which that nomination ves Obtained this letter, which
is published az length N the Albany DssIy STATE
Pegtster, proceeds az follows:
In every point OF view, the nomination Of Mr. Fill
must be regarded ss raud upon the An'er'can
PAty. But il might, perhaps, be submitted % az one
of the unfortunate mischances Of pohteal manage,
rnfnt II il did not involve an utter and istal betrayal
Of the principles TO which the party stands piedgeo De-
fore the country, and aside from which poss I'm ~
ytality-no claim to the public confidence Mr.. FIJI

organization And am crsoibly informed that up 20
the eve Of bis departure from the country he ceneu
nil such come ction He has not been nominated as
an American but a. Wing and partisan OF south
ern interests In fact, he was already in nomination
by portion Of the Wrig Pary-the party to when
he has aweys belonged, and from which be hos DOL up
10 ths hour sepsrat, himself.
"Tke v. Y. Erpress an unquestionsble AL

OF the prospects OF this nomination NJ. Seymour
thus speaks
"Gentlemen. the American party does not submit to
this BETRAYAL II il a sectional and bastard movement
made by a section Ony-acquiesced in by section
onlv 1t Is true that the strong habit of submitting 10
what appears to be regular III party sense produces,
to some extent apparent icquiescenee IN our state
but when the voice. of the whole country reaches US
we shall hear no favorable response from the Last or
from tie West. New-England, Pennsylvania, Ohio
and all tie North West will unite in standing by the
prncipes of our Order, and in refusing to engage III
huless sectional contest for the benefit OF our be-
trayers.
A large majority of all the delegates from every
Free State except New York, Ne9.JerSey and Cali
fonia. met in Convention at Philadelphia, and pro-
tested against the action of the Convention which
made the nomination You are aware TO what extent
Iopr own body sympathiZed with this movement.
This Convention also united in call for National
Convention of the party, to meet III the City oi w
York in June next to nominate candidates tor fresl-
dent and Vice President to be supported by the Amer
| lean party Of the whole Union.
"Such is the spirit in which this sectional nomination
of Mr.. Fillmore IS received. ~
i hardly probsbe that the dsorganizers will he
able to make sufficient preteGse OF support 10 the
abortive movement in the States J. have named to
even present an electoral ticket. Aud IN our own
State have doubt when an hour for reflection has
been akonvhtn il is that party regularity does
not bind our friends in support OF this nomination, but
that discipline has been violated III IT'S producton-the
earnest conscientious true hearted members OF our
Order will rally at their council ires around the orgt.
nal distinctive principles which bind together, and
let the ponderers 10 sectional strife drift away with
tEeir Southern allies in the wake Of the Democratic
party
What Mr.. Seymour himself proposes to do, and
what he would have others do he sets out follows:
upon revitw of this subject, the path of duty
| for me seems plain. / remain with the American
paty-true to its principles, true 70 It's organization
tue TO ts hopes OF usefulness and of triumph.
Indeed. my wish il to eXpend my AIncricanisin,
rather than reDounce or ignore 1t, by making more

great real practical interests OF the country would

that 20 cordially and earnestly adopted at Blngham
ton-the true and proper creed of our party IN this
State must mantain-the action OF the few, the very
imperfect representation, in our state Council recent

would have this creed expanded by declaration ioI

interests and American citizens abroad; the encour

permitted by the Constitution; by preferlng for con-
sumption and wear the products of American labor;

From these high aims and considerations, | vii
not consent to be seduced and transferred othe sup
port of dead faction, and made an instrument in the
bands OF sectional agtaors. In fine, cannot be made
to support the nomination of Mr.. Fillmore, conceiving
il 10 be alike thsffu of fraud, and the organization
of party treason. What | conceive TO be duty fol

final triumph Let no one fear that this Convention Is
called 10 make over the American party to any Other
interest. know the disorganizers will call it Repub

10 the support Of al adversary. Having sold out them
selves Il is very natural that they should bring such
