"This resolution, introduced by the Hon T. Clancy

With regard. TO The Kansas ebraska act there has
been difference Of opinion There have been in the
northern States, calling themselves democrats and acting
with the democratic party who have found fault with this
democratic measure account of prejudice against

and created division and strife There be no doubt
with regard TO the position the democratic party OF this
State and the Union will take upon hls question: and is
equally certain that both sections OF the New York democ-

rm foothod and unite in its support all the elements Of
strength which rgbtfully belong it, All the signs OF
