From the Memphis Appeal. The Democracy of New York

The Democracy of New York large and enthusiastic meeting of the De- mocracy of New York assembled at Tammany Hall on the 7th inst, which was addressed by Hon Jas. E. Stuart of Michigan and chief just ice Williams of Iowa. Even the Herald admits that "so far as numbers went the meeting was all thatcould have been desired by its managers Tammany overhowed." Nor does there seem from the reported proceedings, to have been any lack of enthusiasm and harmony. The spirit of the meeting was excellent. The reso- lutions adopted will meet with the hearty ac- cord of the Democracy of the United States | They are perspicous, forcible, pointed and com prehensive, embracing all the issues which are likely to excite the attention of the country for the next two years, and evading nothing that ought to be touched on.
 The following are the resolutions, which were enthusiastically passed:
 ! The following resolutions were then read and adopted:
 ResolUed, That we, the Union democrats of New York ,who, meeting here to. night without distinction ofsect come for no purpose of distrac ton or Reorganization; with no view to advance the claims of any man for the Presidential succession, but to sit down and reason togeth- CT, as men who when united have hitherto proved themselves invincble in every political contest.
 Resozrea That the population, the financial, commercial, and agricultural position of New York, the Empire State of this Republic, justly entitle her to a commanding voice in the democratic councils of the nation. This proud place, inherited since the time of Clinton, impo- ses upon her the duty of vindcating, by inde- pendent and fearless action, her democratic birthright
 Re8o1ced, That the past has sufficiently prov cd to all right minded men that nothing but personal prejudices or patizanship divide IS. The present tells us that there arc no material points of difference between us; and the future warns us in language of unmstakable simplici- ty, that our hopes of success do not depend up- on distractions, much less do they depend up. on quarrels amongst ourselves. It is needless to recapitulate the capability of the united democracy of New York It is fact so plain that every man who runs may read" of it in the historical records of their glorious triumphs The duty before us is therefore clear and sim pIe and every man who professes democratic faith ought to make the sacrifice of his parti- zanship for the sake of that union and harmony upon wich alone the harmony of the Union de- pends.
 Resolge4, That the "huc and cry'' of "for- eign intlueace' in our midst, instead of seeking to impose onerous obligations and restraints on the poor cmisrant, who in his escape from ty- Tanny and oppression, comes to contribute his ,i +l, ,c4 of the country, ought rather to be directed against those pampered minons of English ar tocracy whose interference with the domestic institutions of the United States has had for its sole object sectional agitation and the even tual disunion of our republic (Cheers) It is against this species of foreign influence that the democracy of New York pledge themselves al- ways manfully to battle.
 ResolCed That the Union democracy of New York, adhering to the true American doctrine of, Monroe, repudate any line of governmental policy which does not resist to the extent of the < life and fortunes'' of the nation, all European interference with the affairs of this continent, and which will not resent to the utmost, the encroachments which are sought to be made by the Allie, Powers of Western Europe in Chi na, the Sandwich Islands, Central America and Cuba (Applause.)
 l ResolUed That it is time for the democracy of New York, in view of the absorbing policy of the Allied Powers of Great Brtian and France to impose a check upon their West h. dian aggresslons and to define the American understanding of the line of conduct that should be pursued by us as a nation.
 Reso < hereore, That as the unanimous voice of the Union democracy of New York, we hold the acquisition of the island of Cuba to be of paramount importance not only to the safety and integrity of the States, but as neces- sary, in geographical point of view as was the possession of the delta of the Mississippi to the commercial greatness and honor of the coun- try. Great cheerng)
 ResoIcea That the opinious we have expres- scd are nseparable from patriotism, and the principles we have announced are as enduring as the republic. If not acted on now they will be hereafter and must form an issue, and per haps the sole issue, in all future political con- tests. Regarding, therefore, the future as fraught with events charged with the destiny, and per haps with the perpetuity, not only of the de- mocratic party, but of the Union itself, we in- vite democrats all over the land to unite with us, and in a common cause do battle against a common enemy.
