ADDRESS TO THE DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN,
ELECTORS or NEw-YORK.
In =
organizations to the rule now governing Tammany
Hall, actuated by desire to reclaim the Demo
cratic party of this city from rapid decay and destruc-
ton. We had no other object. Attached always to
its principles and policy and knowing that without the
confidence of the masses it could not subsist we
resolved upon this the only way to save it to
the Democracy of the State and nation With tliese
feelings and for this object were our committees organ
ized and notwithstanding the vast official patronage
of the men who have immediate control of Tamnany
Hail. which has been largely increased by the officers
of the City Government-procu by them as the
reward of political pcrfdy-we have at this time the
most powerful and compact combination of voters
formed here for any purpose. Thus, while Tarnmony
Hall has lost thousands of Independent supporters
who have heretofore stood by sides III manya hard
fought contest and has little left OF the masses
and instead reflects only the interests and preudces Of
ts leaders and their dependents and expcctants our
association point TO lists OF tens OF thousands OF
enrolled members who do not hold Office and who
would not accept it If rendered. Therefore claim
to represent the Democratic party of Ncw-York and
in the have concluded to take with reference
TO the coming November election yield nothing Of
this claim, but Influenced By considerations para
mount even To those which divide from Tammany
Hail. concerning they do the welfare and prosperity
Of the National Administration and the great Demo
cratic party of the State and nation.
Not the less hostile to the rule OF an unscrupulohs
society the desnies of our beloved party we in
tend to show in good time appreciation of this evil
and submit for the decision of the people the question
whether regularity s constituted by the name of a
building owned by inquisitoral close corporation,
or whether the organization IL regular which reflects
the voice of majority of the Democratic votes. The
only question now is when this ssne shall be pre-
sented. Shall it be at the election in November, or a
the election in December Al the former We shall be
called upon To vote for candidates for national and
State az well as for county officers while at the latter
election but local charter officers are to be
elected In deciding, therefore, it will he well to keep
this difference TO the character of the officers to be
voted for at each election in yew and in this con-
nection weigh well the consequences OF division
at election involving interests which may at
feet the success of the National Democratic party in
1860, beside hazardng at this time the strength OF
the National Administration and the recovery OF the
State. We should look n, the whole field, aud the
probable result of Onr action abroad, taking more
comprehensive glance than the immediate contest
with the Sachems OF Tammany. We are Democrats
trine that by the of party only can the
Federal Union be maintained and the blessings of
republican institutions be preserved. To insure this
success should avail ourselves OF the present aus
pcious moment 10 recover the Empire State. Ii this
should be accomplished now it viii stand firm in the
next great national struggle for the maintenance Oi
the Union. Can afford 10 leopard Tins prospect by
local division which, from It's very nature must ha We
an injurious influence We must elect the Demo
cratic State ticket and hence suffer domestic grew
to offer the least obstruction TO consummaton
so devouty TO be wished
The people of the City Of New-York have felt kccnly
the effects of Black Republican msrule IN this state.
They desire the repeal of the infamous enactment5
which that party has fastened upon them within the
pasi three years. Let heartily unite IN accomplish
ing that great good. Again We have recently wit
messed deadly struggle between the President OF our
choice ard an odlOus combination of his enemies 10
thwst his patriotic measures for the restoration of
peace to the disturbed councils of the country. We
have in that struggle how essential are reliable
votes III Congress. Shall we again subject him to
annoyance by permitting the return OF either open oes
or domestic opponents to the House ofRepresentaves
Can we call ourselves his friends if from any cause We
overlook duty Ia his Administration by giving the
Congressional support which he has right to demand,
in view of another probable critical period in the do
mestio and foreign affairs of the nation We know
this. He cannot depend upon his own snbordnate-
in Tammany Hall. Recent events have shown
this beyond a doubt. To that faction he cannot
look with any confidence for aid IN securing the
recovery of the State the election ot sound Demo-
Gratis to Congress. Indeed it lis with them that the
real danger lies. The official patronage It's leaders
possess will enable them to poll vote far greater than
their own Legitimate s,rength-largc enough, it is
feared 10 divide the party, and thus lose the State,
Congressional and Assembly tickets Bent upon re-
taipng their ilgotten hold ot the Tammany una
chinery know from experience that they will sscTi-
flee the National and State interests for their own local
advantage. In the election next month they will be
willing to sell out the Democratic State ticket, candi-
dates for Congress and Assembymen, if in return they
can procure votes for their local ticket by which 10
prop up their tottering power. Shall give them an
excuse for 10 doing Shall we let them, their strug
ole 10 ont vote us on county candidates bargain with the
