throw in that State. Az the November
election Of that year he was swept away
as by a hurricane. Al. the next session
OF Congress he apologized to his friends,
By saving tha, there were 10000 voters
who did no, come TO the polls, but would
be out for him at the next election. Well
sir, in 1888 these 40, 900 came out, and
IS, 900 in addition, and he was beaten by
more than 10000 majority. lie again
consoled his friends for this unexpected
defeat by saying that in the next cam.
paign he woulL take the field 10 person.
He did so he trnversed tho whole State,
on mere electoneering tour, and with
the exception of the city of New York,
the result in the Legislature showed
larger majority against him than the year
before. In almost every contested eoun-
~ the popular vote against him was In
creased. There was no falling off, but
from local causes, any where, except IN
the old Western district, which is so i'm
mensely strong that there was no necessi.
iv of giving tull vote but at general
election. That old district will give Har.
rison FIFTEEN THOUSAND majority.
The late charter election in the city Of
New York has satisfied both friend and
foe that, under the registry law, Harrison
will carry the city in the fall by deer
siye vote. You must recollect, too, that
last year we had every thing 10 discour-
age and dishearten our friends. Many
gave up all for lost after they heard the
disastrous accounts from Tennessee aud
Indiana. But there We're some indomita.
bic spirits, that never doubt or taltcr in
good cause. They rallied, and soon con
WINGED the People that New York could
sustain herself, and was not TO be ini'uen-
ced by any news abroad, however unpro-
ptious. At this time every man OF the
Deposition is confident Of success. Ii Is
not an over-coniidence that begets mac
ton; it is confidence which inyigorates
and inspires, aud which impeis to greater
exerlion. 1t is a confidence, in short,
which will justify the expectations of our
friends, and dsappoint the hopes Of our
enemies.
After all we have done in New York,
for the last three years, under the most
uniavorable auspices, It is not little NOR.
tifying to us now, with all our bright pros
poets before US, that single friend abroad
should foi one moment permit doubt OF
our triumphant success in the tall TO cross
his mind. Ncw York is Just as certain
for Harrison as thai The ties Of election
comes round. And if my old friend Ritz
chic, who goes for men, and not principles,
would like to venture suit OF clothes on
the issue, should be pleased to accom-.
modate him or he does not choose TO
venture on new York, will take il on the
Union; or If, as BardoIph says, he will
be /" better accommodated" will take
suit on each.
A Democratic Republican State Con-
vention will soon be called at the old
headquarters at Syracuse. 1t viii be
held about the first OF October. There
will be a Conservative rally on that occa-
sion, such rs has not been known before
10 the State. The real Democracy will
be there, to take the most effectual meas
ures against the federal usurpations of Mr.
Van Buren,. New York adheres to her
old Democratic Republican principles, and
will not be driven into the aLtra Iederdl-
ism Of this Administration. FroM ths'
days of George Clinton TO the p'esent
time, she has resisted the encroechments
of Executive power and the usarpatlans
Of the Federal Government. sShe will
continue to resist them, whether urged up
on her by Martin Van Buren, or Thomas
Richie. II is 10 reason, because these
gentlemen have abandoned their principles
and turned Federahsts, that the Demo
cratic Republicans of New York or of
Virginia, should follow their example,
Ia New York they will adhere to their
old principles, and will assemble in Con-
ventlon at Syracuse 10 resist Federal ag-
erosion as our forefathers assembled, IN
the time OF the Revolution, to resist the
Stamp Act and the Tea Tax. | beg,
