MrpEAs s,s: The great battle has been fought,
and most gloriously won. feel proader now 'hsn
ever Of the Democracy of New York. Against means
the most desperate aud dishonorable; against money
10 every form; against lies forgeres and the cry oil
ruin and DISTRESS against appeals in every form TO pre-
udice interest and TO passion, the noble and true
hearted Democrats of New York have stood up WIN
a frmness, boldness and an unbending devotion 10
their principles, which does them honor IN the hgh
est sense OF the word No paltry tricks were resort
ed to; no evasion of the real issues-no lodging on
aoy question: so far as know and no lies, forge
RES, and SANDER trumped up TO delude and de-
ceive the people but with manly holiness, the
orators and presses put the issues involved IN the
contest to the People and they have responded with
RICH, good will. You know nothing Of the conflict
through which we have passed. The deep and in
tense excitement which pervaded all classes, and the
desperation of our opponents, and still our election
was one Of great quiet. Each eager to get
votes. and had no time 10 wrangle The elements
we're stirred up, but with it there no confusion
We all felt that the struggle was hard one. we
knew it must be close SO said little and worked
hard and what 10 more, we triumphed, and we feel
glad, because ii saves the Unon-give the nation
democratic President, and ensures the continuance
Of democratic principles for years 10 come. The
Federal party must, 1 think, dissolve, and they
ought to- for in this campaign they have disgraced
themselves. ! by no means charge dishonor upon
any Wing but ] do say that the leaders have dis
houored themselves and their party. The miserable
shifts to which they have resorted-the Roorback"
and their c. M. Clay appealsand their forgsres and
SANDER on Birney, and their open and profgate use
of money have fixed the mark upon them, and they
cannot wipe il only by abandoning the party, and
that | think they will do But it matters not, the
masses are true and incorrupibe the old republican
spirit pervades the People, and we have nothing to
fear.
. The friends Of President Tyler deserve the thanks
of the Democratic party, for the efficient aid they
have rendered to the good in the present cleo
ton believe they have generally acted with order
and devotion for the success of Col. Polk and be-
lieve they have largely contributed to produce the
grand and happy result which all now hail with
so much satisfaction.
sometimes feel surprised that we have conquered
as reflect back at The through which we have
passed. and the means against which we have had to
contend. | feel stronger than ever attached to,
democratic institutions and principles. The People
ave honest, and all is safe. Let US beg, rejoice
together over the grand victory have achieved;
and when your heart swells with JOY, remember that
the Democracy of New York have had the hardest
fight and won the greatest victory and yet we would
not boast; we have but done duty.
For day or two some of our friends had fears Of
Virginia. l told them the ancient Dominion would
not desert the Republican party that knew some
of her noble sons and would vouch for her faith
She has not disappointed me; honor, | say, to the
proud old State, she is worthy of her renown.
Yours truly. o.
p. S.-The above you will publish or not as you
think best. Personally | have worked hard for the
good cause, having addressed more than fifty public
meetings during the campaign, and some of them
composed of thousands upon thousands. But | am
amply repaid. OF and again | tainted it'll
Being Tyler man, but needed il not, nor did the
democracy heed it, for you they love John
Tyler. Permit to thank you for the efficient aid
you have rendered the Democratic party, by the
course of the Madisonian. But | have not time for
particulars We all feel WELL and so do you, sup
pose.
