THE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY.

The following political intelligence from the En-
pire State will ussuredy be read with interest by eve
cry patriot We commend the consideration Of the
New York Resolutions to certain wrong g-headcd edi-
tors who insist, in the face Of evory such piece of
grateful intelligence thut the Democratic party Of the
country is not to be trusted by the South
TIE DEMOCRATS UF THE NHw loRK LEGIsLATrRE.
"A caucus of the democrats Of the legislature "f
New York was held on Monday evening, the 10Th IN
slant wlen after full and free discussion anu u
general interchange Of opinion, series Of resolutions
ON political matters were unanimously aaCptet from
which we select the following:
"Resoircd That we recognise tho right of the pco-
ple of all the Territories, including kansas anu Ne
braska acting through the legally and fairly lyexpressed
will Of maturity Of actual residents, and whenever
the number uf their inhabitants jusfcS it, to form
constitution, with without domestic slavery, nnd
he admitted into the Union upon terms Of perfect
equality with the other States"
Resoircd That tho above resolution, adopted by
the Democratic National Convention ut Cincinnati,
expresses the sentiments of the democrats OF this
State and that we arc ready to maintain the policy
therein declared not only most in consnnance with
the spirit of the constitution, but us the best pract-
cal solution Of question which has 50 long lnJuri-
ousy agitated our nationa! politics.
Rcsolrcd, That We regard the immediate admission
of Kansas into the concderacy, under the constil-
ton presented to Congress, with tho recognition hy
the federal government Of the nalienabc right OF It's
pcspe to modify and change the same at pleasure, rs
4 wise aud expedient method Of dispOsing Of the
question uf its internal government, because such a
proceeding will Immediately cvthe the people Of tho
Torrtory with sovereign power, commit to them the
whole responsibilities Of domestic government and
enable them to tuke part in those OF the Union, and
because it will empower the people to correct errors
punish frauds and repel the nermcddling with their
nfnirs of the people and politicians Of other States
| Pcsolrsd, That the administration of James Gu-
chrnan has forfeited none Of the goodwill OF the
pcuplc of this Stntc but has continued, to command
their esteem and their increasing confidence IN the Sl
gaci,y and nshp, well rs tie purity anu pr
triotism, Of the distinguished chief ut its head
IF these resolutions do not breathe the true spirit OF
conservative PATRIOTISM our notions OF thut laudaDle
virtue are sadly ut fault. When such emphatic and
hishtoncd declarations, promulgated in defiance Of
the unt Southern and anti Constitutional cohorts Of
Black Reublicanisn, fail to awaken ready response
of sympathy and esteem in the hearts Of Southern
men, We arc unable tuaccont for the circumstance
ccpt upun the suppusil;"n Of gross illiberaty, or
nrciudcc of Uvergrvwu dimensions, perhaps more
correctly STILL of both combined. But it may be that
We arc tlrus,iry at IL shadow. Surely there cannot
lac IL patriot, south ur Mason and pixon's linc 50
contracted and suspicious not to allow full weight
to the direct, manly anl strnnS y-eXprcStcd rcsou
tiuns of the New York Democracy
