W conferred upon him. His duties, he said, would be brief, and would soon be performed. This large and ear nest looking assemblage o f delegates representea the true feeling of the State, in regard to the great question at issue. It was not the question of W h ig or Democratic principles that was now pending. The great ques tion was the simple one, whether or not, Slavery should be extended in to Free Territory. (Applause.) On that great question our State has spoken often, and spoken lustily. She declared against the admission of Missouri as a Slave State, and has since lifted up her voice against the spread of Slavery, on many impor tant occasions, down to the present time— at least to the month o f Jan uary, when a spurious Democracy spoke on the subject. The State al ways speaks against Slavery, and speaks with a good voice. In 1836 New York voted tor Van Burcn,and he was elected. In 1840 she voted for Harrison, and he was elected. In 1844 she voted for Polk, and he was elected. In 1848 she voted for Taylor, and he was elected. In 1852 she voted, and may the Lord pardon us for the mistake! (laughter and applause,) for Franklin Pierce, and he was elected. In 1856 she will vote for John C. Fremont, and he will be elected. (Shouts ot applause and three cheers.) Whether the State has produced these results or not, she has indicated them. It has come to be a political proverb— “ As goes New York so goes the Union.” A Convention at Cincinnati has put in nomination an individual who, like one o f old, comes forth to meet us with sword and spear, threatening to give our flesh to the fowls ot the air, and to the beasts o f the fields; but we have a young champion who will smite this Goliah of Democracy and give his carcass to the beasts of the field, to show these uncircmn- cised Philistines that there is a God in Israel.

On taking the Chair, (to which ho was conducted by Messrs Floyd and Marsh,) the President proffered his thanks in a brief speech, which was applauded to the echo. Judge Edmonds, o f New York, moved a Committee on Resolutions — two from each Judicial District. Agreed to; and the chair appointed the following: Messrs. Edmonds, Brcnninghaus- cn, Maurice, Maison, Green, God dard, Hurl hurt, Kingsland, Hitch cock, Noxon, Baldwin, Rathbun, Beach, Southwick, Davis and Mer- sercau. Mr. Dayton moved a Committee of two from each Judicial District, to nominate an Elector for the r S W a r - pective Districts; and also to nomi nate frwo Electors at large. Mr. M. I. Townsend objected to the latter clause of the Resolution. The same Committee should not be entrusted with so large powers. After some conversation, the Res olution was divided, and the latter part was stricken out; and tlnis a- mended it was passed. Mr. Segoinc moved that the Com mittecs to appoint District Delegates name one from* each district to con stitute a Committee to nominate State Electors. [Unanimously a- greed to: Mr. Dayton moved\ that the Con vention, viva voce , do nominate a candidate for Governor, [Agreed to. Mr. Peters begged leave to name John A .

On the announcemen t of the re sult, Mr, Grover mitved the unanimous nomination of Mr. King, [Three :cheers.] IIo said that although .many western delegates desired Mr. IWadsworth’s nomination, they were not only satisfied with the nomina tion of Mr. King, [cheers,] but ’would give him as generous a vote and as large n majority as they bad intended to give Mr. Wadsworth. [Cheers.] The nomination was then made unanimous with three cheers for King and as many for Wadsworth. Mr. Maurice in the name of Mr. King, and as a Delegate from Qucbns, thanked the Convention, and promised a satisfactory major ity on Long island for King and the good cause o f Freedom and Fremont. [Cheers.] A proposition was then made to nominate James S. Wadsworth, by acclamation, for Lt. Governor; but Mr. Grover said Mr. W . could not accept the nomination',- and de clined it permptorily, adding that he would be found in \the front ranks during this and every other cam paign which he might live to see, battling for Freedom. The Convention, on Mr. Peters’ motion, then took a recess to 7 o’clock. E vening S ession — 7 p - m . Mr. Seaman o f Richmond moved the appointment of a Committee to wait upon Hon. John A . King, who is now in the city, and inform him of his nomination. Agreed to. The Chair named Messrs Seaman and Grover as such Committe. The Committee selected by the Congressional Delegations, to nomi nate State Electors, were named as follows: 1 James Maurice, 18 Andrew Gilchrist, 2 J.E.Cammainyro,19 Willard Troll, 8 James H.

Smith, 17 Bloomfield Usher, Mr. Pinckney, of New York, moved to proceed to nominate a candidate for Lieutenant-Governor. Mr. Grover said lie had nomina ted a candidate for Governor who was not accepted. He now desired td name a gentleman for Lieuten ant Governor, whom he trusted the j Convention would approve—Henry R. Selden, of Mo. t roc. [Cheers. It was suggested that he should move his nomination bv acclama tion. [Cheers.] He would therefore, make a motion to that effect, [cheers. The Chair put trie nomination, and it was unanimously adopted , •with three times three cheers. A motion to proceed to the nomi nation, of a Canal Commissioner was then adopted. The names o f Mr. Baker, o f Wash ington, Mr. Gardiner of Montgom ery, Mr. Sherrill, ot Washington,and Mr. Chapin, ot Albany were pre sented. The first ballot resulted as follows: Ogdcu N. Chapin 64 Charles II. Sherrill, 62 Cornelius Gardinier, 72 Isaac Baker, 38 Mr. Lewis 1 . A t this stage of the proceedings, the Committee returned with lion. the nominee o f the ^ ^ # Convention tor Governor, who was introduced to the convention, and was received with great enthusiasm and repeated cheers. Mr. King spoke for twenty minutes with much feeling and eloquence. Ae was con stantly interrupted with rounds of Applause, and at the conclusion of his remarks cheer followed cheer. Henry It. Selden, Esq., the nomi nee for Lt. Governor, was then call ed out, and Was warmly received.— He spoke for a few minutes feelingly and eloquently, and at his closing was enthusiastically cheered. Mr Seaman remarked that there was a committe from the North A- merican Convention who wished to present a communication to the Con vention. Mr Townsend opposed any action which looked to a coalition with any other organization. Mr Grover, when he acted with the democratic party, believe this to be its policy: Like death and the grave, to take all that came to it.— If any portion, o f the American par ty desired to act with the Republi cans, let us bid them welcome, Mr Townsend further briefly sta ted his position. He was willing to hear the Committee. Mr. W olff was a German citizen He could not act with any party which sought to proscribe any class of citizens; but he would not be so discourteous as to refuse to receive any committee which might desire to be heard. If, when they speak, •they filial! utter Anti-Democratic sentiments, the Convention can make a proper response to them. Ih e Committee (Messrs. Stevens and Wnteybtiry) appeared, and read a series ot resolutions, declaring the determination of those whom the Convention represents, to support, in this contest, the nominees and the principles of the Republican par- ty; This announcement was received with cheers.

The Convention then adjourned until Thursday morning. SECOND DAY. S yracuse , Sept. 18—8 a . m . The Convention re-assembled at the nj>: pointed hour, and proceeded to the selec tion of Candidates for the Office of State Prison Inspector, and Clerk o f the Court o f Appeals. On the first Ballot, Wesley Bailey, of Utica, Oneida county, was nominated for Inspector of State Prisons. On the first ballot, Russell F. Hicks, of Livingston county,was nominated for Clerk of the Court o f Appeals. The Committee appointed for that pur pose,nominated* the following as State Pres idential Electors, and they were confirmed by the Convention: Muses II. Grinncll,of New York city, and James S. Wadsworth, o f Gencsco, Living ston coonty. The Committee appointed for that pur pose reported to the Convention the names of the District electors. They were accep ted by the Convention. Mr. Edmonds, from the Committee on the Address and Resolutions, reported the following, which were adopted with enthu siasm : AD D R ESS Of tlio R e p u b lican Convention of Hew Y o r lt so the Electors of the State. be bought and sold like cattle in the market; thus converting the nurses ry of Freedom’s heroes and sages into the breeding sty of Slaves, and making the land whence once arose the inspiring-ery of “ give me liber ty- or give me death,1* now resound with1 thb lincensing wail of bon dage. Instead of six States having about GOOjObO'elaves, we have now fifteen, With about ScOOb^OO. Instead of seven States who have abolished slavery, we have added to the Union nine States with 1,579,- 965; slaves. And instead of six small States with a territory of 212-'683 square miles, to which, Ly the promise 1787, slavery ought now to be confined, we have added thereto liy negotia- ation with Spain”* b y conquest from Mexico, by spoil and treaty with Texas, by cession from other States, gmd by purchase from-the Indian, nine States with a territory of 649, fined- in the first instance to the bounds of the original thirteen States, it was by the Missouri Com promise extended for beyond those limits, arid now by the repeal of that Compromise the whole territory of the nation is claimed to be open ed to it. So too it was by legislation that Texas was admitted to the Union as a Sfttveholding State, and now, with her 60,6f)0 Slaves, adds her voice to the cry wliidh ascends to Heaveii from the land which once proclaim ed to man his inalienable right to hi!\ free. Not content, however, with the augmentation of the number of Sliwesg the increase of Slave terri tory,the possesion of political power, ana the interposition of the legisla tive authority, the Slaveholding in terest has o f late years resorted to violence fdf thh extension of its do main. Early in the history of our Qov- i eminent the idea was started in a 833 square miles. Such have been the aggressions I SlavehollTing State that if the Gerl- innr l i e in n m i l t : rv ftn v . Ol«o 1 ftAV’ n f m n a n f c I ia i i IJ The Republican Convention o f New York in presenting to the consideration of the people a new and dislinc*. organization, hitherto unknown among them, deem it proper to proclaim tliemotivea which have impelled th. m to this course. The question now most prominent before the\ American people, is that growing out of the t-xistetree o f Slavery, and it is one which, in its magnitude and.interest, swal lows up all others. It is not owing to us that it in now pre sented to the pe plo. It has been thrust upon us, against our most earnest desires, by the Pro-Slanery interest uud those who are enlisted in its cause or are desirous of profiting by its aid. It must be met by us. We have no oth er escape from it but submission— no refuge irom its supreme dmination but resis tance. Wo are therefore banded together to meet the question as frankly and as bold ly as it is presen:od to us, and are resolved to encounter its oxtremest hostility until we have secured the permanent establish ment ot the principles of Freedom involved* in it. The Slavery interest from the foundation of our government has been aggressive.— and so long as i 1.1 ssurroundud by freedom as largo and as wide spread as that which per vades our land, it must be aggressive. Ag gression is a necessity of its existence. It must advance or die. If it retreats or paus es in its onward course, its fate is sealed and it must perish. The past history of our government is therefore unhappily a history of the tri umphant and successful progress o f slavery among ns* Planted in our soil by the people, whose tyranic sway our fathers cast o ff in the revolution, it was at an early day a source of anxiety to those who proclaimed to the world the immortal truth, that all men arc endowed by nature with the inalien able right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and who pledged for its maintenance life, for tune and-saerfed honor.\ The sages who framed our Na tional Constitution were anxious to get rid ot an evil which was in such glaring conflict with the basis on which our independence had been achieved, but embarrassed by the difficulties which even tficn surroun ded the question they yielded to a compromise, the very basis of which was, the promise then held out to all the people that Slavery should not extend beyond the limits which then contained it. Seventy years have since rolled on,and behold how wretchedly that promise has been falsified ! Behold how sadly the expectation which then dwelt in every heart which beat for Freedom, has been disap pointed. The mtrnbcr o f human beings held in enduring bondage by the free people of America, has swelled up from about seven hundred thousand o f Slavery among us in point of tet ritory. felt its hopes o f its\ purpos es end1 not here. Already is Cen tral America, whose Constitutions prohibit Slavery, shrinking beneath the poisonous breath of pro-slavery immigration; already has Cuba been regarded with longing eyes by the Slavery Propagandist; and even now' the Territory o f Kansas is re sounding to the mailed tread of her Pro- Slavery invaders. Where and when is this advan cing tide to cease ? And what pow- on earth, except that will of the whole people which we now invoke, that can bid its swelling waters td be still ? But it is not in point of territory alone that its aggressions are appar ent. In its grasp at political power it has been equally untiring and ten acious, and equally successful. Out of sixty-eight years of pres idential terms, since the organia- tion of Government, forty have been rilled by avowedyipporters o f ! the Slaveholding interest, and eight only have been accorded to an ex ception from its contamination. Thus for sixty out of sixty-eight years, have the control of the army and navy, the question of peace and war, the direction of treaties, the appointment of every judicial and executive officer, and the whole power and influence of the Govern ment been subservient to the slave- holding interest. And to make that subserviency more complete and more effective, it has engrafted M)fcO'tfc« adimi,rtEtVa- tion of the Government the abom inable doctrine, that offices of honor and trust, created only for'the g’eii- eral welfare, may bo regarded as spoils, belonging to the victor, to be bestowed not as rewards of merit or according to fitness, but as a renu- meration for party services; as if the incumbent could be less tainted of office than if by the emoluments by a direct pecuniary bribe, as the power of self-government could be wielded only through the instru mentality o f corruption, and as if it was determined to proclaiin to ev ery aspirant for honor and distinc tion, that the only pathway to suc cess was through the favor o f the slavcholding interest. In legislation also its aggressions have been manifested. The United States Constitution provides that fugitives from justice and from service- shall be delivered up by the State into which they may have fled—the former on the demand ofthe Executive of the State from which authority they may have fled, and the latfe:*on the claim of the party to whom'tho service is due. Though it coulti hardly be imagined that any difference could the land; that our fellow-citizens of be made in the exercise of powers the South would pause in their in- otlicr, yet from eral Government should Be deeihcd to have exceeded its constitutional power, it was competent for an indi vidual State to refuse obedience its laws- Supported by a Presi- ddzit'fi'om the same State, that doc trine became an acknowledged prin ciple of the dominant political party of the Union. And only a few years have elapsed since we beheld the practical operation of the doc trine itr the nulification and pecces- sion movements of another Slave- holding S’ate: And now, day by day, wo be hold how sternly itis denied to even the freemen of the South to ques tion whether “ Slavery is a great g o o d !” Our own citizens visiting there are captured a*ul mobbed or driven from the Territory, if they venture ren to hint a doubt of its proprie ty. The rfiinister of the gospel who ventures to preach God’s freedo: are silenced. The schoolmaster who dares at tempt to instruct the blinded igno rance there surrounding him, and the bookseller wlio distributes a word for’ freedom1 are forcibly ex pelled. The citizens who associate in con vention with those who proclaim the great principles of freedom which we profess r-is driven from his family and his home; The editor who in the exercise ot the freedom of the press, discusses the matter ever so temperately, is beaten-with many stripes. F'ted men for assisting to break the fetters of the Slave are consign* cd'fdflong years to the gloom and thd suffering ofthc Penitentiary. In violation of the Constitution, which declares that for any speech or debate in either House of Con* gress, the Senators and Representa tives shall not be questioned in any other place, a Senator is crircly bea ten for words spoken in debate. And even in the land of Sumpter and o f Marion the perpetrator of the cowardly outrage is feasted and lauded,-and fed in triumphal pro cession by the whole people. And to crown all the citizens of the Free States for exercising the right o f removing to territory com mon to all, are hunted like beasts of prey from their houses; driven to fly by the fire of their own dwell ings, and are imprisoned and shot to death with a ruthless disregard to humanity and justice. These repeated aggressions have been borne by the free people o f our country for nearly three-quarters of a century, in the confident hope once strong but now weak—that the time would come when the cause of these evils would cease in so similar to each the earliest action of Cun a di t to nearly three millions and a half, the Executive, and whose presiding The pecuniary interest involved in ; Judge has for more than fiftv-fivc fcrence was demanded by and acce ded to* the slaveholding interest,and while the surrender ofthe fugitive from justice Was left entirely xTith the State atttlibritics, that of fog1*' tives from service was confered on the officers of the General Govern ment*.

And the second fugitive slave Jaw carried out the principle by prohibiting all State interference. It went farther and eencedcd still more to the Fro-Slavery interest, for it virtually denied to our citizens any appeal*to our own courts in de fence ot their freedom, and compell ed them to resort to 'tbe tribunals of the State to which transported, thus affording, us a practical illustration of the evil complained ot in 1776— that o f “ transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretenaed offences;55 and it crowned its concessions to that interest, by allowing to the judicial otticerd'of the United States -tor sen ding :a Yuan into Slavery, twice the compensation allowed for setting him free. 1 Slavery lives has been tripled even in America, and theembarassmonts and difficulties attending the eradi cation of the evil, have been in creased a thousand fold. Seven of the original States pro ceeded, in duo process ot time, to wipe the stain of bondage .from their garments and wheeled into the column of Freedom, untainted by any farther contact with the pollution of Slavery. But six of these States continued to wallow in the mire ot .their sad inheritance, so that at the end of three score years and ten, the number whom they cn: slave is larger by 1,000,000 than it was in tlip oeginmg. And one of them who once sunt fp'rth the chil dren of her sbil to lead our arpjfes. and to guide btu* ' councilsiu' our. struggle for Freedorh, now sends them forth bv hundreds as Slaves to pause vasion alike of onr feelings and oi\r rights; and that peace and harmo ny would abide with us all. But how vain and illusory is the hope! Day by day there comes up to us from the tar distant borders o f our land the sound of civil war, engen dered in behalf of Slavery, in the halls of Congress is uttered the threat o f our subjugation by this interest, of eternal aggression. An administration, inaugurated on the promise of repose, takes the lead even m agitation, Others are grasping for power by vieing with each other which can descend the deepest in to the degradation of fofr tvring and upholding the Pro-Slave ry interest, with all its accumula ted evils both to the Master and Slave. And over and over again is the Disolution o f the Union threat* ened by those who have dune so much to dissolve the bonds of har mony and fraternal regard among us, without which union is endam gered. Against all accumulated these ills—against these oft-repeated ag^ gressio:.s— rgainst these evils of the present and the prospect of more in the future, what is onr pro tection but to meet fairly and map* fully the question now thrust upon u s ? W e repeat, it has not been presvnteo at our instigation. By legislation also f Li Slavery lias been the area ot enlarged. Oun- no v It has iiot been by our procurement that it is now agitating the hearts of our people, to their deepest depths. It is lofced upon us by circumstances beyo id ouh control.
