From an examination Of the host Of pronlne
men who nssembled in this city on the 24th Of Ju .
ultmo, all seceders from the socaiied democrat
party, it is rendered certain that many thousands
votes in This State which were given for Frank |
Pierce will lie withheld from James Buchana}
Nearly every county in the State was fully reprI
scented by men Of strength and indonitaole persI
yerance. They may be considered rs having bee
strong pillars in the democratic stru,,ure; and witt
out them the State could not have been carried ii
Pierce in 1852. They comprise the Wadworth}
Fields, Jenkipses, Hunts, Barl)ws, Van Dyck}
Welches Jervlses, Loomises, Dsnistons, Floyd
Shervoods, Coddiugtons, Tituses, Hogebooms, Pol
tiers, Sherills, Growers, Crookss, Hurlouts, CARROLL
Townsends, Woosters, Roots, Rithbuns; and thej
coadjutlrs and compeers Throughout The state, u
every school district, number many thousands VIII
repudate the Cincinnati platform AMI candidateI
The men who assembled on the 24th ult. are wei
known az resolutc and determined politicians; theI
state fairly their reasons Tor regulating the Lated
day democracy; having been most grossly and viaII
ously deceived by tue present administration, in I'd
lation 10 the slavery question, and as Blu ,LanGu
mounted the same platform, they boldly denolncl
the Cincinnati nominee. The seceders now, All
among the original architects of tie moo extensoI
slavery platform erected at Buffalo in lS49. The|
declare their adherence still 10 toe principles then
enuncia.id, ard believe now as firmly as they dill
then. that slavery should be restricted within thI
limits Of the States where it exists.
Now, look over the na,nes oil the original fre|
sellers who figured ut the Syracuse Cow ention oil
the 30th instant. The chairman, d.. Grain, who's
son the der ocIa's have given an editorial chail
Cochrane; Lemuel Stetson, VINO ian on the sol
rG.t faas and Ia hos ma; Trl
another trial year hencc Benjamin +. Angel
who the United States Senate decided was unit a
represent the government at Honolulu; and fen
ether very small lights, such as R1wel, OF West
chester; rompkins, OF Richmond; Piper, Of Niagd
Ia; Jewet,, Of Monroe, and Porter, Of Cayugd
whose influence is not Of the eas. importance
Now, compare the names of those who ATTENDED
10th conventions, and II will be discovered in al
instant where the strength OF the radical democrs
cy lies Toe convention of the 3Oth was but iecbl]
represented, and II the softs we're left on
Of the enumeration, there would not have beet
coinorsrs guard LETT. And with the strength
oil the soits what could they accomplish? The soft
ara Landowners determined upon having AddisoI
Gardner a. their candidate fer Governor. TheJ
started with sixtynine votes and ended with eight
gain OF oDy eleven votes-a.ter several deteI
rircd contests, leaving ore hundred aud hfty-siz
against them. Then they completely hzzled ou.
ard went IN for half shell candidate.
No rejecting iran can fail to discover, from thes,
facts that the iafnburIers-the" originai Ja ,obs'
received some one hundred and ifty Thousand
votes. In every contest since with the hunkers thu
barniurners have beaten them in some instance
most shan efully too. They viii poll at the ensuing
election seventy thousand votes. These are pledges
for Fremont. And should the republicans Domi
nete Abjsh Menn or BENJAMIN 4. Bu'lcr for Gov
eIIor, then that vote win be increased from ten 4
twenty per cent. Then !. must be perfectly appa
rent that The withdrawal q such quantity OF vote
hom the "cousolidatedn democracy and trans.errin,
them TO the republican side will contribute essen
tally towards giving tho electoral vote Of New Yorl
10 Fremont. The heretofore strongholds OF the de
mocfaey, such ar 81 Lawrence, Herkimer, Ononda
"a, OsWeGo, Madison and Oneida, which in forme
tines rolled up their tens Of thousands for tn
Gtmocraiic nominations, win now turn th
cale as much against that party. And in
Monroe, Oileans, Genesee, Niagara, Etc and Cnau
taHqre where the barnburners are very Numerous
they will essentially aid the rcpubli an ticket. 4
large plumber Of newspapers In 81. Lawrence, Erie
Herkimer and other localities, heretofore faithful 4
Democracy, have recently been compelled, from tn
force and pressure Of public opinion, TO declare Il
favor OF Fremont.
These signs are unmistakeable. They certainl,
indicate that party pressure no longer keep th
radicals within the so called democratic fold: an
although they may at the next election contribut
their strength against the democratic candidates,
il 10 evidence that they will ultimately throI
Themselves into the power Of Weed Seward 4
Co. The radicals occupy the same position they d
eight years sco ard arc not 10 be driven from IL
the wings, by abandoning their name and principles
choose TO adopt those proclaimed 50 VIGOROUSLY a
and stand upon -they 90 70 the radical free soilers
not inc consistent free soers 10 them. The demo
cratic papers labor under great deluson when the
state that the Convention Of the 9th ut, OF which
james I. Wa5sworh was President. wiil not dras
of many votes from the Buchanan ticket.
