From the Suffolk IN. W Democrat

We this week place at the head of our columns the
nominations made by the State convention, and pledge To
them an honest and earnest support DisresardinS the
onarres and iealouses OF opposing factions elsewhere,
and knowing the candidates to be honest capable and
thoroughly democratic, ask the masses OF our party
to stand BY their principles and their ancient usages des
p,e the frowns denunciaons OF selfish and interested
leaders solemn and patriotic duty devolves upon the
democracy this fathe national administration must be
sustained in the prosecution of the Wharf.-The voice of the
Empire State must rebuke the traitors who have de-
nounced soldiers murderers, and our government
as robberthe revenues of the State must be protected
from the grasp of prodgal and corrupt ederalism-the
first executive officers elected under the constitution
must be identified with traitors, abolltoniss, anti
renters, outlaws, and murderers in one word, the in
egrty the patriotism, and the welfare of the State must
be maintained, and that only be done by the united
energy and ultimate triumph OF the democracy.
We will not believe that al time like this, any true
and sincere democrat will faer in allegiance TO his party
merely because the men OF his choice have not
been selected The candidates are men OF unimpeached
integrity and capacity; and if the rule of adherence to
regular nominations to have any force hereafter it must
be faithfully observed now;
