8. Ihat the TammAny ring, with its colossal plum
der OF the people, pollution of the ballOtbOx de-
Element of the bench, mismanagement oflhe pub
lie works, increase of taxation and addition Of a
denclency OF Sb,bOOUOO to the public debtwere di-
rect fruits OF Democratic rule in this Safe; that

whether by land or water, should be avilable for
the purpose OF an uninterrupted sand adequate
transportation at III muimum rates; that the sub

statesmanlike spirit commensurate with its
great Importance, and that we hold it be the
paramount duty OF the coming LegiIature to
devise means whereby the cereals Of I'M country
may find their way with sure dispatch b the sea
board, and thence to the markets OF tb world;
That, considering the necessity of wise lction to

this State should be adapted to steam navigation
and by the refunding Of the debts in longbonds at
a low rate of interest, should be made q free to

through the State.
