is q brief synopsis:-
They declare that the National Democracy Of
New York have no new allegiance to proclaim
and no new doctrine to svow, but renew the pro-
test against the absorption Of all other political
issues in the agitation Of the Slavery question
and repeat the question whether this Union il to
be preserved for white men or destroyed on ac-
count Of negroes;
That we equally oppose and reprobate the plan
of Lincoln for interfering with the rights Of
shareholders in the Territories by an Act Of Con-
gress and the plan Of Douglas for Interfering
with them by unfriendy Territorial Legislation,
and that our principles stand defended by the
Supreme Court Of the United States in the bred
Scott decision as the doctrine of the Constitu-
ton;
| Thatwe endorse and ratify the Platform adopt
ed by Cushing's Baltimore Institute Convention
and accept it MS our political faith;
| That we heartily endorse and approve Of the
administration Of James Buchanan, also the
nomination Of Breckenridge and Lane, rs the
only regular candidates Of the National Democ-
racy;
That we reprobate and condemn the course Of
the New York delegation to Charleston and Bal
| tlmOre, and charge upon their factious conduct
the disruption and division of the Democratic
party;
That the pretended nomination Of Douglas and
| johnson, has no semblance Of regularity and il
| not binding upon the Democratic party;
That Mr.. johnson was not nominated at all
and that Mr.. Douglas nomination was BY a frac-
ton OF a broken up convention, by a minority Of
hopelessly Republican States, and finally;
That as it is reasonably apparent that Breck-
inridge and Lane win receive from the Southern
