s.r We find the following call for another Con-
seryalive State Convention in the Albany Ereaing
Journal, and recommend II 10 the attention Of our.
readers:
TO Me Conservative Democrats of the county of Temp
kias and Of the ~reraI counties in The State of Nero
York:
/ The undersigned having lately had an interview
with large number OF their political friends, not
only OF the county Of Tompkins, but also with
raj from many OF the counties in various parts OF
the STATE take pleasure In saying, that they re-
cprocale the most ample assurances that the prnci-
Piles commended for under The late successful admins
iraIion OF General Jackson, and opposition to the
misrue oil The present administration will be ardent
iy and u IS believed successfully, urged during the
coming political campaign in the county Of Temp
| kins.
The recent eventful crisis In the affairs of the
American people, although met for the time being
| with commendable patriotism by the Conservatives,
has not vel terminated and passing events admonish
us that every freeman should commune deeply with
his own conscience, and exercise his own judgment
IN the discharge Of his political duty 10 himself his
In this our mutual graduation on The past, and
pledge for the future is unnecessary to enter into
| minute account OF the causes which have separa-
ted US from those with whom we SO lately acted
The line dividing the old Jackson party, separates
men who hold that consistent adherence TO princi-
| pie In carrying out democratic measures for the
good OF the whole people, Is paramount to all duties
save the defence Of the national honor and interest
| In seasons OF peril and invasion, from those who
blinded by interest iettered by party discipline
dare not think for themselves but with servile and
dangerous allegiance submit to the dicta Of party
leaders, In 1884, when the Sub-treasury scheme
was introduced, and vote taken upon It's merits,
the Globe, then the organ Of Gen. Jackson denounc
ed Il as dangerous disorganizng, and revolutionary.
Al that time, only thirtytwo votes could be obtained
| for the measure in the House of Representatives
l Of Is rec nv
Van Buren, TO Congress AT the extra session, and
even long after that event, public disapprobatlon
was too manifest and universal to leave doubt that
at least four 6tths Of the administration party
indignant at the proposition.
We we're then opposed to the scheme, nor has the
fact Of lis being repeatedly urged and repeatedly
rejected BY Congress with a majority friendly in
other respects 10 the Executive induced no change
in our opinion. On the contrary, we have seen that
the effects OF its partial operation-haza ded on the
responsibility Of the President alone-have been i'm
mense losses OF the peoples money, convulsion OF
the commercial interests Of the country, paralysis Of
the energies Of nation of freemen, ruin of indivi
duals, communities and states and the removal Of
men who stood and yet stand high in the affections
Of the people, for their tried and proven democracy
to give place and power TO ederaists and nuifers,
Who with the peoples money at their control though
republican in name would be an aristocracy not in
eror In corruption and power TO those of countries
where sefgovernment is unknown to the people
| Yet notwithstanding that greater amount OF
evil now exists, resulting from recommending and
forcing the measure into partial use, than was pre-
dicted by the late administration with prospective
view OF its full operation and notwithstanding mat
public indignation has been powerfully exhibited IN
the reduction Of the large majority by which the
President elected to his high and honorable Of
hce TO minority, thus destroying all probability Of
his being able obtain the sanction Of the next Con-
gress (whose term will expire with his own to his
ultra federal measure; and Notwithstanding that the
people, who little more than two years ago General
Jackson declared prosperous and happy have since,
under the administration Of Mr.. Van Buren,, been
shaken and conyulSed from centre circumference,
we see him raversing the country, urging at every
opportunity the consideration of this loathsome
scheme, proclaiming, with characteristic reckless
ness, that there is yielding Of differences Of OPT
Mon 10 a better and more favorable understanding
Of the subject" and prophecying that the time is
not distant when IL will receive the cordial support
| of all disinteresied persons"
In denying this electioneering assertion, we admit
that few, who are by no means disipte rested
have given the measure their reluctant assent, but
these are not among the intelligent yeomanry of the
country. There are instances where public journals
have been subsidized 10 the of the executive,
! and as prominent one would name the Rich
mond Enquirer paper once high in the estimation
OF The democracy, and long adverse to the Subtrea
sury conspiracy, but which at last gave way to exc
cuve influence and with the cry OF the party the
the party u IS sink or swim ~ or in other words
right or wrong; yielding up its formerly independent
| pages to the absolute will Of the Northern man
with Southern principles" This press, as last
resort IS now made the packhorse OF the party, and
its veteran editor whose dotage and easy virtue seem
contemporary il would Low appear, had been paid
his price, and was working for value received His
paper Is in fact the smut machine of the party through
| which the crude and extrayagant productions OF
| the government" at Washington are first rum In
| order to give them credit and consideration when
| quoted in the Globe and other reckless prints OBJ
noxious 10 the public taste
| We will ever yield obedience to the deliberate
decision of the people, which, like "the second
sober thought, is always efficient and never wrong"
| though we should be in the minority but when we
see the chief magistrate, who has as yet failed 10
carry into effect one measure characteristic OF his
principles or course Of policy roaming through the
country, making assumed statements for political
| purposes, to his democratic fellow citizens"
d.em 1t duty while we enjoy the privilege, to
| arouse from passive Indifference, and with the
| strong acquisition to force, obtained since our
last election to meet the question at the ballot boxes
in November next, when the third sober thought"
| of the people will decide the whole matter in the
empire State She will then be rid of remnant of
the long pensioned aristocracy at Albany, and have
instead Of none, legitimate representative in the
| United States Senate.
| We therefore earnestly recommend to our friends
throughout the State, that early and efficient
| ganiza,ion be obtained in each and every county,
preparatory 10 holding State Convention at Auburn
| or Syracuse, as early as September next.
