The Constitutional Union Convention,
From our Special Correspondent
TKoY. Tuesday Sept 9, 1901?
The Constitutional Union Convention, composed
Of two delegates with aternates from each Assembly
District throughout the State, assembled yesterday
afternoon &, Association Hail. in the City Of Troy,
in pursuance Of Il cs Of the Constitutional Union
State Committee, held at Albany on the 5ih inst.
At p. IN. the Hon. +. A. rallmadgc called the
meeting 10 ORDER aud read the call for the Con
ton, which WIS received with accamaion.
Mr.. TaIlmadge then nominated the temporary
Chairman the Hon. Il. Davis Noxon Of Syracuse.
Mr.. Noxon upon taking the chair, returned
thanks for the compliment that had been rendered
him. and, in the course Of lis remarks, SAID: eve
have Lad enough OF this war; blood enough has
been split; the country has suffered enough, ard we
have al abundance of expenses. Let us .tOp this
war without any further expenses than are atso-
lutey necessary. We shall not get nd of j. unless
we can have a change in members Of Ccngiess;
we shall have no peace until that change is Effected
There il no hope Of rcscung the Union except by
such means: that seems to me the most plausible.
The last time that you had assembled, the ject Of
your deliberations was to avert the calaniies OF
civil war. Pafsionately devoted TO The Union, you
appealed 10 your country to stay the tore M a
sectional fanaiicsm. Regardless Of all but the well
fare Of your country you sacrificed the plde Of party
organization, and united with those who were ell
gagged in the same struggle. You Were defeated.
Rapidly Us the bolt followed tie beginnings flash,
civil war followed that defeat. Felow-ciiizens we
are now TO deliberate TO the line Of political action
proper for patriots TO take when their country is in
volved in q struggle for s existence. Fortunately
for Us members Of the Constitutional Union party OF
New York our landmarks are distinctly before u.s.
The Constitution Of tie United Sisres, the naxins
Of Washington, tie monirionS Of tho Fatbers Of the
Republic, and the patriotic utteranoes Of Clay,
Webster, and Jgcksoa, are the pillars Of fire which
point the way through the gloom Of this house. We
reject and abbor national policy which 10 dictated
by vindictve revenge. While we ourselves, TO
strer CHEN lie arm Of the Prcsden, of the United
States, viii give him millions Of men and thous
and- Of million. OF treasure 10 vindica,e the national
honor aud restore tie Republic, We demand from
him that lie s! all obey hs oath Of Office and protect
the Constitution and hbertics Of the American people
Gentlemen, the crisis Of this hour is APPALLING. II
il not alone that our armies def aied. The pain
full truth is manfet that tie President q the United
States and our Generals in the field are embarrassed
and threatened by the leaders of party whose OBJ
iec is 10, the restoration Of this Union, but the abo
liton Of Slavery. Their fanaticsm renders them
unfit for the high duties Of staesnalship aud tier
sectional malice depriyes them Of The mAgnanimity
essential 10 cur imperial Republic
Our duty is clear. let us animate and cheer our
soldiers in the field contributing TO their wants and
swelling their numbers. At TIE same time, LET n
crnsb at the baot-box those reckless men who are
ready 10 throw away their own Liberties nrd destroy
the unity Of the Republic, 70 that they may wreaA
upon States which now are and shall Forever remain
our sister States the unmiiigatcd curfe Of abolition
