j. Tucker, WIN. G.. Sands and Harry
Wilbur, reported series of resolutions
which were unanimously adopted.
The following arc the resolutions.
Resolred, That the National and Con-
stitutionai Democrats of the State Of New
York have witnessed with feelings of deep
regret and disapproval the rejection by the
Charleston Convention OF the delegates
regularly chosen, in accordance with the
usages of the party, by the Congressional
Districts of this State, under the call of the
State Committee; that the subsequent dis
ruption Of that Convention, and the seccs.
sion of most of the Democratic States
therefrom, are 10 be directly traced to TIN
misrepresentation OF the sentiments and
preferences OF the Democratic masses Of
the State by the votes given by the major.
Iity of the delegation which was admitted
to sit IN that Convention, and that we can
not recognize in the nominations made by
the so called Convention at Baltimore
presided over by Mr.. Tod, any Ct the evi
dences of regurrity and usage which wouls
render its action binding upon us as Dem
ocrats and party men.
Resolved, That the thanks OF the true
democracy of New York are due, and are
hereby rendered, to those representatives OF
Virginia. North Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama. Mississippi, Texas. Arkansas. Mis-
souri,, Tennessee, California an Oregon
who gave their generous support and re-
cognition to the regular delegation from
this State, and that the Chairman and
Secretary of this State Committee trans
nit copy of this resolution to the Chair
man Of the Democratic State Committee
Of each Of said States.
Resotred, That though thus aggricved
and injured. the National Democrats of
New York have not altered and will not
fater in their attachment to the principles
of our party. which no wrong or outrage
can deter us from supporting and advoca-
ting, ard which they have. never besi;ated
to declare and sustain in darker days than
this; that standing now as always IN firm
resistance to Northern fsnstfcisra and to
the social warfare wagcd upon SoBthers
rights and Southern iDstft at IONS, we are
not surprised or disappointed to find tlI,
builders Of the Euffalo pla'form-the trait.
ors who FIRST organized Nortbrp Dcmoc
racy, in 1913, nnder the leadership Of Var
Buren, and Adams-now active ami fore
most in sustaining Presidential ndMatt
who is repudiated, as Martin Van Burer
has been repudiated, twelve years ago, by
the Southern Democracy.

Breckenridge as the only true and regular
candidate Of the National Democracy fol
the Office Of Pres ident Of The United States
