Know Nothing party Of New York, in their
State Council at Albany, on Tuesday last, sfser
very animated, interesting and significant de-
bate resolved. by vote of l63 to IS, to bold
their State Convention at Syracuse on the 9th
Gay Of September, the Identical day and place
appointed for the Convention of the republican
psrty.
This resolution is the cream of the pot 1t IL
adeihefate step, on . grand scale, for . love
feast ard fusion between the Know Nothing
end republican parties; and the vote by which
the resolution was carried-l63 to 65-may be
taken, We presume, as pretty fair illustration
OF the relative strength of the fusion aud anti
fusion fsctions of the American camp. The
d, bate, however, shows that there Is a very
broad margin of difference among the brother
hood upon this important question of a sur
render 20 the republican party. Mr.. George
Morton did rot wish to meet in the same city
with the rtpublicans-they in one rsom the
Americans IN another ard the wirepullers over
besd." Mr.. Wood, of this city "was in favor Of
nominating State ticket before the ccnven-
tons Of the other parties met" He thought
that the best way for ropioe the republicans 10,
after the fashion of Gerrit Smith. Mr.. Witheral,
too, chopped that the Council would not send
delegates to Syracuse TO look after the repub-
iicsns." Mr.. Thompson, OF Monroe. was in
favor of can honorable union with the Tepub-
licans." Mr.. Prescott, of Herkimer, WAS not
disposed to act in hurry. He W uld prefer
later day than the Stu Of September, and would
rsiher join the democracy at once than 60 for
the republicans on the Fremont platform.
The Hon. Daniel Ullmann, formerly Of Cal
cutta, here came to the rescue, and asked, "Are
we afraid to meet in Syracuse on the Sth of Sep
TENDER because the republicans meet there on
that day" That was home thrust; but Mr..
II, adley Napoleon and bic Mtrshals) thought
TIE 9th would do as well, and perhaps better
than the Sib-tbe 9TH would certainly be day
too soon. Mr.. Erastus Brooks 'could not act
With the republicans, nor with the democrats
He was bound, as an American, to hold them al
arms length until they modified their doc
uipes." That's good; but Erastus in the next
breath, spoils 1t by declaring that "iuasnuch
as we hold principles In common with the re
publicsns-to wit, opposition to the extension
of slavery (oh. boD aud opposition to the pre-
cent national administration and to its odious
Kanfas policy Cab! hal be was willing to strike
fellowship 9th them or any other party that
would join and stand ~ that opposition to the
end"
Here begins the lifting Of the curtain, and
Gen. Gustavus Adolphus Scroggs cordially
seconded the motion. "IIe did not hesitate to
say that be wa, strongly in favor Incorporation
with the republicans, II the basis be honor able,
a. not resulting in the sacrifice Of any of our
principles" And Gen Scroggs, we must re.
