New-York tribune., 1873-09-04

Of state has split time to cast anchor revive the
oldashioned patriotic jealousy Of Government power
10 restore the Government TO what It was when the
Constitution declared that great central power can
exa itself against the interest and liberties Of the
| people.
The principles and essential truths OF republican lib
erty set forth the noble inaugural of the greatest Of
American Democratic statesmen, President Jefferson,
vital when first spoken, denied and trampled
upon practice by the party in power form noble
a political creed any needs to pm
his faith 10 (applausel that these principles
outlswed in the Government Of the country is suf
cent of itself did other exist TO vndicate the
night OF the Democratic party TO live; for when they
cannot marshal party for their defense, the Republic
passeth into history. For myself and I doubt not
speak in this the unanimous sentiment Of
this Convention, I propose to stand firmly by
these principles in political action, whatever parties
survive perish. Where the banner OF the Consttu
tion floats in the tumult OF politics wish TO be
enemies cannot celebrate obsequies until fey offer
worthier mourners True, the Democratic party may

only come when better organization be foundto
embody its immortal spirit. Prolonged applause.]

Hon. Wm. AspinwaTl of Brooklyn moved that the
nomination of Mr. Castor be made unanimous, and
it was carried with renewed enthusiasm after which
the Convention adjourned, with an excellent appe-
tite for dinner.
The afternoon proceedings were almost as harmo-
nious in the morning the only debate being
elected by Mr. Fitzgerald's condemnation Of the
resolution salary grab and his desire to knaw
if Mr.. CASTOR would accept. No one appeared to
speak for him, however. and the State Central Com
