Hoffman, of New York, has. been
nominated, by aeclamation, for Coy
--ernor, and Robert III. Prunne, of AL
bany, for Lieutenant-Governor. &.
When the Hon. Sanford E. Church
resumed the chair this morning, he
was greeted with rounds oflapplause,
intermingled with few Kisses, He
said that he desired to make few
words of explanation with reference
to what had occurred yesterday, partly
on account of misapprehension on
the part of the chair, and partly on
account Of a misapprehension by a
portion of the Convention. When the
chair found that neither of the COM
mittees were prepared with a report,
+ he supposed that the Convention
would be inclined to yield to an adj
iournment till this morning. When
-gethe motions was made to adjourn, the
chairman declared it carried-has tily
perhaps-before the voting was finish
ed. If that exercised the mind of
any gentleman present, no one regret
ted it more than the chair.
Committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported. Hon. Sanford E. Church
was made President, and eight Vice
81 Presidentsa8 The following is the
platform adopted, unanimously:
The Democratic eand National I'm
ion electors of the State of New York,
In convention assembled, at Albany,
this 12th) day of September, 1866,
hereby re-afirm the principles set
forth by the convention held at Phila-
- delphia on the 14th of August last; !;
=. and further, we affirm that we, for our
: part, hold inyiolate, and as far as in
: us lies, will make good the faith of
the nation, phghted bythe Senate of
.~ the United States In its resolutions of
'- the 26th day of July, 1861, and by the
s@ House of Representatives in the same
resolutions of the I'D of July; by
- Gen. Grant at Appomatox Court
House, and by President John
$ son in his proclamation of am
nesty of May 29th, 1866, which
fully, lawfully, and finally restored tC
!. all the rights and functions of citi-
gems, the great mass of the people
- of the Southern States, who, by theil
l. State Conventions and Legislatures
- fulfilled every required condition, anC
who, by their delegations in the Phil
2 adelphia Convention, gave every need
.zs full pledge of the sincerity of their
s~- renewed allegiance and their accep
- tance of the issues of the war ! and
q lastly, we affirm that the centraliza
= ton of power In State not in thu
Union, is not less conducive to th'
s harmony of our political system thar
dangerous to the liberty of the citi
- zen. Recent legislation at Alban,
has usurped the right of full contro
of the local affairs which countie
and municipalities are entitled tt
regulate. 1t has also exceeded an
former precedent in its extravagan
expenditures, and its fraudulent tam
pering with the public works of tn
State. At Washington millions hav
been sduandered upon central scheme
of local benefactions; and, a partisa
Congress, while reducing the .appro
priafion for a patriotic soldiery, ha
p, not forgot to enhance its own amour
of Office. Not to dwell on other at
tendant suits, whose name is legion
loaa and confidently appeal to the elector
-s9 of the State to unite with Us IN a dt
.diof termined effort to restore the just ba
bar ance of governmental power. so wide
ni ly distributed by the fathers &
san the Constitution, and to arrei
1oH9 that monstrous corruption winch
sa1 2. y fast sapping the homes OF puDh
Gaa spirit and public virtue, and Dy sue !le
union and earnest effort to enlarge tt
freedom, tighten the burdens and pr1f
mote the happiness of the people (
this State and Union.
