Allen clies @ resolution adopted at a meeting of the national commitiee of lib- erals heid here last May, at which time the call for the convention was issued, which says: “That if, after the republican and the democratic conventions haye been held in June next, one or both of these parties shall seem, in the jadgmentofour chairman, Mr. Ethan Alien, to have responded to the principles and aims of the liberal republican organization, both in measures and men, in that event our chairman is hereby authorized, after the conference with the committee, by proclamation to annul the call for a national conveation this day ordered, but after said conventions and their action being unfavorable to referm, our chairman is empowered to take sach action in furthering the cali fora liberal conven- tion Uhis day ordered as he may deem neces- nog Mr. Allen then says the republican @ud the democratic conventions have both been held, and as commanded in the above resolution, [have since conferred by corres - —= with the members of the bational iberal committee, and the res; whieh isinentire harmony with my own views is almost unanimous to annal ihe cali for the liberal rational convention above referred to, and to approve in the name of the libera) republicans of the U.

Hayes for the same rea- Sons, and to do otherwise would be incon- sistent action. The opposition of the liberals bas never been against the republican party, of which they formed a » but rather against those who, unfortunately for the na- tion, bave bad control of its destiny to its divcredit.” He reviews the course of the liberals, and concludes by annuiling the call for a national convention at Pulladelphia, ate FOREIGN NEWS.
