NEW York, 3d.-Democratic Convention yes
terday unanimously adopted following
.Resolved, That we do not admit the war to
have been in any respect failure, and point to
the fact that greater portion of the rebellious
States have been recovered, and all but few
vessels of the rebel navy destroyed.
Resolved, That it is neither good policy
compatible with dignity of our Government to
request cessation of hostilities, nor offer terms
of settlement till rebels express desire of peace.
They have heretofore invariably and in most in
stances disclaimed against returning to the
Union, but if such desire be properly expressed,
with guarantees of good faith, the greatest lib
erty should be rendered them.
Resolved, That as no Nation has ever been able
to endure such conflict as has disturbed
country, without final pressure, we recognize
and submit the necessity of being convinced that
the resources of the boundless domain Of the
restored Union amply sufficient to meet all
liabilities.
Resolued, That we therefore urge on Democrats
TO sustain the Government as it now exists. and
support in the coming election candidates who
express their views.
