Immediately behind the President was the ban of the Young Men’s Democratic National Club, and banner of the Northern Eagle Club.

Those are the prin- which. in my judgment, are the best calculated to y all sectional feelings, and at the same time, the liy ones on which our Union may safely rest; the only ples by which harmony may be sesured; and the Ay ones which shall carry the ship of State safely 0 4 storms and perils which may hereafter sur- ir.

Mr. Haskins then read the follow- address, being frequently interrupted by demonstra- of applause :-— OQ THR DEMOCRACY OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. f peratalation, “We shall do so, we trust, with mode betion, but with q direct and manly Armness, uct ua worthy of the alacrity and intrepidity with which have sustained eae and contributed to the sub- stantial results of the cam) When on » former oosasion, before the lection, we ap to you, urgent considerations pom mepedanng actions of ealightened and patriotic men, we did so with # full appreciation of all that you would be called to encounter, and the great and generous labor you would be expected to form. You the field with what to minds less determined than your own would have been tana discouragements. You had suffered for four years from the depression and political demovalization of an unnatural coalition, disguised under the deceptive but alluring phrase of ‘union and har mony”? Prominent politicians, heretofore acting with the national democratic party of the State, quitting their former associations for ambitious or selfish purposes, seeking the al iauce of the free soil faction, and ai ming to carry with them into its ranks all within the reach of their influence or the allurements of their official positions, had not been altogether unsuccessful. The in- solence, the insizcerity, the unscrupulous desire of domi- nion, and the resort to violence and outraze to obtain is, on the part of the free soil leaders and their alliee, had rendered separation as unavoidable as it was desirable; and you had boldly. not rashly, severed the chain which bound us to the methean roek. All were not prepared for the act. It was mot under-tood by some, and was misrepresented by others. By the free soil demagogues aad the minions of power, the veparation of ihe true national democratic majority, from its al tion counterfeit minority, was denounced as ‘“‘bolting,’’ and threatened with punishment as rebellion. The timid and time serving hesitated, ‘and the interested even among thove whose sympathies were in our direction, seckin, office in the localities, were content to bear servitude if they could win the +poils.

An eminent and capable demoorat, whose puity of life and consistency of public course stood proudly in con'rast with the free soil factionists, ‘was proscribed, hunted down, and removed wich s sum: mary insolence, which has no parallelin our political his- tory. The power of the Custom-house, with all its means of annoyance and intimidation, was sige out with the utmost hostility. Every man within the scope of its vepgeance was threatened, and all who hung in expec taney upon ita favors were promised. Vast sums of money were raised by conscription upon official retainers, and by the hope of ulterior rewards. The army of post- Teastixs and plscenien ofall grades were urged or threat ened, and in many iostances quickened to unusual efforts to sustain free soiliam, or paralyzed in their repugaance toit. Members of Congress, professing # national feeling until the appliance ef (eeregrer reward or favor came m and their eT to their past opinions and took the field as active instraments of wer hington, and venality 7. Anything less than entire servility was stigmatized ay “insubordiaa tion,’ and the old national faith as th of ‘“irregu- larity.” The abject doctrine of passive obedience, which our fathers resisted, and which great and free nation have exploded both in faith and practice, was never more openly avowed by authority, or enforced by dee potism. all departments of the State gang throughout all our great channels of internal commerce, every independent national democrat who refused to sus- cumb to this odious tyranny was instantly thrust from office, at whatever sacrifice to the public interests, and the subservient agents of @ brief autherity posted along our thoroughfares to render menial service and to secure votes in this great contest between power and principle. ‘A body of patriotic men, entering such a contest under such circumstances, with little preparation, without or- ganization, with restricted means, and relying solely ‘upon their principles and the honest impulses of the people— with such combinations arrayed against them, with all the accessories of wealth, official position, travelling emus- saries, itinerant orators, belching personal calumnies and ready alike to instigate violence or to practice impos- ture, snd stimulated by government encouragement and’ patronage—would have regarded « result tar less favorable as @ substantial vistory. The Cabinet at Washington, and its subsidised press there, echoing the groundless and impudent assertions of thi free soil orators and presses here, affecied a3 mush to deride our weakness as to denounce our position. They said we should not present s show of strength, and they kindly awarded us, in the majesty of their presump- tion, overwhelming defeat and political annihilation. But whrn these interested and vaunting predictions are all overthrown and reversed by the actual result—when, un- der such adverse circumstances, we show not only more votes than the free soil faction and its combined deserters from the national party, but giatifying results ia most of the details, and in nearly every direction—how great is the real triumph, how potent the moral v ctory for the present moment, and how cheering for the future | Permit us to recall some of the fruits of this great vic- George W.

To the Assembly, the national democrats elect a decided majori ty over. the cvslition, In five ¢f the senate districts, where the “united democracy,” so called, presente their nominations, the democratic candidates were de- feated and whigs elected, by the defection of the free soil leadera; and in each of them, (and particularly the Columbia and Dutchess district, ‘aad the Westchester and Rockland district,) with such an open exbibition of th instincts, that they substituted the name of the whig can. didate upon their printed ballots! It wili be recollected, that in the State Convention, of September last, the democratic delogates felt it their duty to separate from a faction, which aimed to seize the con- trol of that body, by the aid of spurious conte-ted seats and the introduction of a band of mercenary rowdies, who were employed there, as they had been in the city of New York and in New Scotland in the county of Albany, to ef» fect by violence what they had not secured and could not carry by the democratic voices in the districts. A desided majority of the national democratic delegates had been elected to that conveotion—and their predominance there could only be frustrated by @ resort to spurioas contested seats, the element of force, or the seductive appealsof high officials in the State and pational governments, who, for the first time in the history of our politics,entered such an arena to veto and overcome the honest voice of the democratic localities. That our positions were undeniable, and our courre unavoidab'e, and sanctioned by all high considera tions of duty to the national democratic cause and to our own self-respect, we appeal to the results in as sembly districts, in ihe recent contest In the state convention, the city of New York was re resented, or ought to have been, by sixteen delegates. Tammany Hall, desecrated by violence and dishonored by political restitution, sent its sixteen calegates, claiming rega- Emty under the egis of that once honored, but now and forever degraded name, bached by an auxiliary armed force. The returns of this election show a national de- mocratic majerity in eleven ef the sixteen dis:ricts, nine of them by votes ranging from two to four to one over the free soil and coalition candidates; and the remaining five districts showing for the latter, with a single exception, less than a majority of one hundied votes, And the great city, through all periods the stronghold of sound constitutional yrinciples, evinced its unabated attachment to the national cause, by an aggregate majority for the national democratic candidate for Secretary of State of nea-ly seven thou- sand votes, and upwards of three thousand over the whig cundidate. ‘Not the least gratifying of the results in this locality was the triumphant elestion to the Senate, over his free soil and whig competitors, of Tuomas J. Bare, Chairman of the regular Democratic General Committee, which, driven by violence and outrage from Tammany Ha)l, assertedelsewhere their just claim te be regarded as the representatives of the national democracy of the city~.a claim now confirmed by the ballot pox and en- dorsed by the people. And to this expression we may acd the emphatic results in the Fifteenth and Seventeenth wards, From the former, Jobn Van Buren appeared at Syracuse as its pretended representative, now as on former occasions, and it bas evinced its appreciation of that uafounced pretension by a vote of more than three to one for the national over the free soil ticket : in the latter, Mr, Gochrane, Sarveyor of the Port, who professed to speak *‘by authority” in the convention, is pronounced a spurious delegate by s vete of more than two to one. In the city and county of Albany, entitled to four delegates, whence the coalition also presented their contestants, the national democra iow large majorities in three of the in the eount; of Columbia, from ‘ates claimed seata—one of them overnment postmaster at Hudson— tic majority exceeds four hundred The Batavia district in Geneses the residence of Mr. Redfield, the present Collector of the port of New York, repudiated the unfounded elaim of the free soiland coalition delegate to a reatin the convention, by a vote of nearly three to one for the national ticket. The re- turns show similar results im the counties of Orleans and Cattaraugus, and in the cities of Rochester and Toy. To these we might add other connties aud dis tricts, indicating similar results, and all tendivg to show, to the conviction of any unprejadiced miad, thata delibe- rate and unauthorized claim to seats in the State Conven- tion was a part of the machinery by which the free soil leaders agught to neutralise and overcome the rightful numerical superiority of the nations! democrats, in de- fiance of the popular expression, and in derogation of the will of the democratic localities. One of the causes which led to the settled oonvistion on the part of the national democracy of the State, It professions of ‘union and harmony” by the free soil - ers were hollow and insincere, and were only the device by which they sought to erase the recollection of the re- volt of 1848, to enable them to re-enter the demo cratic party, with unchanged views and aims, and to rule and domineer over ite consistentand faithful adherents, was the nefarious attempt, by unjust accusation and a mischievous, malevo ent harrassing impeach myrnt, to prostrate and Sg 4 &@ capable democratic State officer, whone intrepid fidelity to the rational cause steod be tween them and thelr ulterior designs. The verdict cl he democracy upon quest is one most si cant of ‘the resulta of this contest. Mr. Mather leads his free soil and abolition competitor several thousands in the ite vote; and in the county of his official resideace, in his own county. and even in the resident county of his itor, his vo'e is largely in the ascendant. So true it & that vindictive personal assault rarely fails to return ‘and’ plague those who resort to it, and to honor the in- tended victim. No man ean doubt where these facts place the national democracy of the State. The actual majority the returns exhibit, only faintly demonstrate ir real strength. ‘The great body of the democracy maintain now the atti- tude of their heroic devotion to the national nominees in 1848.
