TBE PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONVENTION. SECOND DAY. Siracusm, August 8, 1860. ‘The Convention was called together at balf-past aine o’clook. Mr. Lamems, of Westzhester, agreeably with instruc- téons of his constituensy, read the compromise resolu- tion adopted in his district. He desired to say that this ‘wes the labor of love to him. He was a Breckinridge yuan, dut it must be remembered that this was a reform movement in a great party, not a revolution. They Ghould do all im their power to attract to them the re- wpainder of the party. At present this movement was ‘weak. It must strengthen iteclf by adding to its ranks from the democrats who have been misled hitherto by ‘vad leadership. They would rather have one democrat with them than a dozen black repablicans. They can nly do #0 by conciliation. If the candidates of the ational democracy expect success they must look for it by union in the Northern States, ‘The whole Southern electoral vote, if cast for ‘those candidates, will not elect them. He had reason to believe that the other parties would meet the Convention ‘balf way if the door was left open for negotiations. He knew conciliation was desired by the ether side, Whether they would make overtures first he could not say, bat this Cenvention, being right, could afford to make the first advances. He believed that mon in this Convention are for principle rather than office, and he believed that he might say, without Sear of contradiction, that those on the other side might be conciliated with office. He believed union in their State would strengthen the hands of their friends in Pennay!. vaniea and New Jersey, and would lead to the triumph of their candidates; at all events, it would defeat the black republican ticket, and as this movement was to reform ‘and not destroy the democratic party, such a result was very desirable. He cautioned gentlemen not to treat the subject lightly, for whatever the leaders might say, the people would hold the Convention responsible in their ac- tion on the subject. He moved the following resolu. tion — Resolved, That a committee of ——- be appointed by thic Convention, to confer with any committee or commitiees: inted by any other convention or conventions, for the purpose of uniting upon ene electoral ‘ticket im opposition to the re- dlicane nominees, and that the en'd committee Tula sf repos of tho = peer be hed inthe eleotoral an state ete, to be mutually supported at the coming election.
