appointed by the Convention held
here in April last, beg to lay before
the Democratic Clubs which they
represent the following statement:
On the second Monday of this
month, Convention met here, III
which - Districts of the State were
represented. The first action taken
by that Convention, was to appoint q
committee to confer with the under
signed, members of the State Central
Executive Committee, with view of
reconciling, if possible, those differ
ences which had unhappily arisen in
tho State. We met this committee,
in full and free conference, and,
after this interchange of views, we
submitted the following proposition
as an equitable and amicable adjust
ment of all the questions which
threatened to produce dissension
among the Democracy OF the State:
"The Central Executive Committee,
having been invited to conference
by the Convention now assembled
here, and being most solicitous to
secure harmony in the State, beg
leave to submit to the Conference
Committee now in session the follow
ing basis of union, namely: That the
Convention proceed to the nomina-
ton of delegates to the National
Democratic Convention Mt New York,
to fill up the delegation of tho State.
And the Executive Committee pledge
themselves to use all their efforts to
have these nominations confirmed by
all the organizations represented by
the said Committee. The Executive
Committee further recommend, that
an Executive Committee be appointed
by this Convention to act with that
selected by the Convention in April
last; and that, in the opinion of this
Committee of Conference, it is advi-
sable that the two Executive Com
mittccs should be consolidated ut the
earliest moment possible"
This proposition met the unani-
nous approval of the Committee of
Conference, and was ratified by tho
Convention with the same unanimi-
ty. It is now submitted to the De
mocratic Clubs, represented by tho
Executive Committee, with an car
nest hope that it will receive their
hearty and cordial endorscmt mt.
This action, on their part, is all that
is needed to secure full and perfect
accord throughout the State-an
object Of paramount Importance to
us all. It will be observed that the
Executive Committee have not as
sumcd to themselves the right or tic
power to mako an unconditional
agreement. They only propose "a
plan, which, i'll their judgment, will
be productive Of the llappicst results,
and which they venture to urge the
Democratic Clubs to adopt and r,li-
fy.
Tho Committee cannot close with
out expressing, i'll the most emphatic
manner, their sense of the spirit of
Cancellation and the earnest desire
for harmony, which marked the con-
duct of the late Convention; and
they beg to invoke, on the part Of
those whom they represent. {. like
manifestation of the same laudable
spirit. Wo appeal confidently to
tho Democratic Clubs to meet
promptly tho proffors of peace and
union held out to them, in tho full
assurance that such action on their
part will place the State in its proper
position-ono of perfect harmony
and cordial co operation between nll
sections. Respectfully,
