Tannmany HAN meeting.

The New York Herald of the 23d, publishes the
proceedings of ratification meeting of the
democracy of the city and county of New York held
at Tammany Hall, on the ed The Herald says it
was full turn out and the gathering charac
terised by predominant spirit of exutation, OF en-
thusiasm and confdence-of exultation in the re-
cent elections in various States of enthusiasm in the
hearty reunion of the two divisions of the party
a national PLATFORM and of confidence in the gene
raj result in November" The words are the Heralds
not ours.
'' Mr. Sckle'-we again quote the words of the
Herald" then came forward and read the fellow
ing resolutions which were received with frequent
cheers and outbursts of applause
l. Resolved That the democracy of the city of New York
assembled in hereby reafm the two following
solutions passed by the ratification meeting held in famma
ny Hall on the 10Th ultimo, viz:
2 ReSOUed That gratifed to announce to the de-
mocracy of the Union that the resolutions of the Syracuse
convention adopted without dissenting voice,
graduating the country the settlement by Congress of
the questions which have unhappy divided the people the
several States That declaration Of the principle offers
pledge that those benecent of adjustment will be
maintained by the democratic party in all their integrity
epreeat9g all sectional the country is treasured
further agitation of the subjects embraced in the series of
laws known the compromise measures Expressing the
unanimous determination of the democrats of this State to
be associated with the democratic party of the Union in the
ensuing national convention to be held at Baltimore, and
Baltimore convention of l840 1874 and ISIS present
to the American people sacred guarantee of the complete
fraternity of the democracy of this State with the democra
of the Union united upon their ancient principles, and
loyal to the constitution and the of the States own
ing upon all geographical parties factions whether form
ed at the North South East West and resolved hence
to know but andto strike but for one Vcto
These the only resolutions relating to the sla
very question or the compromise, and we commend
them to the special attention of the Fayetteville OBJ
server. They prove conclusvely that though the
democracy of old Tammany laid on the table the
dsorganzing resolutions of Mr.. Wheeler, which
that paper makes such dismal cutlery, they know
how, at proper time, and in proper manner, to
vndcate their truth and assert their fidelity the
constitution and the laws and we honor them for it.
Would that their northern opponents could be made
to show their hands as openly and fairly. We
could then view the approaching political contest
without fear or apprehension. We sincely hope
that they may be brought to pursue the right
Without it. we are convinced that they cannot and
and ought not to receive the cooperation of the
wing party at the south.
