism growing
among people, and the ambiguous character Of our
platform and ticket and the multiplicity Of local issues,
will prevent thing like full vote Of the administration
democracy.
Let our friends abroad understand another thing. The
democracy the Union and the union OF the democracy
have no dangerous foe than the leaders of the
called national democratic faction in this State. But for
their and vinc,ve hostility many of the
truet and best democrats in the Union and their deter
mnaton rule the nation ruin the State the democ-
racy of New York would long since have united in the sup
port of the administration and they would have been VIC
torious But for their unprincped clamor against Presi-
dent Pierce and their base coalition State questions
with the GaIphins of Sewardism abolltionsm would long
since have been crushed out, and know-nothlngism
would have been unheard Of But for them, democrat
would have occupied Stewards seat in the Senate Gov
Seymour would been reelected and department
of our State would have been in the hands OF
the friends of the President But for them local division
originating the corruption of set of men, brought to
head to crafty the repenge Of another and continued by
the personal ambition of third would not be carried TO
Cincinnati disturb the harmony and distract the coun
