New York.

The nomination for Governor, by the
Democratic State Convention of New
York, OF the young, eloquent and popu-
lar HOFFMAN, was a wise movement,
and will make assurance of victory
in that State doubly sure. The nomi-
nation was made with a unanimity
highly gratifying. Personally and po-
litically, HOFFMAN will strengthen the
ticket and the cause. New York is now
good for 10000 majority for SEYMOUR,
BLAIR and HOFFMAN, in November
next.
The following little speech made by
SAMUEL J. TILDEN, Chairman of the
State Central Committee, on calling
the Convention to order, will show the
great confidence in the final result en-
tertained by the well-informed, calm
and lear-headed politicians of that
State.
DELEGATES to the Democratic State Con-
renfiOn of NeW York You are assembled
on an occasion, perhaps the most inn
portant that has occurred during this
generation. Cheers.l The indica-
tions from all parts of the United States
at least from those States that are ad.
mitted to be in the Unien-are that we
are on the eve of one of the greatest
peaceable political revolutions that this
cOuntry has ever witnessed. Great
cheering.l have had the pleasure my
self, since | met many o: you on the
Fourth OF July, [applause,l to have
been in every State in respect TO which
there has been any doubt, and which
we desire or need to carry, and am
happy to say to you that the same Sc
rene confidence, growing stronger every
day, that l have had, and that l believe
YOU have felt from the beginning,
continues to animate ME. lAp-
plause.l l believe that if the
democracy do their daty, as l
trust and know they will, we shall
elect Seymour and Blair. Tremendous
cheering lido not know what, with
nv habitual caution, induces me to
venture upon prediction of this sort,
In the long period during which | have
been connected with politics, from a
very early age, cannot recollect any
| Presidential election in which i have
miscalculated the result-not for thirty
wears and more. Why it is feel as
| do about this election / know not, un-
| less it is that / believe In the people,
in God, and in the destiny of my eoun-
try. LCheers. Yet do feel, with an
assurance calm, serene and every day
growing, that this result Is about to be
reached, and l am anxious only that
the great State of New York, which be-
, gan the contest last year by us tifty
| fbousand majority, having had con-
ferred upon it the distinguished honor
of the selection of the standard -beaTer
of the Democracy of the Union
from one of her citizens, shall mann
tain its position in the vanguard oi
the great Democratic column OF AHeri-
ca. Loud cheeriug.l believe tha'
we shall do this. | believe that the
contest which involves great issues and
great interests; which involves the res
toration of the Union; which luvelNes
the restoration of self-government
through every part of this broad land
which Involves the restoration OF the
broken columns of our American Con
stitution, almost subverted by the policy
of the Republican party during the last
four years; which involves the restOra'
! tion of habits of economy to the Gov.
ernment, aud relief from burdensome
e taxation to the people, believe that
e this great contest, so auspicisusly y begun
will terminate in still more brilliant
results for eur country, for posterity
: ana for the lovers of freedom In every
/, cline lGreat cheering.1 now, gen
o tlcmen, perform the duty assigned Il
