UNION OF THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY

Among the encouraging signs of the times (says
cotemporary) notice the good feeling which at
present exists among the time-honored and power
hd society known rs the Tammany Association. The
recent election of sachems for the society is thus
spoken Of by the democratic press in New York:
Thf election resulted in the success OF ticket nearly
every member Of which believe is in favor OF reform
in political organization. Such in fact the PFC
dominant sentiment of the active members both tick
cts and il mainly contest among individuals OF the
party to which interest belonged the most posi-
tive and determined friends of such reform This Was
the principal feature On this based the contest
and have doubt that the council OF sachems
will be determined in their efforts for reform as the
old and that through the action already initiated rsor
ganiEatlon viii lS efrta which will result in aaonpese
and thorolgh union of the party, and make Us, VIC
should be- and indvisihle.
The election spirited, but there were none of
those angry aud acrimonious feelings exhibited which
often enter into contests OF this kind All WAS fair
manly, and above hoard and the defeated candidates
ready TO Join the exultation OF the victorious as
though themselves had been the vctors When the ne
suit proclaimed three cheers proposed by the
old horse Of democracy the succesfu candidates
which given with will three the Pgsa.,
dent ef the United StaGs h.ee sor the coiec
tor OF the port Austs She'll and three times three for
union, harmony, aud victory. Such was the feeling
which aetuated the members OF the old Tammany So
cety this occasion, "

loans and discounts $500, ,45l ,2la in 1887 they
had increased TO s525 In 1880 the bank ercu

somuch for General Jacsons opposition 90 banks and
banking We will what effect this transfer Of
the public money to the pet banks had upon the sale OF
the public land
From 1928 TO 1882 inclusive the average sales of the
public lands were but l3O per annum, whereas
In 1880 the sales Is 999 sO4 and in 1886 the sales
were 25, l67, ,S33 acres
Ii thus apparent that the transfer OF the public
money to the pet hanks enabled the partisans of Mr.
Van Buren, who managed the pet banks purchase the
public lands with the notes OF those hanks and that ii
the public depostes permitted To remain in them
few individuals might through their agency monopolize
the public land without money and without price
The process follows and b, political parti-
of Mr. Van Buren, having the control one Of the
pet banks, wishing 10 purchase public land gave their
promsory notes to the bank aud received the bank
notes of the bank these paid To the receiver
of public lands and By h6a deposited ri te hank BY
the same process again and again repeated the public
lands being transferred to Mr. Van Burens part
sans at the rate of than heffre millions II acres
per Mr.. Calhoun did the honor to consult me
to the best OF arresng this abuse and il
upon my suggestion, in letter written at Annapolis
that he advocated the transfer OF the public money from
the pet hanks TO the States. urged that it WAS ques
ton of proper custodian OF the public money He and
concurred in the wish to separate the government from
hanks that the OF the public money by the
banks had tendency to create fluctuations in the
lands unless could take the surplus the
pet hanks and that could not deprive the pet
banks OF the public depoSites unless enlisted inu
stronger than the pet banks and the public deptes
combined and, therefore, suggested, and he adopted
the expeen OF transferring that surplus the States
repeat that the transfer of the surplus TO the
States not act of distribution OF the public lands
but adopted necessity and the only of
preventing the transfer OF the public lands to private in
dviduals, who had combined To the pet hanks the
agents the oonsumaton of their fraudulent specula
tons
i have thus given plain, unvarnished statement
hoping that there Is sufficient intelligence To the truth
and that there is sufficient regard for truth in portion
of the conductors of the public press which has given
currency to the which 1t is intended correct
induce them to publish what have written intending
ii this be done, to show in subsequent communication
that tho appropriations OF alternate sections of land in
the new States in aid of railroads docs not justify claim
for distribution by the old States aud that ii it did
the old States have within their constitutional control
which, aid 10 their credit and to internal
improvements Is much efficient than the proposed
distribution of the public lands would be.
