The Convention-Ou Ticket.

1t is with no small degree Of pride and salts.
faction that we present to our readers the name
of Amasa J. Parker, as the Democratic candi-
date for Governor of the State Of New York.
1t is a name that is not unknown to the world.
Wherever the State Of New York has repu-
tation there is also known the name Of Amasa
j. Parker.
The Convention that nominated him was
made up by both sections Of the Democracy,
who met together in friendly and cordial union
to secure the ascendency Of Democratic prin.
ciples again in this State, and to redeem it
from the hands Of those who have plundered
its 6nancies, wasted its resources, and dsgraced
our Legislative annals by the passage of foolish,
weak and summary laws. The convention was
well attended, and great enthusiasm and cor.
diality prevailed among the members Never
before did convention meet under brighter
auspices-never did convention more noby
perform its work.
The Democratic party is now an indissouble
unit; and stands as it stood in days of yore
robed in beauty, clad in panoply of principles
that are impervious to all weapons, and sue
cessfuly will resist every attack from foes.
The principles of the party to-day are VIVA,
they were in the days of Jefferson, jackson
and Monroe, and the same spirit that animated
the party then, animatcs the party now the
Washington sentinel. [volume] (City of Washington [D.C.]) 1853-1856, 1856-08-14

same spirit that dictated the course of the
party in the early days Of the Republic con
trolled the action Of the Syracuse Convention.
Democrats need no longer stand aloof from
each other, aud regarding each with distrust,
utter the reproach II am hoier than ihou-I
am the Simon Pure Of the party-I am a bet
ter Democrat than you" but casting aside all
past differences, all old prejudices, each can
take brothers hand in cordial union, and
bearing aloft that noble flag that never knew
dishonor, can rush on in ardor TO cong uest and
victory
No more do sectional issues divide the party
no longer no demogogues keep the party asun-
der! The people in their might have spoken
and in words that could not be disregarded
have said we will be united" The result
has shown the power Of the people.
The browning glory of the doings OF the
Syracuse Convention is the nomination Of
Judge Parker. He is favorably known in every
quarter of the State, as jurist, an eloquent
advocate, an able statesman, and shing light
among the Judiciary. 1t is an honor to the
party, TO the State that he has been nominated
to fill an office of which the weak head Myron
III. Clark is now the occupant. The difference
between the two men illustrates well the differ
ence in principles between the Democratic and
Wing parties. They personify their respective
parties ably. Of the remainder of the ticket
which stands at the head of our columns, we
have not time now to give an account, but shall
honor it soon.
The Democrats of New York can well feel
proud oftheirtick With that noble Jacksonian
Democrat, and tried statesman James Buch-
anan, heading their national ticket, and Amasa
j. Parker as their candidate for Governor, and
their candidates for the remaining State offices
men of tried and true integrity, they can well
ask the SURFACES of their fellow countrymen,
and go into the conflict with courage undaunted
and zeal that shall overcome all obstacles.
We predict the most triumphant success of the
Democratic ticket in this State.

The Union of the Democratic Party.

The Democratic party of New York is no
longer discovered and divided, but is now
unit, and IN the present great contest it pre-
sents single front. The party is united in
organization and in ticket, in principle and in
action, in platform and in candidates
The result of the State Convention which as.
sembled at Syracuse last week. was most aus.
picious. No coalition was formed-Lno mere
bargain for the sake Of office-no negotiations
between hostile forces, but a spontaneous COM
ing together homogeneous meeting Of De-
mocrats with like purposes and feelings, and
animated by a common object and aim, and as
q result each Convention, although assembled
under separate calls, Immediately on their pre-
liminary organization, passed resolutions in.
viting the other to meet them in one common
united Convention, for the purpose of consoli.
dating the Democratic party Of the State into
q single organization, and the nomination of n
single State and electoral ticket, and this was
done, and with no discord in the united body,
with no harsh words, no strife as 10 men, prin.
ciples, or measures.
1T was glorious union Of the Democracy of
the State for the defense of the glorious union
of the States-for q strong and vigorous de-
Tense OF the Constitution against the Black
hRepublican cohorts and their allies, the
Know-nothings. 1t was the offering of minor
dfferencies of opinion upon the altar Of a com
mon country, and to preserve that country in
tact, with no stripe torn and no star dimmed.
Such was the union of the Democratic party at
Syracuse, in every respect glorious and an
important result, and one which cannot fail TO
have an important bearing on the politics OF
the State and the result of the coming cleo.
ton.
We are informed that great feeling and gen.
uine enthusiasm pervaded the Convention and
that both by Hards and Sohs it was hailed as
the harbinger of peace and victory. as the be.
ginning of better days, to result beyond doubt
in a brilliant triumph to the Democratic party
in the State.

The Union of the New York Dcmocrpc,

The fact has already traversed the Union
with the speed Of lightning, that the Democra-
cy Of New York are once more and forever
united. This result, which has for a long time
been the desire of every Democrat in the State,
and to accomplish which this journal has stead
lily and confidently labored for nearly two years,
is full of hope and promise for the cause Of the
Constitution and the Union. The enemies of
the party had predicted that it would be i'm
possible to unite and harmonic it; but no one
who was present at the deliberations Of the
convention, can doubt that this Union is one
based on principle, and which no man can sun
der. 1t was apparent, before the organization
Of the two conventions, that no power could

during the entire session the utmost harmony
and good feeling prevailed. The efforts oil
