TAs Democracy Of New York.


fne eta0 convection OF the gallant
Nov York Democracy NEE at Rochester
On the 4th inst. CN. Potter was elected
Sresidsnt, with eight vice presidents aud
eight secretaries. There we're two sets
Of delegates ia sttendance from the city
Of New York, tho Tammssy end the
Reform. The convention excluded both
ssts on the grounds that neither of them
had been elected 10 conformity with tho
call Of the central state committee, thus
excluding that city from the deliberations
Of the convention. .....
The Tsmmany frauds were dssounced
both BY resolutions and speeches. Hon.
Samuel J. Tilden 10 the closing remarks
Of bis speech said that at was now time
to proclaim and enforce the decree, that
waoever sIsuders the people, though he
ssssi tts livery of heaven to serve the
devil in, is no Democrat" True Demo
crats all over the country will coy,
Anon.
The following Is the substance Of the
resolutions adopted by the convention,
which will be found sound to the core /:
LIST. The administration is denounced
a. false to it's pledges and the coustitu.
tiou. 1t has kept alive sectional hatred,
refused amnesty to submissive citizens,
denied peace to restored States, made
rich richer, and poor poorer, and now
sseks to perpetuate its power BY military
interference with popular assemblagcs and
elections.
I'd. The emancip patton and eufrau chise.
neot Of the colored people is fully roc
ognixsd.
Sd. The fraud aud corruption Of the
ouuicipal government Of New York city
ia denounced. aud immediate punishm me o,
invoked upon all who may be IMPLICATED
in it. Various reforms are also sug
guested.
4th. A legal definition 10 recomme o ded
Of the power Of towns aud cities to create

We would especially call the attention
Of our Radical E;eods to tho thi-d reeo
luton. When and where did the Radi
cal party ever arrsign dishonesty ant
fraud among its Office. holders, as thi
convention did the reputsd Democrat
that have been running the municipa
government Of the city Of New York
II has always attempted to shield an
hide its fraud, rather than expose i. an
attempt reform. It is true . few Re
publicans have become dissatisfied wit
Grant, but there Is but . mere handf,
who are bold enough to even oppose bin
The majority Of the party either approx
or try to hide the corruption Of the 60,
eminent by bowling Tammany.

lutious, the convention adjourned unit
