Tho Union OF the Democratic Party-The
Union Add ress,

barnburners and locolocos, to bring about union
| of those two factions of the democratic party, 80
as TO regain, If possible, their ascendancy this
| State at the next election, anG get within their
| grasp, once more, the spolls of victory. From
| what we detailed, our readers no doubt pre-
pared to witness, at an early day, the medtated
union; and we have it in power now to say that
| 1t has taken place, virtually.
| For some days the leading men of the two fac
tons have been closeted in convention, with closed
| doors, cegitating upon the signs Of the times,
bemoanng their hunger, patting their empty
stomachs, smacking their lips at the prospect be-
fore them if they would unite, and adopting mea-
sures to form junction OF forces. After billing
and cooing for some nights, proposing objections
and Withdrawing them, and taking divers and sum
dry cocktails and juleps, the whole party, par
| ticuar evening, go; exceedingly kind and amiabe
to each other-each faction vowing that it liked
the other better than ever, and the great wonder
was that they ever were parted; for their principles
were identical, even on the question of the extern
sion of slavery to the new territories. After
another round Of cocktails, delegate proposed
that union address, sgnedby both factions. should
be drawn up. The proposition was received with
great unanmity, a committee appointed to
draft it, and the following is copy af the docu-
muent:-
| TO THE DEMO CRATIC REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TIE
STATE OF NEW YORK.
The undersigned, democratic republican electors Of
the city Of New York take the liberty Of appealing to
their brethren throughout the State in reference the
condition Of the democratic party Of New York That
party is divided and defeated We believe it can
be honorably united and we ask your attention to tho
manner Of eecting this object Two organizations
in existence in this State claiming be regular and
| democratic. The one has called a State Convention
10 meet at 9th OF September
the nomination Of State officers; the other has called
State Convention to meet at Utica on the 18th of Sep
TENDER We do not believe it possible for the
ventiops meeting at different time and place to unite
| upon single ticket. or which is important, to
agree in principle We shall then have State tickets
in the field claiming to be regular and democratic the
and the defeat of both State tickets almost
inevitably follows But the consequences not IT,
| ed to the state election. In almost every coun-
ty in the State local officers to be chosen at
the fall election. In our own county we have then
to- ; elect t, sheriff County Clerk c Coroner
Court OF Common Pleas, four Senators aud sixteen
Assembly men, six heads of departments of the city
government to hold for three years, together with
Common Council to hold for two years aud by which
police officers are to be appointed for four years
thousand; but our past experience has shown that
without union on the general ticket, it can give no
upon single ticket We believe that the same
will prove true in the other counties Of the State
ComptroIler Secretary Of State, Attorney General,
State Engineer Treasurer Judge Of tho Court Of
AaRpea Canal an speos99r Of state ate
policy of the State.
The State Of New York give. firmly believe at
the fall election decided democratic majority Thus
important are the approaching elections in regard to
public stations. Let us now advert to The more i'm
portant subject of principles We are, agreed in our
hostility to the State national
are agreed in opposition to national bank, high
tariff wasteful system Of internal improvements BY
the general or State governments corporate monopoes,
and the plunder they effect We agreed in the sup
port Of an independent treasury tariff for
| by our new constitution We opposed to the K
tension Of slavery and desire to arrested by all
any attempt to Interfere with 1t in those States In
which it now exists We have acted together politi-
ably unite and determined to try whether we can
or not For this single purpose, We call union de-
18th Of August next at IL Mo consist Of two dele
gates from each Assembly district to consult to tho
union Of the democratic party and to recommend sum
measures as they shall deem advisable for that pur-
pose This will be purely an advising body II does
NOT at all interfere with either OF tho two conventions
already called They will follow Its recommendations,
| ornot as they please No question Of regularity can
arise As to this convention 1t is always regular for
the people to meet and consult Our sole object 10 ~
whether agree, and this il certainly most
welcome duty. We invite the two Democratic State
the local committees Of the two sections Of the
| democratic party to second IL. by providing for
gate from each such section, to offend tho proposed
convention. We ask-ws entreat, every honest demo-
crat in the State to lend helping hand and an ap-
|
brethren in other States have met and united cordially
and enthusiastically. Have We less patriotism than
they! Weappeal to our democratic brethren by their
collection Of the brilliant Of party
from the date Of Jenersons glorious charter Of freedom
till tho late Presidential electionby the memory Of
common struggles and our hard triumphs-by the
honor which their ancient pride and power reflected
defeat hush their dssensons Danish heart burnnSs
and personal animosties, and meet like q band Of
on thu q
political altar 10 to DO reared provide for the durable
re ascendAney OF that party with which the Of
true liberty and sound policy is inseparssy connected
Uhs address will be signed by the principal
hunksrs and barnburners in this city. 1t will be
perceived that 1t recommends consulting union
convention, to be held at Syracuse on the 18th day
Of August. This, we are informed, will be only
advisory body. The object is, we expect, to
propose certain candidates for nomination to tho
two nominating conventions which are appointed
fer September next, with the expectation that the
candidates named by them will be adopted and
the union of the party thus effected. We under
stand that the abolition of slavery in the District
of Columbia was discussed at some length but 1t
was finally agreed upon that slavery, it at pre-
sent exists in any part of the United States, shall
not be assailed by the democratic party.
The party being virtually restored to its integrity,
in this city at least, the propriey of having an or
gan was discussed, and it was settled and decided
upon that the Globe of this city, with an altered
name and new type, should be the exponent of the
views of the party. That paper will therefore be
called the Globe and Unio~, and will change Its
name in day or two. The wings may therefore
expect to meet powerful organization of their OPP
Ponents at the next election.
