The Convention chose some good nen
and. we doubt not, good woman, as it,
nominees. and the Democratic platform
OF borrowed though despisel p!anks i,
much less Objectionable than Democrat
have been wont TO build: but White ".
have just as good candidates standing
upon platform ofprinciples which have
made and saved the nation, and 10 which
they as Republicans have thrice proved
their fidelity, We shall not long hesitate

inclined to doubt that any one had au.
thority for so using it.
The resolutions we view IL cheap

Democrats are looking only to Gua!ti-

That is all they receive in New York

the cheap administration of public

city of any Importance in our own
State, only counts her debt by the mil
