this place, where | had business in tho Court of
Appeals, was honored with Your invitation TO
attend meeting Of the democracy Of New York
city Mt the Metropolitan Theatre, on the evening
Of the 2th instant, TO take into consideration the

gagemenis here viii not permit my acceptance of
your invitation, for ! would gladly Join you in
discussing the proposed subjects. The occasion
cannot fail 10 he both interesting and profitable,
cor u will furnish glorious opportunity to review
the fruits Of the bastard 'union and harmony
policy which in an evil moment, under the qui-
dance of mistaken and sinister counseIs, was
embraced by the National Democracy in I849--a
policy which prevented the union Of the honest
masses by the grouping Of active, and huckster-
ing leaders, and has made tho political history
of the State byword and reproach. But for
this fatal error, the democratic party of New
York would have been az united and strong in
1855. as Il was In the days OF General jackson,
Lot, then, the history Of the past admonsh for
the future. There was never a time when the re-
turn of the democratic party TO power was more

DOFFALo, June 70, 1000.
GENTLEMEN: 1 regret that cannot accept your
invitation to attend and address the mass meet
ing of the National Democracy of New York, to
be held on the 27th instant, although it would
afford me great pleasure to be present at such
meeting, If for no other purpose than quietly to
participate in the expression of opinion as to the
condition and prospects of our party, which,
doubt not, will be given on that OCCASION
The resolutions Of the Republican General
Committee, adopted on the It'll instant--a copy
of which you enclosed to me-were brought to
my notice before the receipt of your favor OF the
18th. In all the propositions which they contain,
relating to matters not merely local in their char
acter, regard them a correct exposition of
sound Democratic doctrine; and refer to them
generally as an expression Of my own views upon
the subjects embraced in such propositions.
trust the action of the committee win receive
the unanimous approval of the electors for whom
they assume to speak; and that at the meeting TO
which you have invited me, all communication or
sympathy with the SO called s'American party''
will be so clnphatically repudiated as to prevent
any future attempts to mold the National Demo-
cratic party responsible for promulgating or ap-
proving principles as much at war with the OBJ
jects for the attainment of which that party was

From Greene 9. bronson.

a NEW YORK, June 26, 1855.
lGENTLEMES As it is many years since | at
tended general political gathering, or had any
political aspirations,you will not think it strange
that ! decline your Invitation for Wednesday
evening. My opinions upon the leading ques-
tions of the day are already before the public
and need not be repeated.
Democrat and Democracy are words Of no
value to the people when used with d single view
to the spoils ofvanquished opponents; bur the
success of Democratic principles is matter ofthe
utmost Importance to all. 1t is the only certain
means of resisting the fanatcism of the times,
correcting errors in Government, and perpetual
ing free institutions. Whatever may be done for
the attainment Of those desirable ends will meet
with the hearty concurrence Of your obedient
servant, GREENE C. BRONSON.
