liant hope OF carrying any candidate in New York even

from The force OF the expressions that there little pros

the selection of candidate. II these declarations should
be adopted and confirmed by the of the party we
must indeed despair of electng democratic candidate by
the and OF New York. Yet we cannot will not believe
that the democracy OF the Empire State would permit their
great Commonwealth TO be transferred TO Mr. Clay We
had hoped that New York would have had the high
honor OF being the flag ship OF the democratic squadron
But if she fails TO claim that Distinction much more il she
retire from the action and still worse il she asss, BY her
neutrality in the election of wing, then, indeed we
would deploTe her course but still we would not despair
OF Despair it is the last word in our political
dictionary. "a good citizen will never despair of the
republic" Such has always been the rule of our own
action We did not despair OF party when General
Harrison was elected in ls4o. The very next day we
raised the flag, and we fought under il until the dem
ocratc party was restored in the person of Mr. Polk
We did not despair IN the summer of 1874, when
the wings claimed the victory and boldly averred
that Mr. Clay wanted only the forms OF the constitution
to elect him. The republican party did despair nor
will they despair now, even if the great admiral should
retire from the line of battle Despair Why should
we despond The whole prospect is Frightening before
US, except in one quarter Never was the horizon
brighter. There is still but one cloud upon il and that
cloud, we lament to say, is New York Virginia bore
through the banner of New York's own
distinguished in 1910 without her great vote
and we should not despair of electng our demo
cratic nominee in the coming campaign, even with
out her vote to aid the glorious democracy in their
eventfu struggle. Every heart is filled with conf
dence-every republican is determined to do his duty by
his country and by his party; and deeply should we re-
greet 10 gain the victory without New York sharing in
the honor But the democracy OF the Union can do it,
and they will do it, BY every doing ais duty AT the
last election Mr. Polk had 10 votes, Mr. Clay 1876
Mr. Polk wanted but four to elect him without the
vote of New York and now have the new States to
assist us and we shall in all probability carry Ohio
and Tennessee. But we will not despair OF New
York No. never, until she goes 10 the polls We will
believe that the of her democracy will per-
NIT the feuds OF the would be leaders defeat their voice
and PROSTATE their principles In fact, ade-
quately express astonshmeni the language of this
address We cannot see what hope exist OF concil-
iation and compromise between the democracy OF the
country and those who continue to hold this language
