ALBANY, Aug. l5.-The Breckenridge State
Central Committee met at the Delavan House in
this city Yesterday, twelve members out of six
teen were present Mr. John A. Green, Chair
man. called the committee TO order. Alter an
interchange Of views, the following resolutions
we're adopted unanimously:
ResOloed, That this State Committee, repre-
sentng that portion of the Democratic party of
the State of New York which sustained the
Maryland Institute Platform at the last election
witness with deep concern and apprehension the
long predicted result of the Northern sectional
aggressions upon the rights of the Southern
States. That as we have uniformly opposed in
the past the policy which we foresaw must pro-
duce disunion, we are equally prompt to raise
our voices against civil war. That the worst and
most eifectual argument that can be adduced to
the seeding States is war. That we deny that
the present struggle Is in every sense a war for
the Union, and insist iiat those who have precip-
itated the States into hostilties neither care nor
desire to restore the Union thereby.
Resolred, Thas We advocate the proposition for
an armistice between the now con,endng armies,
North and South, and the immediate coavocation
of a convention of delegates from all the States
which acknowledged themselves members of the
Union in November 1860, to the end that all
differences may be peaceably adjusted, our land
saved from bloodshed and restored to peace, con
cord and Union.
RESOLVED, That the endeavor TO coerce seeding
States has had its fitting Counterpart in the recent
aggressions made upon the rights of free speech
and free press in the States which still adhere
to the Uuion. That after the announcement
that there a higher law than the Constitu-
ton, we were prepared to see the party now in
power declare the Constitution suspended at and
during their pleasure, and that the arrests with
out warrant, and the incarceration without ex
animation of citizens not adjudged guilty of any
crime, the denial of the right of petition, the set
ting at defiance the courts OF law of our State by
order of military officials; the suppression of
newspapers, the deprivation of the military of
their arms, the declaration and enforcement of
martial law, the unauthorized seizure and search
without sanction of legal proof and the CONVEX
sion of the forts into military bastiles; demand ut
the hands Of people Jealous of their liberties
solemn and indignant protest.
Reso!red, That this State Committee has
learned with much satisfaction of the refusal of
the State Committee, of which Dean Richmond
is Chairman, to accept the overtureS of the Re
publicans for coalition with them upon single
State ticket upon the approaching election. That
for this declared determination to continue to
labor for the overthrow of the Republican party
and policy, we respectfully tender to them the
right hand OF fellowship. That sacrificing all
minor considerations and burying past dssen-
siOns in desire to see consolidated front op-
posed to the Republican party, this State Com
mttee will not call a separate State Convention
at this time, and that we recommend those Dem
ocrats who have recognized this organization to
unite in the election of delegates 10 the State
Convention called to meet at Syracuse on the
4tlI day of September, believing that Conven-
ton will distinctly declare itself for measures of
peace and reconciliation.
A resolution was unanimously adopted expell-
ing Matthew Mahon from the committee, he hav-
ing accepted office under the Federal Govern
ment, and declared himself supporter of its
policy.
