NEW YORK PoIITC>,-Wc copy from the New
lOrk Times an article touching the late demo
cratic divisions in New York. The whole as
pect of affairs with the "tcrrfcd' and .uu-
terrified democracy Of that State is of mix
ed and specified character. The mere fact that
the party headed by John Van Buren, in New
! DIRK is regarded as the true democratic party.
and that the one led 10y Daniel s. Dickinson is
the I. boiling "aEolition = faction. as il is
provcn to he by a long array of witnesses with
the Washington MON at their head. is mon
strosltv that Earnum should lose no time in So
curing for lis museum. to be placed among the
'ror figures. Dickinson is determined not TO
die in that way. as his friends resolved at Svr;,-
cusr that they would not go into convention
with the Soits. at the risk of their mortal lives
so the leader takes the stump. and calls on
every Hard in the State to follow to the fight at
the Eallot-boy, in November, where the fear of
lhowie-knivcs viii not molest them A few
days since, Mr.. Dickinson addressed his friends
at Buffalo. The Commercial says of it -
= There was full meeting. and the fac, of the
oldest democrats in the city might he seen in
the crowded hall. The address was crthusias-
tically checrcd. and the roar of human voices
must have reached the CustOn-IIousc on the
south cast. and TO the Post Office on the north
west. The proceedings of the Uunkers at
Syracuse. was ratified.
The following extract from Dickinson s speech
is fair sample of the whole:
Il respect every man who differs from me
honestly: dcspisc those who go crawling ike
snails over the sand. leaving their slimy track
behind bear 10 personal wound on account
OF my political career. My accounts / settle as
90. believing that short rcckonings make long
friends. With those who have honestly oppos-
ed me. | am always glad 10 he rcconclcd but
will have nothing TO do with a hollow and
hcartless coalition. We have found this pre-
tended union cheat and q failure-an utter
waste of time, except for the experience il
teaches. 1t is nothing but political horse Jock
cying. Many honest men, it is true, fell into it
innocentiy many may be in it now But it
has written disgrace upon the democratic par
ty. and the sooner it is forgotten the better en-
cept so far as it teaches us to avoid it for the
future
As another sign that the Hards do not in
tend to give it MP so,' we notice pithy letter
of Greene {. Bronson, the Collector of the port
of New York. He had been invited TO attend
and address the Soft Convention at Tammany
Hall. \ single paragraph will suffice to ex-
plain the intent aud meaning of the whole:
NEW YORK, Sept. 22. 1853.
"GENTIEMEN,-I have received your invita-
ton to address a meeting of the democracy of
the city at Tammany Hall, on Friday evening.
and to participate with you in 'ratifying our
State ticket, meaning the ticket which was
last nominated at the recent Syracuse COnvcn-
ton. Although it must be known to YOU that
| am not in the habit Of addressing political as
semblies, candOr requires me to add, that | do
not intend, in any form, to support the ticket
As lover of honesty in politics, as well as in
