OUR STATE DEMOCRACY.
.. ~. a. a. -

we observe that a wicked attempt il beng made by
the bogus Democriiic state Central Committee, OF
which John a. Green, jr, Is Chairman, to iHsten on
ia. regular rrprercutsiive body II our State DomOt-
fycy the stigma Of utilization with the sentiments pro-
f.srd by few Secession hirellngs IN this and Other
Northern cities. Tie Green COMMITTEE, N iis inal
thfots OF dissolution, seeks To cnlc' IN us ;o embrce
and drag down 10 the per,i'iOn rightly awaiting it-
own crimes the free honest and loyal Democracy IL
tie State of New York. II is must not bel II our
State Centrl Committee dttire 10 retiin any end
ancy over tie respect AID Affections 81 the n eigcnt
D-nocrat;c misses, it mn,t promptly repudihe the
Green concern, the Ben Wood 0rglD aud every other
agency by which Northern traitors seek 10 give aid
aud comfort to the enemy.
In repudaring tIe dsgraceful alliance proposed by
the desparing Republicans, our State Central COm.
lnttee acted With manIness and political wi.do. The
p-esent war for the Union has abried nothing of the
odons aud 7ggresiye features contained nihe Chicago
platform ana tie creed OF tie Republican party. On the
contrary Black ReuuhhcaIism stil processes 10 stand
by iis Chcago ui,erDnces, though Mr. Lincoln hhs
b, Ell compeled hy tie conservative tendencies OF oce
and The eesities hs situation TO hold IN check the
aggressive and unconstitutional procyos OF the men
10 whom be owes ~ elevation.
10 Relublicanism as political creed, the Demo-
cratic rarty can hol no other relation save that 81 uI-
owing hostility. But TO ret on fe or scut-
lie Tie sip Of State freghted i, j. with our own
lives aud the hopes OF generations yet unborn, merely
be,ause au obnoxious helmsman has Glanced 10 gaia
Temporary pos.etson Of ter. Least of all shonld
we 70 act while storm l. roaring around us, ara WIN
a gang of Maays and mutineers OH board who arc
acting Ia concert with tie wreckefs now hnngrlly
awaiting our destruction. Ii the hel.nsman attempts
20 deyate from the chart Of the Constitution we have
ann le sreprh 10 insist tnat il shall he followed Thus
endowed with power To direct aud save, we must
either Join the Malay and muiineers in wrecaing or
shin on The TO ks OF Secession, We must heartily
supp ri the bensman however obnoxious, IN steering
,lrhr Of the breakers and weatherng the hurricane.
AS true Democrats, anXi Us above all ttngs iof the
reservation Of the Constitution, stand opoted 20
every enemy of that great instrument OF freedom.

John A. Green, we ilIe daily receiving only too inuaa
evidence Working FROM widely different motives,
but with the same object, il is the duty OF INC true De-
oc ,acy to take that neither OF these iachohs
shall be successful. Denying the right OF Secession,
