The great assebAge Of disunIonists which TO come
OF at Poughksepsie, in New York. and which Mr. Sew
ard TO make another effort to out for Fremont
was held on the 10th instant We suppose Mr.. Seward
adspOssd allusion to his speech the
occasion Senator Wilson the lion Of the day, and
when have that have saved ourselves the
necessity of eommenb What wish specially to notice
Is the arrant hypocrisy exhibited in the adopted
by the meeting. We quote them .f..... 4. ...a
Whereas the inhabitants Of prosperous State and the
citizens OF powerful republic have assembled in
venon, and sensible Of the rights Of reemsn and Of their
duty towards the other members OF widespread eonder
acy do hereby declare and resolve that the eons
tuition, the rights Of the States and federal Union shall be
preserved.
Ropsd That the federal constitution was the exalted
work OF patriots, statesmen and and what they
forued in wisdom and embamed with prayer only be
preserved and maintained by infexible Justice.
Resooed That the party strictly national and
conservative in Its obects modere and Just in its designs
claiming only that the shall be administered
oordng to original principles established by those who
Declaration of Independence and adopted go
rious constitution.
Resoved That cannot support James Buchanan for
the presidency because among other reasons the leaders
drivers ratherofhs party in the saveholdng States by
whose influence he will be elected all the open and
ayowed advocates of duno rebellion and treason, some
of them ayowng their determination to break up the Union
all events others threatening to seize the archives and
property of the force, and ampe the cons
tuition under foot in majority of the sovereign people
shall candidate fill the evacuated char
RoUsd That to carry out the principles and purposes
of the republican party shall elect for President and
Vice President of the United States those citizens of prob
and high honor John G. Fremont and William L. Dayton
What change is here in the tone Of these sectional ag
tatos The republican party strictly national and con-
ssrpare in its objects; moderate and Just in its designs
What cowardy of traitors these republican leaders
furious threats against the constitution and the Union
long before the battle their courage has all oozed
out and now we have them meanly skulkng from their
thunder and claiming to be the most devoted friends
of that Union which they lately derded and were willing
to see slide Nobody be at loss to understand the
and the object of this dsgracefu and hypocrcal
retreat Now is the time for friends in the northern
States charge home upon the skulkng traitors They
have dared raise their cowardy hands against the Unon
but the moment they the uprising hosts of national
men approaching they haul down their srteensar flags
and shout the top of their voices for the constitution and
| the Union Mr.. Seward mistaken when he exued at
Detroit in the suppositon that his followers had pucked
up courage enough look the charge of dunion in the
face He did not know the kind of stuff of which his sub
aterns were made He thought they had the pluck to
march on to the music of sunion but he finds that they
have fed at the first discharge of the national artillery
VIM H. Seward would have been humiated to have wit
the passage Of those resolutions and therefore he
was present He would have known that every line
and every word of them burning fahehood, and
stamped the who prepared and passed them with
base hypocrisy
