Address from the Tannany Gen
craI Committee

Address from the Tam many Gen
eraf Committee.
The democracy of the city of New York,
represented in the Tammany hall general
Committee, congratulate the democracy OF
Pennsy lvania and the western states upon
the spirit and indomitable energy evinced
by them il their recent contests, which
are but the preliminary skirmishes to the
great national battle to be fought next
month. .-- s.
We congratulate them upon the great
advantages won. Those advantages would
have been full triumphs but for the ex-
pendlture of vast corrupton-fu calcu-
lated by millions, collected, not only from
the placemen and off ce- holders Of the radi-
cal congress, bat also from the combina-
ton who have been depreciating the reve-
nues Of the government by illicit manufac-
lures. Even the corruption-fund would
not have resulted in preventing the pre-
limiDary triumphs of the democracy in
the state Of Pennsy ylyania fit had not been
for the arbitrary acts Of radical inspectors,
in direct disobedien:e Of the courts, and
in violation Of the constitution and laws Of
the United States, in refusing to receive
the votes Of our naturalized fellow citizens.
The votes Of the naturalized citizens
who were denied the right of suffrage in
Pennsylvania because they intended to
vote with us, would have been more than
enough to have given us victory at the
late election. We are glad to hear that
our friends there have determined that the
votes of our adopted citizens shall be re-
ceived at the coming election.
But the corruptior-:reasury of the ene-
my cannot again be successfully used under
the vigilance of the democracy. The colo
nizers sent by the radical committee Of this
state must remain here to contest, though
in futile effort, the Empire state.
The gallant democracy of Philadelphia
have redeemed the r city from radical dcs-
potism aud we receive with confidence the
dispatches that, with fair election and
pure ballot, which they are likely to have,
they will be victorious, by largely in
creased majority, in the decisive battle of
next month.
Our brethern in Ohio have contcnded
against the heavy majorities Of fanaticism
and radicalism. They have struggled gal
lantly. They have fought an honest fight.
The votes which were cast by them were
their own. The unscrupulcus enemy filed
the northern counties Of Ohio with carpet
baggers and eolonizers from the strong
holds of radicalism of adjoining states.
Thousands Of negroes voted in violation Of
law and the overwhelming decision of the
people in the election of last year. But the
democracy have made wonderful gains.
Victory in Indiana was almost within
our grasp. By fraudulent canvassing our
foes gain the state, but By less than 1000
majority. Our brethren there send us
word that the democracy of Indiana will
give an increased vote next month. Iudi-
ana has virtually repudiated the radical
candidate on the national ticket.
Democrats of New York In our state
the contest Of the democracy is for the ma
jorities we will give our great chieftain
and statesman, Horatio Seymour, and the
gallant soldier Of the west, Gen. FraLk +.
Blair.
The radicals are already alarmed at the
determination and vigor of the democracy
of Pennsylvania, and the great west, ap-
preciate that the great decisive battle is
not yet won.
The democracy of .he Empire state,
proud of her greatstatesman, Horatio Sey
mour, are no less proud of her gallant sol
der of the west, who, by his energy and
bravery, saved his state from rebellion,
and fought at the head of his corps in the
battles of the sou thwest, and in all those
upon the great march =" from the noun
tains to the sea-"
The radicals, conscious of the unrelaxed
vigor Of the democracy in Pennsylvania
and the west. and their own rapidly-d de-
creasing vote, endeavor to inspire their
waveripg ranks, and to demoralize the ad
vancing democratic columns by silly stories
of divided columns.
We are united We believe in our
cause. 1t is the cause of constitutional
liberty, of personal rights, of fraternity
Of states, of an economical government, of
the financial credit Of the nation, Of one
currency for all men, rich aud poor-of the
polit ical supremacy of the white race, and
the protection of white labor.
