SPEECH OF DAVID DUDLEY FIELD.
ErsIov-CIrIZEss OF TIE EIGHTEENTH WARD:
Another election requires again the exercise OF your
duties rs electors. II happens now, IS i has hap
peped at almost every general election, that the re-
sui, of the canvass not only determines Tue choice
between the candidates bat decides poifiIcal qnes
saons, and the present election Is more I'M or'snt
than any previous one, Is the questions 10 be de-
f,ded are more vital aud decisive. will ask you,
therefore to lock back at tie candidates and at the
questions at Issue. Gen. Nadsworth, your candi-
date for Governor. hiss, until his Rebellion, lived
NIL his life a private citizen To those OF you no
think that the deterioration of polite has tended
70 exclude our sblest men from office, aud that
the best talent OF the country has re-
manned in private life, this Will he rather
n r. recommendation One Of our coupensatlons for
the dreadful experiences through which we are now
pas,ing is their tendency 10th to make the people
more careful in the selection OF their public servants
and the best citizens more ready TO enter into public
life Bnt though Gen. Wadsworrh has not held
Office BE has taken deep interest and periorred IN
important part in the deterD nstion Of public ques-
tions. SO long ago IS lS47, be was one Of those
members If the then Democratic State Convention
nj Syracuse who voted for the resolution against tie
extension of Slavery which led 10 the division OF
the Democratic party. 1t may be well TO look at
the terms of that resolut on Low. Here il il:
Resored That while the Democracy Of NewYork repre-
sented in this Convention will fsithuly adhere ali tie
compromises Of the Constitution and iesosy msinisin al
promising hostility to the extension OF avery into territory
gov free which may hereafter be acquired By tie Govern
unout OF the United States.
From that time 10 July, 1856, Mr.. Wadsworih
continued to belong 20 the Democratic party acting
with that branch Of it which opposed inlexiby and
always the extension Of Slavery. The divergence
between the two branches became, however, wider
and WIDER till that which opposed the extension Of
Slavery openly repudiated the action OF the other
branch, and separated from them, nominating Tor
their candidates for the Presidency and Vice PresI
dency the nominees OF the Republicans. THIS was
done at Convention held at Syracuse the 24th
of July, 1856. Mr. WadswOr,h presided over tLie
Convention, and taking tie chair delivered an sd-
dress which il 10 instructive now 10 Reproduce. Ii
was as follows:

Thus stood Mr.. Wadsworth at the breaking ont Of
the Rebellion. lie was q Republican, opposed 10
tie extension Of Slavery, but in favor Of msiatain
Ing the rights OF the States, and careful for the
purity Of Legislation and the integrity OF public SER
vsnts. How stood Mr.. Seymour, his competitor :
he had been once defeated as a candidate for tie
pfice of Governor, and once elected by small ma
orry, at time when the Democratic party was in
