New York and the National Convention.
As the national convention approaches, the signs of dis
affection which have threatened its harmony have disap
peared until but a single remans-and that is to
be seen the State of New York For the success of the
of the nation and for the honor of this great
State we ervently hope the breach in her democracy,
through which federalism has already entered and obtained
possession of her government may yet be adjusted as mi
nor been settled in other States But at the
emf moment New York adheres line of policy fac
,ons escape the of such States refuse 10 dis
tract the national convention with their local quarIels
The origin OF the trouble among brethren in New
York. their present grievances, are not matters OF discus
sion for The democracy of other States; and if the com
plants both wings of the combatants to be believed,
their grievances certainly duplicated to be well
dersood abroad 1t sufficient to that varions measures
of purely State policy have divided the democracy OF thai
State extent for several years-that this division
has permitted federalism carry everything by default
and now their defeat at home it finds vent in the Will
mot Poviso and seeks carry their divisions abroad by
forcing this question upon the national convention 1t
having reached this mplexion, the democracy Of other
States have right their protest against the
duct of those New York leaders who would every
other State the degrading level of their own. The
men these differences settled the great Empire State
in reality for the nominee of the Baltimore Con-
venon New Hampshire, and even admitted TO be so
by opponents. And were at this moment known that
she would give r full for the democratic nominee
hope would remain for Mr.. Clay who frankly declares
tha, other wing carry that State But New York
herself and the democracy of the nation, her
hirysix electoral votes in the presidential canvass and
Nshe obstinaicy refuses them while she is acknowledged
phaye the ability do she will longer be looked
hat of
moaopoze the honors of the victory and triumph without
her.
At the head of of the rival cques, stands Mr. John
Van Buren,, of the cx-Presden He has put forth
long address, in the Of the State convention Uca
embodying the views of that body. But neither the adj
dress the resolutions pretend to submit their pretensons
the National Convention, other than to make the Provso,
by implication least, test in its proceedings, we cannot
but regard preparatory step o refusal acquesce
in its nominations If the zeal which this branch of the
party manifest for the Provso had not been enkndled
by their hostility those composing the opposite branch,
they could least claim the merit of sncey but is,
their honesty may well be questioned 1t may be true that
both factions have grievances which will justify much that
has said and written concerning their State
These be settled where they belong; and the demo
other States interested in them no farther than
prevent their extension beyond the limits of New York
Yet, if two Of delegates present themselves for
the National Convention, present appearances
strongly Indicate the crisis must be met, and doubt
will be with frmness. The assembled delegates OF
the democracy of the whole Union will furnish remedy,
fone to be found and if not, 1t will devolve upon the
democracy OF other States the country from federal
mlsule without the aid of New York That State must
be acknowledged the battle ground Of the Union
hwin 1914 but every other State must be made the
iactve operations and all share in the glory of the vic
tory.
But we yet without our hopes that the de-
mocacy of New York,rong this it has
been-wil yet forget this family quarrel long enough to
remsmber their duty themselves and their brethren
abroad That State is able give the democratic candi-
dates SO electoral votes That they may have them is SO
contamination devoutly be wishe " but if they to
refused every and fibre of the democracy the
Union should be put in requison to triumph moi
only without but aga INST the Empire State. If victory
Then ours, also will be the glory; if otherwise, the
responsibility will rest where it belongs.
