STATE CONVENTION THE ia NJ
NANTES ADMITTED-THE Mo
ZAR'ES EHE SOD,

SYRACUSE, Sept. 5.-The convention met
at nine o'clock A motion was Immediately
made to reconsider the vote admitting both
the Mozart and Tammany delegates. hot
debate then ensued. Thd chair decided that
the New York delegates would not he allowed
to speak. McMasters of the Freeman's Jour
nal endeavored to get the floor, but the con-
vention refused to hear him, and ordered the
main question. The convention, by vote OF
ia against 81, reconsidered the vote admit
ting both New York delegations. The Tam
many delegation have been admitted alone,
thus excluding the AIozarlers, or pace wing.
There is tremendous excitement.
The committee on resolutions reported a Sc
ries affirming that the watcword which should
animate the democracy in defence Of our im
perilled country is the sentiment OF jackson,
that "the Federal Union must be preserved )"
that the claim to relinquish state allegiance is
unwarranted by the constitution, is at war with
its letter and spirit, and is incompatible with
good government; that the democracy have
ever maintained, as they still do, that seces
sion is revolution, that the seizure OF forts and
property OF the government, followed by the
authorizati IN of prlvateers, precipitated the
country into war; that 1t Is the duty OF the
government to oppose this war; with all lis
power and resources and the duty Of the peO-
pie to rally to its support, until the struggle
ends with the triumph OF the constitution and
laws, and the restoration of the Union
that we hold next i'll guilt TO the
faction in arms, the northern agitators
that it was the duty Of congress to have en-
couraged loyal citizens of the south by ample
guarantees OF their rights and by just and
honorable concessions, and we believe it to be
the duty of the government while putting
down rebellion to offer to the loyal people of
the dsaliected states the remedy which the
constitution itself provides, a convention of
all the states for the revision aud amendment
of that instrument; that the democracy of
this state regard any attempt to pervert the
conflict into war tor emancipation OF the
slaves fatal to all the hopes OF res
toraton OF the Union; that we protest
against the doctrines that any power eX-
cept The Representatives OF the people
can suspend the habeas corpus, and protest
against the passport system, against govern
ment establishing state police, against the
assumption OF the government TO repress dis
cussion by a free press by refusal OF mail ia.
ciIities and finally, we protest against the
presidents doctrine that states derive their
authority from the federal government. The
last resolution concludes that democratic vic.
tory in this state can be hardly less suspicious
to the cause OF the Union than the triumph
of our arms in the field, and therefore we hold
those trying to create dissensions in the ranks
of the democracy not only treacherous 10 our
principles, but dislUyal to the country. The
following are the nominations =
