ardson, Of Albany doubtless qualned 70 act on sucn
a committee by virtue Of his connection NTH me
issuing of ceatai,s forged letters. The committee
so appointed, called Convention at Syracuse, on
the 26th September last. ..
There was also another Convention called--a
Wing State Convention--to be held ON the same
day. They met in the city Of Syracuse, one Con-
vention in one hail. and the other in another. After
some little preliminary coquetting, this Convention
assuming to represent the great Wing party OF the
State of New York, deliberately grounded their
arms struck their flag, and without firing gun,
captuated at beat of drum, and marched quietly
aud passvely under the yoke, into the other Con-
vention and "fusediIp Has there ever been In
this State of New York more proHgate abandon

thus shamefully deceived whose interests have

There has been, for long time, a large body Of
men at the South eager for division OF the Unior.
They are glad to seize upon every pretence 70 for
ward their fay0rite project. Now, what 10 intended
by the resolution calling q convention on the an
Of July, 1856? It's to be convention, not OF the
people Of the United States, not Of all the States
Of the Union, but Of section Of Tie States These
men are either serious or they are not. II they are
not then they are trAing about important matters,
but we are bound to believe them serious, and that
they intend TO carry out the idea which their reso-
luton expresses. G Esf& III
Suppose they meet in that convention these
delegates from the free States" with not man
from slayeholding State among themP Suppose
that they should then and there nominate their can
didatesY And then suppose the almost impossible
thing that they should succeed in electng their
didates for President and Vice President ask
every honest and intelligent citizen OF the United
States, how long do you suppose, after they were
seated in their chairs as President and Vice Presi
dent representing the Free States alone, our Union
could exist? Not an hour. Is any imagination SO
dist ampered to suppose that II this Auburn con-
vention, and this Fusion convention, at Syracuse,
should be successful, and carry out the principles
enunciated BY them, the Union Of these States
would exist for one hour after the 4th Of March,

No, their resolution means disunion, and if they
were as frank as they are traitorous, they would
boldly ayow it.. am well aware that It ID the poll
cy Of some to eridiculcs those who express such
fears So be it. With such elements US exist at
the South, and such combinations as are forming
ut the North, this Union was never ir more immi-
nent danger than now, of being broken upinto
discordant antagonistica hostile, beligerent States
or Confederacies. s9 ~ s.sss 3a

know the terms Of that treaty he would turn in

The people Of the United States withdrew their
confidence from the members of the Hartford Con-
vention, because~ they suspected that they were
DESTROYS OF negotiating separate treaty with
Great Britain, and thus dissolution Of our
Union. 4Hs saf .6G S4

Of the Nashville Convention. They will consign to
