Who are the men who issue this document
Where did they obtain the right to this tone of
commando Who constituted them the special ex-
ponents OF the sentiments of the democratic party
Of New York, and the guardians OF its purity
Did they gain the position simply because oi the
peculiar immaculacy of their own political cha
racter, or by reason Of some appointment Who
created the new and extraordinary organization OF
a Democratic Republican Executive Committee,
and who elected these sixteen persons as Its mem-
bersl There are gentlemen signing this document,
and auogatlng this title OF power and authority,
who were not even members OF the Democratic
General Committee. The designation assumed
was one calculated to deceive. II a title had been
sought for expressly, one better adapted TO that
purpose could hardly have been found.
THIS address made Its appearance in the New
York Herald, Monday morning, April ., the day
immediately preceding the election. II was too
late TO be answered. There was not time TO ex-
pose the unofficial character OF the document
The wings eagerly seized the burning missile, and
| cAst il inio the midst OF the democratic masses
They read in every line OF aid and comfort 10 theli
cause, and the auguries OF their success; aud they
were not disappointed. IL was an appeal TO pas
sion; and before there was time To weigh the sub
jsct carefully in all its consequences the election
was over, and IL was lost. The democracy re
ceived another painful lesson Of the fatal results Of
dsunlon.
The came disposition to unite the broken power
of the party which was exhibited here, maalfe ST.
ed itself throughout the State. As soon as the
Presidential election over, the question was, how
agein. The propriety and necessity OF a reunion
| were generally acknowledged This sentiment
found It's first uterance IN the addresses issued by
| the members of the Legislature OF both the late
sections OF the democracy, at the close OF the last
session. But IL was more distinctly expressed IN
| the proposition emanating from the Democratic
state Committee, at Albany, thar State conventions
should be called by both sections, 10 meet at the
same time and place, for the purpose OF consider.
ing plan Of union. In accordance with this pro-
| position, the two conventions assembled nj Rome
in August last. But their conferences did not re-
| suit IN coBsummaiing the union at that time.
| A State democratic convention met al Syracuse,
September 9th, for the purpose ct nominating State
| officers TO be supported az the ensuing election.
| The spirit OF union and cancellation prevailed IN
the convention, and another effort wa. made TO
/ unite the party. The results of the deliberations
and action OF the convention were embodied IN
| the following resolutions
Resolved, That . copcilistory should be pur.

The proposition, rendered in the spirit OF har
mony, conveyed in these resolutions, was met IN
the same spirit by the Utica Convention, and the
reunion was effected. They adopted, in answ el
to the proposition, the following resolutions
