sPired by tho confidence they have ever in
dnlged in the correctness of the principles they
maptain-and Strengthened by the hearty and
unanimous action of the National Convention,
which has presented for their support, true,
able, patriotic and worthy statesmen-men of
known ability and tried worth, the whole par
ty in one solid phalanx will rally to their sup
port, and achieve victory worthy of a nation,
who justly claims the ascendancy in the canse
of democracy, progress, liberty and equal
rights and equal privileges in the fullest and
broadcast sense of these terms.
We give some extracts from other papers,
showing the "yJfre Of the flint" in other portions
of our Republic. As for New England, she
will do her ,chole duty, and MAINE must lead
the uan.
First hear what the N. Y Express says =
1.-The democratic mass meeting in and
about Tammany Hall, and the Park, last night,
was by far We most numerous, the most en-
thuslastlc and harmonious demonstration they
have had there at any time during the last
eight years. For our own part, we have never
seen so imposing manifestation since the hal
cyon days of Andrew Jackson, when regular
nominations was the creed BY which Tammany
Hall had learned to live and die.''
| To the above we may add an extract from
the New York Times, Wing paper of the
Seward School .....
The democratic party, North and South,
is uniled IN his support. Not whisper will
be heard against him from any quarter of the
democratic ranks. He will receive their INIT
ed, harmonious and energetic support This
act alone is quite enough 10 show the wings
that they have no easy game to play-no holt
day fight, 10 be waged simply for their own
amusement. They will find it essential to Sc
lect their strongest candidate, put hiuf in the
strongest possible position, and secure for him
the largest possible VOTE"
