events OF the day, and oanno. fail to command the
respect and attention of tae courtry at large The
efforts of few disconnected spirits TO prevent =
harmonious union of the party, failed in NEST :
signal manner and complete reunion was effected
The party in the Empire Sac is at this moment far
more thoroughly and Enthusiastically united than at
any period subsequent 70 the crgiaal split in 1874
The fact that the convention vas to nominate del
egste TO the National Convention st Charleston in
vested its action, says the Washington Constitution
with 6 special importance and directed to its pro
ceedipes the thoughtful attention of all men who
desire the triumph Of true democrats principles
and take az interest in She welfare CT The L iion.
The pref mnaIy pgoseedings, continues The Con-
stitutioR, disclossd aa overwhelming pcnieTauce
Of delegates amin 'tsd BY COMMON purpose, deter
mined to pTomots ana secure harmony Gnd united
action, resolved TO tcown down ard defeat sny at
tempt to revive old divisions and feuda, aud actu-
ated by an honest desire heal past differences,
with vieK to secure q perfect aUioa and conse-
sequent triumph of the party, and TO restore the
great Empire State 10 he's proper place among The
domOcratis States Of the Confedsrsey. The result
has fully Justified the confidence and expectations
Of the constituency CT which the members OF the con
veuton were the able representatives, ard the evil
dences Of patriotism aud uaity Of purpose which
the proceedings sford will only inspire the de-
mocraey Of New York with confidence Of success,
but will also give assurances to the democracy Of /
he entire Union that New York has resumed her
true position as a leading democratic State.
One of the most pleasing incidents of the conven-
tion was the eloquent patriotic and fo?cibe speech
Of DANIEL S. Dickinson, recommending "a union
which would know no North, no South, no East,
no West, and no ssctoB;" and urging with all the
vgor Of bis mind and all the Influence of his name,
&speace and harmony' among the members of TIE
great democratic party Of his State. Happily his
sage and prudent counsels have been unanimously
adopted, and the consequence is that the New York
Democracy, instead, as Of late years, entering on
the campaign with divided ranks to contend with
united opposition; now take the field in united body
with wel-sssured prospect Of achieving victory,
both in State and national issues which will be as
signal aud glorious as their past defeats have been
CALLING and humilistng.

ton Convention, instructed to act a initial Of
