: MEssRs. CHAPMANs & SPANN-Please publish the
following and Obige subscriber: AS the time for
holding the next National Convention is drawing near
the purpose of which is the selection of candidates
for office of President and Vice President of the
United States and being democrat, feeling deep
ond abiding interest for the of the party and
its principles, it will not be thought presumpuous in
10 say few words in reference TO the subject 1t
evident that the next democratic President must
from the North; it is also evident, that he
not be elected without the aid of New York. The
question then arises, will the delegates to that Con-
venton overlook the true interests of the party by
casting aside the claims New York has upon the Con-
vention for the candidate for President in 1S4Si 1t
is well known to the democratic party throughout the
United States, that the candidate from that State for
the Office of President at the last National Convention
unfairly dealt with, TO the dissatisfaction of
large portion of the democratic party. After taking
these things into consideration il becomes the duty of
the convention to give New York the next candidate
for President. and if they do, victory more will
perch upon the democratic banner and the party stand
as it did in 1874. perfect unit. In making these
marks, do not wish to cast any reflections any
portion of the Union, for the benefit of another, do
it merely for the purpose of harmonizing the party
and insuring its success. large majority of the
people of New York are democratic, her sons are
cbvalrous and intelligent, and always ready to do
battle in the cause of democracy. Turn, if you
please, 10 EeIale OF DidleS anu l0ere
cast your eyes that intelligent body, and view
the greatest talent in the Nation assembled. And
who stands conspicuous in your view, than Hon.
john A. DIX, the NOBLE high minded, and generous
hearted Senator from that great and democratic State
He is a man who has superior in the Nation
whose course has been democratic; and who has
steercd aoof from all the party factions of the day
whose speech delivered on the Mexican is unan-
Swered and unanswerable. hold it 10 be princi-
pie in the democratic creed, that State has any
claims upon the party for candidate for any office.
But if claims of States to be taken into considera
alton by the Convention for the nomination of
didate for President of the United States, de-
mocrat and HOosIER at that, present the claims OF
New York. What did the democracy of that State
do towards electing our present chief magistrate
Ever true to the principles of the party, sacrificing
every thing for principle, they took from the Senate
of the United States the CATO Of America, (SILAs
WRIGHT) and run him as their candidate for Govern
of the State in order to defeat the wing candidate
for President, and insure the of the party
which alone, taken by the democrats of that
State, made the party victorious in the election OF
1874 In conclusion permit me to say one word tc
the delegates to the Baltimore Convention. Gentle
men, you will be beset all sides by the various poll
cians, who go barking about for nothing under hea-
ven, but the plumber they expect 10 obtain, should
their candidate for President be nominated and elect
ed therefore pay attention to Them But go TO Bal
tmore with this motto inscribed upon your banner
PRINCIPLES not MEN, and all will turn out right.
HOOSIER.
