Resolved, That this State Committee, repre-
senting that portion Of the Democratic party Of
the state Of New York. which sustained the
Maryland Institute platform Of the las,
election witness with deep concern and
apprehe ension, the long predicted result oi
the Northern sectional aggression upon
the rights of the Southern States, that, rs We
have uniformity opposed in the past, the policy
which We foresaw, must produce disunion, SO We
are equally prompt to raise our !oices against
civil war, that the worst and most Intellectual ar
gument that can be addressed to the seeding
States, is war that We deny that the presen.
struggle is in any sense q war for the Union men
and insist that those who have precipitated the
states into tier neither care nor expect nor
desire TO restore the Union thereby, and therefore
Resoired, That We advocate the proposition tor
an armistace between u now contending arDies
North and South, and the immediate convocation
Of q convention of delegates from all the states
which acknow wledged themselves members OF the
UnioD in November, 1860, to the end that oil dit
ference may be peacefully adjusted. and our land
be saved from bloodsaed, and restored to peace
and conc ord and Unien.
Res0lred, That the endeav0r TO e0erce seeding
States mas had its fitting counterpart on the recent
aggressions made upon the rights Of tree speech
and free press in those States which still adhere
to the Union that afr the announcement that
the war Was law highet than the Constitution
We we're prepared to see the party now in power,
declare the constitution suspended at and dnriDg
their pleasure aud that the arrests without war
rams and incarceration without examination Of cti
zens net adjudged guilty OF any crime. the denisl
OF the right Of petition, the setting At defiance the
courts Of law OF our state by order Of military Of
fcials. the suppression Of newspapers. the depre-
datens Of the militia Of their armies the dscisra
ton and nt1rcement Of martial Law, the unau-
thorised sesure Of vessels without the sanction Of
legal proof. and the conversion Of our forts into
military ba stiles, demand at the hands people
sealouc of their liberties solemn and indignant
protest.
Re.olsed, That this State Convention haslearn-
I'd With much satisfaction Of tho refusal Of The
State Comm;ttes, Of which Dean Richmond is
chairman, to cept the overtures OF the Republic
cans for coalition with them upon single State
ticket upon the appreachiDg election /; that tor
this declared determin atien to continue to labor
and the overtures Of the Republican party and its
policv. We 70 peetfuily tender to them the right
hand Of fellowship that sacrificing al minor
considerations, and buryng past dissent'ons in de
sre to see . consolidated and united front oppos-
cd TO the Republican party this state convention
will not call . separate State Convention At this
time. and that We recommend to those Democrats
who have re-orgsnised this organization, . unite
in the election oi delegates to the state Conven-
ton called to meet st Syracuss on tho 4th day o.
September. believing that that Convention will
d,stiucty declare itself for measures Of peace and
