From the Catskil IN. " Recorder.
The Convention-Our 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 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-
cipes again in this State, and to redeem it
from the hands of those who have plundered
It's hnancies, wasted its resources, and disgraced
our legislative annals by the passage of foolish,
weak and summary laws. The convention was
we'll attended, and great enthusiasm and cor
diality prevailed among the members. Never
before did convention meet under brighter
auspices-never did a convention more nobly
perform its work.
The Democratic party is now an indssoluble
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
cessfully will resist every attack from foes.
The principles of the party to-day are what
they were in the days of Jefferson, jackson,
and Monroe, and the same spirit that animated
the party then, anmates the party now; the
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, and regarding each with dstrust,
utter the reproach, 81 am holier than thou-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
,nI-o L. Il
bearing aloft that noble flag that never knew
dishonor, can rush on in ardor to conquest and
victory
No more do sectional issues divide the party,
no longer no demogogues keep the party asun-
derl 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
II. 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 oftheirticket. With that noble Jacksonian
Democrat, and tried statesman James Bucb
anan, heading their national ticket, and Amasa
}. 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.
