the public mind has been not little puzzled to
know what New York Democracy il, aud wherein
il does precisely consist. These doubts have at
length been removed. At recent meeting AZ
Taumany Hall to jolhfy over the election Of Bu-
chanan, New. York "pure" Democracy was defined
so that be who runs may read. Here is one Of the
resolutions passed st that meeting:
Pfsolre9 That next 10 the success of Buchanan
end Breckenridge the brightest and mot signal
achieve men; of ,he Democratic party at this election Is
the triumphant election of Fernando Wood Not only
New Iolk but the State and the Union may wen be
proud oi this result Though his name has long been
sssoci-ed with the leading Vi the party as that OF
who has without fatering or hesita' cy, at all
mes stood erect and firm in the maintenance OF con-
stitutioDa principles unCOntamnated with the slightest
Free-So heIesy, lie IL placed in the very front
ranks OF the live of the day, whose success has
been obtained by the fIee-wl oefDgiot sound pub
lie sentiment and not % az 60 npromise WITH the en-
the Democracy Of the nation a. man whose whole
political lie has been consistent in the advocacy OF
Democratic principles. and who, through the dark and
ry ing periods Of political estraB gemen's and heresies
al the North has N air tanned Il constitutional rights
OF every section Of our country He stands as mon.
ument and representative ola pure Democracy IN
Nex-YoIk which viii, under bis counsel5, and follow
ing t1e energetic action of his example, redeem her
from lie dark stigma of modern Black Republican.
im which now unfortunately, res.s upon her fame Is
q State
BY the unanimous consent Of all the magnates of
the party including their late respectable candidate
for Governor, who made jubilant speech on the
occasion, pure Democracy" in NewYOrk is
represented and typifed BY Fernando Wood, whose
example the rest of the party propose to follow and
there by to redeem the State OF New-York from
''the dark stigma Of modern Black Republi-
csnsm.'"
We are 10 understand, then, that by a solemn
resolution Of Tammany Hall, the first requisite for
"pure" New-York Democrat is to cheat his BUSH
ness friends by altered bills and false invoices. This
certainly IL carrying out principles 10 their legiti-
mate eDd ultimate results. il seems unreasonable
that those WHOSE chief political occupation it is TO
delude the people by false representations out si
their votes, should serve apprenticeship in the
first place, in the vocation OF cheating their BUSH
ness partners out of their money. Indeed, there Is
The greater propriety in this from the fic;, that
rext TO practicDg tecep.ions upon Tho people, the
chief business of our "pure' NegYoIk Demo
Gratis appears to be that Of taking ia each other.
In what part icular way TammaDy Hall proposes to
avail itself of the example of Mayor Wood to recover
the political control Of the State does not precisely
appear. Moyor Woods recen. reelection was, is i.
commonly understood, considerably furthesed by
an exercise Of bulyi-m and violence al the polls
Of which the police under bis control, if net actv,
particirators in it, at least silent and qpie
spectators. Does TSmmsny Hall intend to recon
mend the introduction into the country districts o
