Union Of the Democracy.

With few exceptions, the nominations of the Balt-
more convention hailed in every State and section Of
the Union with cordially and enthusiasm which augur
the most triumphant to the democratic cause in
the approaching election. Not word OF discomfort not
note of discord, with the exceptions alluded to, are
heard amid the general Joy and exultaton with which
the nominations have been received.
In the convention the friends of the distinguished gen.
tlemen whose commanding abilities and elevated charac
ters placed them in the category of candidates for the
high honor of the nomination, struggled with commend
able zeal for their respective favoes But, after the
choice fairly made, according to the usages of the
party and the rules of the convention all yielded up their
particular preferences and FASTENED to rally under the
banner of the successful candidate Before the
ton, there Cass men, Woodbury. men, Buchanan
men, and Dallas men. Now, they all Cass men, and
know no preference but the choice of the patriotic con-
yention of which they members.
The press, too, throughout the Union with local
exceptions exhibits the praiseworhy disposition
harmonic and concate Whatever may have been the
individual preferences of its conductors with regard
candidate for the presidency all cordially respond TO the
nomination which has been made Indeed, we may say
that the nominations of Cass and Butler have been re-
ceived with reclamation by the great body of the demo-
cratic press. Such spirit of union, such disposition to
concate and harmonic, and such enthusiasm and deter
mnaton, exhibited at the very threshold of the contest
inspire with the most confident belief in triumphant
campaign and browning victory
But let no man be lukewarm or Indifferent We have
no ordinary battle fight The wing party, encouraged
with hope of success by the embarrassments which
have grown out of the war with Mexico, shutting then
eyes to the honor and glory achieved and the valuable
indemnity which will have been if the treaty Of
peace is ratified, will make one more desperate
effort to get possession of power To accomplish
his favorte object, no effort will be spared, and
no means will be left untred We must meet them with
corresponding effort and determination. And from this
moment, should every member of the great PATRIOT
PARTY of the country deem himself enlisted for the
pagn and should devote all his efforts and energies
the glorious in which he has embarked until the
battle is fought and the victory
But while gratfed with the general approval Of
the democratic nominations and the enthusiasm which
is exhibited in the ranks of party, we deeply
regret that portions OF the great democratic family
exhibit disposition to abure their ancient faith secede
from their old party associations and raise their hands in
hostility against their brethren, if they enc
mics We lament that such disposition should be ex-
hibed in any portion OF the Union and particularly in
the great State of New York We trust that it is but the
ransitory ebution of feeling arising from disappont
men and that it will disappear when the sober second
thought has done its perfect work, and cool reason
sumes her sway We condemn not now, but earnestly
invite our disconnected brethren to rally once in sup
port OF our and principles We invoke them
to pause and to ponder well the consequences before
they take the final step which will forever separate them
from their old party ties and in the end transfer them to
the embraces of their enemies We them that the
democracy of the Union most cordially desire that they
should incur no such disgrace but that they should
main in the camp of the faithful share the tolls of the

But if the leaders of the disconnected portion of thu
democracy of the Empire State shall take counsel of he
