half of this convention, a suitable memorial 10
the Legislature, urging them to submit the Crit
tenden compromise to vote of the electors of the
State at the earliest practicable day.
ResoLued, That this convention earnestly but
respectfully urge upon Congress immediate action
for the adoption of such timely and adequate
measures of conciaton as are in its present power
to enact, and to submit at this session amend
ments of the Constitution, for ratification by the
conventions of the several States and that, in the
failure of Congress to act the Legislature of this
State be requested to take the initiatory steps,
under the Constitution, for summoning general
convention for proposing amendments to that IN
strument.
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this conven-
ton, a compliance with the request of the Leg
islature of Virginia, that Commissioners from
the several States be sent to Washington to con-
fer upon the present crisis in the affairs OF the
nation, is eminently proper and expedient; and
we trust that the Legislature of this State will
Immediately respond to such request by the ap-
po:ntment of such Commissioners.
Resolved, Pending these remedial measures,
we implore the States in the attitude of secession
to stay the sword and save the nation from civil
war; until the ''sober second thought of the peo-
pie of all the States can be rendered efficient in
perfecting the work of compromise, and in the
reservation of peace. To the Southern States
which have not seeded we also earnestly appeal
to join hands with us in staying the progress oi
dissolution, and preparing the minds of ouI
c0untrymen to meet on some common ground
where they may preserve to themselves and then
posterity that Constitution and Union which ha:
been fraught with SO much happiness to this peo
r,la

Revolution Not Riot.

Mr.. Seward, in the course of his speech upon
the New York monster petition, rather UNDER ate,i
the depth and strength of the secession move
ment. The Senator assumed the ground of the
radical Republicans, and treated the secessionists
as mob, to be hereafter dispersed by the reading
of the riot act or the firing of few voleys OF
musketry. One would suppose from reading this
speech that the movement in the South is of no
more account than an Astor place riot. Such is
not the fact. If the movement in the South is a
riot-and that depends entirely upon the future
1t IL the most important in the history of the
world. 10 is riot in which eight millions OF
people are enSaged-free, proud, courageous peo
pie. with arms in their hands. No reading of
riot acts, no appeal to the supremacy of the Fed
eral law, will disperse these rioters. Then. if
Mr. Lincoln intends to fight them, the question
will arise, where are his troops to come from?
and the still more important one, if the rioters
are subdued, how can they be kept in submission
except by the raising and maintaining of a large
standing army, a measure alike repugnant to the
people of all sections? 1t is the error of the Re
publican leaders, and very grave one. that they
entirely misunderstood the motives and acts OF
the leading secessonstst and unless the ewes of all
parties are opened to the truth. adjustment with
out long and exhausting civil war, will be al
together impossible-Ner York Herald.

young Giant of the North west, and now the De

Addison Gardner, Greene G. Bronson, Erastus
Corning, Amasa j. Parker, and Samuel Tilder
as commissioners to attend the Conference in

sition of the Northern Democracy against coer
cion can save this country from civil war. Pen
