TAAxASY's PLEA.
Tammany Hall comes compaclly on the field with
solid and well equipped ranks She has emerged from
the Albany battle field with flags gayly ullering 10 The
breeze The prestige oil victory corries with II on ihu-
snsm, and the rank and HE OF the party feel
coufi' once which II - exceedingly difficult TO shake.
Mr. mes 5. Thayer, In hs County Convention speech,
scou cd the idea that Tammany was responsible for
the Dany achievement, BY which the old ticket was
defeated and tho Canal Ring banner advanced once
more 10 the 'front.' That statement true a
OF fact. The wonderful abilities OF Tammany wcrc
not at oil cxempned In this light Tho main question
was settled before Tammany had q voice In the Con-
vention. But tho sympaihies OF tho Wigwam wcre
we'll known, aud her s.moraln influence had a good
deal do with the final result Her position was an
hounced several weeks before tho bling Of tho
Convention, and when the time came she
was ready to clasp hands with the l69

main incentives 10 work in IL political campaign.
Tnmmany already controls nearly two.thirds OF the
places in the city She ycarns reward faithful

enemy. There are several places hcre which would

follow that tho Board of Aldermen WILL too, be cap
,ured by tho enemy. This end to the canvass would
provo great disaster and materially disorganze the
plans Of Tanmany IN her attempt 70 control Tho uture
politics Of tho city and State The strongest argu-
mont which Tammany puts forth IN support Of her
ticket 10 the plea Of regularity ana the necessity Tor
cohesion 80 as 10 secure control OF the next cgs-
lature 1t Is contended that tho combination
between the republicans and rebeilious demo-
Assembly and two OF the Senatorial districts IN this
city TO that party Such n disposition OF the fight
might, TOO, further postpone proper and equitable
rcapportonment Of the state, and also endanger tho
election OF democratic United States Senator in 1879
These arc spccious ana apparently well timed argu-
ments; but It Is argued from another standpoint hat
q time has arrived when ali party lines are
about to be broken In pieces. II harmo-
NOUS Welding together Of republicans. German

ties present first class ticket for all Offices be
this fall far ahead Of rammanys slate every
particular, then party predictions VIII stop in
the way 10 defeat such combination. Tho people Of
the city, State anu county, the combination leaders
assert, have become sick of this everlasting cry Of
party lines. What they want rs good, honest,
intelligent, capable men tor Office the parties can take
care OF themselves.
TIKI ASSEMBLY SLATE
Last Sundays HERALD contained list of the proba-
BILE nominees of all parties for members OF Assembly.
No changes have since been made 10 alter the general
appearance OF the foid. The republicans hope to
several OF tho districts by combining with the
independent democrats, Germans and Anti-Tammany-
ties. This Is the foundation for frequent arguments
on the part Of Tamnany Hall against the combination
ticket The outside are called to their
party, and described trading politicians willing to sell
out TO the republicans Tor the purpose oil accomplishing
their ends But the great masses of the citizens OF
New York can afford to bury partisan considerations

THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
A good many voters IN ths city arc under a serious
misupprchcnsion relative to the proposed constitu
uonni amendments. they think that they will DO
voted upon at the coming election. This Is mistake,
the amendments must receive the sanction OF the
next Legislature before they can bc sent 10 tho people
for acceptance or rejection. THIS important contro-
vcrsy cannot, therefore. come up before November,
1873. IL has been tho policy OF many of our 'nno-
