DEAN Sin: have just received your letter Of the
4h instant, In which you express anxiety concerning
the political aspect of this State II not surprising
that Republicans, in other States, should feel such
socitude. The unexpected result OF the Baltimore
Convention, and the reputed divisions among Demo
Gratis here, (Which the Wing press had magnifed
with their usual exaggeration,) might well induce
cautious elsewhere to consider State doubt
full.
| Notwithstanding the strong indications In other
States, that Democrats united aud awake TO
their duty TO the cause, as to New York, IL
seems, that doubts have been felt among our true
friends Of other sections. Mr.. Wright was said TO
be cold' towards the Baltimore nominations.
| The People proclaimed TO be hostile to Polk
and Dallas, and for time, the Wing leaders really
calculated with some confidence upon carrying New
York for Whiggery. They managed most skilfully
to inspire their class of eectioneerers with
more confidence than they themselves felt. Hence

But the leaders feel that the popular tide is against
them. For the last two months their sole hope has
been, divisions among Democrats
This hope has now failed them The action OF
our Syracuse Convention has sealed the fate Of Wing

did not witness the proceedings, realize the spirit

watch-words. All right, spell it as youlplease,'
was the usual gre ing.
The reported divisions among the delegates had
reached the ears of Democrats in all sections, and
had induced not few to attend spectators, in
der to satisfy themselves that representatives of the
Democracy Of our State would not have the folly,
blindness, sefshness to disgrace themselves, and
endanger the good old cause, by miserable quarres
about men at a crisis like the present. The result
has fully falsifed the Wing predictions, and has
placed Democracy on a more firm basis than our
most ardent friends anticipated.
Long before the Convention was organized, it was
understood by the delegates that Slas Wright would
be unanimously nominated and that he could not re-
fuse the use of his own great name upon the direct
call of reunited, unanimous Democracy of his own
State. That call has been made upon him.
He acknowledges his obligation to accept, and will
if he lives, be the Governor of the State of New
York, for the next two years at least.
speak not the words of sanguine zeal-but of
truth and soberness which short months will fully
justify.
New York is safe for a majority of 20, 900 for
Polk and Dallas, and for from $4,000 to 80 600 for
Siias Wright. All intelligent Wing politicians feel

and boast for effect in other States and to the
election Of local candidates in doubtful districts
here.
speak from personal knowledge, in saying TO you
that the Delegates to the State Convention who
directly indirectly instructed to urge the re-nomi-
nation of Governor Bouck, and did vote accordingly,
the informal ballot much satisfied ay gra
tilted, with the spirit and action of the Convention, as
the warmest Wright men. This feeling they firmly
and earnestly averred TO every in the Convention
and out of it. The fact is, we have reached new
epoch in politics. The Democratic masses have but
single grand object in view at this election--the
complete ascendency of true Republicanism in our
State and nation They demand the perfect union of
all true Republicans, regardless Of personal prefer
ences or sectional interest.and complete acquescence
in supporting those candidates best qualified to insure
united, harmonious action.
With the People, men nothing, further than
they promote the
Oldhunkers and 5an-burners, Van Buren, men,
Cass men, Benton men, Tyler men, Johnson men,
Calhoun men, Wright men, .Bouck men, are nothing
with them compared with the reunion and over
whelming triumph of the Democracy. The People
say, "away with all such dstinctons-all Republi-
cans, who in sincerity and truth sustain our prnci-
piles in this great contest receive other badge OF
orthodoxyn-"J for US, or against US, in 1874" is the
test hereafter
Every man who faithfully raises his arm against
the corrupt alliance between Federal leaders, and
selfish money power, has genuine certificate Of his
Democracy which will pass current every where.
Politicians have at least opened their minds to the
correction Of this strong tendency Of popular sent
ment, and have yielded their own plans and prefer
ences to its mighty potency-we fearing that the
car might crush them in longer opposing its progress
The letter of President Tyler shows that he fully
appreciates the great Democratic pulse. 1t is re-
celved with high appreciation every where. The
country owes that man debt of gratitude, which
will be fully recognised by the whole nation. The
terms in which he expresses his disgust OF bypocrt-
cal Wing leaders-tbeir treacbery and want Of all
true patriotism-reach the heart Of every homes,
man, and remove the last obstacle to our reunion.
The Union is now safe. The fate Of Whiggery is
sealed. Old Federalism will make gigantic efforts
in expiring agony, but it cannot move a single CO.
