EyEpETTV PARTY

The s,ate Executive Committee Of the National
Union Constitutional BELL. Everett party held meet

very generally circulated among the public. The Com
mittee organized by Mr.. Fred. a, Tallmadge taking
the chair. and Mr.. Geo. A. Ha'sey assuming the ie-
spousibe position Of Secretary. The principal bus-
ness transacted by the Committee will be found in The
following preamble and resolutions, which were nnaL
mOusly adopted:
Wiersas, After the labor of few months, since
the last meeting of the Union Committee oil the state
of New-York our most fearful anc1pauons IN regard
to the then future destiny Of our eouotry nave been
fully realized. o..
that would necessarily flow from the indulgence OF
Marty sire aud sur tanned raDcor; when we urged the
sdop IN of measures Of Cancellation and fraternai feel
ing and expressed the hope that nut uAl foToealaice
and a loyal devotion 10 our common country shonid
NOT ONLY guide and control the people, but characterize
the councils of the National end State Governments
yre pere gtiynatzed as UDion Savers" Our gloomy
orebodipes were rdiculed aud the painful predictions
of a dissolved Union and OF country Oh traeted by
civil war; we're regarded by partisan Leaders as bus
the emarations Of rresoluiion and timidlty. Oar
yorst apprehensions are being realized, and those
peaceful lie Ids that were then eening with Tue ooun,
Ties of Providence now drenehed by toe biooo Oh
Americans slan by iraterna HANDS; our once eolous
Union severed in twain and over large portion OF
our land Confederate flag 10 substituted ior our
proud national banner. AS Americans we deprecate
it; as citizens who openly and boldly avowed their
| devotion 10 the Union, the Constitution, and
| the enforcement of the laws" we still proclaim
our adherence 10 those principles, and our unyield-
| ing determination to sustain then. In the midst
of national perils it is time to falter, but true
patriotism should arouse elasticity OF purpose COM
mensurate with the extent Of national calamity.
If partisan strife and political warfare still TO
gross the public mind and The great and fundamental
Interests Of country TO be forgotten
merged 10 the contests for political ascendency, there lie
bat little hope for the permenency Of this Coniedera.
CIV. May we not, then, hope that party or political
distinctions may be obteraled iii this STATE and that
may all unite in one common determination to sus-
tain aud perpetuate 4" our Union and our Conslitu-
ton And we hail with JOY the recent triumph Of our
Union friends In Kentucky, and trust that every true
patriot of the North will sympathize with and sustain
the pineipes Of that noble band and show them and
the world that there ia necessity Of any iepFessi-
bic conflict between the people of the t~o seciions OF
the country, aud that we believe the Union be
stored upon the great landmarks laid down by our
fathers in the Constitution.
ResOige3, That the Committee adjourn 10 meet Al
Syracuse on the 4th Of September next at IL N.
