OF the soil consent that the products of
their farms shall be reduced in price so low,
as not TO pay the cost of production; nor will |
the farmers consent that their lands shall
be reduced two-thirds 10 yalue-that where
they have purchased farm. for example,

from under them for the smonat of the |
mortgage, and their wives and children
turned out OF doors, withou, shelter and |
without bread Such are the legitimate eff |
| tects OF the doctrines now maintained by
this Admin stration, and which its friends
and supporters are here urging upon the
country and which will be established be-
yond the hope of redemption, if MIR. Van
Buren, shall be reelected.
Of his reelection, there is not the faint
est prospect. In regard to New York;
speak without the least hesitation, and with |
the most entire conference.-the has no pos
slble hope Of success there. Why should
he have? The changes have been con-
stanty against him for the last three years,
and none in his favor. AT the extra session
in 1887, predicted his overthrow 10 that
year, he was swept away, by hurricane.
AT the next session of Congress, he apollo
gized TO his friends, by saying that there
was 40, 900 voters who did not come to the
polls, but would be out for him at the next
election. Well, sir, in 1898, these 40 900
came out, and 25, 900 in addition and he
was beaten by more than 10000 majority.
He again consoled his friends for this UNI
expected defeat, by saying, that in the next
campaign he would take the field IN person.
lie did so-he traversed the whole State,
on mere electioneering 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 County, the
popular vote against him was increased
There was no falling off, but from local !
causes, any where, except in the old Wes-
tern district, which is SO immensely strong
that there was no necessity of giving full
vote, but at a general election. That old
district will give Harrison Fifteen thousand
majority.
The late charter elections 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 decisive
vote. You may recol!ect, too, that last
year we had every thing to discourage and
dishearten our friends-many gave up all
for lost. after they heard the disastrous ac-
counts from Tennessee and Indiana. But
there were some indomitable spirits, that
never doubt or fauter in good cause
They rallied and soon convinced the peo-
pie that New York could sustain herself
and was not to be influenced by any news
abroad, however unpropitions. At this
time, every man ofthe opposition is conf
dent of success. 1t is not an over-conf-
dence which Inyigorates and inspires, and
which impels to greater exertion. 1t is
confidence, in short, which will Justify the
expectations of our friends, and disappont
the hopes of our enemies.
| After all We have done in New York, for
the last three years, under the most fayora-
BILE auspices. it is not little notifying to
US now, with all our blight prospects be-
fore US, that single friend abroad should,
Tor one moment, permit doubt of our tri-
umphant success in the fall, to cross his
mind. New York is just as certain for
! Harrison, as that the time of election comes
round. And if my old friend Richie, who

like TO venture a suit of clothes on the is
sue, should be pleased to accommodate
him--or, if he does not choose to venture it
on New York, ifhe will take it on the I'm

"better accommodated" | will take a suit
on each. -
A Democratic Republican State Con-
ventlon will soon be called at the old head
quarters at Syracuse. 1t will be held a.
bout the LIST of October. There will be a
Conservative rally on that occasion, such
as has not been known before in the State.
The real Democracy will be there, to take
the most effectual measures against the
federal usurpations of Mr.. Van Buren,
New York adheres to her old Democratic
Republican principles, and will not be driv-
en- into the ULTRA FEDERALISM of this ad
minstration. From the days of Georg 3
Clinton to the present time, she has resist
ed the Entertainments of Executive power
and the usurpations of the Federal Gov
eminent. She will continue to resist them,
whether urged upon her by Martin Van
Buren, or Thomas Richie. 1t no reason
because these gentlemen have abandoned
their principles, and turned FEDERALIsTs,
that the Democratic Republicans of New
York or of Virginia should follow their
example. In New York they will adhere
to their old principle, and will assemble in
Convention at Syracuse to resist Federal
