FROW SYRACUSE.

SYRACUSE, Sept. IA resolution was
offered to unite with the Peoples Union
/ Convention, and both unite in nominating
a ticket, but it was LAID on the table to take
regular course of business.
SYRACUSE, Sept. l1.-Resolutions of the
strongest Union character were presented,
calling all offers of peace treason, until the
! rebels lay down their arms. Nominations
not yet made it is thought they will unite
with the Republican Convention in the
choice of candidates.
SYRACUSE, Sept. I1.-In the Republican
Convention, a delegation from German
Republican Convention held yesterday, was
introduced, and their chairman submitted q
resolution adopted by that body. The reso-
luton speaks of the Germans holding a.
separate Convention, as the only means of
obtaining an expression of the sentiments of
the German population; that without the aid
of the Germans the Republican party-the
party of liberty-would never have been
successful. Look at the disaster at Bulls
Run. Who was it that kept together and
protected the flying army? Had they not
heard the name of Blenker's Brigade Who
was it that passed a weary night in sus-
pense on the damp land Of Hatteras Points
Was it not Weber, with his gallant forces.
Look, too, at the muster rolls throughout
the country, and you will find registered
whole regiments and brigades of German
citizens. Are we not always ready to sac
ri6ce all we hold dear-our little property
and our lives-to save the honor and ex-
istence of our adopted fatherland. Loud
The resolution refers to the
prejudice against the Germans and the war
fare waged against them by the Know
Nothings, and says let US be friends and
equals--not only in time of war and death,
but also in peace. Let us share your hon
or, rights, and privileges.
A resolution was passed receiving the
above resolution and thanking the gentle
men for the manner in which it had been
presented, and inviting them to seats on the
floor. The ticket of the Peoples Union

ton was made to ratify the Peoples ticket,

was then carried. Only few voices an |
