party of any in the State, and opposed to
the call issued 10y the State Committee We
gave the result of the proceedings last
week. During the morning session there
was an interesting discussion on resoln-
ton introduced by Mr.. Lille of Barnard
which is reported by the Woodstock Stand
ard, which we copy below.
The following is the resolution:
Resolved That all arc invited to participate the dongs
and deliberations Of this Convention who opposed to Sc
cesson and rebellion against ssernmrnt and who arc OPP,
to any uujust copronise for the settlement Of our dill
cues whatever. and who In favor Of sustaining ne
Administration in its efforts put down treason and rebel
lion by prosecuting the war 10 successful miuation
who desire that Freedom, Truth and Right should ever
prevail
Mr.. Lille supported his resolution in
few brief remarks, in which he took the
ground that supporting the government in
the suppression Of the rebellion being the
paramount question now before the country
it was inexpedient to adhere strictly TO par
ty organization. He would invite all men
who uphold the government to take part in
the proceedings of the convention. He
did not approve Of the call,-it was not
broad enough.
Charles p. Marsh Esq, of Woodstock,
did not understand why this resolution was
introduced. As member Of the County
Committee he did not feel justified in call
ing any other than Republican Conven-
ton, and he was opposed to holding any
other than such convention. He was in
hopes the convention would go forward in
the usual way and transact its business, and
deprecated the introduction of the resolu-
ton.
Judge Porter OF Springfield, moved that
the resolution be laid on the table, but sub
sequently. at the suggestion of Crosby Mil
Ter, Esq, of Pomfret, modified his motion
so as to refer it to the committee on reso-
buttons.
Hon. VIM. NJ. Pinery moved 10 amend
the resolution by inserting after the word
(" whatever" the words, "and who are OPP
posed to the extension of slavery into ter
ritory now free" The amendment was ac-
cepted by Mr.. Lille.
Warren C. French, Esq, of Woodstock,
moved that the resolution be further amend
ed by inserting after the word Conven-
ton the words. "who are in favor of the
principles of the Republican party, and"
Mr.. Pingry was opposed 10 the amend
ment because the resolution as it would then
read would be unnecessary. 1t would sim
ply leave us as we were before its passage.
Mr.. French remarked that that was
where he wanted 10 be left.
Mr.. Lewis Pratt Of Woodstock, conceded
in the remarks of Mr. Marsh. He want
ed nothing but republican Convention.
/ If democrats werr Convinced that they
could better support the government by
giving their votes for republican candidat es
let them do so, but he was opposed TO in
viting them into the convention and going
TO bed with them. He moved that the res
olution, be indefinitely postponed.
John f. Deane, Esq, of Cavendish, sup.
ported the motion to postpone. He did not
believe in the doctrine that because demo-
Gratis were discharging their duty, to the
country in aiding in suppressing rebellion,
we must take them into fellowship with US
in the management Of our party affairs
Neither did he believe that all issues, ex-
cept that Of war, were for the time being
obsolete. Our party organization is need
ed, our principles are needed. He saw
enough of amalgamation, at the State Con.
vention. So far as he knew, and he had
given the subject earnest investigation, the
democratic press Of the State did not ask
to have their candidates placed upon our
tickets.
Hon. Hugh ii. Henry of Chester, also
supported the motion TO postpone.
The question to indefinitely postpone
was taken and carried there being but one
dissenting vote. That of Mr.. Lille him.
self.
The resolution adopted for delegate con-
ventions in the future, was introduced by
Mr.. Pingry Of weathersfeld, and we put il
on record as follows -
Resofred That County Committee be instructed tc
call the convention delegate convention and thai
each town in the county be entitled to Delegates
one additional delegate for every fifty republican cas
in such town. at the femens meeting prior the
