The State Committee reassembled at 8 p. No. when
the sub. Committee through their Chairman, sub
mited the following
The subcommittee which was appointed to confer
with the sub Committee of which Benjamin Wood,
ESQ., is Cbai man. report: That we met al DelmonicOs
with Mr. Wood and Mr.. Latin, two members Of that
sub Committee, Mr. Kennedy being absent, as was
understood and stated TO us because he opposed
TO any union or cooperation with
Mr. Wood cor menced with proposition TO sub
con mee, asking us 10 recommend TO our State Com
mittee 10 withdraw our entire Electoral ticket, in
consideration that they would recommend their State
Committee to give us half the State ticket and would
also recommend to their State Committee to request
their Electors if chosen 70 vote for Breckenridge, il the
siIugge rhoud prove TO be between BIeckinrdge and
Lincoln We declined TO cay that we would recommend
stated that we did not feel that we could trust the
leaders Of their organization, who had proved them
selves untaithful 10 previous political engagements
made, or attempted 10 be made with them: that as
this withdrawal of Electors would be construed to
be and in fact would be endorsement of the Squser
Sovereignty doctrine of MIR. Douglas and abandon
mtn of the platform adopted at Baltimore at the Mary
land Institute and by our State Convention at SYRIA
cuse 1t would not receive the sanction Of party;
and that it woud be impossible TO combine the anti
Lincoln vote of the State under such circumstances.
We then made proposition to Mr. Wood sub CON-
mittee asking them TO recommend to their State Com
mittee place their Electoral ticket eleven of
District Electors and one of Electors at large, in
case our Electoral ticket should be withdrawn ALSO
that the four candidates for State officers should be
equally divided We stated that we would recommend
the adoption of this proposition TO State Co nmee
Mr.. Latin replied that he would not make any such
recommends ion 10 his Committee. Mr.. Wood declined
TO ray whit Their be would recommend it or not hut he
sad he would submit it 10 his State Committee without
recommendation. We told him would construe his
decli9ing 10 recommend it as a refusal.
We then made second proposition TO Mr.. Wood 8
subcommittee, asking them to recommend the same
proposition to their State COMMITTEE, except that we
should take instead Of eleven District Electors and
one Of the Electors at Large. We stated that we
would recommend the adoption of this proposition TO
our State Committee. Mr.. Wood declined 10 say
whether he would recommend it or not, aud we told
him we considered this declaration as a refusal.
We then made a third proposition to Mr.. Woods
subcommittee, asking them TO recommend the same
proposition TO their State Committee, except that we
should take District Electors and one Elecor at
LaIge. We stated that would recommend the
adoption of this proposition TO our State Committee
Mr. Wood decliDedto say that he would recommend it,
ana we told him we considered this declaration as a
refusal.
Mr. Wood then asked ms to recommend to orr State
Committee TO accept of haf the State ticket aud
five District Electors; TO which replied that this
