s. Should National Conventions of hoh ,hese parties
he row called, IN which Convention would the united
Democracy OF New York be represented
We hope The Post will be knd enough to asN or these
questions We ask for information
The above is but sample Of the interrogato
ries addressed to publicly and privately by our
friends in other States. We have but lew
words TO say in reply The Boston Republican,
has as ample means tor answering its Inquiries
as we have. 1t is equally familiar with the past
history and action OF the two sections of the dem.
ocratic party; the proceedings OF all the late con.
ventions III this State before the public and
within It's reach and ii possesses the same oppor-
tunties OF calculating the future action OF the
parties here, as ourselves, unless, as we infer
from its inquiries it under estimates the sincerity
and hrmness of some OF those who have profess
ed to be the friends OF freedom. In this State
they require no vindication in those particulars,
aud it they did here elsewhere, we do notteel
that we have any call to make it.
The Evening Post has more authority TO de.
line the future action OF the democratic party
nor means OF interpreting its past action than the
1
tie reflection should satisfy that journal that the
present is not the time for us, exercise the one
Or TO employ the other. The reunion of the dem
ocratic party in this state was resolved upon, not
without delberahon. Those who were most ac-
tive i'll bringing it about are known to be men ac-
customed to act deliberately. 1t was designed
! that the terms of the union should be fair and
honorable to both parties and that they should not
be made the occasion OF an invidious triumph by
either.
The terms OF the re union are before the coun.
try Both sections of the party are satisfied with
them The convention which represented the
radical portion OF the party, adopted those terms
with substantial unanimity, not dozen dissent
ing. We believe their course has been APPROX
ed OF by their constituents with corresponding
unanimity. They believe as we believe. after
giving the subject our bestrefection and avang
ourselves OF the mature judgment, and the full
discussions OF the ~isest men in that convention
and some OF the wisest men in the state not in
that convention, that the course which has bee n
taken is better calculated than any other which
could have been adopted to secure free political
institutions to our new territorial possessions md
to promote the best interests oil our State and ma
ton.
We submit that this should satisfy our friends
IN other states for the present. They can readily
perceive the improperly, not to say folly, OF our
entering at this time into controversial Wind ca
ton oil our course, that might defeat the verv
ends Tor which it was adopted Conceding that
our reasons for being satisfied with our position
are good, this is obviously no time to show how
good they are. 1t might crafty the curiosity of
some IN other states to hear how either section of
the party in this state had got the state OF the 9th
n er In the recent arrangement, how this that and
Y the other triumph was in store for one of them
out the very qualification of that curiosity might
and probably would falsify the revelation itself
II WnIie 1t could serve no good end whatever
1t is enough for to say at present that both
IS sections OF the party are, profess to be- satisf
:, ed. The Barnburners we believe are entirely
= So and we have no doubt that the other section
II is equally So We therefore recommend our
friends III other states not TO be impatient or pre-.
cipltate, and to occupy that portion OF their ieis
= ure which they choose to devote to the consider
e alton of New York politics, in digesina the fol
It lowing important facts:
$ l. Inc Democrats OF New York have given
more costly pledges of their sincerity, in opposinO
= the extension OF slavery than any other political
= organization in this union.
y T. There is no apprecable diversity of opinion
). among what were known as the free soil Demo-
Gratis OF New York, about the propriety OF the
l. course adopted by their delegates at the late U,
s. ca Convention
e D. mere are not probably FIVE hundred Demo
cratic voters in the state, who on their oath
would declare that they believed the Federal
= government had not power to exclude slavery
G from the territories, or that that power should
not be exercised, if necessary to such exclusion
:, A. There is not press in the state so far as we
are informed, which now questions that power or
that duty.
D. perpetuation Of the divisions of the den
ocratlc party, by prescribing those who have
: heretofore supported cand dates entertaining diff
5 ferent opinions, would have tendency 10 drive
the prescribed to seek Tor and place confidence in
unsound reasons, in justification Of their course
and to Indurate their prejudices against the other
portion OF the party, and the measures which
they protessed, and thus effect permanent ali
enanon between men whose principles and inter
ests are alike harmonious.
i o. The policy OF the present administration of
the general government is already sufficiently
developed to make it apparent, that The democra.
tic is The only party that be relied upon for
the next four years, TO make any combined and
effective resistance to the extension OF slavery =
! 10 perpetuate our two organ cations, when there
is no subs antia division OF opinion among US. is
to perpetuate pro slavery influence in this ate
aud TO deprive the cause Of freedom of the i'm.
portant service which, as united and Triumphant
party, we are competent 10 render.
