by returning devotion to principles, and disre
| garding the appeals of interested or ambitious
leaders-will come back to their ancient faith
and associations. They will stand once more by
the side OF those who have ever stood by the
] country, its Union, and its Constitution. They
1 will be found among the earnest friends of the
great national principle. And that principle
will 60 forward with renewed strength and giant
energies. 1t will swell grandly with the popu-
lar feeling. 1t will carry with it the hearts Of
our countrymen. The great cities and the re.
hottest hamlet will respond to its voice and
obey its impulses 1t viii be felt not only in
our own State, but in every State, and through.
out the Union. 1t will be hailed with delight
4 by all true-hearted men, here and elsewhere.
Prophecy need not predict the result. 1t can
be foreseen by the least observant. It will tri-
umph as surely as that truth and right will
prevail over interest and error. We have now
the beginning of the end-the harbinger Of as.
sured and glorious victory.

Edward G. West now came forward and read
the following resolutions:
ResoI,,ed That III 10 zr ~
York congratulate the democracy of the State and
Union upon the magnificent demonstration OF
democratic strength manifested in the result of
the late election The victory won over the Free
so, faction is unparalleled in the history Of pot
cal contests. Without organization, and relying
solely upon the old established principles Of our
party, we met an INSCRIPTIONS foe fully organ
lied, falsely assuming both our name and our
prlncipes-supported by the cabinet at Washing
ion, and the State administration at Albany--with
the whole power ofth federal and State govern
ments, end reinforced by large levies of money,
wrung from the subordinate officers under both
the result has established the gratifying fact that
the democratic party though unable to overcome
IN the State the vote of the wing and freesol par
ties, yet far exceed the number of the latter.
whilst. in this city, the metropolis not Of this State
alone, but of the whole Union, whose fidelity has
never faltered, we are able TO proclaim, with pride
and gratitude, that the democratic party stands
erect in the ascendant, having heated the wings
by upwards Of two thousand and the freesoilers
by nearly seven thousand votes
Resolred, That the late election has demon.
strated that it is the wish and conviction
Of the democracy Of this State that the Senate Of
the United States, for the preservation of State
rights, and for the rebuke Of the cabinet which
has dared TO violate them, should refuse TO con.
firm the appointment Of Heman J. Redfield az col
iector Of this port. And Also that the President Of
the United States should for his own fame and
the success of the democratic party dismiss
his present cabinet at his earliest possible conve
nience.
Resoired, That the late election has also demon.
strated that the mere possession Of the building
known as Tammany Hall, is not necessary to
democratic success. That the democratic masses
contrary 10 the expectations of the freesoil lead
ers, who have obtained its possession have looked
for principles and men, and have forsaken the
building, when the building ceased to be both de.
cent and democratic, the resort of rowdies and
convicts, and the temple Of freesoil. We hail
with pleasure the design Of erecting new hail.
where honest men and good citizens can assemble
in devotion TO good principles

guished gentlemen, but owing to their great
number and length, the reading Of them was
dispensed with.
