ADDRESS FROM THE rAnuAsY GENERAL CON-.

NITrEE.
The democracy Of the city Of New York
represented in the Tammany hall genera
committee, congratulate the democracy o
Pennsylvania and tho western states upor
the spirit and indomitable energy eyinced
ny them IN their recent contests, which are
but the preliminary skirmishes to the grea
national battle to be fought next month.
we congratulate them upon the great al
yantages won. Those advantages would
have been full triumphs had it not been fol
the expenditure Of vast corruption fund
calculated by millions, collected, not only
from the placemen and office holders Of the
radical congress, but also from the combina
ton who have been depreciating the reye
nues of the government by Illicit manufac
lures. Even this corruption fund would moi
have resulted in preventing the preliminary
triumphs Of the democracy in the state OF
Pennsylvania if it had not been for the ar
bltrary acts Of radical inspectors, in direct
dlsobedence Of the courts, and in violation
OF the constitution and laws of the United
States, in refusing to receive the votes of our
naturalized fellowcitizens.
The votes Of the naturalized citizens who
were denied the right Of suffrage in Penn.
syIysnla because they intended TO vote with
us would have been more than enough 10
have given US victory at the late election.
We are glad to hear that our friends there
have determined that the votes of our adopt.
citizens shall be received at the coming elec.
ton.
But the corruption treasury Of the enemy
cannot again be successfully used under the
vigilance Of the democracy. The coonizers
sent by the radical committee Of this state
must remain here to contest, though futile
effort the Empire state.
The gallant democracy of Philadelphia
have redeemed their city from radical des.
potsm and we receive with confidence the
that, with fair election and pure
ballot, which they are likely to have, they
will be victorious, by a largely increased
majority, in the decisive battle of next
month.
Our brethren in Ohio have contended
against the heavy majorities of fanaticsm
aud radlcalism. They have struggled gal.
antly. They have fought an honest fight.

Victory in Indiana was almost in our grasp.

The radicals, already alarmed at the deter.
linatlon and vigor of the democracy of
Pennsylvania, and the great west, appreci.
te that the great decisive battle is not vet
ron.
The democracy Of the Empire state, proud
her great statesman, Horatio Seymour,
re no less proud of that gallant soldier of
lc west, who, by his energy and bravery,
sved his state from rebellion, and fought at
lie head Of his corpse in the battles of the
Iuthwest, and in all those upon the great
larch from the mountains to the sea-"
The radicals, conscious of the unrelaXed
igor Of the democracy in Pennsylvania and
10 west, and their own rapidly decreasing
Die, endeavor to inspire their wavering
inks, and to demoralize the advancing
emocratlc columns by silly stories of ii,
ded columns.
We are united. We believe in our cause.
is the cause Of constitutional liberty, of
ersonal rights, Of a fraternity of states, Of
I economical government, of the financial
edit OF the nation, of one currency for all
en-, rich and poor-of the political suprem {
y of the white race, and the protection of
bite labor. I
The radicals of Pennsylvania and the !
estern states have placed another plank in /
cir platform. 1t is to prescribe the vote
naturaIized citizens. In their despotic
'licy to control our country, they gave suf I
age to the negro race of the southern states. t
ID have exiled white labor They boldly ]
oclaim that their laws and policy shall $
otect the negro and Cypress the natural. c
ID citizen. Their next step will be to i
ing the southern negro north to vote down r
