NO one doubts the objects for which they made
their appearance At Syracuse. Several OF
us have personal knowledge OF these men,
their course OF life and the at Syracuse,
and have stated no fact which, If so fortunate as
TO be called on to prove, we could not suostantiate
in court Of justice. We conceive that snch iacts as
these iced no comment And If they do, that no
one can make apply Just and Indignant COM
mel tary more forciby tnan the orieriovIs ana IN
teligent communities, which are the pride OF our
State and the safeguard of it free Institutions. lt
ought TO be expected that politicians, who resort to
such auxaries and instruments to overaHe aud on
tain forcibe control OF general committees, or of
town, county and State conventions, would scruple
at no means % oouneract the general feeling of re-
probation which their conduct has produced, or
would hesitate 10 epploy any article or effort to OBJ
tain votes for the ticket they have nominated Bat
the peaceful citizens Of the interior will not fail to
that by encouraging al organization whose ele-
ment force, and whose associates rowdes they
invite similar lnterferences everywhere and all
casions; and that, ii successful now, they may be
expected to encounter violence instead OF the or.
DERBY ballot, IN their own quiet meetings and
neighborboods.
No one will have the hardihood to deny
that the cabinet at Washington, so far as it can
be held accountable for it's official employees,
was largely represented In the affairs OF the
Syracuse convention; nor will it be denied, we
think, that such employees merit tce distlnction
separation there II il shall seem surprising to the
national democracy OF this State, who have ever
stood with consistent irmness an1 unquestionable
fidelity TO the support OF the sound natioa al princi
pies which rest the foundations OF the democratic
party aud the cause of free government, and have
been foremost among those who have ever indicated
both against the ruthless assaults of sinister agtators
and infatuated fanatics that the prominent friends
of those principles have been singled out by high
dignitaries of the government objects Of censure
ard threatened dismissal, while other officials actors
in the scenes we have des ,ribed, are not only al
lowed to pass unrebuked, but claim official immunity
and approval-let 1t be remembered that truth and
Justice travel slow, and that it is no new thing for
power, remote from localities and surrounded by
transformation and perversionby The artful false.
hoods OF the designing spec ;h-maker, or the inter
ested IA es OF hungry eXpectsnts of oce-tOfsll into
mistakes which, although they may work prejudice
and evil for the monent time will assuredly correct
The facts which we state-the extraordinary con-
diton Of things under which the national democracy
offer TO the electors sound national ticket-the
firm and sincere friends of our canal systematic
ticket of able and ire proachable citizens, with
Clinton at its head will convince every sincere de-
mocrat of the high necessity OF the most active and
energetic effort in the approaching canvass We ap-
peal TO you, then, by every consideration Of duty
by every Impulse OF justice to yourselves aud your
cause--by an Indignant repugnance to the tyranny
Of demagoguism and determination to resist the
INSCRIPTIONS despotsm OF the instigators and en-
ployers of convict violence to give to this contest
your undivided personal attention. IL is Of the first
Importance that you complete your organizations in
the owns and cOunties-visit, address, and in
form the freely circulate the facts-insprit
and aDimste your friends see that the truth finds
its way into every mans hand, and spare no labor,
nor any proper means, to place the vindication of
your course through the votes Of the electors proud
ly before the country.
One OF two alternatives remains to the national
democracy of this State. They must either yield all
position all political right all they have struggled
to maintain in the past and all just results for tn
future snd consent TO become the vassals and nstru
ments of factious leaders, between whom and them
affinity and association impossible they must
arise in their might and rescue their cause and their
party from the degradation and vassaage with
which they are IL reatened. Choose ye this day be-
tween your enemies and your friends: Choose be-
tween the iron rule of the convict domination Of the
the mask of /" harmony .een humiliation as
nationa and time honered party--and prompt, ener
getic, manly and victorious assertion Of your rights
We doubt not you will rightly choose and vigorously
act. We doubt neither your resolution nor your devo
ton. Thus armed, and thus doing battle, you will
carry terror into the ranks Of motley array OF fac
tons I; you will overthrow the calculating cOmbina-
ton OF interested and oficeseeking leaders you
will thwart the designs Of men who dared the at
tempt for the first time in the history of the Repub
lie, TO control democratic State Convention by
hired DULLES and convicts you will retrieve the re-
trograde course OF four years unnatural and de-
moralizng coalition; you will win back to cordial
and sincere cooperation all who desire to stand and
act in consistent fraternity, upon the liberal consti
tutional principles OF the national democratic party;
your union will be resl and your harmony complete;
you will be invincible.
