On motion of Hon. M. C. Tyler,. the
'Chairman appoint, d a Committee to re
port Resolutions, '.oz lion. M. C. Tyler,
B;iniel Brewster, G. M. Denison,
Gilbert and-S. D.-Tnrrell.
Daring the absence of the ConiMittee,
J. B. McCollurii responded to a
few remarks vindicating his association
with the so-called "Union League._" .
R. 13. Little. Esq., being then caned up-
on, made a most, _eloquent defence of the
'piinciplcs of the Democratic partyi—prov-
ed that it was the ONLY real Union, party
of the country,—and that its mission was
alike to save. the Union from the perils of
disunion, and from the yet more alarming;
perils of a prostrated Constitution. He
hurled back upon its enemies,'w•ithindig
nant defiance,- the epithet of " traitor;"
and‘throngliont; his clear and' logical re
marks- were listened to with marked at-
tentiop. -
The. Committee then ireß:lrted the fol
lowing Resolutions, thigh were unani
mously adopted :
' •
Whereas ' The leaders of.the reppblican
party in X. Y. and elsewhere, alarmed at
the repent electiotis in several of the states,
fearing that their occupation is in danger,
have organized what they speciously term
"Union Leagues;" whose orators de.
nounce the Demooratk. r at-ty traitors;
and whose object' is to i nitiate The politi
cal Campaign of 1864, undei• a Taise name ;
and whereas, we . hurl back all such (letup-
. ciations, and still stand the great and only
Cciuservative,'Canstitutional pat ty of the
- country, w s hose history and- - ch,iracter for
70 years of rule and prosperity, is a - guar,
anti•, of its future,..--Therefore— :
Resolued, That we advise our Demo
cratic friends to stand aloof from all such
combinations, `planting themseiVeg' on the
'rock of the Constitution and Government,
as founded by,our Fathers. ' .
Resolved, That we will continue- to the
Government our sincere and hearty sup
port in the i - ise-of all legitimate' means to
suppress the rebellion, and to restore our
t,
crlorions-I.7nion " as it was."
On notion; Hon. M. C. Tyler was then
appointed Senatorial Delegate, (subject to
decision of COnferees;) and Gen. JOIR
Blanding - Representative Delegate to the
State Convention- '

tficke. Four citizens `were kidnapped on
T*sd ay in the city of Reading, and taken

are "Knights of the. Golden Circle." It
is not said that they 'were in arms, against

IMENI=III
qoptec.ticut Election
The abolitionists, have carried -the state
by about , 2 1 .500. LaSt t yearthe - majority
for Buckingham (dbo.) was 9,000. Sobstan-
Ftiall,y the peOple ,Of. Connecticut Were a
unit Then on the . ,prosec..ution' orehe war.
What is . • the position now? One !half the
1 voters have solemnly 4clared at the bal
lot. box, their Wilringness rather to go. n
gam s't the Varth an to!Sustaiti it under the
present Policy. It is trot 'of - so much im
portance whether that:declaration is Made
by a, few hundred less or a Or hundred
more than Half the population. Tflere
is the fad. Calling them traitors, or cop
perheads, or_ any other names 11,;ehildish
- fancy may devise, will not ., mend fthe mat
ter or conceal the &nth, and the'dietate
of wisdom is to s ch ;neanSf reunitingthe people instead dwideniue the breach.
The great o :the Democracy in Con
neeticut, ,the,, fact that the election seems
to have been carried, only by -:.)oldiers'
votes, selected and sent home specially,
while, others were: not allowed to come;
the immense

aud the gi'eat . exertiOns.made to save.the
ticket—all these aro less important sub
jects- of comment than the notable fact
that the people of, a New Ems4and State

A Verdalit Ttarar
. A geed note from Harrisburg has come i
to our ears that Intuit not •be .lost. In a
certain - county far removed froth - the C-ip- I

member
,of it,, .became 'nervous lest the
legislature, should negleot to legalize the

Arrjvcd :it, the scene of conflict, he took: I

that the. ifibj ea. was . .canshig . no - excite- i

arousing - the attention off' the assembled

Solon in general, or of .11ii' Senator or I
Member in particular.; whereupon he
an
nounced thht his. visit: was caused. Mainly
and particularly by a desire to look after.
the bounty, and he further stated that be'
didn't see why so..much attention was'
paid to i.‘utidry : other. pending ~ questions ; 1
instead of just taking tip this bill and.

passing,. it at once, without waiting . the

this ma t y . be, we have little personal infer
mation-:--absence- preventing us from a.
certain knonle l dge of fact:: the case.•
We'can only state it as our belief that at ,
least three Of them voted against GroW"
last October. The abolitionists are now
using their nines 011.611011 the county,and •
trying to' trap unwary Demoerats. into
•their snare under the pretext that it . is
" no-party " affair, Let as not be
thus cheated. This "union League *is a
regular abolition party orianizaiion, and,
ot
nhing else, has within it a secret : gang
of conspirators whom:m:l2e affairs. To •
join it is-to become..a member of the abo
lition party ; and new converts will. soon
-acquiesce in, and presently endorse, „and
liniully pfonthlgattl the dogmas ofGreeley,
Wend-ell Phillips i&e., who long ago de
nounced the &Institution. of the Poite,d
States as " a covenant with death and a
league with . and - our flag .as . a
flaunting lie." 'The silly dodge of for -
ing. &r-party movetneat is an old artifice
of the•fanatics that cannot cheat many
honest inen,' - unless their perceptive, facul
ties »re very dull. The old -
g ame is p 413 - :.
&Vont. That promises of office, 'Patron

influence or ambition to enter the league;
'awl that . threats -of personal dang,Ofare al
so held over the heads of

ly told that if one would in'osper in' his

Another Abolition Outrage.

from Serrice,without trial, because he (Jill
ioted the Democratic ticket at the

made that the officer circulated "copper

ministration descend ? .

The Territory of Idaho.
Congress has passed . a bill to - create a
new territory oat of Eastern 'Oregon and
western Dacota, under the-muneof Idaho,
which'is Indian for Gem of the Meuntalus.
It extends front the - eastern boundary of
Oregon 27tIr meridian of longitude
and from the 42d. to the- 460
,parallel _of
'latitude; covering altindred and twenty-•
five thousand square miles. The wh o le
breadth of the Rocky Monntains and all
the lead-waters of the • great rivers are,
included. in. it. In the plains west of the
mountains are , the gold Alines ,ef :Salmon
river, and others more or. less . important.
but - said to . generally productive
throughout the whole territory. • A town
is _established inthe centre of. the_ gold._
dislriet with the-Indian name ofßannotik,
which has.a populatiiouk of about a, thou--
sand, and receives a effitstant accession of
immigrants. The great rive& which drain
the territory iWeveryYpart are navigable
by steamers, give direct communication
with St. .Louis. A railroad is expected
,to be. built along. \the valley of the Platte
