The National Democratic State Committee
acting on behalf Of the supporters Of Brock
inridge, have Issued On address to the De-
mocracy OF the State of New York. They
reoite the progress and final failure of their
negotiations for fusion Of oil parties op
posed to Lincoln, and declare that the door
is forever closed against coalition with the
Douglasites. The committee proceed in
their address as follows:
Our candidates for electors and state offc-
ers will be supported by US with all the en-
ergy and means at our command. The old
| struggle between the two wings OF the de-
mocracy of this state 10 again renewed by
the conduct Of the present Albany regency
| The latter are now allied, however, with the
! know nothings, and their opponents are re
inforced by some Of their former strong
supporters, who have already recognized the
| inevitable tendency and final result of the
sauatter sovereignty doctrine. We there.

rally In behalf Of our principles and our can
ddates. We ask the more than one hun
