Patriotic Action of New York Demo
Gratis.
We spoke last week of the change going
on i'll some portions of the country, in the
minds of the Democracy. We then had more
especially III mind the Democrats of New
York city. A large and enthusiastic meeting
had just been held of the wal Democracy, al
which some of the most influential Democrats
of the Empire State, took an active part. The
meeting was presided over by the veteran
Gen. Winfield Scott, and was addressed by
such men as James t. Brady and John Van
Buren,.
The following resolutions were adopted
amidst cheers and huzzas, and were eloquent
ly sustained and illustrated by stirring speech
es by the gentlemen mentioned above, as well
as by many other able democrats. We com
mend these resolutions to the Democracy OF
Kenosha County, and most candidly ask them
if they cannot subscribe to them, and make
them, or the principles they embrace, the basis
Of their future political action. On such a
platform it seems to us, all loyal men can
and should heartily unite, during the contin.
uance of this rebellion. We are aware that
the Chicago Times and MjJwaukee Neys,
which assume to dictate the action of the De
mocracy in this State, do not endorse this ac-
ton of New York Democrats, but may it not
be, that the men who drew up and adopted
these resolutions, are as able statemen as re.
liable leaders, and more loyal citizens, than
these editors?
ReSoiUed, That it is the duty of every citi-
zen to unite in all proper efforts to preserve
and perpetuate the Unicn in accordance with
the Constitution.
ResoJoed, That the conduct of disaffected
persons, claiming to be citizens of the United
States, yet jealous in their attempt to embar-
rass and impede the action of the legally con.
stituted authorities, and in the utterance Of
reasonable sentiments, deserves and should
receive, the condemnation of every loyaI citi-
zen.
ReSoJred, That the loyal people of New
York hereby pledge their fortunes, their in
~fluence and their honor to the support of the
national authority in every vigorous and de-
termined effort, by force of arms, on sea or land.
to secure a complete and final suppression Of
the causeless and atrocious insurrection which
now desolates the country.
R~eSoLUed, That the army and navy of the
United States wv their undivided allegiance
to the Constitution they have sworn to sup
port and defend, and that no soldier or sailor
can rightfully hesitate in his obedience to the
commands OF superiors i'll ranks, whose author.
ity is denied from the Government of the ma.
ton.
ReSotoed, That every citizen owes allegi
ance to the Government, and he who denies
its authority, or fails in his duty to uphold the
honor of its flags, is an abettor of treason, anC
should suffer the penalty due to his crime.
ReSOIred, That this meeting, under solemn
convictions of duty, and in a firm reliance or
the justice of that Providence which guides
and guards Governments and peoples, does
hereby resolve itself into a Loyal League Of
Union Citizens pledged to an unconditional
support of the Government in all its c~onstitu.
tional efforts, to suppress the rebellion, and al
uncompromising opposition to treason in what.
ever form it appears.
The United States Collector, of I~nterna'
Revenue at Erie, discovered one day las week
that one hundred and twenty barrels of rein
ed oil had been shipped east, from the Hatch
refinery at that place, without the payment O
the United States tax. Only seven of the bar.
rels had the Inspectors seal, and the balance
were subject to confiscation. The one hundred
and twenty barrels were found in Buffalo, anC
were marked paraphine oil. The oil was re.
fined, and liable to a tax of ten cents per gal
lon, or IN average of four dollars per barrel
The collector coniscated the oil, valued at near
ly IS, 000, returned to Erie and confiscated two
hundred barrels, valued at about 81, 900, anc
then proceeded to a confscation of the Rein
cry itself, which is supposed to be worth &c.
600, together with a horse and buggy belong
ing to one of the proprietors, which was found
on the premises. The parties offending are
still liable to a heavy fine, and unless the mat
ter can be satisfactorily explained to the 'pow-
ers that be-" the affair may be considered a
serious one for the oil manufacturers.
some time since, a superanuated old Com
modore was placed in charge of one of our ma

just filled his basket with chips, as the gouty
