Excerpt from Address and Proceedings of the Democratic State Convention: Held at Rome, August, 1849 These resolutions, which embody our posi tion, modified to the farthest point of conces sion to meet the assumptions of the other convention, and intended to concede all that could be conceded with honor, or with a due regard to the stability, the integrity, nay, the existence of a National Democratic Party, were, as all previous propositions had been, distinctly declined by the other convention as a basis of union. Their original declara tion was unequivocally reaffirmed, with the conclusive assurance that it never would be abandoned; and their previous declaration in relation to tests upon the subject of slavery was referred to and reasserted.
