Empire State by the Union Of Friday last -namely s.to
fown down all attempts to bring forward at this stage Of
affairs any candidate for the presidency in 1860 and to
concentrate all efforts to the support of local nomna
tons If this sage counsel be accepted think we
shall triumph most gloronsly at the ensuing fall
elections but IL it be dsregaTded and the ..fire-
brand be thrown into the party by few design
ing selfish politicians to whom peace and harmony
are uncongenial elements, our success may be rem
dered much difficult. United tho democracy

Empire State would have certainly given her twenty five

time and temper in discussing tho relative merits of can
datcs for the presidency in 1860, it is the duty Of the
united democracy of this State to great demo
cratic victory in 1853 and give the worthy chief Of our
choice that strong and cordial support which will enable
him to carry ont his policy boldly and vigorously

there silly people, weak and wicked enough at the
present moment thus to throw ire-bsand into the
party but regret to say that fear that some such do
exist and that it is absolutely necessary to show them
rather rdey, pcrhasthe full extent Of their weakness
and wckedncss in order to make them turn from the CT
ror of their ways The masses of the democracy in this
State very unanimous in their support OF the admin
straon and have perfect confidence in It's wisdom, hon

The photographic cable continues TO be the great
theme OF discussion and that all doubt is set at
