From New York correspondent
NEW York, May "a D. m.
Indications OF bet,er of feeling North re
dawning upon with increasing brightness fcom day to
day Not only does the progress OF the President and his
cabinet elicit everywhere unanimous expression OF
goodwill towards the Compromise and devotion to the
Union, but independent Of this OCCASION developments of
similar character daily being made at home and
abroad by the official action as well as the individual
movements of the democracy.
The legislature OF Connecticut followed up the eeec
non OF seymour by the passage Of resolution APP
proving OF me compromise measures and especially OF the
enforcement of the fugitive slave law Thus one step in
the right path leads another and the recognition
the democratic ascendency very appropriately
by me adoption OF policy calculated strengthen the
winch bind The conederacy together and peace
and prosperity of our common country.
But one thing remains be- done, and gallant
State viii have filled the of its glory and furnish
ed an example TO her sisters worthy OF their praise
and their admiration: let her send Union democrat
10 inc Senate OF the United States. No halfway
better WING than such a one-better an open foe
than an uniaiihful friend-better a man whose prnc
PIES are decidedly hostile than man of no principle
all Tor IN the present state Of parties in the Senate
abnndany able 10 with avowed enemies in open
contest the treason Of protested but unreliable friends
all We have fear.
While congtatnatlng ourselves upon the pra worthy
ucn we cannot help remarkns what lesson 1t reads
that OF New Yok-wiat rebuke it administers that Of
Massachusetts Compare the patriotic reception accorded
by the iorne 10 the efforts OF great national pacif
tors with the cold dsdaiDu silence observed regard
them in halls of legislation. Here no cheers
greeted those noble spirits who had braved the Storm
saved the ship OF State from battlefre and wreck
assurances OF future aid were gvenno promise Of fidelity
Every attempt 10 pledge support the constitution and
the laws frustrated, and fain thank
stars that the measures OF compromise repuda
ted, and their authors not denounced by majority Of
Seward wings and ree-soii democrats Did the
posing that majority truly represent the people of New
York II not why were they where they were These
questions which the people should consider, and hav
ing pondered well, should the election.
Still more startling is the between the action of
the legislature OF Connecticut and that of Massachusetts
In the latter body the spirit Of dsunon nd ssdon bears
the sway untrammeled and unchecked With but five
dssentient voices in The virtually nues the
constitution and the laws II places that ancient Com
wealth in attitude of open hostility against the
general government; and close where stands the Cradle
of Liberty, it boldly dig It's Ii would
really if the State of Massachusetisone of the
theenthe very first and strike blow for tree
domwas prepared forfeit all the credit and her
fathers gained and sacrifice the rich Inheritance for which
they toed and fought and BLEED in l776-for whati
sbsiracuon-to maintain point of not the slightest prac-
teal Importance to herself and gain the we'ched privilege
keeping stolen goods for which she has II would
Z" so,' say; for still we hope II is but seeming
We believe helegssturc represents her people,
pie Of New York Every public demonstration of popular
feeling of these States OF late sanctions the doubts
hersh regard the fidelity with which that feeling
by bodies The same question
regard the ority Of the Massachusetts iegis-
a,ure did Ia regard the majority in owns " the
men compose that majority do not truly represent the
pc ople why they where they are And TO tho people
of State well as of own we would say, ponder
that question well, and answer at the next election
The orga of the board of officers OF Tamma
ny Society took place Monday evening" and the spirit
upon that occasion may be considered one OF
the most cheering signs of the times The election OF
supporter of Polk and Dallas in 1884, and firm friend OF
Cass aud Butler in ls4s TO the Grand Sacbemship by
looks well 1t an earnest OF the SINGER
lily who pledged themselves Gas every Sachem Of
either branch OF the party dd to sustain the compromise
measured and abide the decision Of the Baltimore Conven
ton 1852 and such it should ec as It does the cor
dial pprobation OF the whole democracy There was
degree Ct general good feeling manifested upon this occa
sion which betokens better state OF things than has
i,t.d since the presidential election; and the union
place upon the true issues In this society
leaders of both sections cannot we Think fail
10 have mos, powerful and beneficial influence in bring
ing TOY ether upon the issue the party at large.
Ii would be difficult indeed, TO assign any sufficient rea
son why this general reunion should not take place
There s no longer any real ground of dispute between
The different branches of the party they separated by
an abstraction, and by tina, alone. There time, in
deed when something like reality, though reality OF
disgacefu character entered into the controversy
There existed in the minds of some possibility Of

and thus giving Mr. Van Buren, the shadow
OF n chance ill the chair OF State second time. There
in the hearts OF that gentleman and his adj
herens a purpose avenge the ancied wrong which he
had suffered the hands Of the democratic party by the
selection General Cas its nominee for the presidency
But that time has long since gone blythe realizes such
they were have disappeared, and nothing remains
| but the shadows which concealed them.
Can believed that any considerable portion OF what
was once the democratic party of New York really
about tat most bare of all distractions called "ec soil p
Are there really those who believe necessary to prohibit
en from doing what they could be persuaded hired
or forced TO do Are there those who would the
Union because slavery Is excluded by law from the
snowy wlds and barren wastes Of Utah and New Mexico
when il can hardly be sustained in the mild and genial eli

under the constitution Of the United States

and vet ready resist the enforcement OF It's
