Tie Democratic State Convention win meet
at Albany tomorrow. One Of the first ques-
| tions which will come before the Convention
| is in regard to the contesting delegations from
this city. II Tammany Hall be not admitted
alone, and without any compromises With the
Mozarters, the McKeonites, the Old Coons or
the Young Coons, we advise and expect that
she will withdraw from the Convention, and
that her delegates will return to this city in .
body. This question of contesting delegations
must be settled some time or other, and now is
the time to settle It, Taumany Hall must face
the music and force the Convention to a de-
cision. We want to see whether the democratic
party, outside this city, is copperhead peace
party or Union war party. Tammany Hall
now has the game in her own hands, and will
play the trump card.
Whether upon national or party grounds,
Tammany is the only representative Of the
democracy Of New York Her right to this
representation was never contested until 1860,
when Mozart sent delegation to the Charles
ton Convention. That Convention rejected
Mozart and admitted Tammany, and in par
tisan point of view tue issue was thus decided.
But nationally her claim is even more indis
putsble. She stands for the Union, for the war
| and for Mcclellan, while the other speeulating,
| bargaining. copperhead concerns are for dis
| union, for peace on the rebel terms, for who
! ever will buy them, aud against Mcclellan. Let
! Tammany stand firm upon her present platform,
and nominate good, honest, able men for the
Congressional and local Offices, and she can
carry this city by any majority she desires,
whether the Regency rump admit her into the
| Convention or not But if she falters, equivo.
Gates or compromises with the Peter Funk or
CARNATIONS opposed to her she is utterly lost,
and new and better organization will take
the place she has proven herself too corrupt to
| Gil.
| Among the candidates before the Conven-
| ton for Governor we see none 80 well quail
fed a. the Hon Amasa J. Parker. Judge Par
| ker is a Mcclellan man, aud we believe that he
stands upon McClelan's platform-nst the
| Chicago platform. He has been twice nomi-
| mated when the democracy had no chance Of
success and when the democratic leaders knew
that he would be defeated. Now that victory
| is ready to perch upon tue banners OF the
Mcclellan democracy Judge Parker has q
| right TO the nomination But The Judge must
come out fairly and squarely and plant him
self upon the same platform as that which we
have urged upon Tammany Hal He is q
| man Of culture, education, refinement and
ability, aud can easily beat Fenton upon such
a platform. II Judge Parker will follow our
advice, and II Tammany Hall will be true to
her colors, continue 10 repudiate the copper
hesd.. and nominate the right sort OF men for
| Congress and for the local Offices, we have no
hesitation In promising both the Judge and old
Tammspy our beatty and constant support
GREELEY SaowlHG TIRE WHINE FEATHER :
