ADDRESS OF THE sECEDERs.


The seceders from the American Council
made the following address yesterday:
The undersigned delegates to the nomi-
mating Convention now in session at Philadel-
phia, find themselves compelled to dissent
from the principles avowed By that body, and
holding opinions as they do that the restora-
ton the Missouri Compromise is demanded by
majority of the whole people as a redress of
an undeniable wrong, and the execution Of it
in spirit at least indispensable to the rcpose
of the country, they have regarded the re-
fllsal Of that convention to recognize the well
defined opinion of the country of the Americans
Of the Free States upon the question, as de-
NAL Of the rights and rcbuke to their senti-
mentS, and they hold that the admission into
the National Council and Nominating Conyen-
ton ofdelegates from Louisiana, representing
a Roman Catholic constituency, absolycd every
true American from all obligations to sustain
the action ofeither Of the said bodies.
They have therefore withdrawn from the
nominating Convention, refusing to participate
in the proposed nomination, and now address
themselves to the Americans of the country
especially ofthe States they represent TO JUS
tify and approve Of their action-and to the
end that nomination conforming to the over
ruling sentiment of the country in the great
issue may be regularly and auspiciously made,
the undersigned propose to the Americans in
all the States to assemble in their several
State Conventions and elect delegates to a Con-
vention to meet in the city of N. Y. on the
18th day Of June next, for the purpose Of nomi-
mating candidates for President and Vice Pres
