ADDRESS OF THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COM
MITTEE,


New YORK, Oct. 21.-The National
Democratic Committee have issued an adj
dress to the conservative voters of the
Union and another 70 the Democratic State
Committee of New York. The substance
of the first is that the Democracy if placed
in power, intend to restore peace and union
and give the people of the South their
rights. Then comes long defence of the
Democrats, and an equally long denuncia-
ton OF the Republicans. We quote the
close:
For this final struggle then, fellow
democrats of the United States. let us in
vgorate every muscle and every heart
The time is short. The foe is stubborn
and desperate, for our victory would be
the death blow to the Republican party.
1t could not have been held together by
any other nomination. 1t cannot survive
your successful assault. One victory is
enough. Your triumph in November will
finally re-establish the Union and the Con-
stitution for another generation of men.
1t will restore peace and good order to the
South. prosperity to the North, and wise
and frugal rule to both. The great prize
is worth your most strenuous endeavor.
Our ranks are unbroken. Our courage is
undated. Once more to the breach and
this time victory"
The State address says: You have driven
the Republicans to their baggage wagons.
Yon have almost routed them.
After the usual dissertation upon what
the party would do ifin powor the address
winds up as follows:
Fellow Citizens: 1t is a false calumny
that we desire to overthrow the pernicious
systems of our adversaries. their Govern
ment by force 0r,by fraud in the Southern
States, their supremacy of the negro over

cal revolution which the Republicans are
gradually accomplishing

restore and not to destroy the Republic.
Fellow Democrats of New York, we call

Your standard bearer in the national CON

vances with your flag to the fore front of
the battle. We appeal to the four hundred
thousand Democrats of one and all, to
