Workingn,en,s Procession.

The workingmen of New York held a grand
demonstration on Wednesday the 18th instant.
There were $4,000 men in the line of the process
sion. Every class of workingmen, that can be
demonstrated laborers, was represented with
delegation. Painters, bricklayers, plumbers,
plasterers, carpenters, pasons, timers tanners,
gunsniths,' founders, cabinst makers, hatters,
stOnecutters, upholsterers, 40 arrayed in appro-
priste dress, decorated With hottoesaud designs,
waving flags, banners, &c.
The procession began TO assemble at l. o'clock
q. m, ard the time until O'Clock p. m. was &C.
cupied in getting them in line. Just as the
painters and bricklaysrss got into line, large
body Of black laborers were seen wheeling into
line amid roll oil, drums and the bugliug of
flies. The men all woe badges and rosettes.-
The painters and brcklayefs welcomed the sable
sons of toll to their ranks by sending up rousing
cheers. The colored laborers responded cheerily,
when the two thousand bricklayers and painters
took off their hats, whirled their flags and ban
ners and cheered until they were hoarse. Cannon
were stationed at various points along the route,
certain intervals. At the conclusion of the pro-
cession the people gathered in vast crowds at
Cooper Institute where large and enthusiastic
meeting was held over which Mr.. VIM. J. Jessup
presided, and John Connolly acted as secretary.
The meeting passed a series of fourteen resolu-
tons, setting forth principles upon which these
workingmen cooperate for the purpose of their
individual welfare.
The first preamble states that capitalists and
employees exact the greatest possible amount of
labor for the least possible remuneration. The
second alleges that capitals the accumulation of
| labor, and in the hands of the aristocratic few
becomes an instrument Of degradation and op-
preston instead ola fund ofsecurity for the work.
ers. The fifth condemns the abrogation by cap
italists and employees the eight hour law which
is in force in that State. The first resolution de-
mands an abolition of all monopolies and calls
for full recognition of the social and political
interests of the laboring classes. The second
makes bold demand for the full recognition of
the law making eight hours full day, and that
any attempt at interference or evasion will be
after none but skilled workmen in the line of
their business be employed in any department of
the national, State or city government. The
seventh calls for a vigorous enforcement of the
| eight hour law. The speeches were all made by
workingmen representing different trades.

WhiDDi7lQ Them In.

The mantle of Hon. c. L. Vallandingbam has
fallen on VIM. S. Groesbeck. He has become
the brave champion Of his prototypes "New De-
parture'' doctrine. He has AIKEN up the work
left unfinished by he Unfortunate d"-sased. 4
few nights ago in speech in Cincin ns'' be sid :
''The recent constitutional amendr1e. IS and for
the final trea,y of Or civil war. Alitte States
had abolished slaverv b. local legislation and it
was wise and proper hat The Federal constitu-
ton should 10 likewise. Referring TO the adop-
ton of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,
he said the means used to procure their adoption
were extraordinary, violent and unsatisfactory.
But be could see nothing in their history that
would destroy their validity"
This is bold language from bold man, though
Democrat. Mr.. Groesbeck is a man of cour-
age-one whose pluck and ability are calculated
to lift the Democracy out of lis dead issues
This brave action of this Democratic leader meets
hearty response in the advanced Democracy of
Massachusetts.
On the eth instant, the Democratic party of
that State assembled in State Convention at
Springfield, and nominated their State ticket for
the fall campaign. Their standard-bearer for
Governor is Hon. John Quincy Adams for Lieu
tenant Governor, S. G. Lamb for Secretary of
State, Luther Stevenson; for Treasurer, Levi
Haywood for Auditor, Phineas Allen; for At
torney General, VIM. P. Warren. Their resolu-
tons accept the amendments to the Constitution
and adopt the Chew Departure" in toto But
the most novel part Of the whole affair is the as
ISOLATION of the name of John Quincy Adams
one that is illustrous in the history Of our coun-
try for eminent services in battling against the
expressions of the Democratic party-with
party whose entire past career has been in direct
antagonism with the sentiments en- ertained by
the whole line of the illustrious family of
Adamses.
But then we see vast deal of good that Mr..
Adams can accomplish in the Democratic party.
Naturally 1t is party that is slow to embrace
anything new, slow to forget or desert any old,
wornout custom or institution and still slower
to forget old ideas and embrace new ones. To
bring the party along with the requirements of
the times, it is essential that such men as Mr..
Adams should belong to it, to educate its mem
bers into Republican ideas under the name Of
Democracy. These Massachusetts Democrats un-
der the advanced leadership of Mr.. Adams, would
be called Republicans in Maryland. A few such
men in the Democratic party in Maryland would
soon unseal its mouth

ACT At ONCE We have for several years past
heard nutHerous people Of our county say that
''the Office should seek the man and not the man
the office" This is an excellent doctrine, and if
always carried out we have no doubt it would
rebound to our benefit. If it were faithfully ex-
ecuted we should not be so embarrassed by in
competent and unworthy men forcing themselves
upon the people through nominating conventions.
The Republican party has shown itself willing to
depart from its custom of nominating a ticket in
this county in order that the good people whole
sire a faithful execution of the laws and an
economical administration Of its affairs may
select from the ranks of the people, irrespective
of party, gentlemen who are competent, worthy
of the peoples confidence, and who are not
biased and controlled BY the iron rod OF the De-
mocratic party organic ltiOu to eli the esp. ctive

To Messrs. Charles G. Fulton. William H. Weaver,
F. u. Darby, William Perkins and Thomas
r. Rich, Committee, de-:
Dear Sirs-I have just read your letter Off
cially informing me of my nomination as a
candidate for the Office of Attorney General of
this State, made by the Republican State Con-
venton of Maryland.
feel grateful for this honor so unexpectedly
a second time conferred upon me by the Union
Republican party of my native State, and the
more so, as hope l may consider this act of
the Convention as an approval by my fellow
citizens of my performance heretofore of these
official duties.
Candor requires me to add prefer another
should have received this nomination. Ihave no
political aspirations, and desired to conclude
my professional life in my private practice at
home, but as the Convention has adjourned,
and the declinaton of one of its nominees
might be misunderstood, and his attachment
to the Republican party questiOned-an impu5s.-
ton to which no act of mine shall be exposed
l feel it my duty to accept this nomination.
Allow me further to add that my devotion to
the Union of my country, to all who sustained
it in its wears Of tcial, and to this wise faithful
and economical Administration, who are now
so successfully perfecting that Union, was never
more sincere and ardent than at this present
time.
Permit me to tender, through you, my thanks
to the members of the Convention for this ex-
preston of their confidence, and to yourselves,
gentlemen, for the kind terms used by you in
communicating it, and to assure all, that if
elected to this Office its duties to the extent of
my ability shall be faithfully performed.
With great respect l am
Your obedient servant,
