Of the Northern, Eastern and Western as wen "a
southern States of the principles of the kansas-Ne Ne-
b,a,ka bill and the doc trnes of civil and religious lb-
crtv which have been violently assailed by Sc
cret notcal order known as the Nothing party
and we hold TO be our highest duty to continue our
Irts in the maintenance and defense of those pruci-
ne. ard the constitutional rights OF every section anu
eyely class Of citizens against their opponents OF every
desciiption whether the socalled Republicans, Know
Noibincs or FusiOnists; and TO this end we look with
confde1ce TO the support and appreciation of all good

Strenth. That though we have encountered IN the
Gid of notcs for upward Of twenty years "a our de-
,ern;red and most effective opponent, the Wing Party,
we cannot fobear the expression OF our regret az It's
death: and we deem due to the memory of gallant
adversary to saw that its open and manly warfare the
national scope of its principles, and the high tone ana
ability of its leader made antagonist worthy OF
the Democracy and that the record of its life con-
rasts wen with that of the secret sectional and mar.
row-mnded factions which have succeeded it, and
which claim TO divide its political inheritance
hiatt tbe President Pierce
has the approval of the Democracy of this State
and the Union manfesing a. It has on every ocea-
sion in which the national honor has been involved,
mcst patriotic and determined spirit exhibiting, IN all
the drpartments vigilance, energy and rigid probity,
protecting the Treasury from corrupt combinations OF
Congress by the exercise of the veto power maintain
ing the cause of Democracy by the annunclatlon OF
sound opinion and the example OF g0od government
Mn: That the delegation selected by this Conveu.
vettion 10 represent the State of New York in the Ma
tional Convention, hereby instructed to cast the
vote of this State n unit and that majority OF the
delegates are hereby authorized to ill all vacancies
occurring in their body.
Such is the history of the elevation the down.
ward progress and sudden subsistence of the late
soft '.DemOcrutic party, and such are the ut
terlv irreconcilable official declarations on the
most vital questions of our politics, which they
| have from first to last put forth. We have not
! space TO-DAY for the reflections which remark
able political catastrophe is well fitted to call
out, but in view of the Developments thus made
of the moral and political bottom of men. who
call themselves gentlemen and Democrats, and who
aspire to rule this State and country, We cannot
but repress our feeling that more loathsome Illus
tration of human baseness and sersality has not
often been witnessed. OF course, no member OF
the party who is not utterly corrupt and degraded
can ioin iu this last revolving bid for admission to
| the Convention at Cincinnati.
