FROM NEW YORK.

| New YORK, Oct. 2l-The Democratic National
Committee has issued an address. 1t makes no au
sion to any change of candidates It says We are
charged by the Radical party of violence and s,rpa
tion which, for the last four years proong its
existence, has set naught the Constitution and fun
damenta principles of our government that we intend
revolution and defiance of established laws. The ac-
cusation is unfounded ard absurd. 1t cannot be en-
tertained for moment by any intelligent voter WHO
has even the most superficial knowledge Of bis coun-
try. The Democratic party can proudly point 10 ev-
cry page of its record. 1t has never violated single
obligation of the fundamental compact by which these
United States entered into family of masons. It's
watchword in peace as in war, has been and always
will be The Union, the Constitution and the Laws
and no man any set of men, however high they
might be placed by the suffrage of their fellow ct
zens expect to receive the support of this great
conservative party in any revolutionary attempt
against the established laws. The ballot-box and the
supreme will of the American people are the only
means of redress to which we look.

NEW York, Oct 23.-The following is more ex-
pcit statement of the recent decision by the Supreme
Court of this State in tue question raised in the lower
court the right of the eector sit in the conven-
ton for the remodeng Of the State constitution be-
he declined to take the oath as prescribed
bv the Legislature. The decision of the higher conrt
was in substance that the Legislature had no consti
tutolsa right to impose any such obligation upon the
eector, because, if there was any guilt incurred by
giving aid to the rebellion the acts were com
mitted before the statute passed and the law of
the Legislature was therefore, in this case an er post
facto law, creating crime which is contrary to
the spirit and letter of the Federal Constitution and
that the statute in question violates the constitution of
the State of New York.
