true patriot in the State and nation. The man
ner in which the union and consolidation Of the
two wings of the party was effeeted-the kne
and conciliatory feelings which characterized
the efforts of all the delegates, give sure guar
antee of the perpetuity and harmony SO happily
consummated.
There are no longer Hards and Sofs; such
terms are now obsolete, and we hope we may
never hear them mentioned again as party
distinction.
The proceedings of the united convention
were characterized throughout with the mosl
kindly feelings There was less contrarieiy Of
feelings and opinions manifested in regard to
candidates aud party policy than have been
usual in ordinary State conventions.
The nominations presented for the support
of the United Democracy of the State, taken
as o whole, comprise elements of strength and
popularity never before equalled in State
nomination.
The nomination of Amasa j. Parker, as the
Democratic candidate for Governor of the
State, is everywhere hailed with satisfaction.
Every Democratic heart rati6es with unteigned
approval the excellent selection made by the
convention. 1t another event which inspires
a more confident hope of success and will ami.
mate the united and vigilant action of the
whole party. All intelligent electors will feel
a just pride in supporting nominee so we'll
qualified for the high station for which he has
been fairly designated by one Of the most pa
fr,n nd .nta Al
ever convened in the State.
Judge Parker has been long and favorably
known to the people of the State He has
held several official places, all of which he has
filled with eminent ability and faithfulness.
As statesman and jurist he ranks with the
first men OF the nation, and is equally distn
guished as scientific lawyer and profound
scholar. His reputation for morality and gen.
crosby is without a blemish. He thoroughly
understands every interest and the wants and
wishes of all classes of citizens He is, en-
phatically, great, faithful, and good man.
His frank aud atfable department has insured
him the respect and confidence of all his per-
sonal acquaintance, and the esteem of the
whole people, and his political opponents will
scarcely be able to find a disparagng circum-
stance in the whole history of his life He is
truly and deservedly popular, and his popularity
is substantial, being based on exalted talent
and long course Of correct and faithful Off
cial conduct. Cool and discreet and always
true to the well-considered convictions of a
strong and cultivated intellect, he is emnently
the man for the present emergencies of the
State
The vigilance and wisdom with which he has
ever discharged his official duties afford the
highest guarantees that under his adminstra-
ton the conduct of the affairs of the State
would be regular, guarded, and safe; that
every just right will be respected and every
interest fostered with fairn ess and mpartiality
The nomination of Judge Vanderbilt Of
Kings County for Lieut.. Governor, is equally
as fortunate as that of Governor. The nom-
nation of Mr.. Vanderbilt will be hailed with
unusual JOY and satisfaction by his numerous
friends in all the river counties of the State Ii
is confidently expected that large number of
influential voters, not belonging to the party,
will cheerfuly vote and work for his election
His valuable services as State Senator, and
his unbounded personal popularity, induced
the Syracuse Convention to nominate him by
reclamation. They could not have made a
more popular nomination.
With such popular nominations for State of.
fcers, who can doubt the complete triumph
and success of the party at the approaching
election? Let every Democrat put on his po-
litical armor for vigorous and determined
fight, and 60 forth with determination to meet
and subdue the traitorious enemies of the Union
and the Constitution.
