rur ENeMy,s LAST CARD.


To the exceeding modification and chagrin Of the
Wing party, harmony and good feeling prevailed IN
the late Democratic Convention. In the selection OF
delegates Just regard for the particular preferences
of every section of the State has been consulted and
though all could not be pleased, all satisfied and
the result is already manifest that the Democratic
party Of New York arc now more firmly united than
before that Convention.
Ii is most rare that body Of this kind, and such
an occasion, acts with go lille diversity Of sentiment;
and affords the best assurance, that there is mer
bond Of among Democrats than mere preference
for any man. no matter how distinguished or how wo.
thy and that band is principle.
In the extremity of their notification we perceive
,ha, the Wing papers are setting to work with in
Situations that the delegates 10 the Syracuse Conven
ton no! fairly appointed by The several counties
for which they purporicd 10 act, and that "hey were
an unauthorized, undeiegaed body
The object Of These forts is manifest. 1t is 10 ex-
cite disiIust amone Southern Democratic breth
rcn of the fairness of the Syracuse proceedlngs.-
SANDERS are pu, ah,at by the New York Express,
leading Clay print, and are likely 10 have an exicn-
s,ve circulation Though coming from source ent-
ted, under the circumstances, to little or no console
ration We conceiTc due tn tie to correct these
mssluiements, not only matter OF history, bat to
pre- ven, any future Misunderstanding
The several county conventions which appointed
the State delegates, were scarcely ever more nume
rously attended. In many countes the delegations
were iul from every town. This was regarded as
remarkable circumstance at this busy season Of the
year ard that the Democrats were out IN ther
Strength at the primary meetings From time 10 time,
the of the town delegates 10 the county conVen-
tious have been published IN full in this paper with
their resolutions. By reference to these names, 1t
will he seen That the primary conventions were larger
than usual |, i'll be- remarked also, that in nearly
every county convention in which resolutions Of any
kind ware adopted, (and the number in which they
were altogether omitted did not exceed six eight
resoluons unequirocay declaring Martin Van Buren,
,lirr frs, choice and their preference, were adopted
without dissenting voice. We believe that It IS not
,no much 10 say that degree Of unan'my like this,
on sny important question, never before pervaded the
220 GOO Democratic Electors Of the Empire State
It trne that the forml!i,y Of presenting credentials
TO the Convention by common consent dispensed
with Col Young stated, tia; n bis own cnse, and
,ha, of his colleague, Mr. Gardner, no credentials
had been furnished by the Secretaries OF the county
Convention; but that the fact of their selection was
nerfectly well known, aud was undispued. The same
remark was applicable to few other counties But
generally the delegates handed in either the certified
or published proceedings OF the county Convention :
and these remain in the hands of the Secretaries -
no, 3 single seat contested and the names
Of The delegates had been printed and pnblishfd in t
county newspapers, and generally in the Argus, at
", re well known, there could be possible dor3t
as to who were the duly appointed delegates to Tie
Convention.
We have thus promptly met the nnendoes oil Inc
Wing press and have shown them to De as untrue oS
they are unfair. We wish our Southern oIe'h'eh 10
know that while the Democracy OF tbs State are earnest
in their preference for the oil tn choce hey nave
acted throughout all their proceedings WIN equa u"
y and Justice and with entire CONFORMITY 10 the
Democratic sentiment Of tie State - .1'0any 7rguS
