The Empire State speaks loud and clear as
follows:
New YoRx FOR GES CAss-We mention
ed some days since, that the two Democratic
Conventions Of New York had both pronounce
ed in favor of Gen. Cass as their candidate for
the Presidency. We give below the resolutions
adopted at those meetings:
At the Old Mems Committee, Augustus
Schell presided, and Jonas B. Phillips and Jo-
seph Hilton, acted as secretaries. The follow
ing resolutions, offered by Alderman Barr, Of
the Sixth ward. were UNANIMOUSLY adopted:
RESOLVED, That the Democratic Republican
General Committee of the city and county of
New York, in view ofthe approaching National
proper to express their opinion on the selection
of candidate to be nominated by that Con-
vention for the Presidency of the United States.
Res0lred, That whilst we recognize among
the candidates mentioned throughout the Union
the names of distinguished democrats, the nom-
nation of either Of whom would be most cher
fully and zealously sustained by the democracy
Of this city, we cannot but recoect the sentl-
ment of the democracy of this city, as evinced
in their resolutions of instruction to the dele
gates to Baltimore, and express our preference
for the nomination Of General Lewis Cass as
the candidate Of the democratic republican par
ty of the Union That, during a long and
eventful life, he has faithfully sustained the prin-
cpes of jefferson and Jackson. In the war of
1912, he upheld on the field of battle the
banner of his country; as Secretary of War
under Gen. jackson, he was found the principal
supporter of the administration of that distin-
guished chief as Minister at Paris, he vIndica.
ted the great right of the freedom of the seas
and as Senator IN Congress, has displayed his
devotion to the Union, his sympathy with the
r. 10 rF hnrk,y n
the old world, and sustained the claim of the
United States to her rank amongst the nations
of the earth. That justice to him and TO our
principles point to him the natural and nation
al standard bearer Of the democracy in the COM
ing contest.
On motion,
Resolred, That the foregoing resolutions be
published in the National Democrat, New Y ork
Herald and Journal of Commerce.
At the Young Mems Committee, MIR. John
Wheeler presided as Chairman, and Thaddens
S. Glover and John A. Smith acted as Secreta-
ries. The following important resolutions were
adopted unanimously, and with great enthusi-
asm.
Resolved, That in Lewis Cass, the Democrat
ic republican young n,ea of the city and county
OF New York, recognize the distinguished citi-
zen, the fearless soldier, the profound juris, the
eminent statesman, and the unimpeachable De-
mocrat.
RESOLVED, That as the local and general rep
resenlatives OF the Democratic republican
young men of this city, we proclaim him as
their choice for the Presidency of the United
States.
Resolrcd, That we and they will regard any
delegate from this city to the Baltimore conven-
ton, who tallers an instant in the exercise Of
every honorable means to secure the nomination
of Lewis CIss, as false to the instruction OF his
constituents, and as unworthy Of their future
confidence.
Rcsotrcd, That while we explicitly express
he decided preference of the Democratic repub
lican young men Of this city for the elevation of
the Senator from Michigan to the highest office
in the gift Of the republic, we as unequvocally
pledge their united support to the candl date Sc
lected by the assembled representatives OF the
Democracy of the nation.
The Herald says:
These resolutions, coming from the young
men, are the more strong, because this commit
tee was supposed to be identified with '.l Dung
America aud Douglas; but it seems there is
not Douglas man upon The entire committee
When adjourning, 8 hearty cheers were given
Tor Lewis Cass.
Something for our German friends from

SIN in EUROPE, while, at the same time, it in no
where inteiteres with the exist ng laws of ma
ions, butt clearly foreslladows to the great
lespo;ic power, tina sthe Democratic sentiment
# America will force lis government to inter-
enc when they, by concerted action among
themselves, TO attempt to destroy ard break
Town those distinct nationatics where freedom
IT'LL exists, merely because they have chosen TO
ound and preserve constitutional forms of gov
,rnmen'. At one time, it was feared that Rus
ia, Austria, Prussia, and France, would call on
Belgium, Holland and Sardinia, to abandon
heir respective constitutions under the threat
i coercion; but the language Of General Cass,
which is taken for that Of the American people,
las put an end TO that apprehension for the pres
mt. The noble old chief of American Democ-
acy has interposed his shield to save the still
urviving Liberties of the continent from the
leadly blow aimcd at them By tic ruthless hands
