| Two events OF political importance have trans
pred in this city during the past week, both OF which az
ford the most gratifying evidence that the reunion OF the
democratic party, in this quarter at least is UNIVERSAL
cordial and sincere. We refer to the meeting held al
Tammary Hall for the ratification Of the proceedings OF
the Syracuse convention and the primary election whSh
took place Tuesday evening IN he different wards for
the choice OF delegates 10 the nominating yeniion.

Democratic Convention OF 1852 The result OF the prl-
mary election favorable, and afforded abundant indi-

But this is time for lamentations or regrets; it is
time for acton-sharp, prompt, and decisive acion-on
