following little paragraph:
FEELER.-The Republican State Conven-
ton refused to pass a resolution denouncing
the Secession platform of the Breckenridge
State Convention. This looks to US like a
feeler thrown out for the purpose of bringing
about fusion, Just before election, to defeat
the Union Democracy.
Here is the resolution that was indefinitely
postponed:
Resolred That the reasonable conclave who
recently assembled in this place, and under the
name of Democratic Convention, put forth
to the people a platform announcing in sub
stance their sympathy for traitors, and in con-
demnation of the Federal Administration in
IFS attempts to preserve, defend and vindicate
the Constitution and laws. meets with the
most unqualified condemnation of this Conven-
ton, and. as we believe, of vast and over
whelming majority of the people of the State.
The Appeal man takes great umbrage at
the publication of the above, and says very
hard things about US for doing so,-and he,
good soul, says he won't recriminate on US by
doing the same thing, but, at the same time,
gets off all the bile he can cast up. Now, we
reiterate all we have said, and, day by day,
since the Convention of the Chicago platform
boys in Sacramento City, is the truth of our
charge becoming more apparent, especially in
these parts. 1t will not win, Mr.. Appeal
after we charged you with throwing out a
feeler for a fusron to say to us: PROPOSE
tions were sent to you, to fuse, by the 'unsound
Breckinridgers, and were rejected" !" that don't
let you out. And since those reflections those
very " unsound Breckinridgers' ibid not the
gutta percha of your conscience crack at get
ting unsound OFF, have and do daily pro-
claim that the Repubs have treated them bet
ter than the Union Democracy and, on all fit
occasions, we charge you with giving them
and their reasonable organs aid and comfort.
Almost any one knows that the Democracy
united, out vote the Republicans of this State.
OF course, then, it is politically natural that
they should court the vote of the disafected
portion of the Democratic party, especially as
they earnestly desire to carry the State for the
Administration of Lincoln, Chicago platform
and all. We can join the Administration to
sustain the National Government and protect
its honor and flag, but we do not intend to
tread the Chicago platform and support the
political policy of Mr.. Lincoln. 1t will not
prove defense to you, Mr.. Appeal, after the
Lind of foil vour Corvnp-iop inJrlro1 IN to
say the above resolution " was superogatorg
and undignifed and bore somewhat the ap-
pearance of being meant for a gag upon free
speech" CT that it was introduced out of order
after the regular series; the President of your
Convention decided it in order That is all
excusatory, and not defensive This resolution
got los votes in Convention. and the debate
indicates that it expressed the true sentiments
of the Convention but policy and counting
votes of the unsound," carried the day, and
indefinitely postponed the resolution by
majority of 81.
When your Convention struck out from the
4th reported resolution the words, "all parties
it had special reference to the unsound,"
and when the Convention wished to express
their condemnation of their action they backed
and filed, and all because vinegar won't catch
flies, as well as molasses. Rebakes are so aw-
ful, Mr.. Appeal, that it makes us feel bad, for
we have heard Of Satan doing such things and
reproyed for it.
