Civil WAR--A SCENE IN THE New YoRK De-
MooRATlC CONVENTION. --During the session of
the Democratic State Convention of New
York last week, series of resolutions was
adopted urging a compromise of the national
troubles, and opposing coercion. As they
were being read, Chancellor Walworth APP
peared on the platform, and his venerable
looks claimed instant attention from the con-
vention, and he was received with an out
burst of enthusiastic applause. lie said;
@ Gentlemen Of the Convention am far adj
vanced in years and not in the ha6lt OF attend
ing conventions of this character, but could
not resist coming here to enter my protest
against civil war. have seen the horror of
such conflict. In the war of 1872 my house
in Pattsburg was sacked by the British.
battle was fought opposite my very door, and
the bullets that were fired fell like hailstones
around my dwelling. In the easement of my
door remains to this day embedded one Of
those bullets, memento of the fight In that
struggle saw my fellow-ctizens shot down
by my side. | know then the horrors of a
foreign war, and they IRE nothing as com
pared with the horrors of civil war. A
civil war is war among brethren. We are
all brethren in this confederacy of States-the
people of the South are our brethren-not on
ly nominally, but actually our brethren.
In Georgia alone have the names of one
thousand citizens whose ancestors were the
near relatives of my own. In the same State
alone are over one hundred relatives of the
family of liillhouse, whose name Is known as
that of one of the patriots of the revolution,
and whose descendant now occupies a seat in
our State Senate. And so, scattered all over
the Southern States are the near relatives of
the men of the North, and perhaps there is
scarcely member of this convention who has
not some such ties in the States of the South.
IL would be as brutal, in my opinion, TO send
men TO butcher our own brothers of the South
ern States as it would be to massacre them in
the Northern States. We are told, however,
that it is our duty 10, and we must enforce the
laws. But why---end what laws are TO be en-
forced There were laws that were to be en-
| forced in the time Of the American revolution,
and the British Parliament and Lord North
sent armies here to enforce them. But what
did Washington say in regard TO the enforce
ment of those laws That man-honored at
home and abroad more than any other man on
earth ever was honored-did he go for enforc-
ing the laws? No, he went to resist the laws
that were oppressive against free people and
against the injustice of which they rebclled
Did Lord Chatham 60 for enforcing the laws?
No, he gloricd in the defense Of the liberties of

/ No, we must avert civil war il possible, and
close by exhorting my brethren to do all in
their power to avert civil war. Concession,
conciliation-any thing but that--and no man
amongst us in his dying hour will regret that
his conscience is clear, and that he can lay his
hand upon his heart and say, did all in my

| Immense sensation followed the remarks of
the venerable old chancellor, and the deep ST.
lence that had attended his remarks was fol-
lowed by an enthusiastic outburst ofapplause.
| Mr.. George, of Orange, and Mr.. S0uter, Of
Queens, each natives Of Virginia, responded
in touching terms to the remarks OF Chancel-
Tor Walworth, and large portion OF the con-
vention gave vent to their feelings in tears.
The scene was rendered yet more impressive
and affecting when Mr.. W. II. Carroll, Ma
rylander. took the floor, and with all the clo-
qucnce of deep feeling appealed to the North
| to stay its hand ere it did any act to plunge
the country in civil war. The venerable APP
pearance of Mr.. Carroll, and his alluson to
his ancestors, one of whom signed the Decla-
ration of Independence, while his grandfather
| Daniel Carroll) ceded to the United States
his manor, on which now stands the Federal
Capitol, touched the heart Of the convention,
and when he had closed, a unanimous call
was made for the adoption of the second reso-
luton against civil war BY acclamation, and
1t was carried with burst Of applause that
made the rafters of the building ring.
