Nr. SAN. H.YvoSn asked what peculiar difficulties
there were in III way Of further action.
Gen. Nj laid tina. IA tie new OF two gentlemen
on tie Committee these propositions hot eholgl
Gnd The balance Of the Committee thought !; proper
20 submit. thi- much here.
Mr. WARD Huyr inquired If the residence of one
year after naturalization before voting was required
Gen. NYE-It j..
Mr. Tucorr-Are further demands made
Gen. NrE-Not by the American Committee.
Mr.. sTiLLwELL Of Kings moved the adoption ct
these reports.
Mr. UPBaN said It was proper 10 .ta:e for hiInsef
and other member Of the Committee, what was r.
jec,ed. They wen. in 70 form a common basis on
which to stand. He had offered q resolution which
refused 20 be received by the American party. II
was that The dicta Of the Supreme Court IN the bred
oppose the extension Of Slavery, and affirming The
power Of Congress 10 exclude Slavery from The Ierr-
tories al their discretion.
The American Committee would no; entertain or
accept il. Were they TO bury the party deep az 20
be afraid 10 Ironulg gate the doctrine which II was
formed He had maintained that Congress had the
right 20 pa-s law prohibiting The existence of Slav-
cry in the Territories, and h. would take up with
nothing less.
Mr.. TALcoTr said the basis offered 70 them con-
tanned not only of omission bu of commission II
proposed that citizens Of foreign birth should be
submitted 10 penalties 20 which natiyebon men are
not subjected He told the Convention that the Ger
man Republicans, than whom none were nober and
truer, woud say this was an unJls; and unequal
proposition.
Let W have equal laws Unless the Republican
party advocated equal laws FOR al, high and low, rich
and poor wherever born, he had greatly mistaken its
mission. The proposition was too clearly uncons;itu-
tonal They were about 20 hold Convention on Con-
s,itutional amendment. Could he gentlemen from
the 1t District meet their constituencies this
issue Cries of No, no.
There was another sin Of omission. He did not see
il stated that Free State should require no more
population than was required for Slave State lie
determination 20 Gpply that rule to the immediate
admission OF Kansas. Loud appause.I
Gen. N.Y. sad that he would yield TO no man IN
fidelity all Republican principles, but he considered
that the resolution rejected blythe Americans contained
& in prayer He beloved Il was al covered by
the reso luton opposing the extension Of Slavery in the
Territories when was adopted IN TIE lace OF
OF the Supreme Court.
In regard to a years extension after naturalization,
he thought i. only placed foreigners and natives
equality. As 20 the position of the First Dstric', he
from there and although they were more inter-
esed in this than all the other parts of the State put
together he appealed to his colleague 70 say whether
anything could be than now, when they were
subject to be Irsh-ridden from He-Gate TO Harlem.
He thought il conveyed wrong impression to the
State. Americans were opposed to the resolution
offered by Mr.. Upham He did not so understand II,
but they were not willing TO adopt it as it was
Mr. KNOX of Seneca, a member of the Commit.
tee said that he too considered there were sins OF
omission and commission ID the resolutions lie had
said in the Committee, and repeated here, that if the
Americans wouh adopt the Republican principles
right up to the mark, he would consent TO indorse
registry law, but the Americans would yield nothing,
and desired the Republicans TO yield everything. He
thought the resolutions jesutical in character. He
opposed to further action in this direction, and
favored adopting the report Of their own Committee
on resolutions, and nominating their own ticket upon
which TO go before the people. [Cheers.l He moved
10 discharge the Committee from further action. APP
plause.l
Mr.. {. L. B,ALs said that he would not consent
that the Republican Committee should be misrepre-
sented. Every Republican favored every word in Mr..
Upham's resolution.
Mr.. Ksox-Was il not voted DOWN.
Mr.. BEALs contnued-That every member of the
American Committee agreed in spirit with that
luton. As soon they went into the meeting
II was evident there element Of mischief
in the Republican Committee. IL must be
bered that men might be powerful for mischief
when powerless for ought else. He could not suffer
any man to question his Cavanistic orthodoxy or
Republican principles. The fact was that these re-
solutions thus far mad been adopted in the spirit
Of Cancellation. II aiterward that this fifth
proposition was offered by the gentleman from Gene
He had opposed IT because he deemed il
necessary 10 tack il 10 propositions to be submit
ed for approval and instructions from this body. The
question of naturalization had been fully discussed,
and deemed To be only placing foreigners the
same basis as natives moving into this State from
other States. The object To prevent the frauds by
which Democrats crowded in the votes OF natur-
allied few days before the election. The Committee
had sough; not 20 lower but TO elevate the Republican
standard and TO win 10 its support the $1,000 Ameri-
can votes in 1860.
Mr.. UPH.N said that il a wrong constructionto
say that this resolution unnecessary because il
was be offered TO this Convention |; was offered
20 the Americans and rejected. He would not gu
home 10 his constituents recommending fusion with
the Americans instead of union principle. He did
not think il right that the gentleman from Columbia
should attack the motives Of Others the Committee.
Il might be said perhaps that he anxious for this
fusion FOR the sake OF Congressional election in his
district. He Mr.. Upham) should be- glad To see him
member Of Congress but would not to sacri-
nee here Republican principles Ia aoheve that end.
Judge COwLEs IF New-lork thought il useless 10
give mp ell attempts al union, because at present
neither Convention chooses the full length of the
other on certain principies. He hoped that each
would adopt their resolutions, and make ont a
common ticket. He moved that the report Of the
Committee II Conference BE- referred ~ the Commit
tee on Resolutions, Ia report whether there wa sum
ceI, basis for united ticket Ia DC supported by both
parties IN the coming election.
NJ. r. W. PALMER of Chsuiauque moved to amend
by adopting tile report Of the Committee IN a separate
proposition. lie thought the report laid well the
groundwork for n permanent union. The propositions
did no go far enough but were, after all substantial
y IN opposition TO the dcia of the Supreme Court.
VIII regard 10 the question Of year extension of
naturalization, 10 warmly favored it, adoption.
There might be Germans in New-York Buffalo and
other places TO object TO it; but there white
