The New York nion Democratic Address.
We copy from the Albany Alias the address issued by

read with interes, out Of New York we'll in it.
The general fact has already reached every portion Of

Stale have finally agreed 10 disagree. and thereby to

States will be solcilous TO know the reasons However
excited partisans in New York may upon the sub

may suggest Tor result utterly fatal to all hopes Of
democratic ascendency there. there a few obvious
questions, which democrats who under passion

sble for the divisions OF the New York democracy.
between which there understood TO be substantial
difference OF creed, to together in s4o and unite
on platform and on ticket! How was possible for the

furnished by that address We will not undertake TO

but we will venture now to say that those prominent
who shall be believed be responsible for dis
astfous result will be sadded with responsibility from
which they will not soon escape. The calm. impartial,
unbiased judgment OF The national democracy will be
just and il will administer rebuke to The faeous spiri
which has ruled in the late Syracuse convention whose
moral force will be irresistible Our friends in other
States will begin TO make their calculations win their
future democratic tumphs without the aid Of the once
