| GENTLEMEN regret that shall not be able 10 ac-
cept your invitation 10 participate with the Tamnany
Society OF New York in the festival which they propose
hold Monday the 9th of July next The object Of
the festival am pleased 10 will be 10 confirm and
consolidate the union OF the great republican party upol
the basis OF principle, and thus 10 secure to that party
glorious triumph in November next. In such design,
gentlemen with all my heart bid you God speed Lei
thoroughly, and speedily Unite them upon the ancient
and approved principles OF our pary-prncples that are
in conformity to the constitution and national 10 their
spirit; and then the deepest and kndes sympathes Of
your republican brethren in all parts OF the Union will
gather warm and thick around you Thus united. you
will doubtless have The pleasure and the honor OF placing
the Empire State of the American Union again in the
publican line where, side by side with Virginia, New
Hampshire, Alabama, and the other democratic States,
she has so often marched TO battle and 10 victory.
It's true that principles have never been defeated
when party has been united in their Defence and in
my humble judgment, they never will be; and why
should we moi all be united now' Are those princi-
PIES pure and lofty they in days gone by
and do they not still tend uphold the constitution, 10
elevate the people, and TO advance the glory and pros
periy of the country 'and in the panes day OF the
public, were purer better men than Pierce and
King presented for the suages OF the people franklin

trade is sander, and whose labor Of love is defame
Such men may, in the language OF veteran democrat

Ol VIM r. King ! need say nothing. He is so well
and favoraby known that SANDER itself shrnks from
an attack upon him. Upon such principles and such
men the old republican party ought again 10 be united
and united il is secure of success
need say nothing to you OF Virginia. The star oil
her democracy never sets, and knows eclipse. She
is still firm and seadfast IN the faith and, indeed. look
ing from this point TO the South the prospect is almost
without cloud, Never did any ticket receive such a
in the southern States Pierce and King will prob
ably get in November next The unfinching Northeast
and the gallant Northwest will doubtless be with u.s.
But wish TO have New York also. We wish 10 |
hear her exulani raying cry in the midst OF The fight
and when the battle has been los, and wish 10
see The glorious Nag OF democracy waving in triumph
over the broad and fair fields OF The Empire State
