The daily union. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1845-1857, 1855-10-27

cooperation between national wings and national demo-
which has insured to US many OF our late national
triumphs The obstacle to such cooperation is prob
ably found in the next of the address TO those
quoted above, as follows

the Union and he, too discams purpose to inter

his determination resist the extension of slavery and
to that end to resist the admission of any slave States
into the Union This is what The New York whis con-
vention regard as either openly assay secretly under
mining the Union, and with which movement they can
have neither sympathy fellowship 1t is true that the
New York wings go the full length of the Seward
aA ito hpty their
spectve positions that whilst somewhat surprised
they do not join the republican party we ore not sur
prised that they cooperate with the democratic
pary which recognises such narrow sectional views IN
its platform
But it in their address alone that there IS the
strange admxture Of nationalsm and secuonalism 10
which we have alluded. 1t is still more apparent in the
platform or resolutions adopted The resolutions furnish
evidence not only that the convention was capable Of
"bowng hot and cold" the subject OF the sectional is
sues but proves ALSO by of its resolutions that its
delegates belong class of blind partisans who have
no scrupes in denouncing whatever comes TO them with
the odor of democracy about II What good could they

would be to sacrifice the peace and harmony OF 25OOoOoO

millions Of black men, and in the next breath to assume
position little less geographical and sectional than thai
denounced? The republican party makes open war upon
the South whilst the New York wings avow sentiments
little less obnoxious South than those of the repub

professions of of the Union We need hardly ande

pcrvesons and OF its conduct contained
in one of resolutions The conyent,n deemed 1t inn
prudent to nominate separate ticket The result will be
that the New York wings will vote their individual sent-
ments and Mr. Seward will not object to taking his
chances for full share of them. The following are the
resolutions adopted by the convention:
eso,red That to establish northern party on geo.
graphical landmarks where voters before they voe must
study the map rather than the constitution, is to make ne
cessry and to Justify the establishment of southern party
also to all from the North and that all such parties
are not only violation of the solemn warnings OF Washing
tons Farewell Address, but revolutionary IN spirit ana ID re-
suit if not ntenuttefy subversve OF all unity oil action
among the people independent States We
know Of no existing circumstances to justify sacrifice OF
the harmony Of the Of white Americans
to the imaginary benefit Of the three and half millions Of
Africans among us.
esoed That in the administration of the principles of
free discussion settlement, equal rights and
fair play alleged be enacted in the Kansas BILL the fed
erai either violated suffered to be viola
ted every them and that il deserves the especial
violation OF the compact 1920 it has added tho viola
ton Of the principles Of the act Itself.
Resoued That inasinuch the public opinion OF the
free States is correctly in the federal Congress
composed amos entirely of men, of honorable men, opposed
to the repeal Of the Missouri Compromise, and therefore,
ready willing adopt practical measures consistent
with the constitution preserving free from slavery all

strong their indignation, should, and believe will wait

party whose fundamental political creed inconsistent with
tho eompacts Of the constitution and the harmony of the
Union.
Re,o,ped That the proper regulations of be-
