Tbe new York nominations.

The New York Democratic National
Convention wound up on Thursday
last after a session of six days, Sunday
included. Taramsny Hall was turned
into a slaughter-house of the poor
Pendletonians, who were decoyed into
the Jaws Of their enemies, the moment

Western enthusiasm, fred by western

Western delegates succumbed to the

ARIt Of History.

In August, 1864, the Democrats Ma
tional Convention assembled IN Chica-
60, Horatio Seymour being then, As
now, President. The frstplank in the
platform adopted vas as follows;
ResoIusd, That this Convention does
explicitly declare. as the q of the
American people. that after four years
of failure 70 restore the Union BY the
experiment of war, during which,
under the prstense Of 3 military neees-
sity or war power higher than the Con-
stitution, the Constitution has been
disregarded in every part and public
liberty and private rights alike trodden
do1n, and the material prosperity Of
the country essentially impaired-Jus-
tice, humanity, liberty, and the public
welfare demand that immediate efforts
be made for the cessation Of hostilities,
with a view to an ultimate convention
of the States, or other peacea5ls means,
to the end that at the earliest prsctlca-
BILE moment peace may be restored on
the basis of the Federal States.
One of the speakers then said To-
For over three years Lincoln has
been oslling for msn, snd they have
been given, but with all the vast
armies placed st his command, ne has
f4leat failed = FKIEzeNl FAILEDIu
Such a failure has never been known
Another speaker said; HEsToE
There is no difference between q
war Democrat and an Abcliionist.
They are links OF y sausages made
out Of the same dog. 4Bl 80
These resolutions were passed and
these speeches were made in the face
of the b~rilIant victories then being
won. Now these same men are in
New York, sitting sids by aide with
Confederate Soldiers, and q very few
Federal Soldiers, bowling just about
the same stuff, in the face Of the re
admission Of eoneasred States, and in
the face of the fact that despite Demo
cratic opposition reconstruction is al
most q fixed fact. Democracy nsyer
earns. NrF HfrnE Hru
