DIR. Marsh moved to amend by substituting the Ex'
ecutive Committee of the State Temperance Society
for the Committee OF Five. .,.
butop the issue being an attack upon the Executive
Committee of the State Temperance Society ny the
opponents of that Committee. .,......
c C. Leigh of New-York said this was resolution
designed TO enlist Young American prohibition IN the
cause which at present is II the hands OF apidsted
penons-le spoke 1t in no offensive sense VINO haa

Ar Mc(oy said he favored the resolution, although
he thought there should be but one Committee. lie
thought the present State Executive COMMITTEE ana
not fully discharge its duties lie had resigned MS
position in the Committee on that grouud ana ne ue-
signed SOON in a speech which he would deliver
through the State to review the history OF temper
apce gis aton in the State for the last twelve years,
pr from the "NO License agitation to the present
time He would review, in connection with it, the
care r Of the present State Temperance society," en-
bracrg the reasons why, on the l6th OF June last,
Mr. Mccoy moved that the Society proceed 70 oalloI
for President and why, the present President con-
tnuing in office, Mr. Mccoy resigned the office OF the
Societys editor and Corresponding Secretary aiming
also to induce the Temperance people OF the several
counties 10 send delegates 10 attend the annual meet
pg of the New-York State Temperance Society, to be
held Oh the 10Th of November next, with the hope OF
SO improving the constitution of the Society, aud
placing the direction OF its affairs under such auspices
as will unite with strength and wisdom the now de-
plorably Distracted body OF Temperance men OF the
State aud 10 30 concentrate their efforts, or reach
common place Of operations, as viii tend best ana
most to hasten the extinction OF incompetence:
Dr. Marsh said these excuses Tor the establishment
Of this opposition Committee to the State Executive
Uomui:t-e, were very shallow. Ii was objected to the
State Society that It's Committee was located at Aba
nv The proposed Committee must be located some
Ebere-if NOT In Albany in Syracuse Rochester, or
some other place. lie thought that this ACTON, IL
adopted, would Outrage the sentiment OF the best
Temperance men of the State all of whom we're sensl-
bic Of the great services rendered by the men who
would be nsulted by telling them TO stand aside, that
they ware no longer wanted.
The Rev. Mr. jackson upheld the action of the
state Executive Committee, and explained what Work
bad been done by the Committee and its agents.
The amendment offered by DR.. Marsh was then
lost
The Rev. G. Machiu moved to 30 amend the resou.
tiOp as to provide that Committee of Five be ap.
pointed by the chair and instructed to cooperate with
the Temperance organizations of the State in reorgan
iziDg the State.
The ame ndnent was carried.
TIE question then being the resolution amended
by DR.. Marsh. he again earnestly eXhorted the Con-
seption to pause in its action. This movement he
raid, was simply designed TO overslaugh those who
sefused to suffer Temperance to be prostued to poll
tcs ana TO ruin the existing organization in order to
build up little sectional political Temperance party
10 aid one party in the State. The resolution, il
adopted would entirely destroy the State Society and
the prospects of Prohibition for years to come
While DR. Marsh was speaking, the church was in
darkness, and the Convention, although small got
somewhat unruy, interupting his remsrss with Jokes
