s.The friends Of the Democratic cause in the South,
may rely upon it, that New York will do her duty IN the
coming struggle The principles OF Democracy are too
dear 10 her 10 be abandoned in crisis like the pre-
sent Never was there warmer enthusiasm, or tlrner
determination to triumph. The motto, "the Empire
State must b. redeemed, has found echo in thou
sands 81! warm and willing hearts. During the sum-
mer whsle the Wings have been INDUCING themselves
in political carousas, and IN attempting to carry out
their avorltc plan Of ''soopng to conquer, have IN
suited the intelligence OF the people by log CABIN coon
skin and hard CIDER arguments, the Democrats have
been comparatively quiet. But since the first of Sep
their energies have been awakened with more than an
Gent strength ana there nothing that can observe
in the way of Il most decided and glorious Democratic
triumph They harmonizcd and consolidated
There are internal dssenslons among them, no n.
vary but the honorable rivalry OF surprising each other
IN Their services for the good cause.
ssThc news from Maine, far from dispIrItng them,
has aroused them to the sense OF necessity Of double
efforts Ii has also confirmed them, 1t must con
firm the Democracy of the South in the conviction that
modern Whggery and AbolitonISm one and the
same. Proolhas already been piled proof to prove
this fact but proofs daily TO add oand strengthen
IT. Here AboitonIst who is a Democrat IS an
almost unknown animal, while almost every Abolition

enemies TO the South, and they look TO his cicction
with hope that through his countcnancc, they will

"Will the Democracy of the South stand by their brc
thrrn of the North, who have cXcrtcd every effort IN
their power put down these assaants of the domestic
institutions Of the saychodng States, 1T cannot Tor
moment lac doubted. The warm-hcari't sons oi the
South are too generous as well too chvaIrouS 10
abandon those who have entered with them III defence
Of their institutions To them we look with eager hopes,
and umdnubtng confidence. They may rely upon as,
for their rirhts are rs dear our own. Our most

are connected with Southern men, and Southern mca-
strcs We know no local sectional distinctions, ana
there i no par, al Mr. Van Buren, policy warmly
admired or more firmly supported than the noble stand
he has taken IN defence of the rights of the South
You have before this seen the petition to the Wing
Legislature Of last winter praying that universal sui
rage may be extended 10 include the votes OF
negroes If there Democratic maine attached 10

State printer is not often found in Democratic conpa-
nv This the last strong Wing effort IN tins State,
TO concate the AbolitIonsts, and IL but justice to
add that it has been attended with complete success
Il was publication of the banns OF nlarInony between
the two parties. The marriage has been soemnzed
and consumnatrd. The two parties are bone OF bon"
and flesh of flesh The South viii ere long have look
at the offspring that vii come from the union
The calm, drspassonatc, argnmrnntIve speech
Of Mr. Wright at the Exchange on Friday last has
was very large and though the rain poured IN torrents,
The assembled multitude stood firm until the Orators
had closed. II is but justice to add that many wing
merchants WEI present, and have every reason 10
believe that the quiet, but irresistible force OF Mt
Wrrhts remarks made Impression upon them OF
the most favorable character for cause Indeed the
loud voiced anathemas against the independent lrea.
snrv schrmethc threats OF force and violence, should
il be carried INTO effect, now You scarcely
see it denounced IN the most rahd wing Jour
nails while in private intercourse many o. the mos, de-
Itermned Wings confess, that they nothing IN 1t
particularly objectionable. Could the Wings feel sa-
t,sied that their hankcrngs after National Bank can
be .ratiiied, large majority of them would De

| the Democratic from the ranks If Wing mer-
chants are, far numerous than we had reason 10
expect. The retired capitalist the active merchant,
the mechanic, daily becoming convinced that Ger
tan,y in the receipt Of profits and wages, IS far more
desirable than constant fluctuations OF prices, winch
render all pursuits in life sort of lottery, giving wealth
to the few in instant, and in an instant snatching
from the mass the means of living.
81 repeat, that every thing looks well for the good

ncrous and chtvalrous Democracy of the South, Wi
surely stand BY the Democracy of the North, winch
has proved and will prove itself true to them
