This day will long be remembered
IN the annals of our history, as one Of
he proudest and brightest eras Of the
Democracy of Eastern New York.
The people have assembled in their
night, anG Ihe fat has gone forth that
New York must be redeemed, and
hurst asunder the bonds Of whig H,is-
rnle, with which the people of the sIate
Have been manaclsd for the lasl'twelve
months, and that the Empire City, Of
the empire State, shall be once again
restored 10 her legitimate place among
her sister counties.
At daylight this morning banners
we're dlsplaynd across the streets of the
village. on The mostof which were in
.cribed the grand raIlying cry Of "New
York must be redeemed = About z
O'Clock vehicles Of every description,
freigaled with the hardy yeomanry and
unRmching democracy, came pouring
INTO The village from every avenue, who,
from their gladsome countenaDce es, gave
evidence that this day would indeed be
holyday among the Democracy oftbe
counties bordering The mighty Hndson.
There was The old grandsire, whose
hair was whi,ened by the frost Of many
wintsts. who could tell you OF the sirng
gIes for freedom in the days that stirred
mon's souls;' there was the man Of ma
.lure years, who was an actorin the sec

too, was he who had joei arriyed.to the
period Of manhood, burning with the rec
objection Of the deeds ofhis forefalbers
in the sacred cause Of Democratic Lbs
eriy, fully resolved 10 emulate them 10
their exertions TO preserve inviola,e the

they had established with so much sae-
rifice and toll. X

Mr.. VAN BUREN, AND THE
LATE WAR

In 1882 on the occasion ofthe nota =
BILE rejection Of Van Buren by the
Wing Senate. as Minister to Eng
land, the democratic members of the
New York Legislature addressed q
letter to Genergl Jackson. Mr. Tall
madge wrote that letter and with 9th
ers, signed it. Speaking of Mr. Van
Buren,, he says:
"Our citizens have given repeated evi-
dences oftheir confidence in him. With
the waichfulness becoming free peo-
pie they had regarded his conducl, in
the various stations Of the State. They
had witnessed bis attachment under ALL
circumstances TO the principles of the
Democracy ofthe country, and they mad
recently eyinceo the extent Of their con,
fideDce by elevatinR him 10 the highest
office within their gIft.'
IN attempting 10 stigmatize Mr. Van
Burer, therefore. az an opponent OF
the War, the Wings are doing him
the greatest injustice. and that TOO, in
ihevery teeth Of one ofthe leaders Of
their own party. whose evidence
must be shown to be bassly false, be-
fore The unp'incipled charge can be
made 10 have any weight. 10 this d.
lemra we leave them, aud now sub

Washington, Sep. l4th 1910.
Gentlemen: | have received your
letter propounding to me several ques-
,ions upon public subjects, and assuring
ne that lhay are moi put for The purpose
Of unfriendly criticism, but from sim
cere desi, 9 10 have my owGFiews on the
subjects referred to.
10 reply to your first end 'sst ques-
tlons, ! send you copy ofa letter re-
Gently addressed to several citizens Of
Elizabeth City County, Va. in which
you will find the infOr nation you desire.
In answer to your second question |
send you statement Of my entire course
in the New York Convention upon the
subject Of the elective franchise. II
was prepared BY my friends at Albany,
having access to the best means of in
formation, Of their own accord without
previous communication with me, and
published there under, their own sigma
tures.-Upon careful examination OF
this document, find it contains true
and fair exposition of my course in the
Convention upon the subject referred, to
and ] send it 10 you as such.
Your remaining question is whether
| "am in favor Of reducing the standard
Of wages"
Not comprehending precisely the
idea YOU desire to convey by the term
"he standard of wages,"i, will be nec-
essary, in order TO meet your wishes
fully, that ! should give my general
views on this branch Of your enquiry.
The labor Of an industrious man is in
my judgment only adequately rewarded
when his wages, together with the as.
sisiaDce of those members ofhis family,
from whom assistance may reasonably
be required, win enable HIM to provide
comfortably for himself and them, to cd
ucate his children, aud lay up sufficient
for The casualties Of life and The wants OF
advanced oge.
10 accomplish these objects il is nee
essary that the pay of the laborer
should bear a just proportion to the pri-
tces of the necessaries aud comforts OF
life;and and all attempts TO depress them
below this equitable standard; are in my
opinion at war as we'll with the dictates
Of humanity, 40 With a sound and ration

The natural order OfsOciety is disturbed
by Que or olbsr Of these causes, that the
wages oflabor become inadequate.
The people Of the U. States may be

"A vast proportion Of them live by the

exercise ofa preserving industry. Il

THE disconiinuance Of partial legislation,

1t has been ever my design to keep

far from being in favor Of reducing the
wages oflabor, or attempting TO render
the services required dispropor,onate

Friend Mcdary-
The Convention of the Democracy
al Ere on the 10Th was the largest as
semblsge Of freemen that ever conven-
ed IN North Western Pennsylvania for
any purpose. Not less than fifteen
thousand could have been present; and
The right good feeling and enthusiasm
which prevailed, gave Indubliable evl.
dence of signal victory in October,
The sIlvevv-haired veterans who be.
held our flag borne in triumph through
two wars, and who aided in establish
,ng.that Independence which Is now our
boast, we're there, standing like beacon
lights to guide the footsteps of a rising
generation of democrats. And those
who are now taking their places on the
political stage, we're there in their youth
and vigor, fred with the patriotism Of
their fathers, and resolved 10 transmit
to posterity uGta. nshed by the foul breath tof
British whiggery, that liberty which
waU purchased with oceans Of blood.
Every road and avenue TO Erie brought
in large numbers Of the homes, We oman

country, whether invaded by fereign
or domestic foe. The farmer left his
plough in the furrow-th mechanic

tacle as would gladden. the heart Of frees
men, and a monarch might look on and
tremble. 1t was emphaticalIy ''an ar

the imagination Of federal bankers, and
makes them tremble in theirI marble
palaces. While Martin Van Buren,
has myriads Of those who form the bull
wark Of The country to defend bin, and
stand by our cherished principles, he
has nothing to fear from starChed and
furbelOwed pOPipjaws' who wish TO ride
rough shod over the community, on
their horse called "exclusive privilege"
The right spirit now aDmates every
breast, anh be assured that the vote Of
Mr.. Van Buren, will be vastly increa-
sed in this section from 1886. The
British wings commenced the miserable
humbuggery o little too soon. and their

simplicity and clearness are such that
