1.-THE RIGHT SPIRIT IN NEW YORK.
LAT MEETING OF THE DEMOCRACY OF THE EN-
PiRE CITY.
We find in the New York papers a full account
the great democratic county meeting held at
mmany last Wednesday evening, to express and
body the sentiments Of the New York democra-
in relation to the important measures OF the ad-
nistration passed the last session of Congress.
Notwithstanding the oppressive heat of the weather,
democracy appears to have rallied absolutely en-
use, and the utmost harmony and enthusiasm pre-
led in the vast assemblage. How potent is the re-
ke which this great demonstration administers to
II spirit of misrepresentation which is now falsely
fsrng that the great measures Of the last Congress
Of sectional Character, and receive only sec
nal support! Here is the voice of the Empire
Y, loud as the loudest in praise Of the course Of
administration. The New York Globe says:
Nj the great measures of the democratic party have
Bby triumphed. The mighty voice Of the people
s been spoken through their representatives, and
people themselves respond, and say, well done
gu good and faithful servants The independent
asury, the modification of the tariff Of 1s42, the
hnexation Of Texas, the settlement of the Oregon
nestion, and justification Of the Mexican war,
|ith determination to prosecute it with vigor to
be democracy of this city approved. The policy
the administration of James X. Polk has been
Pproved of. The vote Of George M. Dallas on the
hrif has endeared him to the democracy of the
Union. ..- .... .....
sour distinguished statesman, Sas Wright, was
Farmy eulogized and hereafter there will be no d.
|sons or discussions in our ranks. Democracy
pill hereafter be united, and victory will be ours.
With our forces united, we may defy all opposition,
ind from this time forward we look for a long ca
Ger of ascendancy-a long period of democratic
riumph, in which our opponents will be powerless.
The voice of our people will reach from one ex-
remity of the country to the other 1t will crafty
he President and Vice President, and the noble and
worthy democrats who have been instrumental in
the will of the people. The voice Of
his city is in favor of Sas Wrights denomination.
This distinguished statesman will no longer meet
With any opposition among our city democracy.
The voice of the democracy of this city and the
State is decidedly in favor of Silas Wright, and his
enominaton and reelection is now matter of GER
ainty. The few who now oppose his nomination
vii withdraw their opposition. We shall be a
United party and a victorious one..
Several Of our most prominent democrats who
lad been invited to address the meeting, were una
lie to attend and letters from them will be found
published in another part Of our paper The meet.
ng was glorious one, and the New York democ-
acy has given another evidence Of the soundness OF
is principles. To conclude, let US say that we are
'roud Of our principles, proud of our party, and we
nonor and respect those great men who have nobly
md honestly carried out the measures for which we
10 ardenty commended in the election Of 1874 But
me feeling now actuates the democratic family, both
n this State and in the Union; but one object is had
view, and that is to maintain our ascendancy, and
ecurs the passage of other measures of democratic
,oIicy Progress is our watchword, and with il in
crbed upon our banner, other victories are in stor,
orus. Democracy is not stationary; it cannot res
content while evils exist: it must progress long al
men have rights to protect" ......
The Morning News adds: each and every meas

ankness characteristic Of the mass that every mai

the banner of equal rights and equal Justice Tn
Abrogaton Of the black tariff, and the substitution il
its place Of more equitable and just enactment, re
oeved the most emphatic sanction; and at the hands
too, Of the very men who, according to our hast,
and Shortsighted opponents, are to be ruined b,
