The report of the committee Oh address WAS thea

the CT AMMAN Of the committee. showing his usual
courtesy and high toned dignity OF manner, and him.
self ready in ADVANCE to oppose the address unless
the committee had concluded 10 report his long rode
hobby-Hon. d. b. Tayior res0lutloHs-as the only
idea Of democracy known to the party. The address
having been read, there was nothing in it to find
fault with, except that it pronounced all persons

the basis OF the Baltimore platform aud inaugural,
and declared those individuals who regarded the
battle for mems pers ,nal ascendancy ot paramount
importance TO the success of the national party. a.
not alone unworthy Of leadership, but desru tive to
the best interests of the democracy This portion Of
the ADDRESS, Mr. Taylor said, might be applied to
some Of his friends, and 10 some Of the great
orbits about which his mind continually revolves

gnage Of the address was clear and explicit, and
could only apply TO those gentlemen who occupied
the posi- ion described, AID that if he bis friends
were in that category it was undoubtedly meant for
Them but that it WAS far from the intention OF the
of the address to hit anybody that did not feel

against the national platform and the national party,
as II they ought in all honesty to have drabbing.

All ii accomplished az the fruit of an adamantne
hard triumph to pass the three FIRST resolutions
adopted at the Astor H0use-propose to censure the

Nominating Convention to be held at Syracuse,

unless its should tally with that policy which
looks to permanent and entire ACKNOWLEDGMENT Of
the democracy.
for one, am not ready to run the gauntlet upon
this Quixotic race. While hold an honest and I'M
equivocal adherence to the principles of the party,
as settled by the party to be not only binding upon
every democrat but essential to his fellowship in the
party, discard airy and every anti democratic and
disorgaLizing attempt to drive the democracy from
its usages ard from its adherence noinationsand
principles into the anomaly Of personal squabble
after party dctation Az principles are lost sight Of
individuals rise into Importance, in the difficulties
which are too often the prelude 10 those sanguinary
conflicts in shch personal ambition outrides all oh
s'acies and all principles, to rule over the ruin it
creates. Respectfully yours
